لقد بدأت تعلم العربية بالفصحى أيضًا

لكن من المهم جدا أن تدرس اللهجات أيضا

[solid geode]

لا، كما قلت في الرسالة السابقة أنا برازيلي لكنني أتكلم العربية

[solid geode]

أعتقد أن كلمات العامية هن أصعب بكثير لأن ليس لديهن منطق في عدة مرات

[slim bobcat]

novruz is a zoroastrian custom

not cultural

[gusty sail]

bro

[slim bobcat]

playing with your soyjaks chuddie

[slim bobcat]

its literally a religious custom

[main spire]

yes

[gusty sail]

that's beyond doubt

[real ice]

Not for 100% for us

[real ice]

It's cultural for us

We celebrate the springs arrival

It's also related to Ergenekon legend

Of turkic nations

[slim bobcat]

yeah a mythological legend

[real ice]

Eh

[slim bobcat]

but its also related to persians

[real ice]

Think how you want

[slim bobcat]

which is the main birthplace of zoroastrianism

[gusty sail]

mixed region

[real ice]

I have my own opinions

[slim bobcat]

we are just debating

some people call it only turkish and refute others and vice versa

[real ice]

I believe it's to be a Turkic holiday too

Not only Persian

Even tho the name is originally Persian

And in Azerbaijan we celebrate it differently, we have way more traditions

For this holiday

Even before it's official day

We start celebrations

[slim bobcat]

in turkey its only in the kurdish populated areas that have celebrations for nowruz

in the west theres not much

i dont think its a national holiday here

[real ice]

I know

You don't celebrate it

And it's fine

But for us

It's a great festival

[main spire]

i think this suffices as an explanation

[real ice]

Whatever, for us it has no religious meaning, only related to the nature

[proper wind]

kazakhs got 5 days off this year due to nauryz

whyd we stop calling iranians persians

[drowsy plinth]

Hey

[real ice]

Because there are many other ethnicities living in Iran and not all of them are Persian

For example, there are 30-40 millions of Azerbaijani people

[viral magnet]

is there a map with absolute numbers

[viral magnet]

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Qashqai

[viral magnet]

the date of easter varies

western and eastern churches have different calenders for one (western gregorian, eastern julian) and the exact date is the first full moon after spring time

but even then in both calendars it should be april this year

[real ice]

In nrw

[viral magnet]

western 5th, eastern 12th

[real ice]

When

[viral magnet]

germany is western church, so 5th

[real ice]

So

Whyyy

Do they gift

[viral magnet]

but maybe they did this because they weren’t sure they were gonna see you at easter

[real ice]

Chocolate in for of

Bunny

Already

[viral magnet]

no clue

but the easter bunny is not necessarily christian

so the exact date of easter is not that relevant to it

[knotty ravine]

yessss

[viral magnet]

nice =)

glad you liked it

[inland surge]

yüzük

[gusty sail]

yep, and the initial sound's being this

[inland surge]

something interesting

on the bus i saw an advertisement car

with a bisycle picture

it said

tekerj

i thought to myself that looks like teker which means wheel in turkish

and turns out tekerni means to pedal

[gusty sail]

I was gonna learn numbers in this language and what I see first: szám

[inland surge]

where are you from

[gusty sail]

Kazakhstan

[inland surge]

jaksy

is szám more noticable in kazakh?

even though the stem is the same

its sayı in turkish

maybe a closer word is "sayım"

counting

as a noun

[gusty sail]

san means number

[gusty sail]

we have sayın, which means "each"

Chuvash uses it for forming plural

[inland surge]

sayın is turkish is used before names in turkish

it means mister

honorable referring

[gusty sail]

maybe in Turkish the Proto-Turkic word *sāyïn has been evolved differently

[gusty sail]

can't recall of something like that in Kazakh

only of a name - Құсайын

[inland surge]

well my resources claim its from a mongolic language

and that its a doublet of "sağ" which means well

[gusty sail]

According to Poppe, Proto-Mongolic *sayïn (“good”) is from an earlier form *sagï̄n and related to this Turkic stem. However, a derivation from Proto-Turkic *sā- (“to know, count”) has also been proposed for Mongolic.

this?

[inland surge]

ig yeah

but personally I wouldve wagered that its related to *sā-

cuz

in turkish say- also has the connatation of respect

e.g saygı = respect

[gusty sail]

a semantic shift?

