Hi
Hi
Hi
no hi in serious chat
Oi allowed?
No
@vocal tapir do you remember how i told you am downloading whole english wikipedia
so i basically managed to do that
feels so nice to have the whole database on my own disk lmfao
is it in ZIM format?
this is a serious achievement
use this power wisely
yes
i view it by WebArchives on my linux
i used to read it with kiwix, but kiwix doesnt have a dark theme, so i switched
the same situation
why did you download it
some time ago i was coding my bot for general purposes in python and decided to add offline wiki functionality to it, but this project was postponed by me :3
ah makes sense, i downloaded all of that cuz i may lose the connection randomly, living in the countryside be like
nice reason to use zim
I need help with this too
i can understand pretty much anything in English but i can't carry a conversation
Hi
I got a same problem
me too
not an easy thing to do. what you want to do is find a way to relate to what the other person is talking about and then you speak to that. or if something they say reminds you of an event or experience in your life, talk about it... "oh, speaking of __________, it reminds me of when i ____________"
https://conversationstartersworld.com/250-conversation-starters/
check out these open-ended questions. some of them are topic focused. try to answer some of these questions yourself and then find a way to move the conversation to a different experience or even a different topic to continue the conversation.... with yourself. its all about practice.
@hearty atlas @thorny steeple @urban gull @onyx hatch
and get in voice chat as much as you can. practice practice practice
Thanks for the advice man
how about banter, anyway i can improve that
i noticed i just keep asking questions to keep the conversation going
and it sounds like im just interrogating someone
this is best with people you are friends with so there is no misunderstanding. watch comedies, like friends or big bang theory or seinfeld
yea, this is the part when you want to give your input or experiences that relate to the topic. questions that dont sound like an interrogation would be something like "did you see __ (new movie or classic movie)?" or "__what did you think about ______ (current event topic)?"
We'll talk philosophy, logic and literature?

Guys I have a question for you, do you think we need love to be happy or love is just an illusion
Love is devastating, it ruins your life.
Personal experience.
Anyone aroun
Around*?
Well, I think love is not necessary for happiness but it does make you happy.
Well, that's true
That was a bit extreme tho, I just came here after a heartbreak and that's the first message I see.
I take it back (I'm neutral now).
Yes that's understandable
very interesting question.
I think like this.
happiness is based on love.
without love, there is no happiness.
Depends upon, what kind of love it is.
Though
Some kill you from inside.
kind of love?
Brotherly love, romantic love.
You said you were heartbroken, maybe something happened to you?
Something did happen to me.
But that doesn't remove the fact from existence.
would you accept my dm?
Sure.
I sent you dm/
Ahhhh
Hey
Who wanna talk about life
Can I ask ...what is life
And what is ur point in it
my point in life is to make money
U got it 100%
Yessir
This is the elow musk
Well ,i think life is just a rest before death and the real life is after the death ,think in it everything isn't fair you were born with different abilities like different body or maybe you were born in poor family or rich one so i don't think life is fair
I think the real life is after the death real life when everyone can have the same abilities ,life without getting worry ab money, and life without unfairness, life without misery .so if you ask me what is my point of this life i think we are living to die and start agin in real one
Join voice channels
start with where does life come from?
Hello
Disagree
why
You don't take any money you make in this entire life with you when you die (if you believe in afterlife) or the money will make your death more memorable.
Well If you want your parents to retire and have good life you need money
I just want money for my parents because they worked so hard
And I agree with you thats why I will make money and spend it
Never said you don't need to work. I believe only that you should not focus only on money as your purpose in life. You wanting to get money for your parents is a noble and empathetic reason. Is not motivated out of greed in "my point of view".
Yes I agree I think what I meant by money was success I just want to make them proud and retire them and also maybe create generational wealth.
I respect that. Go for it!
Yeah I like your perspective
You may be right

