#that shit is hard af to learn#a lot of mostly small words you put together and if you mistake one of them you're saying something completely different#“i made up with my mom after our argument” 😊 VS#“i made out with my mom after our argument” 💀#<- lestat behaviour#HAHA sorry#anyway i never liked learning phrasal verbs#idioms are where it's at#iwtv#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#loustat#mine#iwtv meme

Vintage
I've been thinking about Elven agriculture and food production (as one does) and I think grape vines would work very well! Growing vines on trees may be the oldest form of viticulture
#tolkien#my vocabulary in this field is limited in english#(and in any other language tbf)#is there even an english verb for harvesting grapes??#i learned this method of growing vines is called hautain (fr) or alteno (it)#the drawing was fun!#watch this guy doing one-legged squats on a rope carrying a basket XD#he'd be amazed that you can't#one day i'll make that beech-nut harvest painting that's in my head#and it will be glorious!

Amāre (Aimer) - Latin Translation
A/N: Guess who stumbled upon a Latin grammar textbook in her local library? Yeah, this took me awhile because I had some options. There was “Amoris pulchritudo” (The beauty of love), which would have been badass. There was also “Amor est pulcherrimus” (To love is the most beautiful), very close to the French. But I realized quickly that any starter word more than two syllables long would be murder, and I’m a stickler for accent stress. Hence, I took advantage of Latin’s syntactical flexibility. At least I got to keep the infinitive. Hope you enjoy!
Amāre (Aimer)
Romeo Pulcer est bene amāre Est ad summum surgere Et alas maiesti tangere Pulcer est bene amāre
Juliette Pulcer est magnē amāre Vīvens gloriam manēre Et in cor ignis ardēre Pulcer est magnē amāre
Both Amor est potentissimus Nobis optimum dāre Ama, et in spei vīve Ama ultra timorem
Chorus Pulcer est bene amāre Est ad summum surgere Et alas maiesti tangere Pulcer est bene amāre
Pulcer est magnē amāre Vivens gloriam manēre Et in cor ignis ardēre Pulcer est magnē amāre
Chorus (+ Juliette) Amor in noctem ardet (In noctem is ardet) Amor pretium habet (Amor pretium habet) Etiamsi nōs consūmeret Amor in nōs vīveret
Chorus (+ Romeo) Pulcer est bene amāre (Pulcer est amāre) Est ad summum surgere (Ad summum volāre) Et alas maiesti tangere Pulcer est bene amāre
Semper…
English Translation
Romeo It is beautiful to love well It is to rise to the highest And to touch the wings of majesty It is beautiful to love well
Juliet It is beautiful to love greatly To remain living in glory And to burn in the heart of a fire It is beautiful to love greatly
Both Love is the most powerful [It is] to give the best of us Love, and live in hope Love beyond fear
Chorus It is beautiful to love well It is to rise to the highest And to touch the wings of majesty It is beautiful to love well
It is beautiful to love greatly To remain living in glory And to burn in the heart of a fire It is beautiful to love greatly
Chorus (+ Juliet) Love burns in the night (It burns in the night) Love has a price (Love has a price) Even if it consumes us Love would live in us
Chorus (+ Romeo) It is beautiful to love well (It is beautiful to love) It is to rise to the highest (To fly to the highest) And to touch the wings of majesty It is beautiful to love well
Always…
#my lyrics#retj#romeo et juliette#aimer#cristina is losing her mind#i’ve always wanted to learn latin#it was the grammar that intimidated me#the vocabulary is super easy barely an inconvenience#if it’s no good#it will have to do until the real thing comes along#(the real thing being better latin proficiency on my part)#my toxic trait is that i translated aimer into old english before latin#mea maxima culpa#also latin doesn’t have as many -are verbs as it does -ere ones#at least for this song. so i just let it be

Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Satoru Gojo/Suguru Getou, Satoru Gojo & Tsumiki Fushiguro, Satoru Gojo & Megumi Fushiguro, Suguru Geto & Mimiko Hasaba & Nanako Hasaba
Chapters: 9/17
Word Count: 131,325
Summary: They’re tangled together on the couch when Satoru brings up the boy with the sweetgum hair.
“He’s sorta scrappy looking,” Satoru describes poorly. “Short.”
“Short?” Satoru doesn’t need to see Suguru to know he’s giving Satoru a look - the one where he wrinkles up his chin and mouth, the one that says stop being stupid Satoru. It’s a common enough facial expression in the apartment. “Satoru, it sounds like he’s six. They’re all that height. It’s not their fault that you’re ungodly tall.”

would akechi speak multiple languages? cause at this point its basically canon that he soaks up information like a sponge. would he go all out and get dictionaries and textbooks and pronunciation guides or would he be able to learn just from watching shows in the target language?
im asking bc i wanna know if he would memorize every single verb tense in french. 99% of them are unnecessary, useless, needlessly specific, and so similar to like five others. but would akechi be able to use them properly.
#saiki k#saiki kusuo#the disastrous life of saiki k#saiki no psi nan#he would 100% be able to school a native speaker#most french people cant even get their verb tenses right all the time#i wanna hear akechi spitting french SO FAST that hes basically just a collection of the r sounds and keysmash#WOULD HE ROLL HIS RS?? oh my god.#i dont know enough about other languages to make stuff up for this so if anyone else is bilingual/studying another language please add on#theres a whole website ik dedicated to conjugating french verbs bc theres SO MANY#i feel like hed learn english first bc lingua franca. would he learn latin so that he know the proper names of animals and stuff????