[inland surge]

i guess

its like

to consider, to count, to know, to recognize, to respect

[gusty sail]

санау "sanaw" also can mean these in Kazakh

[inland surge]

actually i just remembered this verb

we have sanmak too

that means to think (typically in a mislead way)

from Proto-Turkic *sā-n-mak (“to be counted, be regarded”), originally passive/reflexive of *sā-mak (“to think, count, regard”).

[gusty sail]

there's szán in Hungarian

not in the meaning sleigh, cutter (from a Slavic language btw)

[inland surge]

very interesting

i can see the semantic shift

when you want to do something, you keep thinking about it

[gusty sail]

I mean this szán (take a look on it on wiktionary)

[inland surge]

yeah thats what i referred to as well

[gusty sail]

ház <-> estonian kodu

idő also from a Turkic lang

[inland surge]

estonian kodu?

wdym

[gusty sail]

tis a cognate to this Estonian word

[inland surge]

oh

yeah

h in hungarian corresponds to k in other finno ugric

[gusty sail]

damn

[inland surge]

thats very interesting

[gusty sail]

Estonian säinas <-> Hungarian... őn ("asp, Aspius aspius")

not sure if this is real

[inland surge]

it can very well be

finno ugric initial s

shows this shift towards hungarian

s > h > ø

[gusty sail]

I mean, have you heard or seen this word in Hungarian?

[inland surge]

nope

im not hungarian

[gusty sail]

I noticed that too

Jsuppose si

[viral magnet]

think of it like a lottery ticket or the kind of tickets you buy to ride a rollercoaster

small purchase for an impromptu one-off thing

really, subway or bus tickets aren’t so much different from tickets for a carousel

[undone hemlock]

the bus/tube vs plane/train distinction works too

bus/tube only get you around the city

its a small investment

[viral magnet]

yeah and it’s usually a thing you don’t plan ahead for

[undone hemlock]

a train/plane ticket thats gonna get you between cities or even countries

[viral magnet]

i.e. an impromptu thing

while a flight is a whole thing

[viral magnet]

exactly

it’s more of a fee or fare for a spontaneous service as opposed to a planned undertaking which by buying a billet you’re a part of

[undone hemlock]

thats a really fun distinction though lol

at least in theory in practice it might come to bite me in the ass when I say the wrong word in the wrong context

[viral magnet]

it must be rooted in older customs

[viral magnet]

wouldn’t stress too much, the context makes it very clear what you mean in any case

though it’s a graspable concept

not too wild

not sure about the exceptions

if any

but it makes a lot of sense in my head

in german there is the word „Los“ which is in effect just a ticket but it’s used for really small things

not even subway or bus

mostly used for attractions on fun fairs or a try at a raffle

(a raffle being called Verlosung)

but the verb einlösen (which comes from Los) means to use up or trade in a ticket

[undone hemlock]

I know that as das Rubellos

[viral magnet]

or a gift card

Rubbellos yeah

[undone hemlock]

oh its two Bs? dammit

[viral magnet]

that really is also just a raffle ticket

[viral magnet]

ye, short u

Rubel is a russian (or i guess belarusian) ruble

[undone hemlock]

this word is also shared with polish

a raffle ticket is los

[viral magnet]

hah!

[undone hemlock]

Los is also fate

[viral magnet]

ohhhh in german it can be that in certain constructions too

the euphemistic idiom „das große Los gezogen haben“ means to have been dealt the worst possible outcome

[undone hemlock]

so a funny coincidence that a random game ticket where you can win so much money that your fate is altered is called like that

[viral magnet]

or generally a bad outcome

[undone hemlock]

[viral magnet]

i think it isn’t so much about scratch tickets though as more like… you know when a group can’t decide on who does what and so one hold paper various strips of differing sizes in his fist and the others are to pick one?

naturally, the longest one would be the best one, and that’s the irony in this idiom

sarcasm basically

[undone hemlock]

I think there was a short story like that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lottery

[viral magnet]

[undone hemlock]

draws the only marked slip in the box

yeah here we had marked ones not ones of different sizes

[viral magnet]

a carefree passing with plausible deniability

morbid idea

[viral magnet]

comes down to the same thing

guess it’s easier to rip something into differently sized pieces than marking things

[umbral topaz]

Hallo
Moin
Hello
Salam walicum

(:

[stuck bay]

salam walicum? 🤨

[static sandal]

Which language is the last one?