@lusty zenith byun
how to NOT be dry effortlessly?
That's me. I am the byun
live in a humid environment
oh i didn't really thought of that i'm actually kinda dry in 2 ways
dry in chat*
like dry humor?
it's basically showing little or no emotion
the movie? Not yet
In a school party I went to, while everyone else was making out, I was explaining chess theory to the girls in my class.
Perfect candidate for my username
Jk

hey friends
What

Yes
so I'll stay away from this lesson, teacherš«”
Not allowed
Itās mandatory
dont care abt "The Metamorphosis by Kafka"
Thatās what you get for letting me choose the topic.
Or for letting anyone choose the topic other than you.
no, I was asking whats the topic, like what are you currently talking about, You Guys
Believe me, I understand the question.
I did not asked you, to choose a topic
I dont
What do you find interesting?
where, in life?
Interesting topic
life
Youāre in luck. The Metamorphosis is about life.
shiet
I can't even pronounce that word
The life of a man who wakes up to discover he is a despised repulsive insect.
exactly
do you enjoy tortue people?
No, do you think I do?
I don't know you
Literature is a gift, not torture.
thats why am I asking
The theme of the novel is alienation.
novel??
Have you ever experienced any alienation?
let me think abt it..
yeah, propably
Would you like to say more?
In what way do you mean alienation?

okay Teacher
an alien? š³
Hello there! Try /define taco to get started :taco:
Itās the experience of being isolated from a group
yeah I was, but now I talk with only few ppl
for many possible reasons
What caused it
Alienation is about a psychological experience. Not physical isolation.
Self improvement, focus on my self, in the future there is bigger propabylity that I'm gonna be there With my self, then them with me.
That sounds like solitude
thats propably the best how I can explain it
Do you want to turn into a giant disgusting bug for self improvement? I donāt think so.
i don't feel alone
I'm good with my few friends and gf
you see that like this? crazy
and well, sometimes you have to left ppl behind, when you want to get better and they are the same, just pullin me down.
Sure, do you have any in mind?
bro, do you memorize all the pronunciations of each word? Like I speak Portuguese and the pronunciation follows what is written, and English is kind of free style, or not?
Ah, now I see Mr. Green alluding to Mr. Kafka
@thorny steeple kid, it's true that English follows graphemic orthography, but if you watch more and more English movies and expand your vocabulary, it'll be a piece of a cake for you in no time. I myself hail from a land abounding in phonemic orthography

But come just say one word and get banned it kinda stupid

That dude have 50k accounts, vivek probably too. I have two
What do we do here in this chat?

Hlo my friend
Hello. It is good to see my friend still alive and well
Ya me too .
Hey, so what is this chat for here?
Yes what chat for āŗļøšš
It is to discuss how best to dismantle the systematic oppression the goverment put on us
I suggest 500 tons of gunpower
Explosives are very fun.
Look into napalm too.
No federal agent is going to run the risk of burning alive and having his flesh melt off.

My country has had extensive experience with napalm
So does mine.
No hard feelings? I only intend to use it against my own government if they get any funny ideas.
Iāll give them some for your country.
Most patriotic American I have ever seen in my life. God bless
You're a funny funny man
I donāt like modern forms of government.
Too much corruption
I either want to live my life free from restrictions in my country as it was from the beginning or I want to see monarchies (WITH PARLIAMENTS) return to Europe and return to one of my ancestral lands to live.
I mean Sweden has her King still but the murder rates are increasing.
And Iām not going to England
Damn. I understood maybe 2% of that. But I can see you are very passionate and learned. All the best wishes to you to friend
Iām sorry, I forgot you are a beginner.
Nah. It's just I don't understand much about politics or government thingies
I want to live free in my country away from the Government or return to Europe if things were more ROYAL
Iām a nationalistic person, but that does not mean I want to put other groups down.
Self determination!
I became very interested with the history of old Europe so Iām pretty much just a fan of the old stuff there.
ohh

