Affirmatives And Filler Words/sounds Are My Favorite Thing In Any Language. I Love That Every Language

I saw that English has also an expression for that: "should be taken with a pinch of salt"

Also, even if some translators are good, keep in mind that sometimes they won't understand the most colourful expressions and they will lead you to a word-for-word translation

I'm pretty sure that's not it....why is this the first result...... -> prendre quelque chose avec des pincettes = to handle/treat something with caution This post is a friendly reminder to take the google translate/AI translations with tweezers.

I have this paradoxical emotional process where listening to music in a language I don't understand is immensely appealing and pleasant to me, and it immediately makes me want to study the language, essentially taking away the reason why I was listening

i sometimes envision learners of hungarian as a second language encountering the word község and reading it with a zs like no that's obviously a z s you doofus why havent you memorised each word's individual etymology yet

I love untranslatable words and expressions! Sometimes it turns out so poetic I'm just like "why don't we have that???". But I think also of the old words very specific that we lost during time (hello old English, Latin, ancient Greek and all the old languages) and that makes me like "wow we can use only one word for what and not using a weird several-word-expression".

They make me fall in love with languages again and again

i fucking love foreign languages because while im glad english is my first since its stupid hard to learn, ive heard so many phrases and words in different languages that cant accurately be translated into english. like thats a special unique saying exclusive to that language that there arent words for in english. sometimes its the foulest assemblage of curse words ive ever heard and other times its something so gorgeous im like “you have a word for that???” holy shit. i love languages so much

Hi :)

❈ Listening to music - I listen to a lot of different genres and I like to discover new things. I can't spend a day without listening to music x) (and I like to play it too!)

❈ Crafting things - Especially origami but it can be all the other manually things/DIY that I can found in Internet or books :)

❈ Learning about languages and culture - I think that the diversity of languages and cultures in the world are really beautiful, I love discovering new things, new ways of saluting, showing love, new concepts, new untranslatable words...

❈ Writing/worldbuilding - I'm a Fantasy worldbuilder, and I like to write songs and poems. I'm currently working on a draft for a book that's still a messy draft, due to a lack of time and organisation x) Hope one day I'll finish my projects xD

❈ Nature - I'm just fascinated by the diversity, the beauty and the complexity of nature, it's so mesmerising!

#ask #tag game #i always write a lot even for simple questions x)

Bonjour, quels sont quelques façons de démonstrer à qqn sur texto en français que tu lui écoute et reconnaître (bref, des affirmatifs français)?

Salut !

Comme dans toutes les langues ça va dépendre des personnes et de la discussion, en tout cas pour ma part voilà ce que j'utilise :

- Je vois (oui)

- Ah oui

- Ah bon ?

- Je comprends (oui)

- C'est vrai (?)

- D'accord/d'acc

Répondre par juste "oui" ou "ok" peut paraître froid pour la personne qui reçoit le message, certaine fois je remplace "ok" par "oki" pour que ça passe mieux

Je rajouterai peut-être d'autres choses plus tard si j'ai de nouvelles idées, en tout cas j'espère que ça peut t'aider !

Si d'autres personnes veulent ajouter leur avis, n'hésitez pas à reblog en ajoutant les mots que vous utilisez :)

Broo learning a more obscure language is so hard because there is both so little and so much to work off of. Like I’m trying to figure out where to start with Tibetan, I can barely find any resources due to so much Chinese imperialism within Tibet making Tibetan as a language rare as hell, and each time I think I start to figure out the bare bone basics, I find something that opens more questions than answers. Like what the fuck is a post-postscript? Or a postscript for that matter? And are they different from the standard Tibetan alphabet? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ALPHABETS?! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS, ENGLISH?!

Can I once again suggest the app Polygloss for language practice?

You watch with other users to describe and guess pictures and it theoretically supports all languages as long as there are active users. Especially if you're a minority language learner or speaker, spread the word to get fellow learners or community members signed up!