[stuck bay]

it's supposed to be assalamualaikum/salam alaikum.

i don't know if it's in purpose.

[static sandal]

Maybe assalamuwaalaikum?

Wa means "and" in Arabic I guess

[stuck bay]

yeah. like i said just now.

[static sandal]

You didnt write wa thats why I wanted to write

[solid geode]

Transliteration does not have strict rules

If it is not written in the language's original alphabet then it doesnt matter

[idle mantle]

Quien habla español aprendiendo aleman

[mystic marsh]

could even say "salam 3alaykwm"

3 is used instead of "ع"

[stuck bay]

i thought it matters because it can change a bit of its meaning, no?

[mortal solar]

Hi! I'm 20 years old and I'm from Egypt
I'm looking for people to learn German together and be friends. I'm still a beginner, so it would be great to practice and improve step by step with others

[lucid maple]

hai

[lost marsh]

@orchid crypt was heißt al? etwa "schon"?

w ist oftmals /v/ dann aber auch /w/

was soll das

[crystal kindle]

Afrikaans?

[lost marsh]

ja

wie sagt man das im niederländischen?

@crystal kindle

[crystal kindle]

Hoe lang leer je al Enges

Engels*

@lost marsh

[lost marsh]

oka

what does al mean there

[crystal kindle]

Already

[lost marsh]

nice

[crystal kindle]

It's to show an ongoing action

Doesn't really happen too much in German from what I can tell

[crystal kindle]

When i first saw the picture, i thougth it was Dutch 😭

[lost marsh]

de version, wie lange lernst du schon englisch?

schon - does the same job here

[crystal kindle]

I kinda meant in how it's used

Al shows up a lot vs schon

[lost marsh]

ohka

[lost marsh]

when you listen to afrikaans, do you understand some of it?

[crystal kindle]

Some yeah

[orchid crypt]

al is used to express something that happened in the past that continues into the present

I would actually say the translation is should rather be „how long have you been learning english for“ al I would say correlates more with for than anything because it can imply something began in the past and continues till present

[crystal kindle]

It's kinda hard to translate it exactly because

hoe lang leer je al Engels
and
hoe lang ben je al Engels aan het leren

technically mean the same thing but different nuances

1st being more natural and the 2nd having more emphasis on the action currently still being ongoing

[orchid crypt]

yeah true but it’s still just in general god to understand „al“ and how it’s used to express a state of time „ek leer al drie jaar“ expresses something that’s began in the past but it’s still talked about present as in its still currently ongoing

[crystal kindle]

Yeah no argument from me

It's kinda something we don't really have and or use much in English as it's pretty unnatural

[orchid crypt]

yeah exactly it’s kinda untranslatable

[crystal kindle]

Yeah exactly

Same as gezellig

[lost marsh]

very

interesting

it's stuff like this i live for

[orchid crypt]

yay

languages are very fun

[crystal kindle]

Wait until you find out about ''zitten'' and ''staan''

That's when the real fun happens

[crystal kindle]

Very

[orchid crypt]

how long have you been learning dutch for btw

[lost marsh]

lukes a native

[orchid crypt]

ohhhh

[crystal kindle]

No

Lmao

[lost marsh]

oh

lol

[orchid crypt]

you willingly learnt dutch

wiw

respect

[crystal kindle]

I did an intensive 6 month learning couse ☠️

[crystal kindle]

Ty

[orchid crypt]

fun

[lost marsh]

why 💀

why not german

[crystal kindle]

Wanted to learn another language

[orchid crypt]

I’ve been learning afrikaans since the 6th grade 🤙

[crystal kindle]

German seemed hard

Why though

[orchid crypt]

my school didn’t offer zulu

[crystal kindle]

Tough

[orchid crypt]

I had actually begun learning zulu but then i transferred schools and the only option was afrikaans

but afrikaans ended up easier anyways cuz my moms side of the family speaks it anyways

although they speak a strong cape afrikaans so it’s a bit hard at times for me to keep up

[lost marsh]

what does your dad speak

[crystal kindle]

Still cool honestly

[orchid crypt]

german and english

[lost marsh]

[crystal kindle]

Fire

[lost marsh]

tech you can have heritage speaker role

[crystal kindle]

So which can you speak overall?