Hello everyone! š
Which is your country? I was curious...
United States.
Allow me to say something about my monarchist sympathies, if everyone had a King and Queen then the British wouldn't be so special anymore.
I do not like the British.
Wow, I was still more curious...
Oh, I'm living in a country that has a monarchy family... Netherlands
But I'm new here and I'm learning about everything yet...
Good, me too
The House of Oranje-Nassau rules The Kingdom of the Netherlands
The only surviving European matrilineal (Female ruling) dynasty of any historical significance.
About the US, you told me about being free from your country, but the US seems to be a free country. Am I wrong?
Most notable for Queen Wilhelmina who ruled during both World Wars
The US Government likes to meddle in things that should otherwise be of no concern.
There are many restrictions to opening a business, which was the core principal the US was built upon.
So if you ask me, the "freedom" is more a charade and instead the reality is "Hey, everywhere else is worse so you'll stay anyways"
I wish we had Amsterdam's bike infrastructure.
Wow, I will search about her! Isn't common to learn about other royal families than de UK family in my born country.
Well, their publicity about themselves is very strong, no doubt about it.
No only in Amsterdam, but in all the country. I love bikes and all the Netherlands has a beautil struture to ride for everyplace that you want.
I think it is like 1/3 of the adult population is overweight. I don't know how anyone who can't walk a mile can say they are free.
There is little regulation on food compared to the EU.
Be glad you live in a place that has rules against spraying crops with all kinds of pesticides.
haha someone is making a lot of money with that, probably the really freedom people
Start going up the pyramid and it is around 5 corporations controlling all food in the United States.
They want to make money, not keep people healthy.
They get more crops by keeping them free of pests.
More crops is more money.
Yeah, I chose to move here because of that too. Is very recent, like I said. But yes, all the food products, for example, have a stamp informing about the level of health. You can choose "bad" food, but you can decide that for yourself in a clear form.
One of the unfortunate woes of late stage capitalism. No better alternatives for the middle and lower class though anymore.
How long have you lived there?
My whole life, all 17 years.
I not a real fan of monarchy, but I agree 100% with you on this point.
You are young, can change soon with you really want it.
Good talk with you! See you later š
If a monarch raises their heir well, to be good and to make sure the commoner is happy, then the monarchy will thrive as well.
That is how it should be.
Coupled with a prime minister and large parliament to cover small areas of people you can have a strong, yet fair and effective government.
The king can keep corruption in check with limited powers over the military (internal operation, the king cannot decide to declare war without parliamentary vote)
And the people with their parliament will make sure the king who hopefully was raised right is kept in check lest the very large population seek to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic.

ćććļøµ Hi~
ć(''(ā-ā)

ć (ćć )''
ć _T_/
Anyone here?
Idk probably because I wanted to help people learn English and had intellectual conversations and calmly explained something I believed could work.
U r American?
I am.
Well, i want to ask u something
I'm willing to study in Europe
And the thing is that I'm muslim
And i heard that other teenagers make a fun out of people who don't have gf or not willing to have one
Is that true?
I don't know if it's the same in Europe and America but i just want to know
absolutely not
I live in Europe and it's not true
maybe a few immature people idk but if you choose good friends thy will never say tajt
Do they respect Muslims there?
In Europe I'm not sure about nuance things like that.
that's pretty rare
In America I can tell you what regions you would be least likely to have someone hate you. But Americans can be hateful.
There will always be someone to hate someone for something else.
How about drinking?
It's going to be okay if i didn't share there happy moments with a beer?
Most Americans won't refuse if you say "No thanks but you should drink it instead"
Will they understand that muslims can't drink?
If i refused
Because i dont want them to feel bad
just say 'I'm good' and pass ... simple
I'm a Muslim myself and in my opinion I couldn't tell you that totally yes bc there are a lot of stereotypes about our religion. But I think it's the same everywhere ,there are very good people as bad.there will always be someone who disrespects you, and not necessarily for your religion.
That easy?
Most leftists are 'supportive' of muslims and right wingers are very much for religious freedoms so just say "Its against my religion" if it gets that far.
if they dont understand dont stay with them if you dont wanna drink that's your choice they have to respect it

