What is 밥(bap) in Korean? - how to be used in real life

밥(Bap) means literally a rice or a meal but this word is used in so many cases beyond its meaning. Let's practice with real examples!

밥(Bap)is a very important word in Korean language. It means literally a rice or a meal but this word is used in so many cases beyond its meaning. Probably it is because we eat rice as a staple food in Korea. Let’s dive right into the realistic examples here. You must have seen so many 밥 in a menu of Korean restaurants. When there is a dish which has rice in it, we just put those words together.…

I finally caught up with EP 3 & 4 of Let Free The Curse Of Taekwondo and I now have a stomachache from watching the absolute pain and anguish of them losing the dream they shared of escaping all their childhood trauma together.

But the angst is so DELICIOUS and the story is so captivating that I welcome the discomfort that watching a Hwang Da Seul drama brings!! I signed up for this body and soul!! Bring on the pain! 😭

My pet peeve about Forgotten Realms' Drow lore is that despite being told that Drow Society is this super restrictive, matriarchal society with reversed gender roles, we are rarely shown Drow househusbands. In fact, most of the named male Drow characters are portrayed as either career soldiers or arcane spellcasters. This is explained by saying that drow society, as it revolves around the worship of Lolth, regards arcane spellcasting as far inferior to divine spellcasting of clerics, and that while only women are allowed to have high-ranking positions in their armies like the generals and the lieutenants, the grunts and the footsoldiers are mostly composed of men.

My problem with that is..... One, you can't claim that you're reversing the gender dynamic in your fantasy setting and have what's considered to be "a man's work (derogatory)" in said setting be wizardry and the military, two jobs whose real-world counterparts (academia and the military) are *also* considered "a man's job (complimentary)" and are highly male-dominated fields in the real world, come on.

And two, how has this supposedly super-strict matriarchy sustained itself for so long? We've got this class of abused, oppressed, and very rightfully disgruntled gender, many of whom are a. combat-trained and has to vastly outnumber their female superiors, due to how the whole "military hierarchy" thing works, or b. can shoot fireballs and blow up stuff with their minds. Meanwhile, the Drow women mostly stick to religion and politics and lounging about in boudoirs in fantasy dominatrix gear. So what's stopping the men from staging a rebellion? Not to belittle the power that religion and politics hold in a pseudo-feudalistic medieval pastiche society, but I always assumed the reason the church and the crown was so powerful in medieval Europe was because they controlled the military!*

(*don't quote me on this, I'm not a history major)

Look, I don't mind depictions of fantasy bigotry in fiction (I quite enjoy them actually!), and it's possible to reverse the oppressed and the privileged class in a fictional society so that's opposite from real life in a way that it still poses pertinent questions about real-world oppression in our real-world society (e.g. Egalia's Daughters) , but I don't think Forgotten Realms quite manages to do that. If anything, it's weirdly reminiscent of that "feminists don't *actually* want to work jobs, they just want the men to do all the work for them and for women to reap ALL the benefits" antifeminist rhetoric ☹️

(To be clear, I'm not saying that Ed Greenwood and R.A. Salvatorre are misogynists, just that they either were confused about how sexism actually operates in the real world, or that they had some unexamined biases and hangups surrounding feminism that they perhaps failed to address.)

I don't mind fantasy bigotry in my fiction, but I want my fantasy bigotry to be realistic or at least believable, y'know?

hi hiii Theo(ry!!) can I ask why you call SeongJoong “madz” and not “matz?” :0 /gen

yeah no problem! it’s just a different romanization of the korean word/phrase but i’ll give a quick little rundown. so it comes from 맏형 which means oldest guy or oldest brother and this character > ㄷ < is the equivalent of an english “d” sound. the way madz is written in korean is 맏즈 “m a d j eu” and you can transliterate it as a t sound but in my opinion it doesn’t make as much sense here. there are letters that can make what are called t-stops when put at the end of a syllable and they’re called that because they make a sound similar to the last “t” in “that” if you’re someone who doesn’t put emphasis on it, which is probably why people write it as “matz” with a t. ㄷ is a t-stop (which i may have forgotten till just now) and another common thing with t-stops is that in pronunciation they kind of get dropped and instead you place more emphasis on the next letter, which in this case is ㅈ, the equivalent of j. so it doesn’t really make a difference because it’s not big in the pronunciation anyway but yeah i just kind of transliterate it more directly ? i guess :)

🙄🙄🙄🙄 are we seriously still doing the "wow things are bad here in the U.S., what are we, a bunch of Asians?" thing? It is actually extremely possible to discuss homegrown usamerican fascism without virtue signaling about Official Foreign Boogeymen

and as far as I've been able to discern, the second photo is celebrating teachers who volunteered to teach in impoverished rural areas, which idk how you can twist into being some evil plot, & has literally nothing to do with ANYTHING happening in Florida. Oh, but yeah, because it's North Korea, nobody has agency to participate in improving their country of their own free will, they're all poor little creatures living under constant threat of murder for having a smidge of dust on a portrait.

Jesus christ, I beg my fellow yankees to grow some critical analysis skills and stop believing anything that comes out of Yeonmi "Besties-With-Joe-Rogan-&-Matt-Walsh" Park's liar mouth. *Obligatory of course the DPRK has problems & isn't perfect so people will keep reading* but no country lacks problems!!! so stop treating North Koreans who support their government like they're a special kind of too stupid to know better, or a special kind of evil who gleefully feed babies to rats or whatever. It's chauvinism, it's racism, and I for one am done letting it slide when I see it. North Koreans are not props for westerners to whip out whenever white american christians commit acts of evil, and those affected by the loss of reproductive rights are not props to whip out for orientalist warmongering. We can see the fascism happening in the U.S. with our very own eyes, with ample evidence-- the Special Kind of Authoritarian Evil call is coming from inside the house.

See, this post wanted to make a point about the genuine horror show happening in Florida & other states, but by using a lazy dunk you've also distracted your point. Great job, you're reeeeeeally helping protect abortion access and trans kids with this 😒😒😒

Do better.

This staged photo looks familiar. What other authoritarian am I thinking of?

Republicans men are restructuring the lives of women as 'less than'. When you have no control over your body and must obey the State, you are not free.

Duolingo Alternatives by Language

Disclaimer: I haven't used or tested all of them. All resources have different strengths, e.g. Drops being designed for vocabulary. They often aren't full alternatives for Duolingo or formal classes. I just wanted to compile resources for all languages on Duolingo to make the switch easier, especially for the less popular languages.

Feel free to also check out my collection of free textbooks

If you want a more detailed resource list for any of these languages (or perhaps one not listed here) you can send me an ask and I can see what I can do.
