1. Dudes, did you hear that? He told me to fuck off when I say nicely.
2. Yeah, I heard. He is looking down on you. haha
3. So you could kill me, but you're pretending not to know because I'm worse than lower animals?
4. You fucking bastard go crazy to die !!

It is hard to translate due to some slang and swear words.

[autumn moth]

Ahh ty ty ty ty

[open ice]

My interpretation is a bit different. From what I understand, the third line should be:
So you say you could kill me but I don't see it because I'm less than animals?

The speaker is saying that the other person thinks of him(speaker) as less than animals and so they don't even know the fact that the person(X speaker) can kill the speaker. I guess it would really depend on the context? The text is worded weirdly...

[gloomy glacier]

ayo my english is dogshit, does the semicolon make sense here?

This snippet is used at the beginning of the song in the lyrics
“Skin is, skin, is
Skin black, my skin is black
My, black, my skin is yellow”
which sets up the main idea of the song; race.

Hi I signed up for the iETLS exam level B2 in

1 month, do you guys have any idea for me to improve my english effectively ?

[open cedar]

If you want some IELTS excercises, I recommend the one which is published by cambridge, the blue&black cover one. I think its content is quite similar with the original IELTS exam

yea I found it. (Although I didnt finish the whole book before I take IELTS :P

Hi everyone, can someone please help me with my homework?
It's about english, but idk if I wrong or the page is wrong
https://es.liveworksheets.com/worksheets/en/English_as_a_Second_Language_(ESL)/Grammar/Apostrophe_'s_and_contractions_xe8493xs

[solar solstice]

Hallo from Germany everyone! 😊

My situation:
I’ve been studying Japanese for two semesters, but sadly the course for this semester was full.
This means that I will have to self study on my own if I want to continue.
Yet I am worried about my motivation.

My plan:
Is there anyone who is also studying Japanese and would be open to meeting up once a week and quiz each other on vocabulary?

Extra information:
Oh one more thing: I can read Hiragana and Katakana, but I would not be able to help you with Kanji.

[atomic topaz]

U need help in a specific number or u need the whole thing? Maybe i can help im not native but i consider myself fluent

[drowsy swan]

I only need help in the section of apostrophe s

U don't need to be a native, I'm 90% sure that the page is wrong, the thing I want is that you confirm my theory

[atomic topaz]

well u are right, i just tried to answer and it gave me 0/100 and im pretty sure that i have most of them right

Anyway these were my answers in case it helps you

im not sure of the possession ones if im being honest tho but i think that is how it is

[drowsy swan]

Nono

After of that section

In the section of sentences

[atomic topaz]

i can do those but it is gonna say it is wrong as well no matter what i write for what i am seeing

[drowsy swan]

Below there is a button

For confirm your answers

[atomic topaz]

well i did it in my notes

this is how i would do it tho

[drowsy swan]

Yes

[drowsy swan]

I do the same bro

And the page say that I wrong

So the page is wrong

[atomic topaz]

I think the page is wrong so don't worry

[drowsy swan]

Thanks a lot

[atomic topaz]

no problem : )

[solemn forge]

is there anyone here who is learning multiple languages at the same time??

[toxic tendon]

yes

[solemn forge]

can you give me any tips? for example, what is your routine or how do u organize everything and so on

[toxic tendon]

tbh, i dont really have a special routine. usually i just keep the study process of them seperated (mornings are for one of them, the evenings are for the other). first of all, i make one of them a priority (the one that i know the worst) and spend more time on it. then, i just split the days between the rest

[maiden wolf]

Maybe check out a youtuber called Lindie Botes who has a lot of content on language learning and multiple languages at the same time ; but spoiler alert it involves organisation and planning, (and not having goals so ambitious that you can't reach them and ultimately give up because you could'nt match such high expectations). It also means assessing what your level is in each languages and how close they are to each other :if you learn roman languages like french and italian at the same time, it might be easy on some part since these languages can be similar but tricky to differenciate and isolate each language with it's own particularities, grammar points and culture.

[hard cedar]

im studying 3 languages in school
fortunately we speak all of them at home

[hard cedar]

1. consider ""straight long black hair""
2. oversized
3. clothes cannot be slim..try using something else..
4. as i used to be (ending)

[wintry oyster]

[velvet fox]

can anyone help how do i say "Families wanting to live in the countryside" in spanish with the correct verb

[rigid lark]

Someone who speaks spanish ?

[velvet fox]

yes

[lethal fog]

to want is querer and wanting will be estar + queriendo

to live is vivir, it will be used as an infinitive

im not sure if its the correct one or not

las familias estan queriendo vivir en el campo

[hexed parcel]

How do you describe flowers in a public garden using one of the descriptive devices? doesn't have to be too long but I don't really have any idea

[hard cedar]

hi

I want to improve my English grammar

Idk how to use (is-are)

EX: I said yesterday(If there is ads in the website) and that was wrong

What am I supposed to study in the grammar

[calm plume]

ok so for something like “there are ads” (a subject complement if you like specific terms lol), you look at the noun after “this [be verb]”. if it is plural (like the word ads), use “are”. if it is singular, use “is”

[hard cedar]

thanks 💀

[velvet fox]

thank you

[hard cedar]

what about when I want to ask or this change the rules
EX: are (you) okay?

ohhhh

nvm Ill do my searches thanks

[spark path]

heyyy so i need some spanish help because google is explaining this terribly:

does nuestr@ relate to the person that is possessing the the 'thing' or relating to the thing?

