cutsceneificiation
sometimes i’m like ughh i don’t even like languages or philology or anything. but today in russian class we were studying how words are made and i was just hit with uber autism. i was just sitting there and i realized: words. oh my god words. Arent they fucked crazy. isn’t it crazy how there are SO many ways to take apart words and then make up new ones with those parts!! just like what you did!!! cutscenefication is a combo of cutscene + the suffix -fication which signifies. uhmm. well it signifies Some Sort Of Process happening. i am being cutscenified right now. BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! because you see cutscene is also a combo of the words cut and scene. isn’t language just crazy forreal. i like looking at words and seeing all the similarities and differences between them. i like looking at words and figuring out how they came to be and from which other words they might’ve developed. etymology is cool asf because every word on planet earth has such a rich history and different meanings in different regions and time periods and you can see where it was used the most and the least and how important it might’ve been to people at a given time. synonyms blow my entire mind. Can you believe bamboozled is even a real thing people say
#do not let the philological mf speak and say sentences he will just analyze every word ever#cramswering#still don’t know what the hell i want from life or who i want to be but when i was sitting in that class during that moment i thought#maybe i want to study words. and u know what ? maybe i do. it’s kind of boring but sometimes the autism hits just right#j can’t believe words are real dude. i can’t believe language exists#i canmt believe there are so many people who experience the phenomenon of speaking several different languages and having an easier time#expressing their feelings in any language that isn’t their native one. but thatms a cutscene for another time#Btw i don’t do these super often anymore because rambling requires i actually Think and not just keysmash for 2 minutes straight#and lately i do not have the energy. but today something has happened to me several times#ok. gootnight tristate area
