I agree. Wearing shoes inside is really gross.

Well, as they say: “I’m going my part”.

I try to make it a point to post questions on communities that have not kicked off yet, knowing that I most likely will not receive a response for a while.

I honestly haven’t paid attention where it starts going up. But I always thought that doing the two “?”s in Spanish was pretty clever for that reason.

In Slavic languages too

English can do that too, but it’s not really a “proper” way of doing it. The proper way would be to say “is that food?”

There are languages where the only way to pose a question is to change the intonation.

Nah, Firefox is actually a good browser. I’ve switched to Firefox ever since I heard about the upcoming changes and have never wanted to switch back.

I understand your point and opinion, but I think that, for us humans, it has more to do with similarity to our native language.

My boyfriend is very good at picking up languages, so he’s been pretty good at picking up Russian too. But yea, he mentioned the unpredictable stress thing being a bitch and that’s something I never noticed.

Haha, that’s exactly what I just posted. 100% agree

I also feel like there often is a temptation for people to believe that one’s native language is hard.

There are no objectively “hard” or “easy” languages. What makes certain languages “hard” is their difference from one’s native language.

But it’s also simpler in many ways. For example, it doesn’t use the verb “to be”. So, for example, instead of saying “I’m a boy”, you would say “I boy”.

Neither does Russian, Ukrainian, and I’m guessing, many other Slav languages.

Me too! Now, instead of just thinking dumb questions, I actually ask them.

How many of these are for Android?

Can someone explain this one to me? I’m on ios and therefore can’t use sync.

What the hell is X? I feel out of the loop, as always.

Lol, mine too

Ok, I must ask, what are beans?

I love these self-aware lemmy memes