[hard cedar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8FACVD9vz4

Idk if that was helpful but I got this vedio but not watching it

I don't speak spanish

[spark path]

e.g: if 'our' relates to two women would it be nuestra? or does it depend on the thing that they possess?

[spark path]

lmao

[calm plume]

it depends on the people you are referring to with the word “our”. so the first one lol

[spark path]

so if it was two women, but you were referring to un perro, for example, it would still be "nuestra perro"?

[calm plume]

yup

[lethal fog]

'is' is used when the subject is singular (eg: he is here)
'are' is used when the subject is plural (eg: we are here)

[lethal fog]

depends on the person who is saying those lines, if the grp has 1 man and 2 women, it'll be nuestro instead of nuestra
feminine words r used only when all of em r women

[hard epoch]

Hello I need help with a short text in English, I wanted to know if it is well written

[safe shell]

hii i think i can help you with this

[hard cedar]

yes please

[river comet]

native here, your exapmle should be "nuestro perro". "Nuestra" should be if the dog was female (perra). So yeah, it applies to the gender of the object, not the individual

sorry if it's a little late ^^

Just ask your question, and somebody will most likely read it and answer. If not, that means nobody's able to help you. That's it

[silent palm]

Anyone know the differneces between the kanji 者 and 身

For japanese

[paper epoch]

者 means person (in relation to status/type of person)
e.g. 翻訳者　(translator), 医者　(doctor), 若者　(young person)

身 means person (position)
e.g. 出身 (persons origin), 身長　(persons height/stature), 身上　(a persons background)

you can tell the differences if you look at the meaning of the specific kanji and look up a bunch of vocabulary the kanji is in. hope that helps :)

Hi everyone can someone tell me what is the difference between (bend) and (bent) please?

[undone violet]

Well, I'm native Russian speaker, but resources... I don't know... but you can read (if you not yet) «Fluent in 3 months» by Benny Lewis. This book is suitable for every language. And Duolingo of course

[hard cedar]

Okaaayy thanks for ur help

[undone violet]

Using a language is the best way to learn it anyway, so... Just try to watch some videos, movies, read newspapers, books etc. It is the language environment that is important here.

But this still requires minimal grammar, so start with it: verb tenses, declension...

If you want I can try to messaging with you in Russian (or in my poor English 😃 )

And I am very interested in the reason why you decided to learn Russian

:)

[hard cedar]

Actually I asked for my friends cuz he doesn't have a discord's account and he doesn't know where can he learn Russian

[undone violet]

Okay, understood

But my offer is still valid even for your friend))

Well, i need to go to bed now. So goodbye, have a great morning/day/evening/night

Hi !
(To) bend is the verb (it's irregular)
Bent is the past participle and the past simple of "bend"

[hard cedar]

Hi thanks

[zinc cedar]

Bent can be used as an adjective too i think

Bent ruler

[undone violet]

хеллоу хаха

[lethal fog]

bend is a verb and bent is an adjective

[quasi valve]

Sorry this is a little late, but if you want an explanation but when you're using those 3 just try and think of "much" as being many or several, like "many thanks" for "muchos gracias" and "muy" as being "very". Muchos being to a high degree numerically and Muy being to a high degree conceptually like "very good"

Dunz know if phrased that well but yea, that's what helped me through Spanish

[violet bronze]

Muy

[fierce badge]

hello

can me help

[bronze meteor]

Muchas gracias*

[quasi valve]

I don't take Spanish anymore so I don't keep up with studying it much, I knew the part I said enough to get a good grade but I never understood when to use muchos vs muchas

Could you explain the difference for usage in that case?

(I only studied up to American high school Spanish II so my knowledge is not very in depth)

[bronze meteor]

muchos is masculine and muchas is feminine, about how to know the gender of a word, ending with 'o' usually refers to masculine and words ending with 'a' to feminine, although there are quite a lot of exceptions

[quasi valve]

Oh okay, so Gracia is the base term for thanks that makes Gracias, so the feminine term is used

Thank you

Anyone here preparing for HSK?

[hard cedar]

instead of ""execute""
change is to ""make""

[hard cedar]

read read read

[lethal fog]

Can someone plz check my answers

[atomic topaz]

isnt it pidieron in b?

ellos me pidieron creo pero no se

also in the last one idk i would write tenia instead of tuvo but i might be wrong dnt have spanish classes for 3 years now

@lethal fog

[lethal fog]

ohkk cool

thx @atomic topaz

[atomic topaz]

np, if u do put tenia instead then i think u also need to change the previous verb tense tho eran muy jovenes los dos cause if u put fueron its like saying they have been young and it dsnt sound good. I truly hope im not inducing u in error, if any spanish native can confirm what i just said i would appreciate it

i mean the fueron depends how u interpretate it i think

[cinder mango]

Good idea.

