Ever wondered about the difference between "bleiben" and "verbleiben" in German? Let’s break it down! 🇩🇪 Bleiben simply means to stay or to remain. Whether you're staying at home or remaining calm, "bleiben" is the go-to verb. Example: Ich bleibe zu Hause (I'm staying at home). Verbleiben is a bit different. It’s often used in a more formal or abstract context, like agreeing on how to proceed. It can mean something like "to come to an agreement" or "to decide on something". Example: Wie verbleiben wir? (So, what do we agree on?). Think of "bleiben" as staying in one place, while "verbleiben" is more about making a final arrangement or understanding. It's subtle, but it makes a big difference in context! Mastering these little differences is what makes learning German so interesting! 📚💡 Have you used these words in a conversation yet?

Gimme all them etymologies

"Irish doesn't have a word for please, you have to say if it be your will" buddy do I have news for you about "please"

"Irish doesn't have a word for hello you have to use a shorthand religious blessing" buddy do I have news for you about "goodbye"!

"In Polish the word for car is that which walks by itself" BUDDY what do you think an AUTOMOBILE is?

you have got to understand that your mother tongue is not the model of language. all your words have secret histories and layers of meaning just the same as other people's words. the word you think of as just a word has etymology, it wasn't handed down from God as a finished word. English doesn't have a word for movie you have to either refer to the recording medium or use a short version of "moving picture", isn't that cute?

[Congrats] The 4th Japanese speaker at TED

A Japanese person gave a speech at TED. This is the fourth person in history to do so.

TED is, as everyone knows, the world's largest presentation event. It is very wonderful that he spoke at the original event, which is held once a year in Vancouver.

Although the selection criteria have not been revealed, it is believed to be due to his achievements in producing and providing sweet strawberries, mainly in the United States, with a total cumulative total of 150 million USD raised. The presenter said that he was selected by a TED curator.

There was nothing surprising or unexpected about the content of his presentation. However, I think that his confidence in his presentation is reflected in his track record of using modern technology to produce and provide delicious strawberries that have never been seen before.

Anyone speaking/learning Norwegian?

I want to join a free course next semester and I’m wondering if I’m a fool and it’s impossible to learn or if it’s doable. Considering that I’m an Italian who learnt German and Ancient Greek I think I would now he scared only by learning Russian, Finnish or Chinese/Japanese (and probably more languages on the same difficulty level which I am not even aware of) but I really want to learn Norwegian!

Can someone help and share their experience?

Recently, while looking at the Irish word for "vegetarian", I recognized the word "feoil" as meaning 'meat', which of course made me curious about the meaning of the second part of the word. I was not disappointed by what I found out.