If there is one thing I would like people to understand about Urianger it's that he is speaking an actual form of historical English that you can look up. It's not just random made-up Olde Timey Sounds. It's called Early Modern English, it has grammatical rules, and they're learnable!
#i keep sitting on this post because i worry it sounds bitchy and i don't mean it that way#if anything i hope it encourages people#yes learning a character's whole voice takes time#but the basics (pronouns and verb conjugations) are just a web search away#and i assume people don't look it up because they don't know WHAT to look up#like what it's called#i lean away from using 'shakespearean english' as a search term#not because it's incorrect but because shakespeare has a very distinctive style that isn't necessarily what you're going for here#and disclaimer i know sometimes posts are just Jokes and it doesn't matter#and i don't want to dunk on anyone who's doing their best with it#only to say you can learn it! and it's fun! and i believe in you!#ffxiv stuff#(i may also be working on a voice guide of my own. that'll be out at some point.)

just learned that the way we (in the US at least) typically learn japanese conjugation is almost completely different from how it actually works
I don't think I know enough yet to explain it fully but basically for example た (like when we say 行った or 食べた) and ます (like when we say 行きます or 食べます) can be conjugated themselves bc they're actually 助動詞
so that's how we end up with words like いらっしゃいませ bc the 〜ませ is a conjugation of ます
and also when we say 食べたら there's actually two conjugated pieces here which is the 動詞 (食べ, a conjugation of 食べる) and 助動詞 (たら, a conjugation of た)
whoahg
#mocha speaks#japanese langblr#learning japanese#idk how common knowledge this is but. it broke my brain a little#I was just asking my partner why they split it into 五段 (godan) and 一段 (ichidan) verbs and he was like#we kinda oversimplified those concepts they're not really real#and I was like huh.#and then he told me there's actually 5 types#「五段活用」 「 上一段活用」 「 下一段活用」 「 カ行変格活用」 and 「サ行変格活用」#anyways. maybe after I finish studying this more I'll make a post explaining it

taichi, he’s back!
…he’s back. arata’s come home.
#chihayafuru#ayase chihaya#mashima taichi#wataya arata#taichihayarata#this time on: this show makes my brain get hot like an old laptop#i translated taichi’s final line differently than the original subs bc#taichi says that arata ‘’kaette kita’’ [verb]#rather than arata ‘’deteru’’ which taichi said EARLIER THIS SAME EPISODE when he reluctantly informed chy that arata was here#meaning arata ‘’emerged/came out/participated’’ and has a neutral connotation#and taichi didn’t say ‘’modotte kita’’ which is another neutral way to say someone has ‘’come back/returned’’#taichi saying ‘’kaette kita’’ is an acknowledgment that arata has returned Home/to a place he Belongs#txtit#reftranslation#anyway this show is a dissertation on love and it drives me INSANE!!!#taichi looking past his own jealousy and feelings of inferiority; overturning#the zero sum mindset ingrained in him since childhood bc he looks at chihaya who is overflowing with simple abundant love#and admits to himself that despite all this unnecessary resentment he loves and misses arata too#((there is an interesting clumsily articulated though im having w taichi being the most materially wealthy chara#with the deepest emotional wounds bc of a learned scarcity mindset encouraged by the society that keeps him/his fam wealthy.#capitalism critique??? in my shoujo sports manga???? listen i’ll go there every time baby it’s not likely it’s inevitable.))#tags outta hand. sry

my red flag is that i am full of hubris (thinking “oh attic verb forms aren’t all that hard” despite all evidence to the contrary)
#i’m ready for the gods to nerf me because i had that thought. i am prepared.#the thing is THE THING IS the individual forms aren’t actually even remotely hard it’s just the quantity and irregularity that makes#the sum total incredibly hard. y feel#so the more you learn the worse it is#but the INDIVIDUAL UNITS ARENT THAT HARD . is all i’m saying.#knocks furiously on wood. watch me crash and burn because of this post.#i’m so far the only person in my class whose remotely good at greek besides this one girl who is even better than me#because she bothered to learn accent rules early on and so is GOOD at them unlike me#eyes homeric warily. i won’t fuck w ur verbs just yet.

Wait why not call it 'agent and object voice' instead of 'passive and active' voice? Feels more intuitive to me
#linguistics#my speech#language learning#tagalog makes more sense to me saying it this way#active andpassive i get are intuitive to english since the voice of transitive verbs gives a sense of targeting and action by the subject#by default. but idk.... a lot of linguistic jargon is so weirdly named lol why were white linguists so obsessed w greek and latin#just use normal words that make SENSE so i can get thru thisssss 😤

I’m so glad I was out of middle school before among us was a thing because my 8th grade Spanish class would NOT have been able to handle the third person possessive adjective ‘sus’.
#I’m taking a Spanish class over the summer for a humanities credit since I already took Spanish 1 in high school so I figured it’d be easy#but you know that post that’s like ‘being an artist makes you do stupid stuff like google table’#that’s me right now but I had to google the president because I couldn’t remember if he was bald#right now I’m just feeling the pain of having to remember which verbs we have and haven’t learned ye because if I use ones we haven’t#I’ll get points taken off because they’ll think I’m using google translate#which means I have to sometimes write stuff like ‘there is one cat in my family’ instead of ‘I have a cat’