[orchid crypt]

im gonna get the proper berliner german experience later today

[orchid crypt]

i don’t feel like it really applies to me tho

[lost marsh]

🍩

[orchid crypt]

i would say english german afrikaans

albeit my afrikaans is definitely my weakest because i hardly use it nowadays

[crystal kindle]

Fairs

[lost marsh]

all germanic

[orchid crypt]

outside of northen cape and bloem most ppl wouldn’t really speak afrikaans anyways in za

[lost marsh]

@crystal kindle do you speak nihongo?

[crystal kindle]

A bit yeah

[orchid crypt]

capetown if ur in the cape flat areas is probably where you can expect the most afrikaan but then it’s cape afrikaans so gl ig

[orchid crypt]

[gusty sail]

does it mean you speak Zulu?

[orchid crypt]

nö

[crystal kindle]

What about Xhosa

[orchid crypt]

i'd love to learn it though

nope

[crystal kindle]

Surely pretty hard

[lost marsh]

das crazy

[orchid crypt]

yeah they’re tonal languages

with clicks

i remember the clicks well but it’s very basic my knowledge

[crystal kindle]

Really?

[lost marsh]

yea japanese isn't easy

[crystal kindle]

Ggs

[crystal kindle]

defo the hardest i've tried

[orchid crypt]

tonal languages are just a completely different ball game

but learning zulu would make learning xhosa easier

[crystal kindle]

checks out

[orchid crypt]

and i actually know a good amount of native zulu speakers so whenever im back in za i will definitely go at it for zulu

now im busy oiling up my afrikaans again for summe

hi mia

[crystal kindle]

sounds fun

[lapis heath]

hi tech

[orchid crypt]

it’s honestly quite fun especially after being so immersed in german

noticing the similarities between words makes me laugh always

my favourite example is always vroeg and früh

[crystal kindle]

genuinely my experience with learning german

[orchid crypt]

hell yeah

another banger is eenvoudig and einfach

[crystal kindle]

🔥

[orchid crypt]

does dutch have any strong dialects idk anything about it besides i can understand way too much

[crystal kindle]

generally more difficult the more north it is

so the Groningen accent is tough

[orchid crypt]

interesting

[crystal kindle]

Belgian accents are easier to understand

[orchid crypt]

i think afrikaans is like 99% in za

i can see the language going extinct aswell

actually maybe not because the cape community is still strong but standard afrikaans‘s future looks rather eh

[crystal kindle]

yikes

Should I learn Russian or Ukrainian?

[solid geode]

Russian is based asf

[south light]

Russian because it’s used more widely

At least where I’m from

Il y a toujours un patient russophone dans notre hôpital

Mais pas de francophones mdr

[sand galleon]

Russian

Ukrainian content isn't even made in Ukrainian

[hard igloo]

Would Ukrainians be offended though?

[sand galleon]

By you learning Russian?

Lmao

[hard igloo]

I want to learn a Slavic language and Russian is the most understood.

But I want to learn Ukrainian because i'm interested in Pripyat and the culture and tbh, i think i like Ukraine a bit more. I mean Russian has all the music and art, but Ukraine has the food. And I love food. lol

OOOOOOOO Czech.

no one would be able to understand me then lol\

Ich möchte in Tübingen leben......

[south light]

Just learn a language you personally find interest in

It makes no sense to base your intention off of mere outsider opinion

[lapis heath]

toi

[lapis heath]

depends

i mean a lot of ukrainians speak russian anyway and it's a more common language, but ukrainian is also great

[south light]

Ukraine has music and art too

It's not just carol of the bells

[tiny vine]

Unfortunately, Ukrainian culture has always had to develop in difficult conditions, but it was developing indeed

One just has to dig a little deeper

[tiny vine]

Very difficult actually

Starting from like 18th century and up until Ukraine got independence

So basically 300 years of bad conditions

@orchid crypt ek ken net 'n paar woorde afrikaans

some of these falsefriend type words tripping me up

[topaz linden]

ich habe Kollegen aus Belgien. einmal hat einer von denen mir auf niederländisch geschrieben

ich habe komischerweise alles verstanden

ohne übersetzen zu müssen

[orchid crypt]

there’s lots 😌

[lost marsh]

tech is lekker

[orchid crypt]

[lost marsh]

what does van mean

"i like from travel"

[orchid crypt]

uhhh it the preposition for like

ek hou van slaap

idk if there’s a better description for it i just know it as that

[lost marsh]

ek hou van gaan

i like to go

[orchid crypt]

sounds more like, you like going

[lost marsh]

what is happening here gramatically

[orchid crypt]

if you wanted to say you like to go i would say, „ek hou daarvan om te gaan

[orchid crypt]

infinitive

remember stompi

this is the i

om…te

[lost marsh]

om te

hmm

wait i have a simpler one

break down the structure for this pls

why na musiek?

