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.

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.

I HAVE MADE A DISCOVERY 🦀

[like-tears-in-rain-storms]

Guys I beg you,

I'm looking wherever I can, but if anyone finds Nosferatu's script of Bill Skarsgard's dialogue in Dacian, or any sort of in-depth explanation of how Florin Lazarescu went about constructing it (in whatever language, I can read Romanian well enough if need be), please drop a hint, God bless your heart.

Latin languages are typically easy to learn because most of the languages follow very specific sets of rules with only a handful of exceptions that once you memorize you're good to go.

Also, they use accents, which help with figuring out how to pronounce the words and, alternatively, how to spell words.

French is, of course, the exception to the rule.

Because of course it is.

i love nicknames and terms of endearment as a polyglot.

my wife and i’s favourite term for each other is a mix of english, norwegian and spanish: babilita (babi is how we spell saying “baby” with a norwegian pronunciation and then we add the suffix -ita used in spanish to indicate cuteness and threw an l in there because it makes it smoother in norwegian)

like ??? you can just take the cutest part of multiple language that are meaningful to you and attach them all to your most special person ????? loving someone to the point of creation ???????????

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.