Americans like drinking.
I'm actually planing to study in albania and there is like 70 present muslim
There is like a 6% chance they would insist.
I'll try my best
Thank you guys really
I was afraid of that specific point
I feel much better
Stay away from the south-east coast its awful and humid come to the north-east its where all the best schools are and everything important is.
In Europe you mean?
Oh I'm American.
Yes i know
In Europe go anywhere except Bosnia, Serbia, and France
Serbs will probably think you are Bosnian because of the Muslim population and Bosniaks would probably just attack you anyways and France is in civil war mode right now.
I'll keep that in mind
Thank you
For now I'm considering Germany and albanis
Albania*
Albanians are proud if you say you love Albania you'd probably fit in and Germany is pretty tame minus the fuel crisis I'm not sure if that's still happening though.
idk if you can tell that in France it's a civil war, but I agree that it's complicated.
It is certainly France
But I respect France more than England
The French riot instead of doing gas attacks and shivings.
More fun people at parties if you ask me.
Goodbye.
ahahhaha
your welcom!!! and good night
If you don't wanna drink with your friends it's pure offensive
If you are Muslim you can not drink. Salam maleikum
I disagree, it just depends on the company
nah
people that demand that you drink with them or its offensive are not friends
Or they are Russian
i wanna know how most European and American people spend their time?
do they do meeting with relatives or do studying or just chilling outside?
and if they have an gadget, how often do they spend to?
Seriously or it just me? Or the beauty standards is kinda obsurd
Yes just me and beauty standards is kinda absurd š
It is freaking absurd
most of them are actually unreal and only attainable with surgery so yeah indeed
depends on the country
for example am polish, here, and in other slavic countries even more, the drinking culture is sooo strong, that not drinking is just disrespectful towards other people
am an alcohol abstainer all my life, like ive never drunk and i do not intend to ever do that, and every single time some friends, colleagues, or family members, are meeting each other, am deemed to be this weird guy, cuz i never drink
i used to be isolated in school when i was younger, because all the kids, even tho they could not legally get the alcohol, they were drinking it, and well i wasn't, so i was considered "boring" because i was not gonna just roll on a table or scream random stuff while almost unconscious lol
am not saying they were doing this at school, cuz they werent, but i bet, in most cases it was the first thing they were up to after it
and you consider these people friends that would have this disdain towards you over a personal choice?
How to touch grass? (Not kidding, seriously)
Tell yourself things.
Have internal struggles with yourself and say to yourself over and over "I am an outgoing person" or whatever you are trying to do.
It helps.
But what if I'm really not
I wasn't always an outgoing person.
I faked it.
Forced myself to be social for a while and eventually it took over
I just talk politely and like I'm friends with most people.
Even if I do not like them.
whatis this premium chat in this server?
well, first youll have to get up from your desk chair and close out of genshin impact
i am, but its for far in the future lol, like end of the year or early 2024
Anyone play valorant here
hey i am typing here and I am a serious person ||no i am not lmao||, but I don't like serious convos so that channel is not for me thanks
genius
have a safe drive home
I seriously love you ā¤ļø
I like u š
I don't think this is a serious chat
its not important, language is the tool for communication
To be understandable is more important
It's a bit important if your accent isn't that easy for others to understand, however it's not important as much as the fluency of your english speaking level and how your feelings or whatever things you wanna say is being expressed simply and without facing any difficulties in it
I am batman
it is important to have it good enough so that the other speakers can understand you
anything beyond that is just... kinda aesthetic i guess, like it affects the comfort and general feelings of other speakers towards you, so if you wanna use the language professionally on daily basis, live in english speaking countries and make friends with natives, then having it natural will be a great plus
like i care a lot about having my "r" sound as soft as english does, even tho my native has very harsh rolling r, and i also look up the correct pronunciation for a lot of words and i pay attention to it, but am aware that well, ultimately the crucial thing is just to understand each other right
Hey, I have a doubt in this sentence: Paul said, 'Do you think you should get another chance?'. What will the sentence be if it was framed as: Paul asked...
asked works a little better since the reported speech is a question.
said isn't wrong tho
that would be the sentence if it was framed as "paul asked." and thats what it should be. you dont say a question; you ask a question.
Nice
Whoever needs help with English message me
That's how direct-indirect speech assignments are....
Firstly, this should go in #šļ½english-questions .
Secondly I'd like to see you do it first. If you're wrong, I'll help you
aw thanks, but i am not here for someone which loves me "seriously" š

huh
whoever needs help with school tasks, message me guys I'm open to talk hehe
Totally agree with u
Thank uš
@winged lintel i do, hello there
Hello friends, could you give me tips on the best way to learn to write and speak English? fast? if you had to learn everything from scratch all over again, where would you start?
Practice makes a man perfect

