pls....
those of you who still have tiktok, would you mind heading over and leaving a random comment or smth on this one?
i made a shitpost duet in the middle of the night and the only comment is a 13 comment long chain on someone trying to incorrectly fix my grammar, not realizing that I'm using "ink-blotting" as a noun rather than blotting as a verb
#like bro this has to be bait how have you not seen phrases be used as nouns before#tiktok#calligraphy#thank you

i've been dying for a poll option ever since i saw my followers' answers to that text post from february 2022 asking people whether they pronounce beloved as "be-lov-ed" or "be-loved". many people were emphatic about only using one option, and many others use both but were not always able to articulate when they use 2 syllables vs. 3. so out of the goodness of my heart and my insatiable lust for knowledge i have gone through the notes on that post and written down some likely contenders! you're welcome!!!!
BEFORE YOU ANSWER! think about how you would pronounce beloved in the following syntactic contexts:
noun, talking directly to the beloved: hey there beloved
noun, talking about rather than to the beloved: my beloved lives in a pineapple under the sea
adjective in a noun phrase: my beloved x lives in a pineapple under the sea
verb participle: x is beloved by y
okay poll time! there are no wrong answers!! and apologies in advance if i didn't capture your truth, i only had 10 options and life is a rich tapestry!!
#oh man i could have easily come up with another 5-8 options but they cap you at 10. which is probably a good thing#one person said they say 'my be-lov-ed x' but 'my much be-loved x'. the only difference being the 'much'. couldn't fit that one on here#someone else said they use 3 syllables in a possessive noun phrase (my be-lov-ed x) but 2 if it's not possessive (the be-loved x)#one person said it depends on whether it's past or present & i wasn't exactly sure what that meant. 'x is beloved' vs. 'x was beloved'?#i also think there's likely a distinction for some people between 'x was beloved' and 'x was beloved by y' but couldn't get into that#oh and then there's 'beloved by' vs. 'beloved of'#and since some of these are syntactic distinctions and some are semantic or otherwise i'm sure there's a whole matrix of combinations#like '3-syll noun if it's a person but 2 if it's a thing. 2-syll adjective/verb participle for both people and things'#that was beyond the scope of this poll lol#but mostly why i'm so curious is because people will very emphatically say something that might not mean what they think it means#like for instance i got the impression that at least some of the people saying 'be-lov-ed when i'm talking to them‚ be-loved when i'm#talking about them' actually mean they use be-lov-ed as a noun and be-loved otherwise#and some of the people saying 'always 2 syllables' probably have exceptions that they weren't thinking of at the moment#in particular 'dearly beloved'#and i'm very curious to know if 3-syllable people still use 3 syllables in the construction 'he was beloved by all'#so i think people's answers might change when given a list of more detailed options#fun with pronunciation#prosody#my posts#also i stressed for so long about what to call beloved in the 'x is beloved by y' construction#but settled on verb participle because i think it's fairly descriptive and accurate#so hopefully that's not too confusing? like it is a verb participle but for a verb that doesn't exist anymore (other than the participle)?#and even in 'my beloved x' beloved is a verb participle being used as an adjective if you're thinking more etymologically#but a lot of people were distinguishing 'be-loved as a verb' from other forms and i assume what they meant by that was 'x is beloved'

does anybody know if there are any languages where pronouns are only ever bound morphemes, such as clitics attached to the verb? i'm thinking of going that route with my new conlang but i'm not sure how naturalistic it is. kind of an extreme form of pro-drop where there can never be an overt pronoun.
#i mean i say that naturalism isnt a priority and i think thats true but i also dont wanna do something entirely implausible#but when it comes to linguistics i suppose there aint much thats totally impossible#this language is actually turning out more polysynthetic than i was expecting#i think im gonna include some noun incorporation as well but probably only with certain verbs and set phrases#ramblings

hi! with focloir, how do u approach the different pronunciations (connacht, munster, or ulster)? i know very little irish, but wanna learn more, and have heard great things about this site. did u just pick one of the pronunciations to focus on and stick with whenever u learn a new word? or do u try to familiarize urself with all three?
i started learning in donegal so i had an ulster bias from the beginning, so when i look up vocab online i tend to look for the ulster pronunciation for the sake of a little bit of consistency. but i've picked up a lot of words and phrases from different teachers over the years so my irish is actually a big mixture lol. like my teacher now has munster irish but there's enough of a mix in the class that we get some good dialect exchanges going on. i usually try to listen to the others when learning a word so i'd recognise it if i heard it in another accent/dialect but if i'm picking one to learn i go for ulster
you could just listen to some stuff and see what you vibe with, or pick one that correlates to people/places/events you have an interest in/connection to, or which one matches the resources you're using (some textbooks / online courses might be more one than another). i just went for the one that i got started with since it made the most sense to continue where i began.
#abair.ie is also useful if you wanna look up phrases or conjugated verbs#not sure if focloir uses the same audio as teanglann but if it does it's a bit challenging for verbs#whereas abair helps me with those#and also names and proper nouns and stuff#irish#gaeilge