[tawny sedge]

Assuming that you need the ones marked with a circle,
b) ... me pidieron un préstamo...
k) ...ustedes montaron en caballo?
l) ... hermana tuvo un niño hace poco

[atomic topaz]

sorry to bother but assuming ur fluent in spanish can u confirm whether is right what i said in my last message above please?

[tawny sedge]

it is correct, using "tuvo" doesnt sound good to me, idk the reason behind it, like, the explanation/concept behind it, but "tenía" is the right one

[atomic topaz]

alright thanks thats also what i though but was afraid of inducing in error

[tawny sedge]

the i) for SaKa when she reads it

[bronze meteor]

me

@lethal fog @atomic topaz @tawny sedge In Spanish we never use "tuvo X años", always "tenía X años" when describing an past situation, this is because the past perfect simple is ONLY for finished actions in the past

but please, be careful because you can find "la mujer tuvo 20 años de mala suerte" which is a completely different structure that is finished "tener + something"

[atomic topaz]

alright thanks ah maybe kinda dumb question but havent studied in spanish in three years which one is the past perfect simple tuvo o tenia?

[bronze meteor]

past perfect simple is tuvo, and past imperfect simple is tenía

[atomic topaz]

muchas gracias : )

[balmy bobcat]

hey does anyone know french

i am stuck on something

how do you say "the organisers should make more effort..." in the conditional tense of devoir

[maiden wolf]

"Les organisateurs devraient faire plus d'efforts"

if it's conditional present

"Les organisateurs auraient dû faire plus d'efforts" for past conditional

(there's another form of the past conditional but it's not very used so i don't think it's necessary here)

[balmy bobcat]

Thanks I think I got it

[lethal fog]

Ohkk thx

[lethal fog]

hey @bronze meteor sorry to disturb you but could you confirm my answers? (FYI: This is a PYQ)

a) nacio
b) eran
c) era
d) aprendio
e) sono

[bronze meteor]

a) nació
b) eran
c) --- (empty) "hablaba" is correct
d) aprendió
e) soñaba

[lethal fog]

why would e) be imperfect?

[bronze meteor]

because a dream about your future is something you have during your life, so it's not over yet

[lethal fog]

oh okay, gracias!

Hi

i need help with an poll for my english class

[nova cipher]

can anyone vet my essay paragraph ^^;

Our current lifestyles are environmentally unsustainable. How far is this true?

Our perpetual desire for convenience in life causes us to adopt some environmentally-unfriendly habits that can worsen air quality for now and future generations. Due to the fast-paced environment and the bustling economic scene in most developed countries, many city dwellers seek swiftness and effortlessness in life to save their precious time. In addition, humanity’s over-reliance on technology may have made many more lazy and hence favour convenience. Such ways of living can be seen in many commuters’ quotidian modes of transportation as many choose private transportation over the more environmentally green public transportation. According to a Statistical’s Global Consumer Survey in 2019, more than half of Korean commuters chose private vehicles as their commonly used mode of transportation due to less walking time and faster arrival time despite the efficient Korea transport system. Besides our modes of commute, many of our shopping habits such as our thoughtless overuse of plastic bags also exacerbate air pollution. Due to the availability and hassle-free characteristics of plastic bags, many of us neglect using reusable bags and carelessly overconsume plastic bags. However, our selfish actions for the sake of mere convenience can aggravate air pollution as private vehicles such as cars can produce 100g more CO2 per km more than public transport such as buses and the burning of 1kg of plastic bags can emit a staggering 6kg of CO2. As we continue to choose such environment-degrading habits, air quality will be worsened, affecting the livelihood of even the future generations. Due to the adverse health repercussions of air pollution such as causing serious illnesses like bronchitis and pneumonia, air pollution can hinder our day to day actions, making life less enjoyable. Therefore, our current lifestyles are environmentally unsustainable.

Is grammar important for the English lesson or should reading and listening be done?

[hard cedar]

hi does anyone have any tips for cramming for Spanish? I’m taking the clep test soon.

[lethal fog]

yt vids for the grammar topics and solve as many worksheets as you can

[lethal fog]

yea a bit, but reading and listening will help you with the sentence structure
but practicing grammar will only make you better

[rustic dawn]

Language learners talk alot about immersion learning (for japanese) but how are you supposed to read Kanji when the only thing you do is listen to japanese stuff?

Sorry but i'm still confused on how you learn and memorise hiragana's, katakana's and kanji's through immersion

[waxen mortar]

Hi who is learning Russian or would anyone like to help with learning English?

