Adventures in reading fanfic in Greek: "fix it fic" has been transliterated wholesale rather than just translating "fix it" straight to Greek (διορθώστε το) and now I am wondering how often this happens in other languages given that most fic-related terms must have originated in English. Tbh I find this deeply charming

#dean cas fanfic and destiel fanfiction however are just written in english amidst the greek #this is terrific fun however i am uhhhh like just through the summary. i understood a solid half of it #however i was just able to fully translate the sentence:#'i do not believe that in the year of our lord 2023 that i would be writing destiel fanfiction in greek'#without having to look anything up #next stop moving to santorini full-time. see ya suckers #linguistics #fandom #wait they also just transliterated please (πλιζ) instead of using παρακαλώ the greek word for please #but like the πλιζ pronunciation is more giving like 'plz' imo??? oh my god #CUTE!!!!!#and this was in the context of 'πλιζ μην είστε κακοί μαζί μου' so literally like 'plz don't be mean to me' this is sooooo!!!