One of the funniest things about learning both Spanish and Japanese is that. When I'm rambling to myself in one or the other (as I tend to do, living alone as I do. It's good practice), I sometimes end up unintentionally mixing up "y" and "と(to)". Like they both mean "and", and they just have the same Feelings to me as words. So sometimes I'm speaking in Spanish and catch myself throwing a と in there by accident. Less frequently done with Japanese just bc I am nowhere near as fluent in that as I am in Spanish (and thus less able to just Ramble in it like I can with Spanish), but the spirit is there I think.
Idk I think it's something with the vowels. Spanish and Japanese just have very similar sounding vowels. Makes it real nice to be learning either of them, bc they have pretty similar mouth-feels. Not Entirely the same, especially not once u add consonants in there, but for the basic 5 vowels? A Spanish a is a あ, e is a え, i is a い, o is a お, and u is a う
And I just think that's very refreshing. I really do enjoy learning both these languages, even if sometimes my talking to myself ends up being some hilarious conglomerate of Spanish, Japanese, and English. It's just me talking, so it's fine to get a little silly with it, I think
#speculation nation#when i try to practice in japanese. well im very limited in my verbs and grammar#though i remember a lot of nouns and phrases.#i'll often speak what i know in japanese. then when i come to a roadblock i supplement the word with the one in spanish#or english if i dont know it in either.#ultimately it's just me speaking thoughts out loud. but i think it's a good thing to practice my speaking sometimes.#i dont have anyone to practice with for either of them. so i get what practice that i can.#and maybe that turns into me narrating my actions in other languages as i do them#and maybe that turns into me cooing about how much i love my cats in both spanish and japanese.#i think it is productive overall. and im gonna keep on truckin with it!#i should work on studying them both some more sometime. gotta keep on learning!!!!

fascinated to see that this dico calls no especial attention to the fact that you're not supposed to make elision with the words onze or onzième (i.e., you say le onzième rather than l'onzième). i was curious to see if they would take the same route as my english-french dico, which puts an asterisk before the pronunciation like it does with words that begin with an aspirated h, but the only thing this one does is include the example sentence Il est le onzième.
#it includes example sentences all the time and it's not always immediately apparent to me what any given example sentence#is doing. in this case because i was already looking for it (and because i read the sentence aloud) i saw the 'le' (instead of l')#but i'm not positive i would have noticed otherwise#in fact this is maybe less clear than just including the example phrase 'le onzième' would be (instead of the whole sentence)#because it's an abridged dictionary so much of the context comes from how much information is included#like for example the pronunciation notes. to save space this dico only tells you the pronunciation of words that are exceptions#and even then only tells you the pronunciation for the part of the word that is pronounced differently than one would expect#rather than for the whole word#this is very helpful to me because a) when i see a pronunciation next to a word i always notice it because it's rare#and b) it tells me exactly in what way the word is pronounced weirdly#(which also often allows me to infer how that spelling would be pronounced if it weren't an exception)#lecture du dico#lexicography#french#my posts#so anyway including the whole sentence 'il est le onzième' is a bit misleading because you think oh it's just an example sentence#which could be in there for who knows what reason. the fewer units of information you have (words in this instance)#the less you have to guess at what they're meant to convey to you. because you can focus right in on the relevant part#(which in this case is the le instead of l') with fewer red herrings#when i first saw this example sentence i thought it was just showing how the adjective onzième can be used as a noun#which is a not-infrequent purpose of example sentences in this dico#but because i was scrutinizing the entry for clues as to the lack of elision i noticed it#it's fascinating because i didn't realize this about onze until a couple years ago#and when i asked my french teacher (who is french) about it she had no clue what i was talking about#even though she personally never made elision with these words either#she didn't realize it was an exception or anything that would have to be told to L2 learners. it was completely natural to her#trying to remember now if she had the same reaction with huit cuz i knew i brought that up too#cuz to me they're functionally the same...you don't make elision or liaison with either of them#but everybody talks about aspirated hs and i don't even know if there's a word for what's going on with onze#or any other words in that same category of start-with-vowel-but-no-elision-or-liaison (there must be? but i can't think of any)
