The Father Who Moves Mountains (2021)

A man becomes obsessed with the search for his son, who has disappeared on a mountain.

I kept watching to see if anyone became likeable and they did not.

The "Americanization of the global internet" post and slow deterioration of local native culture gave me an idea: many users don't even know there is native language communities on this website, so if you know of a regional group/"subculture" on Tumblr, reblog/comment with the tags they use so people can find them and connect with other folks from their countries or speakers of a language they'd like to learn

I will try to update this post with every new addition to hopefully make a comprehensive list of Tumblr regional communities

Edit July 29th: the post has reached a point where Tumblr won't let me add any more links, so from now on all tags are plain text to make it fair

Wool & lana

The word lana (wool) in languages such as Spanish is etymologically related to English wool. For words to be related, they don't have to look like each other. Instead, you have to be able to trace them back to the same ancestor through regular sound changes - and that's what linguists managed to do with wool and lana. The infographic shows the Germanic and Romance family trees of these words.

Timpul - Feli

[angelique-of-the-volturi-guard]

I headcanon Dick as Romanian, and I always felt like it took him a while to be able to call Bruce “Tati” (Dad) in his native tongue because that was reserved for John Grayson. But after Dick is severely injured one night as Robin it slipped out and stuck once Dick realized it didn’t take anything from his birth father to give to his adoptive father. And Bruce does a ton of research into Romanian culture and superstitions long before Dick’s adoption to be able to teach him about his heritage. But the best thing that came out of that, by far, was Bruce nicknaming Dick “Puiule” (a term of endearment for a boy or young man.). It becomes a piece of their relationship and a reminder that Dick is always his son first, not his sidekick. Anytime Dick is upset, the word “Puiule” cracks him open, or when he’s angry it breaks his walls. The word isn’t just a term of endearment, it’s a reminder that for Bruce, Dick can never be replaced because he only has one eldest son, and one “Puiule”. Even after Dick is grown and becomes Nightwing, he’s still “Puiule” to Bruce, and though he’d never admit it out loud, there’s cashmere comfort in that. It’s how they stay connected.

Sí, oui, òc!

Italian sì, Spanish sí, Portuguese sim and many more Romance words for 'yes' come from Latin sīc, which meant 'so; thus; like that'. In Popular Latin it got an extra meaning: 'yes', born out of the sense 'like that', i.e. 'like you said'.

French oui has a completely different origin. It comes from Old French oïl, a univerbation of o il, literally 'yes, it (is/does/has etc.)'.

O stemmed from Latin hoc (this), which became òc (yes) in Occitan, a group of languages whose name was derived from this very word.
