i'm jaem (they/them, 24) & this is my study/langblr sideblog! i'm very new to this so we'll see how i do 🥰currently, i am a history major with a concentration in east asia and i am in my 5th year at university. i am learning chinese actively and japanese, korean, and tagalog passively.my main is royalsampaguita and i also talk a lot about c-, k-, and j-dramas on mingi-bubu !
German here, what is your dad's favorite curse phrase 👀
The first half is "Gott verdammte Scheußlich" (except it always sounded like "Scheußlich-hest" so I'm not sure if I'm missing a word in the middle there) and then the last bit sounds like "no ha moy." Still have no idea what "no ha moy" means.
cnetizens post funny screenshots of group chat including class group chat, owners group chat or just chat between two people on chinese chat apps like WeChat or QQ
(fyi, in China, students, parents and teachers in different classes will have a chat group respectively where teachers will send out notices of events or information about tests and homework and such to make it easier for parents to keep track of their children in school. Parents usually change their note name in the group chat to their child's name plus mom or dad. Owners' groups are set up by the property management company of a neighborhood, where all the residents are in the group and can communicate with each other, and the property manager also posts notices in the group (if you are a foreigner living in China, make sure that you are in the owners group chat of your neighborhood so that you can keep up with the news and notices, and you can ask them questions in the chat usually everyone would like to help) Sometimes you witness dramas, like when someone is too noisy and his neighbor curses directly at them in the chat and starts a big fight, or when a homeowner's parking space is taken by another car and that homeowner posts that car's license plate number in the chat and starts bashing
OP's teacher add his QQ and asked him why he didn't come to class
Teacher confirms parents received notice(Parents often copy and paste the previous parent's response without reading it to save time
these are group chats from homeowners
(don't worry they are kidding no one spank kids who behave. Chinese parents usually only spank their children when they make serious mistakes, such as stealing, swearing at teachers, bullying and fighting with classmates.)
Current words that are the bane of my existence is:
追う おう
培う つちかう
拾う ひろう
誓う ちかう
覆う おおう
This has mainly been a toss-up between 培う and 拾う and 追う looking somewhat similar. The first two being the worst. And I'm just forgetful on the last two. I need these cards matured for my sanity.
“Centuries before we had American Sign Language, Native sign languages, broadly known as “Hand Talk,” were thriving across North America. Hand Talk would be influential in the formation of American Sign Language, but it has largely been written out of history.
One of these Hand Talk variations, Plains Indian Sign Language, was used so widely across the Great Plains that it became a lingua franca — a universal language used by both d/Deaf and hearing people to communicate among tribes that didn’t share a common spoken language. At one point, tens of thousands of Indigenous people used Plains Indian Sign Language, or PISL, for everything from trade to hunting, conflict, storytelling, and rituals.