I'd start from basic grammar, and vocab

Hello

Hey
Hello

I think telling new learners to focus on grammar is a false guideline people lay down, and to me is one of the worst things you could advise to a new learner. The things you should chiefly focus on are vocabulary, sentence structure, and making sentences.
Vocabulary is super important because it's like the staple of making sentences. How can you make sentences if you don't have vocab to do so?
And sentence structure is also very important, you should learn to put sentences together to be able to convey what you want to say.
Things like grammar, pronunciation, and spelling should be less prioritized because if you have great vocab and the ability to put sentences together with that vocab, there shouldn't be issues understanding you, even if you have bad grammar.
This is my advice to an English learner.
Hello! I'm looking for a speaking partner who has around intermediate level of English and is down to practise on a regular basis, like two or three times a week. I can prepare topics to discuss. If you are interested, pls DM me. ššš
I could be a candidate maybe
here are some tips, watch as many english movies as you want. And also read books repeatedly until you make it.
Sentence structure and making sentence isn't a part of grammar ??
Need friends
Hello. Today I woke up screaming.
do you accept math and science?
š„²
yeah sure but I am more unto english
Hlo guys
Paul asked if I(or smn else) should have got another chance / Paul asked me to express my thoughts about getting another chance
Start learning vocabulary at first, words are key of understanding the language. Then you should read a lot in order to understand the structure of sentences. After that watch a large amount of videos, for example, youtube, movies and TV shows. That is needed to improve your listening skill and understand the speech of other people. I suppose it is the easiest way and you just should repeat this circle but also changing the level of content every time. At the end, when you will fully get what others say and write, the only thing left is your speaking and you can practice it here (in order to speak you firstly have to get good vocabulary base and understand your mates thats why it is the last stage)

Hello.
Can you recommend something a video for learn?
yeah man that's my opinion too and @full mason 's also. you could if u want for the basics, learn the parts of speech at most. once u learn sufficient english u can prepare to improve it
for beginners i would recommend watching cartoons and english tutors on youtube (e.g. English with Lucy)
Ok, thank you.
What about trying to talk if I not good enough at the language?
What initial knowledge is enough to attempt a conversation?
Trying to talk is always important even if it's difficult to you but knowing the language better, it will be much more easier to communicate so don't rush with that. First of all you have to know how to engage in conversation with other language speakers (as I mentioned earlier, by reading some articles and books + watching some videos), and only then it would be good idea to practice your speaking as you won't face much difficulties
I got it.
Thank you.
@crisp estuary
In a roundabout way, maybe, but not in a conventional way. The kind of grammar I'm talking about is that unnecessary technical grammar, like conjugation, tenses, all that stuff.
All of that is super unnecessary to learn as a beginner. Focus on gaining vocabulary and learning how to use that vocabulary in a sentence so you can convey what you want to say.
tenses are not unnecessary
i mean yes, vocab is the priority, but there's literally everything that could go wrong if someone doesnt understand differences between tenses
as soon as you know them, you can sound better, and understand things better, than some "fluent" speakers who claim to be amazing, but in reality they still say a lot of stuff like "she havent" or "we doesnt", or maybe "it did not happened"
like no reason to delay it, because the reason why so many people end up not knowing them is just because they were ignoring them from the beginning all the time, and now they speak the language to some extent, but they are prone to misunderstandings
but yeah, i dont mean going into small details of them, the input and the vocab are top priorities because without the input you dont even know how the language sounds irl
He is in school he also wanna know how to write that's why I said that and all of your points are correct I agree
i think the way we learn as kids is perfect. just get around people speaking and listen to it a ton, try to understand it and speak it for yourself. the fast way depends on how much time/effort YOU put in to it.
If like a dumb like me, very hard to learning English
babies are "dumb", then they learn to talk
link?
face u š

Thanks for such wonderful advice.
Hey guys
here Are you serious?
seriously
True true
yeah true
So that s the serious chat
Ok im going to ask a very important question
Is Better to wacth Barbie First or Oppenheimer
Oppenheimer then barbie
I just scared my sister so much she punched me.
You were pretty close! The correct word for referring to your sister is "her"
"Her" is used to refer to a single female in third person, Although "her" can also be used with animals and countries.
"Her" is used as the object of a verb or a preposition
Verb = action word (something you do, such as run or jump)
Preposition = a word, or a group of words placed before the noun
so what is the ig
Nice.
Is this a bot? Or are you an actual hardworking person who cares about grammar?
Iāve checked, itās an actual person. Kudos mate.
Yeah, I'm an actual person, I wish to help others learn English!
Neat.
Mhm!
Is your profile picture your original work?
Nice.
U to fella
Hello š
hi
@sharp blaze so hru š

