Please let me know if there are any mistakes or better translations!
Speaking of vulgar terms, what is the situation with words for “bathroom” in your dialects? A professor of mine was discussing how restroom is one step later on the euphemism treadmill than bathroom - when he grew up, the teachers at his school instructed them to say restroom because bathroom was too dirty of a word. And that’s definitely still the case with me - I refer to the bathroom at home or with friends, but the restroom with coworkers or in other more formal or public settings. But in class when my prof brought this up, almost all the undergrads said they felt there was no difference at all between bathroom and restroom.
And apparently in Scotland toilet is still the normal, neutral term for a restroom. I remember reading an anecdote from a Scottish person who visited the US and asked where “the toilet” was in a restaurant and got some eyebrows raised quite high in response
In Hebrew the term שירותים (sherutim) is the normal term for every day use and in more formal situations. It literally translates as “services” but for all intents and purposes means bathroom/restroom/toilet/whatever.
me: why are you destroying earth!!!
aliens: because theres people who think that english is the only language they need to speak
me: thats fair i understand
For some reason I find this all the more amusing because it’s written in English
moi: pourquoi vous détruisez le monde!!! l'extraterrestre: parce que il y a des gens qui pensent que l'anglais est le seule langue pour parler moi: ah ça c'est bien
ich: warum zerstört ihr die erde!!!
aliens: weil es leute gibt die glauben dass englisch die einzige sprache ist die sie sprechen müssen
ich: das ist fair ich verstehe
ég: af hverju eyðileggið þið jörðina!!! aliens: af því að það er fólk sem finnst að enska sé sú eina tungumál sem þau þurfa að tala ég: oh, það er vit í þessu. ég skil.
ik: waarom vernietig je de aarde!!!
aliens: omdat er mensen zijn die denken dat engels de enige taal is die ze hoeven te spreken
ik: oh zo, ik snap het
minä: miks te tuhootte maapalloo?
alienit: koska tääl on ihmisiä joitten mielestä englanti on ainoo kieli jota niitten täytyy puhua
minä: toi on reilua, ymmärrän
私: どうして地球を滅ぼしているんですか？

aniga: waxaan fahamsanahay. waa wax cadaalad
我：你们为什么在毁灭地球?！！
外星人：因为有人以为他们只会英语就可以了
我：懂了，说得有道理
ako: bakit niyo sinisira ang mundo!!!
taga-ibang planeta: kasi merong mga taong akala nila Ingles lang ang kailangan nilang matutunang lenggwahe
ako: ah, sige naiintindihan ko
Aku : kenapa kau hancurkan bumi!!! Alien : karena masih banyak orang berpikir hanya bahasa inggris satu-satunya bahasa yang terpenting Aku : oh, oke lah..
tôi: tại sao các người hủy diệt trái đất!!! người ngoài hành tinh: bởi vì có người nghĩ rằng tiếng Anh là thứ tiếng duy nhất mà họ cần biết tôi: ồ thế thì tôi hiểu
Eu: Por que vocês estão destruindo a Terra?! Aliens: Porque há pessoas que pensam que o inglês é a única língua que eles precisam falar. Eu: Isso é justo, eu entendo.
jag: varför förintar ni jorden!!!
utomjordingar: för det finns folk som tror att engelska är det ända språket de behöver kunna
jag: rimligt, jag förstår
Já: Proč ničíte Zemi?
Mimozemšťani: Protože tu jsou lidé, kteří si myslí, že angličtina je jediný jazyk, který potřebují znát
Já: To je fér, to chápu.
ja: dlaczego niszczycie Ziemię?
kosmici: ponieważ są ludzie, którzy myślą, że angielski to jedyny język, którego potrzebuję
ja: rozumiem, w porządku
io: perchè state distruggendo la terra!!!
alieni: perchè ci sono delle persone che credono che l’inglese sia l’unica lingua di cui hanno bisogno
io: capisco, mi sembra giusto
Yo: porqué estás destruyendo la tierra!?!?
Extraterrestre: porque hay personas quienes creen que inglés es la única lengua que se tiene que hablar.
Yo: te entiendo, es justo.
Я: Почему вы уничтожаете Землю?!?! Инопланетяне: Потому что есть люди, которые считают, что им нужно говорить только по-английски. Я: А, ну понятно, тогда ладно!
אני: למה אתה הורס את העולם??
חייזר: כי יש אנשים בעולם שחושבים שאנגלית היא השפה היחידה שמדברים

German Vocab: Expressing your opinion
1. Basic Vocab:
die Meinung - opinion meine Meinung - my opinion zustimmen - to agree widersprechen - to disagree überzeugen - to convince richtig - right falsch - wrong
2. Expressing your opinion:
Meiner Meinung nach… - In my opinion…
Meiner Meinung nach ist Game of Thrones keine gute Serie. ~ In my opinion Game of Thrones is not a good show.