[hybrid ice]

in university we get taught kana in the first two weeks, after that the profs expect us to read it fluently. we learn 20 kanji and their readings in a week and exchange the kana parts with the kanji after awhile. so if we learned in lection 1 that its ''ともだち'' then in lection 2 we learn a new Kanji and replace it like ''友だち'' and so on.
idk how self learners do it though

[normal olive]

many games/apps have a lot of katakana ( maps/character names) which can help a lot
Kanji can be a tough to read as a beginner but if you know what word ( in eng ) comes in that particular place you can simply just search up the kanji fr it

[rustic dawn]

No but I mean I should learn how to read kana and gana before all this

[hybrid ice]

could you please explain what you mean by 'before all this' ? 🥺 do you want to start out with something different besides hiragana and katakana first?

[normal olive]

i learnt hiragana and katakana through duolingo
i read several mangas and articles containing furigana to polish my hiragana and katakana reading

[rustic dawn]

Aight I see thanks for your help ^^

[radiant fractal]

Hi u russian?

[normal olive]

No Problem
All the best n happy learning

[hard cedar]

Not exactly a immersion learner but here is what i do since kanji is too boring to study:
I have a twitter account where i only follow Japanese people with my specific interests
For example for me it is vocaloid/utaite music and art
I basically try to read these peoples tweets and guess the kanji based on the context and then search it up (use kaku app on android a screen dictionary)
By seeing that kanji many times i end up recognizing and then memorizing it
I also learn words and phrases with this
Basically I use dictionary to learn new stuff that are in my interests
School method of learning seems harder to me so yes

Also for hiragana and katakana i recommend you just sit through japanesepod101s alphabet lessons on yt
They give some good examples to remember

[real granite]

[hard cedar]

I'm thinking of freelancing my learning for languages, are there any resouces to help with spanish, french, or japanese?

[foggy oxide]

[foggy oxide]

[primal valve]

could someone explain what does "he is a unit of negative output" means

[meager tundra]

context ?

[foggy oxide]

it seems like a metaphor being used as a way to say he slacks or brings a negative outcome around him?

[primal valve]

description of a time millionaire

[foggy oxide]

[primal valve]

[meager tundra]

[meager tundra]

Quel

[foggy oxide]

ty

[meager tundra]

ok ,lets go

what mean ty ?

[foggy oxide]

what verb means to take?

[meager tundra]

Pendre

[foggy oxide]

thank you = ty

yes I got it

does cent mean 10?

[primal valve]

100

[foggy oxide]

ooh like century

does French have some form of Latin in it?

[meager tundra]

well probably xD (idk)

[primal valve]

well it's one of the evolution of latin i think

[foggy oxide]

cent is a prefix in century meaning 100, cent is a Latin word I think

[maiden wolf]

yes french derived mostly from a spoken form of latin

[foggy oxide]

wow

[primal valve]

parler

[meager tundra]

yes if you say so

yes parler

[maiden wolf]

porkbun you should say which one you think first before asking for people to do your homework...

[foggy oxide]

[maiden wolf]

i studied the evolution of french language hehe

[primal valve]

wooooo

[meager tundra]

I am french

[foggy oxide]

I’ll try next time thanks

[maiden wolf]

me too

[meager tundra]

oh nice

[foggy oxide]

what do they mean when they ask this question?

I think it may be ecoute but

idk what they’re asking

[meager tundra]

écouté

[foggy oxide]

brick do you know anything about Creole

[maiden wolf]

the verb -er is the infinitive; the "passé composé" is a form of the past tense which has two parts

[foggy oxide]

my mother’s side of the family speaks it and it has some French in it, she never taught me creole though

[foggy oxide]

woah thanks

[maiden wolf]

unfortunately no, creole is only part french

[foggy oxide]

That’s actually a really helpful way of explaining it

[foggy oxide]

ah

[primal valve]

first verb is an auxilière "etre" or "avoir" plus the participe passé

[maiden wolf]

there are usually verbs in -er, verbs in -ir, and the 3rd group which is a mashup of every other endings lol

[foggy oxide]

usually I have my mom help me with this but she is out at the moment 😭

oh yes I got 2 more questions

ok now I’m very confused?

[primal valve]

C

[foggy oxide]

The easier questions I got was like about traditional stuff but I don’t understand the grammar in French

[primal valve]

this is passé composé

[maiden wolf]

guys let porkbun think before answering hahah

[foggy oxide]

As well as masculine and feminine nouns?

[primal valve]

sorry...........

[foggy oxide]

no I’m sorry 😭

[primal valve]

it's not the same

these are verbs

[foggy oxide]

verbs and nouns*

[maiden wolf]

so you have to conjugate the verb with the noun

[foggy oxide]

sorry about that

[maiden wolf]

bun bun what is the noun in the sentence

[primal valve]

but it's even more complicated in this tense

[foggy oxide]

in French the noun comes before the verb right?