[orchid crypt]

because of luister

[lost marsh]

its the preposition fo luister?

ek luister na musiek?

[orchid crypt]

yeah

[lost marsh]

makes sense

daarvan om... te...

how does that work

[orchid crypt]

it only gets daar, when you have the infinitive

because the infinitive is like a new thingy

so it connects it to the new segment

like da in german

[lost marsh]

ich mag musikhören - ek hou van na musiek luister?
ich mag es musik zu hören - ek hou\ daarvan om na musiek te luister?

[orchid crypt]

mir gefällt daran, musik zuzuhören

[lost marsh]

oh

[orchid crypt]

cuz of zu

zu and om..te play the some role

[lost marsh]

hou is like gefallen?

[orchid crypt]

uhhhh

yeah

it’s more like that

I personally use it like, ek hou van for more tangible things so like people and objects

but be careful when say ek hou van jou because some people do interpret it as a more serious thing

i’ve been told before that in netherlands it’s a serious step saying that to someone however i cannot confirm the validity

@crystal kindle

get over here

[crystal kindle]

what's up?

[lost marsh]

why no van there

ek hou van jou

[orchid crypt]

oh i forgot

💀

[crystal kindle]

i imagine it would be

i would honestly say it as

ik vind je leuk = i like you
ik hou van jou = i love you

[orchid crypt]

do yall also,
ek het lief vir jou

[crystal kindle]

another thing, depending on person, prima can mean either good or great

[lost marsh]

funny

[crystal kindle]

what's the meaning in English?

[orchid crypt]

well it’s like ich hab dich lieb

i have love for you would be the direct translation

[crystal kindle]

ah

nah it's usually pretty much ik hou van jou

[orchid crypt]

my friend group would always say we love each other normally so idk what the social norms are for that

[crystal kindle]

double negatives are so weird to me 😭

[lost marsh]

me rn

[orchid crypt]

double negative is my goat

i think it just sounds so good

[crystal kindle]

so you're learning Afrikaans?

[lost marsh]

no

[orchid crypt]

they also drilled this into us 😭 i remember the worksheets we used to get for negatives

[lost marsh]

im just doing a side quest

[crystal kindle]

oh okay

[crystal kindle]

😭

[orchid crypt]

as in ur just bored rn?

[crystal kindle]

om te is much easier imo

[lost marsh]

not fully commited, just learning it for fun

[orchid crypt]

I could probably ask my mom for some she literally teaches people afrikaans

[lost marsh]

your mom also a onderwyser

[orchid crypt]

yup

[crystal kindle]

pretty much if you wanna do anything, it's om te @lost marsh

[orchid crypt]

my mom is an amazing teacher also she’s always getting booked to be a tutor for people

[lost marsh]

onderwys - to teach?

[orchid crypt]

she has this one student who pays a year in advance for her

[crystal kindle]

ik denk dat het een goed idee is om Engels te leren
ich denke, dass es eine gute Idee ist Englisch zu lernen

[crystal kindle]

wtf

[lost marsh]

in german it's idee too

ahnung doesn't work there

[crystal kindle]

ah right

but my point kinda stands regardless

[lost marsh]

tbh though\

the grammar fascinates me now

[orchid crypt]

yeah and sometimes to instruct ig

[lost marsh]

i wanna understand

[crystal kindle]

it's quite similar

but there are differences for sure

ich bin auf B2 Niveau
ik zit op B2 Niveau

[orchid crypt]

dutch sucks so no need to (no offence)

[crystal kindle]

etc

[lost marsh]

yea it's germany alright

[crystal kindle]

how i feel about Afrikaans

[orchid crypt]

nu uh

[lost marsh]

german better >>

[orchid crypt]

funny thing is we understand each other most of the time

[crystal kindle]

I wouldn't recommend learning Dutch

[lost marsh]

the germanic language wars

[crystal kindle]

the grammar is very strict

[lost marsh]

what does that mean?

[orchid crypt]

I think german grammer, afrikaans pronounciation

[crystal kindle]

the grammar?

[lost marsh]

how is the grammar strict?