Ich meine/Ich finde, dass… - I think that …
Ich finde, dass du weniger Alkohol trinken solltest. I think that you should drink less alcohol.
Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass... - I’m convinced that…
Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass Katzen sehr sozial sind. I’m convinced that cats are very social.
3. Asking for Someone’s Opinion:
Was hältst du von …? – What do you think of …?
Was hältst du von Britney Spears? Magst du sie? ~ What do you think of Britney Spears? Do you like her?
Was denkst du über ….? – What do you think about …?
Was denkst du über das Rauchverbot? Bist du damit einverstanden? ~ What do you think about the smoking ban? Do you agree with it?
Was ist deine Meinung über …? – What is your opinion on …?
Was ist deine Meinung über vegane Ernährung? ~ What is your opinion on vegan diet?
4. Agreeing with someone:
Ich stimme dir zu. - I agree with you.
Du hast (völlig) recht. - You’re (completely) right.
Das finde ich auch. - I think so, too.
Ich teile deine Meinung. - I share your opinion.
Genau/Eben. - Exactly.
5. Disagreeing with someone:
Das kann sein, aber… - That might be so, but…
Das stimmt nicht. - That’s not true.
Da muss ich widersprechen. - I have to disagree with that.
Da liegst du völlig falsch. – You’re completely wrong with that.
Auf keinen Fall. - Absolutely not.
+ the not so polite way to disagree:
So ein Quatsch/Was für ein Blödsinn! – What nonsense/rubbish!
Du spinnst ja! - You’re crazy!
Du hast keine Ahnung! - You have no idea!
6. Expressing Indifference
Das ist mir egal. - I don’t care.
Es ist mir vollkommen egal. – I don’t care at all.
Keine Ahnung. - No idea.
you can make nearly any object into a good insult if you put ‘you absolute’ in front of it
example: you absolute coat hanger
as well u can just add ‘ed’ to any object and it’s sounds like you were really drunk
example: i was absolutely coat hangered last night
#i was gazeboed mate #i was absolutely baubled
Meanwhile, “utter” works for the first (e.g., “you utter floorboard”) but somehow “utterly” doesn’t seem to work as well for the second (“I was utterly floorboarded”).
Utterly doesn’t work for drunk because it’s the affix for turning random objects into terms for *shocked*, obviously.
… huh. I thought that might just be the similarity to “floored”, and yet “I was utterly coat hangered” does seem to convey something similar.
I have to tell you, I am utterly sandwiched at this discovery.
Completely makes the phrase mean “super tired”.
“God, it’s been a long week, I am completely coat-hangered.”
Something is
Something is wrong with our language
Is it a glitch or a feature?
Feature
this neat feature is called collocative substitution, and it occurs when certain words are strongly linked to certain context and/or phrases. when you read/hear a pair of words that usually wouldn’t go together, your brain fills in the context with what would normally be inferred, given the originally phrased pairing. thus, finding out that there’s a term for this phenomenon may indeed leave you utterly sandwiched. lesser known or less strongly linked phrases and pairings may not be able to translate substituted words to appropriately fit the inferred context, so you were not utterly floorboarded at the club last night, but rather you were absolutely floorboarded, and as this explanation continues to drag on, you may by the end of it find yourself completely coathangered from read it all.

“cute” in German
The basic translations for “cute” are either: niedlich or süß (the second one also meaning sweet like in taste) and here are some phrases and other words you might encounter or want to know! :) Some synonyms: drollig - cute and funny, derpy (like when a cat does weird but cute stuff) flauschig - soft and fluffy (in a cozy way like for a blanket or any animal you wanna touch) fluffig - fluffy (like an angora rabbit or a cake) klitzeklein - really small, very tiny knuddelig - cuddly knuffig - small and cute, cute so you want to hug it because it’s helpless and harmless lieb - lovely, kind, well behaved herzallerliebst - really very lovely and kind and cute (lit. heart-all-lovely) putzig - cute (can include animals wearing cute things), “not pretty but still or therefor cute”-cute, smol and cute weich - soft winzig - tiny zum Knutschen - cute so you wanna kiss it (knutschen=küssen - to kiss) Wie niedlich!/Wie süß! - How cute! Wie niiiieeedlich!/Wie süüüß!etc. - How cuuute! (you know, more vowels = more cuteness) (niedlich) aussehen (sieht aus, hat ausgesehen) - to look (cute) der Piepmatz - small and cute (song-)bird die Schnute - (belittlement of die Schnauze - snout) small and cute mouth (like of a cat) Diminutive (belittlement): Add -chen (sometimes -lein) to almost any noun. All nouns ending in -chen are neuter. Pay attention to vowel changes that usually occurs: a -> ä die Katze -> das Kätzchen (cat -> kitty or kitten) a final -e often disappears o -> ö der Vogel -> das Vögelchen (bird -> birdy) u -> ü der Hund -> das Hündchen (dog -> puppy-dog) u -> ü das Buch -> das Büchlein (book -> small book) au -> äu die Maus -> das Mäuschen (mouse -> cute tiny mouse) e, i, ei and eu don’t change. For example: e -> e die Ente -> das Entchen (duck -> duckling) e -> e das Ferkel -> das Ferkelchen (piglet -> smaller piglet) i -> i der Fisch -> das Fischchen (fish -> small fish) ei -> ei das Schwein -> das Schweinchen (pig -> small pig or piglet) There are also rather childish suffixes like: -leinchen, -i, -ilein, -ileini, -ileinchen, which are almost only used in speech. And regional suffixes like: -le. For example: Hundi (my aunt had a dog named like that… :D ) Hundileini (this is what a 5yo might refer to when they talk about their really cute and lovely dog) unser Katerle (our dear and lovely male cat) I probably forgot some stuff (like always) but those are some basics. And of course it’s not very easy to describe the exact difference between all those “cute"s. I’ll make a list of belittled/cute verbs later.