[maiden wolf]

usuaklly yes

[foggy oxide]

il

[maiden wolf]

ok is it masculine or feminine, is it plural or singular

[foggy oxide]

Masculine

and idk if it’s plural or singular

I keep forgetting the definition of those two words mb

[primal valve]

same as in english

[maiden wolf]

singular is one personn

[foggy oxide]

ok so singular right

[maiden wolf]

plural is multiple

[foggy oxide]

ooh ok

[primal valve]

il is "he"

[maiden wolf]

so the singular 3rd person form doesn't have an <s> with verbs

[foggy oxide]

so the for plural masculine it would be ils?

bruh this is really helpful thanks 😭

[primal valve]

it's not exactly like that

ils is masculine and elles is feminine and they both mean they

[foggy oxide]

and is that mainly for the singular form of the masculine and feminine nouns?

oh I eman plural

[primal valve]

just for il

[maiden wolf]

no plural can have the <s> but it's more complicated than that unfortunately

[foggy oxide]

oh man

[maiden wolf]

plural for "they" usually have an <ent> ending

[foggy oxide]

oh yeah I see that in one of the examples I’m looking at

[primal valve]

but you shoudl learn all the terminaison with the pronouns

[foggy oxide]

“Ils veulent”

[foggy oxide]

the wha huh

[maiden wolf]

yes yes

[primal valve]

idk how to say it in english

[foggy oxide]

118 QUESTIONS ON AN EXAM?!

WHAT WHY

[silver inlet]

the verb ending ahahah

[maiden wolf]

it's a particule of grammar that comes around when you conjugate verbs for some tenses

[primal valve]

thanks

[foggy oxide]

oh ty

[silver inlet]

for instance, je is -e, tu is -es and it goes on

je mange, tu manges, il mange

[foggy oxide]

ooh this reminds me of the time I was studying Japanese particles

[maiden wolf]

but in that way you clearly see it's very close to latin

(french not japanese haha)

[foggy oxide]

I might study Latin later on if I ever stay interested in Catholicism hm

[rich pawn]

French is complicated even for French people

[primal valve]

good luck

[silver inlet]

true

[maiden wolf]

you are going to suffer in Latin if you already struggle with french; good luck buddy

[foggy oxide]

what is an easier way to remember aigu and grave and to not mix it up?

[maiden wolf]

ok so what do you think

[foggy oxide]

thanks 😭

I’m thinking grave?

[silver inlet]

when you say aigu, it makes the sound of the accent (it's like if it'd be égu (DONT WRITE AIGU LIKE THAT))

[foggy oxide]

is aigu for only A’s?

[maiden wolf]

aigu is going up , grave is going down

[foggy oxide]

oh wiat it’s not

[maiden wolf]

just like the sound

[foggy oxide]

ooh ok ok

[silver inlet]

nope

[maiden wolf]

if a sound is "aigu" it's high, if it's "grave" it's low

[foggy oxide]

I only remember circumflex cause the word flex reminds me of 💪

And the accent mark kinds looks like a 💪

[maiden wolf]

this porkbun

[foggy oxide]

ooh

so my answer would be aigu

[maiden wolf]

yup, if it goes up it's aigu

(the sign from left to right)

[silver inlet]

and e is the only vowel that can have an accent aigu

well i never saw á in french lmao

[foggy oxide]

ohh

So I mixed up the two hm

[silver inlet]

BUT there's é and è and they're different

[maiden wolf]

pronounciation is different too

é is more "closed" and è is more vocal

(it has to do with how much you open your mouth to pronounce it)

[foggy oxide]

ooh ok ty

ok so on this one I’m aware she is spelling her name out, but that is the other stuff before it and what does it mean

and if it’s wrong may someone use it in its correct form of a sentence

I believe it’s B??

[maiden wolf]

yes

"dis" is the verb "dire", to say; and "épeler" is the infinitive form of the verb "to spell"

[foggy oxide]

ooh ty

so how come the answer wasnt c if it’s relating to spelling out her name

or maybe it was and I pressed the wrong one

[maiden wolf]

because of the infinitive form, it's better to answer the question with the same verb, which is "s'écrire" and in B it's precisely that

écrire means to write

[foggy oxide]

oh wow just learned about consonants

[maiden wolf]

if C was " épelle" or "épelez" comme ça; it would have been correct too

[foggy oxide]

oh that’s interesting

[maiden wolf]

because it is in the imperative form; but that's a bit too far ig for the moment

[foggy oxide]

for the first time I feel like I’m actually understanding French

Usually I jsut remember stuff without knowing the meaning behind it

[foggy oxide]

like with this question I just remembered it started with a Ç

[maiden wolf]

ye understanding how the language works is wayyy better than just memorizing it

[foggy oxide]

From what I’ve heard it comes from German and Latin

[foggy oxide]

yeah I remember trying to do that with Japanese

and tbh I still only just memorize it

but after this I think I might look back at it

for the first time this is fun

Ça va bien (if I said that right)

[maiden wolf]

latin of course german has had influences with the Frank domination (sorry my wifi is crap)

[foggy oxide]

and when did the happen again

was it around 1060?

