～ている vs. ～る

What’s the difference?

先生は「あいうえお」と言った

先生は「あいうえお」と言っていた

What’s the difference between the two? In this case, it is more about your reaction to what you have heard. Are you going to be more like “WTF, man?” or no reaction at all because what you have just heard is a regular/good old quotation (just like you quote someone in your university paper or sth). 

ている  focuses on your reaction. If I said this exact sentence to you, you’d be surprised and probably asked for some explanation, for example, He said that? Why? WTF?

る focuses on the words in the brackets. This is what he said. He used these exact words, I haven’t changed anything. But you wouldn’t be surprised because you just wanted to know the words the teacher used. 

~ている is an ending of imperfective verbs - verbs that have no end point. However, that ending implies a myriad of other meanings. In Polish (my native language), we also distinguish between perfective and imperfective verbs only, just like in Japanese. We use, in Polish, imperfective verbs when we talk about

occurring states, the course of which the speaker considers important. (Hence your surprise at the teacher’s words.)

I believe the same rule applies to Japanese ている verbs as well. 

る verbs are perfective verbs and these denote something completely opposite - we don’t really care, the course of action is somewhat unimportant for the speaker.

Correct me if I’m wrong!

The things you hear walking round the shops.

So round about mid-day today I thought, I have nothing in I fancy for lunch, time for a wander around the shops.

I go into one store and there are a couple of young women in the aisle in front of me, which was stocked with seasonal items. One of them turned to the other and said "Look at it, Valentine's day then Mother's day then it's FUCKING Easter!"

Reader I had difficulty containing my mirth.

～ている vs. ～る in reported speech

そういや 今夜 学校であれのお札 剥がすって言ってた

For more details, go here

言ってた is the past tense of 言っている.

Why did Itadori use 言ってた instead of 言った？

Even though he is reporting his friends' words, in this case, he's focusing on the implication of those words. The content/message/meaning of those words is more important.

言った would suggest that Itadori is just quoting his friends' words to Megumi because Megumi wanted to know what EXACTLY they said.

it finally fucking happened. after nearly 10 years it finally happened.

Chat Noir FINALLY Got a new fucking POWER!!!!!!

Ladybug has had more powers than chat this whole time even though they are supposed to be equal and balance out. Even though that was supposed to be the case, since season 1 Ladybug has had closer to Three powers as opposed to Chat's one power of Cataclysm. She not only had had Lucky Charm, which would be the opposite of cataclysm, but she also had the Miraculous Ladybug power AND the ability to cleanse akumas. Then later on she gains the whole charm thing and we dont even have to mention the abilities gained from her guardian position.

Since season 1 we have been waiting for Chat Noir to get some kind of upgrade since the show LOVES giving them to Ladybug and It finally fucking happened....

of course he still has fewer base powers than Ladybug for some damn reason but now having wow 2 powers as opposed to Ladybug's initial 3 but we pick and choose our battles and celebrate the little victories in this house or else the show will make me more insane than i already am.

Anyway his new ability to erase memories actually makes sense as his counterpart to the Miraculous Ladybug power. Ladybug fixes PHYSICAL things that were DESTROYED by a villain while Chat Noir destroys MENTAL things like memories CREATED by a villain. really clever.

In response to this investigation, The Meghans quickly devised a victim narrative to garner sympathy and distract from their bad behavior. I

Victim Narrative to Noprah: victims of racism

2019 South Africa: In response to MEgain & Sparry's bad behavior, Samantha Cohen's replacement resigned mid-trip. S/he departed the entire royal tour and return to the UK

The duo responded w/a victim narrative: 1) "Not many people have asked (ME) if I'm okay" 2) Threats to UK newspapers 3) suits co-star creates hashtag love for meghan 4) space heater faux fire 5) Sparry complained that wife cries & is unhappy. He declares his path is different from Wills 6) fled to Canada for a thriving "sabbatical"

2022 Indianapolis: filmed harassing female staff

2022 UK: Both filmed publicly harassing staff. Sparry had to be confronted by KP staff to release the hold his wife had on all the Queen's flowers.

I've been seeing a growth on hatred towards Tubblings (Tubbo's community) in here. Aswell as some explicit hate towards Philza.

It's not a huge issue yet, but before it is: know that we don't tolerate plain hate in here and u will be reported. Tumblr HAS a report system that works.

You ARE responsible for the things you say online.

Doesn't matter if you're famous, or a public figure, or just a jane-doe. You're not just another number or comment and u will be held accountable.

Be gone trolls