Beautiful ā¤ļø
and you
I'm from India āØāŗļø
Howdy everyone š
Great
What about you?
hello this is serious
hello
š§āāļø
@lavish finch I'd like to ask a question and it's related to English grammar.
Whatās the difference between an idiom and a piece of coloquial language?
I didn't understand what you mean by a slang piece. Please give me an example. And for the idiom, the idiom carries a meaning that is far from the one given in the sentence. For example: (Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea) Here I'm saying that I'm between two steps, both of which are dangerous, or if you take one of them, I will get into trouble.
What.
š you ask isn't it.
I asked? Sure I did. What I mean now and meant then is: I could not understand you.
Can you comprehend that?
What's something you don't understand?
Of course.
The text youāve sent.
I did not.
I couldnāt follow, and I donāt think it was because of a lack of trying.
Can't read this text?
I can read it just fine, the matter is: I could not extract any meaning from it.
What did it mean?
Thatās what I was left asking.
Well, I mean the meaning of the idiom is different from the meaning found in its words.
Here I couldn't understand you so I asked you for an example.
That also makes sense.
Do I need an example? Canāt you think of one yourself? And by doing that, would you also arrive at the answer to my question?
If you don't give me an example I can't help you.
I apologise if I was blunt, that was my intention.
I couldnāt extract any meaning from your original message, but given that youāve since put it in a more eloquent manner, Iām happy to be having this discussion.
Why donāt your give me an example? Then I could help you.
Anytime my friend.
Yep.
How can I give you an example when I don't understand what you mean when you said "slang piece"
I never said slang piece. Thatās what I didnāt get from your original. message. Coloquial language sometimes incorporates the use of slang, but it isnāt slang.
Okay okay you were right. You know what, I will go now goodbye.
Hey
Hi
hi
is noise an abstract or concrete noun?
Hi girl.
Ų³ŁŲ§Ł
I'm so serious š¤
okeyš¤§š¤§š¤§
It can be either.
Concrete example; I just heard a noise
Abstract example; I canāt study if thereās noise
how can we differentiate?
abstract; .
existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.
yeah but noise can be heard
This noise is still a real thing Iām not sure what youāre saying lol
Iām not sure you understand the difference between abstract and concrete
because you experience it through one of your five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch.
and thats concrete
Please explain me
me too
Letās look at a different example
weather vs rain
Rain is a specific type of weather
Itās concrete
Weather is an abstraction
how does it relate with noise?
You have not let me finish. It does apply to my noise example.
ok, continue
Noise can be used to describe both something concrete or something abstract.
You can talk about a specific noise. Like a tapping sound.
Or you can talk about noise is an abstract concept. Not a specific type.
Youāre talking empty words
i dont understand
I just heard a noise is still abstract you havenāt given any specificity
yeah, kinda
No itās just ambiguous.
š
so if there is an mcq in english test if noise is abstract or concrete
what do we choose?
If youāre dissatisfied with my description please go ahead and give us a description that is satisfying.
Noise will always be abstract since itās an obfuscated version of a specific sound
i see
Unless you go and specify it, I heard a tapping noise. But thatās weird at that point say tapping sound
but i think Sir Green is also right
Hah even better
His distinction is simply null since he describes the same thing twice
thats kinda true lol
but thanks for ur explanation, i kinda got it
information theory defines noise using three characteristics. Ambiguity, contradiction, redundancy.
If you want to understand a thing, it helps to provide a definition.
As a teacher you should do some self reflection
What would you like me to reflect on?
The fact that you described the same thing twice
But I didn't.
One definition of noise is exclusive to sound.
The other definition of noise is an abstract concept related to noise in any kind of transfer of information.
I'm also going to use our conversation to teach something about communication.
For any observers who attended my series on SAVI this week (system for analyzing verbal interactions)
Where would you categorize the utterances from myself and Alexithymia?
(note that noise is at the bottom of the grid, along with silence and laughter)
Would you be specific? Which utterances are influencing?
Possibly. Try to be specific. Which utterances, and which subcategory of influencing.
I am not interested in your SAVI model
Ok
I canāt study when there is noise refers to sound
I donāt see the relevance with this model
Are you interested in the relevance?
Unless you refer to the information transfer being noise because of a bad teacher or something
But thatās a very weird way to put it
How would you put it?
That would be box 1, attacking.
Not I canāt study if thereās noise
You're thinking of a very specific kind of noise.
But that's not the only kind of noise.
You have auditory noise
Yes
And interference
Using this definition for this is weird
What makes it weird?
Because it implies noise as in sound
That's right
If you would analyse the context of similar statements you would see itās basically always in the context of sound
It's obvious in that example that the noise is auditory.
No
š
You don't see a difference
My argument is that there is none
I am lol
Alright, would you tell me what I've said so far?
First you wanted to define noise using information theory. Then you said noise has multiple meanings I agree (auditory and interference) you then talked about your SAVI grid. We then talked about how I canāt study when there is noise implies sound and not interference
Enlighten me
You've got a pushy attitude
Okay and this is relevant how ?
That's what I'd like to know
It isnāt relevant
There it is
My personality doesnāt have relevance to this discussion. Now you ask so why do you have this personality.
Thatās even further from relevance
So let me start by stating my interest
Okay
I don't need your encouragement
abstract/concrete is a matter of definition
noise is also a matter of definition
@violet otter original question was "is noise an abstract or concrete noun"
yes
Yes so ?
Ik u bcz im u