[maiden wolf]

spanish and italian are roman languages so they come with Latin influences, and ebglish is way too remote to be considered an influence

[foggy oxide]

yeah cause Greek and Latin are the influences on English

[maiden wolf]

nah it began in the 5th century but there were alot of invasions and multiple "goths" influences in the culture

[foggy oxide]

I have a question and it’s not elaborating on who I’m giving the gesture/greet to. Like if it’s a stranger or someone I’m friends with?

[primal valve]

kiss

[foggy oxide]

ooh

[maiden wolf]

noooo*

[primal valve]

lol

[maiden wolf]

formally is handshake

[primal valve]

bisou bien baveux

[foggy oxide]

you’re lucky I haven’t pressed the answer box hm

[maiden wolf]

if you are friends then its "la bise"

[primal valve]

sorry

[foggy oxide]

I knew it wasn’t hug, I’d feel uncomfortable too if someone hugged me as a greet 😭

[maiden wolf]

covid is a perfect excuse not to get those anymore hehe

[foggy oxide]

😭

[primal valve]

tu fais 2 ou 3 bises ?

[maiden wolf]

someone wants to know the geography heheheh

but if i do, 2 ^^ you?

[primal valve]

2

[foggy oxide]

wha huh

[primal valve]

french people thing

[maiden wolf]

the number of "kisses" depends on the region

[foggy oxide]

WHAT

do you live on the west of France?

[primal valve]

yup

[maiden wolf]

i'm not revealing more things about myself

[foggy oxide]

my apologies

I just remembered a movie where they had two French people from the opposite sides who didn’t understand each other’s accents

by opposite sides idk how to word it

regions I guess

[maiden wolf]

haha ye it can happen, especially with north/south accents, and the quebec ones

[primal valve]

there is a big difference beetween marseille and the chti

[foggy oxide]

100 more questions 😔

[foggy oxide]

ooh that’s interesting

[primal valve]

even french student don't have this much homeworks

[foggy oxide]

wait what?

[primal valve]

no

[foggy oxide]

you guys also use the @ sign?

[primal valve]

yes

[foggy oxide]

oh thank god

[maiden wolf]

and it has to do with gmail or hotmail or things like that

[foggy oxide]

they also say you guys write phone numbers with 2 digits per section rather than three

Like uh if I put 21-43-82 or something like that

while in America is 920-829-7392 (and yes I put in something random)

[primal valve]

no it starts with 06, 07, 05

[maiden wolf]

and 01

[foggy oxide]

ooh ok ok

[maiden wolf]

and there are 10 digits

[foggy oxide]

do you guys also have the first numbers in phone numbers based off of the region or something like that you live in?

[primal valve]

not realy

[maiden wolf]

it's more like 06 and 07 are for personnal phones, 01 is for home phones or companies/ administrative phones, and 05 is usually commercial calls

and 09 too

[foggy oxide]

that’s smart wow

I think it’s only different in the us because of how big the country is population wise

[maiden wolf]

oh but indeed 03 is for the north usually and so on

[foggy oxide]

👍

thanks for the help guys, I’m probably gonna finish this on my own

[maiden wolf]

good luck!

[foggy oxide]

and just want to make sure if what I wrote is good or not

[normal olive]

U can look up the word on jisho.org or u can use deepL translate
( im not japanese, i hv been studying jp fr a few months )

[vital drum]

hi, i'm Japanese

[hard cedar]

yeah sure

[lethal fog]

@lost echo can u explain this translation?

[hard cedar]

i can!

[bronze meteor]

"echar de menos"+ somthing = to miss something // "echar de menos a"+ someone = to miss someone, it uses the conjugations of the verb "echar" the rest stays the same format

He echado de menos a mi familia en vacaciones = I missed my family during vacations

Echo de menos la comida de mi país = I miss the food of my country

[lethal fog]

thx a lot gon!

[lethal fog]

wts the meaning of ¨Neurálgica¨, i cant find it

¨central o neurálgica de la educacion¨

[bronze meteor]

"neurálgica" is related to medicine but it is also used to refer something really important "centro neurálgico"

for example, the CERN is a really important place for quantum physics, so you could say " El CERN es el centro neurálgico de la física cuantica"

[lethal fog]

ohkk, thx!

[velvet karma]

hey people, does anyone knows french ?

i need help in something

[maiden wolf]

baguette here, what's your question 🙂

[velvet karma]

it's about expressing a hypothesis

en utilisant le en+ participe present

[maiden wolf]

mmh can you give an exmaple that you are struggling with?

