finding a youtuber/streamer who speaks in your own local dialect is so funny like. so thats what i sound like huh

[im2tired4usernames]

Ugh I was excited for today until I found out I'd have to spend it with people that actively make me hate being alive hate the future and drain me off all energy physically mentally spiritually like a vampire I can't stand to be around her she is the definition of stupidity and even then that's generous as fuck this bitch has filled her brain with so much garbage I watch her brain cells die at alarming rates every single time she uses her vocal cords her giggles make me want to jam a sewing needle into my ear repeatedly so I can never have to hear it again its a friendly reminder that my parents decisions this time my dad's constantly makes me want to die

Phone: oh? You didn’t want me to autocorrect ‘Were’ to ‘We’re’? In fact when I did that you went back and deleted it and typed ‘Were’ again? And when I corrected it again you went back and changed it again? And then waited for me to suggest you meant ‘we’re’, told me no, and then got frustrated when, after you finished typing the next word I changed it to ‘We’re’ again?

But are you absolutely positive you didn’t meant ‘we’re’ bc I’m preeeeetty sure you really did mean ‘We’re’.

I'm gonna be honest with you guys: I enjoy learning new languages, but the way I keep this streak going strong is because I'm truly terrified to lose my streak at this point.

Being called easy to care for a few times is nice but when thats your only character trait yeah uhh you failed life.

just remembered when I tried to translate the first chapter of the priory of the orange tree like a year and a half ago but gave up not even a quarter of the way through and tbh I get why it hasn’t been translated to dutch because even translating the title and making it sound Not Horrible is pretty much impossible

[farginen]

"alkahestry" "may chang" blocked.

[kritischetheologie]

literature for word fact ask fame

the most common misconception about me is that I was an English Major. this might be due to having written my first fic about Shakespeare, or maybe it is because I seem generally literary, or even because I have Big English Major Energy (derogatory?). anyway I was not in fact an English Major. it had too many requirements and I didn't like being made to read things I wasn't jazzed about. still don't tbh. this is a failing on my part and I do not recommend it.

your husband is the best kind of himbo, imagine thinking the USSR still existed. Not even in a ractionary evangelical boomer type of way, just like, "oh yeah that's a place!". Ignorance truly is absolute bliss. Can I swap minds with him btw

I'll have to tell him he's been assigned a himbo :D The funniest part of the whole "it's in Yugoslavia" exchange was that he knew in German the name of the country he actually wanted but didn't know what it was in English so he went for Yugoslavia (though he told me he knows Jugoslawien doesn't exist anymore????). It never occurred to him that since we're both bilingual he could have just... said it in German.

9 times out of 10 I’m gonna fuck up and pronounce it “Massive Two Shits” instead of “Massachusetts” and I am very sorry.

My mouth doesn’t do enunciation too good and you require me to pronounce all of the letters very specifically.

okay i Finally feel like i have the time and energy to get back to genshin

it’s a small thing early on in the tcg grand prix thing but i thought it was interesting

so when kaeya greets charlotte, he says “enchantée”

which is initially in line with him being a smooth talking kind of guy

but since charlotte is from fontaine, which is mostly based on france, he’s probably just greeting her in her national language, which is really thoughtful and respectful of him

i just thought that was neat :0

[vogelmeister]

there should be a scientific study into why i can sing in dutch but if i try and speak those same words i struggle

[loststolenorstrayed]

I love learning small parts of languages by being the equivalent of a weeb. it’s hilarious.

[supercantaloupe]

“but sasha you just spent like the past hour complaining about having to talk to other people in french why would you want to go back to europe” easy. i don’t speak german or italian or spanish. and the awkwardness of being an english speaker in austria or italy or wherever is far better than trying to speak subpar french to a french person

[ynwa-chiesa]

Just saw an american ask "so the different human races arent different species then?" genuinely nuke that entire nation i cant do this anymore
