Unua Libro, the first publication to describe Esperanto, published on this day in Russian in 1887

First published on July 26 1887, Unua Libro is the first book in which Zamenhof introduced and described the constructed language Esperanto, then-called the international language, and its publication marks the formal beginning of the Esperanto movement.

Zamenhof reproduced a significant portion of the content of Unua Libro in Fundamento de Esperanto in 1905, which he established as the only obligatory authority over Esperanto in the Declaration of Boulogne, ratified by the first World Esperanto Congress later that year. However, in 1888, he established a minor change to the language, rendering the Esperanto of Unua Libro slightly outdated.

I’ve never made Esperanto the main language that I study but once in a while I will wake up in a cold sweat and take a break from studying Spanish to spend three feverish days in a row buried in Esperanto and then immediately go back to Spanish the next day and immediately forget everything that I just learned.

Why do I do this? I can only suspect that some weird Esperanto curse or demon was attached to me at some point but it’s a really bad procrastinator and gets all of its Esperanto related time wasting out of me three days before the deadline.

thoughts on the differences between Vasaaq, Sav’saaba and Sav’otta??

So, in the Gerudo language, "vasaaq" means "welcome," "sav'saaba" means "good evening," and "sav'otta" means "good morning."

To properly dissect these, we need to look at a couple other words. Namely:

sav'aaq | "hello"

sav'orr | "good night"

sav'orq | "goodbye"

The prefix "sav-" indicates good intentions; it means you're wishing someone well as you greet them. In that sense, the "vas-" prefix is informal, meaning you'd use that one with strangers you're not quite on good terms with yet.

Hence, why it's used in shops.

Now, the "-aaq" suffix means "hello," since it's both in "sav'aaq" and "vasaaq"

So, putting it literally

"Vasaaq!" | "Hello, stranger!"

"Sav'aaq!" | "Hello, I hope you're doing well!"

As for the others, "-saaba" and "-otta" are Gerudo words for the time of day, with "-sabaa" being sundown and "-otta" being sunrise.

"Sav'saaba!" | "I hope your sundown is pleasant!"

"Sav'otta!" | "I hope your sunrise is pleasant!"

Then "-orr" and "-orq" are both different forms of the same word. While we see "Sav'orr" to mean "good night," "-orr" doesn't mean "night;" Gerudo actually don't have a word for night and day, things are simply "after sundown" and "after sunrise."

Instead, "-orr" means a short departure, while "-orq" is a long one.

"Sav'orr!" | "I hope you're well, I'll see you around!"

"Sav'orq!" | "I hope you're well, I hope we meet again!"

So you'd tell a stranger "vasorr" if, say, they're running out to get milk, and "vasorq" if they're going on vacation.

Hope this helps!

From our understanding, that’s not the same user, so please don’t report or send messages to @/academique-wilde! We anticipate Fá creating a new Tumblr, but it’ll have a completely different username.

DO NOT INTERACT WITH @/ACADEMIQUEWILDE

Also known as Fá or Fatih. A Turkish self-proclaiming asexual from the Netherlands who used to run the study discord “Montuosa Academia”. 

[CW: sexual abuse, predatory behavior, use of guilt-tripping to force consent, unusual kinks]

This user has been sexually messaging users in order to exchange payment for pictures of shoes and socks, or just pictures of your feet. If you say no, he continues with coercive attempts to force a ‘yes’. He knowingly interacts and requests these pictures from people below the age of 18, and becomes extremely sexually specific on what exactly he would be doing when viewing these pictures. Part of this kink is wanting to be “exposed” (on his terms) and degraded, so not having consent seems to be exactly what he wants. He has also expressed anti-Semitic rhetoric, frequent love-bombing between bouts of toxic behavior, and deleted his server Montuosa Academia because nobody replied to an attention-seeking apology for 30 minutes. We encourage you to block this individual and reblog this post in order to spread awareness. 

More is documented here (with screenshots): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Onh1PHGFIVssFL3eA6qH_E_L2HxtdJovEQ_mGwU0gGI/edit?usp=sharing

This is not just “tumblr drama”, he has met with several people IRL and has been attempting to meet with even more. According to him, he even admits that people in real life find him uncomfortable to be around. He is a genuine sexual predator and I would suggest not interacting with him. 

If you want more information or you would life to get in contact with old members from Montuosa Academia, please message either seosaimhín#5056 or ladyassassin#7787 on Discord, or message this Tumblr. Stay safe guys.

PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT OR ENGAGE IN WITCH-HUNTING WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL. WE ARE SHARING THE INFORMATION SO HE CAN’T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HARASS MORE PEOPLE, BUT WE URGE YOU TO JUST BLOCK AND MOVE ON.

Hey I just wanted to let you know that if you enable discord's developer mode (settings > advanced > developer mode) you can right click a username and get their internal id, which does not change, even if they change their username or id number with nitro. It might be useful with the Fa situation going on to have an unchanging way of tracking him on discord.

Thank you so much! We’ll do that right now 🤍