[velvet karma]

okay sure

so the phrase says ''si cette fanaisson persiste, les organes se dessechent et la plante meurt'', et je dois exprimer cette phrase avec une autre methode en utilisant en+participe present, plus specifiquement, en+persistant

[maiden wolf]

let me search "fanaisson" i'm not sure it's a word

[velvet karma]

oh really

[maiden wolf]

ah it is a word but it's not very used haha i had to check

and it's fanaison i think

[velvet karma]

oh i was probably wrong when writing it lol

is it right to say ''en persistant cette fanaison, etc etc''

mon prof a dit que ca etait fauc

faux*

[maiden wolf]

mmh it's tricky, you could say, "en persistant, cette fanaison desseche les organes et fait mourir la plante" and that is correct, but are you sure you have to use en+ persistant?

it could also be in a sentence like "c'est en persistant que la fanaison dessèche les organes et fait mourir la plante"

[velvet karma]

yeah it's tricky because we're already expressing l'hypothese en utilisant ''si''

i think the first phrase makes sense

omg i think i got it, merci beacoup :D vous m'avez sauver la vie

[maiden wolf]

aaaah wait

hypothesis would be like

[velvet karma]

oh bien sure

[maiden wolf]

"en persistant cette fanaison peut dessécher les organes et faire mourir la plante"

or pourrait

[velvet karma]

so i can say ''c'est persistant que la fanasion peut dessecher les organes et faire mourir la plant" since the second phrase made so much sense

[maiden wolf]

it depends on the probability of the 'fanaison' having a definite impact on the plant

you can use "c'est en" but it is not necessary in the sentence i just used

[velvet karma]

oh i made a mistake i forgot the ''en''

actually i had a hard time understanding this method of expressing hypothsis since we didn't do no example on it

[maiden wolf]

and the difference between "peut" and "pourrait" is the one you make with "can" and "could"

[velvet karma]

pourrait is much better i think

[maiden wolf]

ye it's more hypothetical ^^

[velvet karma]

got it! i'll go write it down now and see my teacher's opinion, thanks so much for your help !

[maiden wolf]

no problem 🙂 glad i could help

[lethal fog]

"nunca flata pan recien hecho" (accent on recien)
wt does this sentence mean? @bronze meteor

[bronze meteor]

recien is like just made, fresh

so it is: fresh bread never lacks

or something like that

[lethal fog]

ohkk, thx again!

[fierce saffron]

If somebody wants to learn german and is good in basic maths, i would love to exchange knowledge! 🙂

[lost echo]

[winged scaffold]

sooo, i have been studying Japanese for more than 2 years now and i can confidently say that, I'm still not fluent. 🥲

[tall compass]

How do you learn a foreign language grammar?

[ebon phoenix]

I am not an expert but this is my POV on it. English is my foreign language and I learned (still learning though) it by listening a lot to it, using it, and studying new words day by day. I am at the point where I don't need to go to English classes anymore, but with that mindset I'll fall behind others, so I continue to learn new things day by day. But lets take as an example the German language. It's harder to learn because there is a lot of grammar in it, and all that. If you are studying the language at school like I am, you HAVE TO study it on time. If you fall behind with a language it will be really really hard to come back. I know it from personal experience. This school year is my last year of studying German, so that'd be a problem less xD. If you don't study it in a school, I really don't know, maybe buy a course or hire someone to teach you. Get yourself a dictionary, listen to the language. I wrote about vocabulary as well, which is helpful with grammar as well. I hope I helped you. If you need any more help write to me...

[tall compass]

Thanks! ❤️

[lethal fog]

Can someone plz check my answers

[desert tundra]

I would choose in vii) a) visitaba, the rest I think are okay

[lethal fog]

could you explain me the reason

like u r implying that he visited the palace for a certain period of time on a regular basis and then finally the royals accepted his req?

[desert tundra]

But when you say visitó, you are implying that he only when once when in fact he went several times

[lethal fog]

oh okay, cool thx!

[lost sparrow]

Hey people, I hope y'all are good.
Is there anyone who can take a look on my english work ?

DM me in case you can

[loud peak]

[fervent gulch]

[bright vigil]

How can I get free german books?

[lethal fog]

Can someone olz check my answers

[river comet]

the d is "quisimos", everything else is correct

[lethal fog]

why though?

cuz siempre is an indicator for imperfecto

[river comet]

i really dont know the grammatical reason behind, I am a native so for me it just sounds wrong

this site explains it really well https://www.dummies.com/languages/spanish/conjugating-the-irregular-spanish-verb-querer-to-want/

[desert tundra]

Never say always nor never with spanish, there are exceptions to the exceptions

[lethal fog]

oh god, now im freaking out

i hv an exam day after

welp my teacher just sent me the AK

[desert tundra]

That is not right

Is your teacher a native?? @lethal fog

[lethal fog]

nope, this AK is from the board (she didnt make it)
well she is a C2 lvl

[desert tundra]

Tell her that answer is not right, it doesn't sound good and is weird..,

[lethal fog]

she did not set the paper, out board (administration authority) did
she cant do anything bout it

[desert tundra]

Oh, right!! My only advise fot your exam then is for you to follow the grammar theory

[lethal fog]

cool thx a lot! i'll keep in mind bout wt u said

[desert tundra]

If you have any more questions, we are here

[lethal fog]

[nimble tundra]

Does anyone know Urdu or Arabic? I need to learn a sentence for a best friends birthday

[hard cedar]

@torpid scroll

[torpid scroll]

yes i am very profound in urdu

i can read arabic but i dont understand anything from it

[raw sparrow]

Here! I could help with Arabic

[nimble tundra]

Omg thank you so much~ Is “Salgirah Mubarak” a common way to say “Happy birthday” in Urdu

I’m trying to learn how to say them in both Arabic and Urdu, however i want to make sure im using Up-To date terms and the correct term as well

[hard cedar]

"salgirah" is more like anniversary

i think you can use

""janamdin mubarak""

janamdin = bday

[nimble tundra]

That is exactly why i came here, thank you so Much❤️

There’s so many resources that aren’t correct ;((

[hard cedar]

yeah
specially for indian languages

[young forge]

What is the difference between "efficacy" and efficiency?