There was no context given. For example "I canāt study when there is noise"
You gave that context lol
And I said you described the same thing twice
You're leading me where you want to go, again. Blindly disagreeing before I've finished. That's why I said we're done. You're not interested in following my chain of reasoning. That's fine.
You talk about irrelevant things
I canāt study when there is noise
Is this about sound yes or no ?
The answer is yes
Irrelevant to you, from your place of understanding. I'm not here to convince you out of it.
Meaning itās not abstract and thatās the end of it
whats the conclusion
i still havent got my answer lol
@violet otter That's true
what?
"A concrete noun refers to a physical object in the real world, such as a dog, a ball, or an ice cream cone. An abstract noun refers to an idea or concept that does not exist in the real world and cannot be touched, like freedom, sadness, or permission."
Auditory sound is physical. Therefore concrete.
The clarity of an essay is conceptual. Therefore abstract.
Noise can be either.
ok thanks
Yes
so how do we know which one is which according to sentence
But I canāt study when there is noise is concrete
Depends on the sentence.
Not abstract like you claimed
can u explain
He canāt
can u? lol
He did explain it
.
i mean with sentence explanation
Noise when talking about sound is concrete because you can hear it
I canāt study when there is noise
Talks about sound
You can hear sound thus it is concrete
ok
and when is abstract?
The data transfer was subject to heavy noise talks about interference, this is something you canāt see feel touch etc and thus is abstract
Alexithymia is right.
The original example I gave for abstract noise, "I can't study if there's noise", is actually an example of concrete noise, because its implied that the noise is auditory, not conceptual.
Thank you
A better example for abstract noise would be "I can't understand your essay. The ideas are all over the place. There is too much irrelevant information. It's too noisy."
The abstract definition of noise and the concrete definition are two distinct definitions.
The reason it's useful to elaborate on the abstract definition is that it makes it easier to identify it and distinguish it from the other.
That's why I listed the three characteristics of abstract noise; ambiguity, contradiction, redundancy.
In the end itās irrelevant. I canāt study when there is noise is referring to sound and is thus concrete.
its abstract
What do you wish to tell me about it
It's a kind of noise.
is it abstract?
Yes
In this case it would be yea š
lol
okay
Box 3, orienting, competing, interrupting.
Relevancy depends upon goal.
What is relevant for one goal is irrelevant for a different goal.
You are like a broken record
I'm not just talking to you, Alex.
My discussion never reached further than making you understand that I canāt study when there is noise is concrete and not abstract
i see
Alex is correct that what I'm saying is irrelevant for him. But it's not irrelevant for me, because we have different goals.
yeah
What I see is that Alex interrupts himself. But I don't know why.
lol
Well for example, Alex could tell us about his goal, what is relevant to him, etc. I don't know what's getting in the way of him doing that.
to err is human
You can't correct me because I have not finished.
š
You don't know what I'm going to say.
Thatās a flawed statement
Alex was right that "i cant study when there is noise" is concrete
I donāt need to wait for you to Finnish the moment you say 1 + 1 = 3 I can correct you
š true
But I didn't make a flawed statement.
You did
Where?
You claimed I canāt study when there is noise is abstract