Olympics 2018
“우리의 미래 세대가 오늘을 기억하고 ‘평화가 시작된 동계올림픽이라고 특별하게 기록해주시길 바랍니다”
Words:
미래 세대 = future generation
기억하다 = to remember
평화 = peace
시작되다 = to start, begin, commence
동계 = winter
특별하게 = especially, particularly
기록하다 = to record (down in history)
바라다 = to hope
I hope our future generation will remember today and particularly record today as a peace starting winter Olympics (or as an Olympics that started peace)
*Note: I’ve covered ~(이)라고 grammar in the past. However, if it doesn’t help you ask me, ask someone else, google etc. etc. I’ll try my very best to explain though! Also I’m going for authenticity, not best translation ever :))

From a handout I prepared for my students last year
Bán: white, fair, fair-haired, pale. Bán is the colour of white cloth, frost, white wine, silver, white or fair hair, and pale, pallid, or blanched skin. People with albinism are described as bán. Bán is used in terms of endearment: mo chailín bán, “my fair girl” regardless of hair colour. Idiomatically, bán is used to mean ‘empty’ or ‘blank’: a leathanach bán is a blank page, while an áit ban is an empty or deserted place.
Geal: white, bright, clear. Geal is the colour of white flour, lime, the sun, teeth, snow, and swans. It describes bright light, and clear days. Like bán, it is used in terms of endearment: a ghrá gheal, O fair love.
Fionn: white, fair. Fionn is the colour of sunlight, seafoam, and fair hair.
Bán, geal, and fionn all overlap significantly. Bán generally is the most common, and tends not to refer to shades which can be described as bright or shiny – however silver money is described as airgead bán. Fair hair is never described as geal, although fair skin is.
Liath: grey, pale grey. Liath is the grey of grey hair, animals like mice, mist, mouldy bread, and watery milk. Unlike geal, it is a dull colour. Idiomatically, liath can mean “ancient.”
Buí: yellow. Buí is the colour of sunlight, gold, cornmeal, tanned leather, dried fish, and tanned or sallow skin. Idiomatically, buí is used to meán “ugly”, an gadaí buí meaning “the ugly thief.” A fear buí is an Orangeman. Seán Buí is John Bull, or by extension, England as a whole.
Flannbhuí: Orange.
Dearg: dark or vibrant red. Dearg is the colour of red ink, blood, gore, fire, embers, hot iron, and the lower layers of soil. Fíon dearg is red wine. Idiomatically, it can mean “real” or “intense”.
Rua: brownish-red, copper, russet. Rua is the colour of red hair, chestnut horses, copper, and rust. Idiomatically, it can mean “strong” or “violent”: an oíche rua is a stormy night. A madra rua is a fox. In place-names, such as An Cheathrú Rua, it refers to high iron content in the soil.
Bándearg: pink.
Corcra: purple. An early loan-word from Latin purpura, before Irish had a p sound.
Gorm: blue, but also bluish green, deep green, and deep purple. Gorm is the colour of indigo, azure, discoloured potatoes, the deep-blue colour of the sky, lush vegetation and grass, blue or green eyes, and bruised or livid skin. A duine gorm is a Black person.
Glas: green, but also grey and light-blue. Glas is the colour of the sea, grass, young or unripe plants, and green timber. It is also the colour of undyed wool, homespun cloth, iron, a cold winter sky, and grey eyes. Idiomatically, it can mean new, unexperienced, fresh; a saighdiúir glas, green soldier, is a new recruit.
Uaine: bright green. Uaine is typically used for any artificial green: one of the colours of the Irish flag, green paint.
Donn: brown. Donn is the colour of brown hair, cattle, brown paper, and timber or wood. Idiomatically, it can mean “firm”, or “strong.”
Dubh: black, dark. Dubh is the colour of black hair, night, ravens, and coal. Idiomatically, it can mean gloomy, evil, in secret. A place which is dubh le daoine, black with people, is overwhelmingly crowded. To have a croí dubh, black heart, is to feel overwhelmed by sorrow. An Fear Dubh is the devil.