[nimble tundra]

I was told Janamdin mubarak is Hindi- I’m so confused

[normal olive]

salgirah mubarak - urdu
janamdin mubarak - hindi

[nimble tundra]

Thank you <<33 i wanted to verify

[quaint stag]

здарова

[small cape]

Привет

[quaint stag]

погоди, как это так

ты native frensh speaker но в то же время говоришь по русски

[small cape]

Я живу во Франции но на самом деле я русский

[last hemlock]

Hey guys, can any native English speaker or somebody that is good at english proofread my Culture Paper? It´s about 2 Pages and counts as 20% of my grade. Knowledge about how to properly quote a online source is welcomed too! 🙂 Thank you in advance ❤️

[hard cedar]

hindi and urdu have common origins and have many many common words

[nimble tundra]

Yeah i did research and it seems Urdu and Hindi are quite familiar in certain things

[hard cedar]

yes yes
so janamdi will be more appropriate as to "salgirah"

[nimble tundra]

Even to a very close friend, whom is younger?

[hard cedar]

yeah
coz
salgirah= anniversary

[nimble tundra]

I want to say Happy Birthday

[hard cedar]

there so such proper thing as "happy birthday" tho

even we say "happy birthday" only

[nimble tundra]

Im assuming Salgirah and Janamdin both have the same common meaning- just used differently depending on context

[hard cedar]

kinda yes
but janamdin actually means birthday
coz
janam=birth
din=day

[torpid scroll]

salgirah mubarak is spot on, janamdin mubarak would be a little more formal and weird if its ur friend

janamdin is used in diffrent context like when ur referring to ur actual birth date

salgirah mubarak means--> salgirah means birthday and mubarak means blessed

so you could say "app kou salgirah mubarak ho". technically if its informal and ur besties u could say "tumhe salgirah mubarak ho" but it sounds kinda weird and saying "app kou salgirah mubarak ho" is much more polite and cute in a way

its similar to like how theres a difference in informal or formal birthday wish in korean

but it really doesnt matter!

[digital zealot]

Hola! Hi! can someone tell me what do they mean by ''contrato social'' in this peace of text? La crisis de América Latina plantea en algunos países una necesidad de reformular el contrato social, lo cual es "una buena oportunidad para evitar el surgimiento de opciones populistas, que las va a haber de todos los colores", sostiene Malamud.

[bronze meteor]

el contrato social hace referencia al conjunto de derechos y deberes de lo ciudadanos

The social contract usually refers to the overall rights and duties of the citizens of a country

[hard cedar]

Hi guys! Do you know good English textbooks? And what is the best way to learn languages in your opinion?

[quaint olive]

Try Duolingo. Also Word power made easy by norman lewis is a good book to refer to

[hard cedar]

Thank you!

[hybrid ice]

i think it depends on ur mothertongue, we used to learn english with the red line and green line textbooks in germany, which were pretty good

[hard cedar]

[hard cedar]

[olive flare]

[fringe moon]

Hey did sbd read crooked letter crooked letter here and can that person explain me the book sometime?

[heavy wind]

honestly i'd do everything to work on my french, i'm trying to get fluent but ye

maybe we can work on it together

[hard cedar]

Hi french speakers,
i just heard someone say "les personnes qui ont beaucoup de confiance en elles"
and then someone else said "les personnes qui ont beaucoup de confiance en eux"
My question is: "personnes" is grammatically feminine, so the technically correct pronoun would be "elles" right? But is it more natural/common to say "eux"?

[maiden wolf]

you guessed right, the correct way to say the sentence is "les personnes qui ont beaucoup confiance en elles-même" (note that it's more common to avoid the "de confiance", as the "avoir confiance en soi" type of construction, and say "elles-mêmes" rather than just "elles" which signifies "themselves" and not just "they")

[hard cedar]

ok merci bien 🙏

[maiden wolf]

but if you want to use "eux-même"

you could use the informal "les gens qui..."

[hard cedar]

yea!

[maiden wolf]

but it's a grammatical error that speakers make, because technically "gens" is feminine haha

(french language 🤌 )

[hard cedar]

QUOI

gens is feminine>?>>??~!

[maiden wolf]

sorry hahaha

[hard cedar]

💀

thank you for telling me

i have gone several years of my life not knowing this

[maiden wolf]

but even native speakers do that mistake of using gens in masculine

hehe the more you know ^^

[hard cedar]

this is breaking my brain

but thank you, now i know what to study today

[hard cedar]

Damn close test helpp
