“I do work outside, too,” he said gruffly, unable to simply say thank you. “With the laborers?” she murmured.

He looked at her with amusement. “Eloise Bridgerton—” “Crane,” she corrected.

A burst of pleasure shot through him at her words. “Crane,” he repeated.

“Don’t tell me you’ve been harboring secret fantasies about the farm laborers."

i just want to point out that in terms of instagram posts that daniel has had a far better farewell than nyck ever did, because i looked at the most recent posts and eight posts out of the fifteen that i can see on my phone immediately have daniel in the thumbnail

was the way he was dropped very unceremonial and shitty? absolutely yes. but don't act like he isn't getting a send-off at all, because the last time red bull dropped someone from vcarb, you wouldn't know who the fuck was just dropped judging by the sheer volume of posts talking about daniel's return and how happy everyone is to have him back, and nyck was only mentioned one time by franz tost and later by yuki in the pre-race at hungary

realizing that Voyager never got t-shirts because of how quickly they were deployed, Tom and Harry decide to replicate some. They immediately have a conflict over whether the shirts should say "YAGER" or "VOYAG." Neelix suggests that they compromise on "VOYER" but both refuse.

While Tom, Harry, and Neelix are bickering over abbreviations of Voyager, B'Elanna designs a shirt for the Maquis crew which says "VJEAN" on it for "Val-Jean." Janeway bans all ship-name t-shirts for being too divisive.

I have to admit, I have no idea how you manage to translate. I just had a translation exam and... yeah.

"Urge", that's probably "recommander de urgement" (sic). "Recommander" feels too much like an advice you can just discard. "Conseiller" (advice)? Ditto. Well, let's go with recommander. Wait, how do I spell it? "Urgamment?" (sic), "urgeamment?" (sic) how do I even spell "urgant" (sic)? "Urgeant" (sic)? It feels weird with the e. It's probably urgant (sic). [A few seconds later...] Wait, no, it's urgent! So is it "urgemment" (sic)? Let's write that.

[Sees a second "urge"] err... "Conseiller" really feels too mild. What could it be?

"Conseiller" nope.

"Recommander" no.

"Conseiller" NO!

"Pousser" nope, that one is too much of an active action.

"Inviter" oh. Yeah. That fits.

Then I had several occurances of "how do I write this French word?" Précédemment/Précédamment, démarrer/démarer...

i forgot you havent seen me go mad because of translating yet. hm. [one example], [another better example] of my madness. and also [an example of what a dissection of intention] looks like when i do it and another of [what sentence deconstruction] looks like when i'm stuck

fam. i've been translating for nearly 2 years now. got dozens of thousand of published words behind me, some more thousand unpublished. i am used to the madness and the suffering of it. and i am not alone in the process. i call friends to ask whether something sounds aight, i use [deepL] for when im stuck on a particular word, [context reverso] when an expression escapes my mind. i do not rely on my faulty brain or the guys in my head alone.

hate translation exams with your heart as i hate the summer ❗❗❗ world's worst way to test translation capabilities

like just with your example word "urge". no word is ever divorced from its context in an actual translation setting! whether you're working with books, poems, medication instructions, package labels, or anything you could think of, they all exist in a context that provides expected vocabulary! just being given a word on its own also strips it of expected word class, like "urge" can be a verb or a noun, and in french those would be entirely different words yeah? a noun would be "une envie/un désir" and a verb would be "inciter/exhorter"! Give Me Context To Work With!!

as for spelling, i always think of my professor's favorite phrase: french is just vibes trying to look pretty. except for the set-in-stone rules yaknow (-o at beginning, au middle, eau end, CECI for when C is pronounced S and G isn't hard, etc.)

and i still dont know when it's leur or leurs in any given setting.

conclusion: it comes with experience *shrugs*

Day 3 of reposting my old Dan and Phil pixelart because I'm pretty sure the original posts are lost to the ether.

These are from the 2021 Phandom Gift Exchange! The first one was for the summer exchange (the person I was paired with had asked for a disco theme) and the second one was for the holiday exchange. I looked through the gift exchange reblogs from those dates and couldn't find them so I'm assuming the originals are gone for good :/.

[snertoe]

got back into animal jam recently and wanted to share my contribution to the community.

there are only three copies ingame, only one of which i own and i am unable to make copies seeing as my account was banned from making masterpieces because it was discovered that i hid the word “cock” in an old art piece

[joanbaezed]
