Nouns with the "wrong" gender pt. 4
The final of my โwrongโ gender nouns series (ie. masculine nouns that sound feminine and vice versa) includes words that change meaning depending on the gender you chose.ย
For example:
el frente - front BUT la frente - forehead
el coma - coma BUT la coma - comma
el cรณlera - cholera BUT la cรณlera - anger
el cometa - comet BUT la cometa - kite
el guรญa - male guide BUT la guรญa - guidebook
el papa - pope BUT la papa - potato
el capital - investment BUT la capital -capital city/letter
it's poor form to air your petty grievances with someone when it comes out they did something actually bad. save that for companies, like when you learn duolingo removed kanji from its beginner's japanese courses as part of their collab with crunchy roll
duolingo is shit for japanese imo*, here are some apps i reccommend:
Hey Japan - comes with a cute shiba inu bc fuck that aggressive owl. its basically duolingo made specifically for japanese and much better at teaching you HOW the language works.
Kanji Study - its the grey one, made by one person. it covers the first 80 kanji plus the main radicals that make kanji up, PLUS hiragana and katakana FOR FREE. you can practice by drawing, flash cards, multiple choice, and you can decide whether you read or select the romanji/character/meaning. i learned hiragana in 5 days using this. the upgraded version (one time payment) with higher level kanji goes on sale a few times a year, consider supporting the app if you find it useful
Todai - more advanced but good for reading comprehension. japanese news in... japanese. highlights which JLPT level words are and gives percentages of each level for each article. has inbuilt dictionary to check words you dont know.
Takoboto - my preferred japanese dictionary but there are loads out there. i like it bc i can search in english, romanji, kana, or kanji and it breaks down kanji compounds into individual characters. it also shows different conjugations eg: to eat, eating, ate, to be able to eat, etc
those are just the phone apps i use, there are so many other resources out there that are free and not pulling bullshit like skipping one of the 3 'alphabets' of a language
*to be clear the reason i think duolingo is shit for japanese is that it doesnt follow the JLPT pathway. which... you dont NEED exactly, but i think the country that had to make a new, easier language profiency test bc not enough people were passing the existing one will know how to build courses that teach their language. plus duolingo is doing *gestures* whatever shit that is up top.
if you seriously want to learn japanese, memorise your kana (drop romanji asap or youll forever struggle and I'll come to kick your shins) and find the ebook of genki 1 that someone uploaded, or some other JLPT N5 course. but NOT duolingo.
Edit: just realised that duolingo may be your only real option if your first language isnt english (too easy for me to forget, sorry). in that case, make sure you supplement duolingo with your own kanji study!!!
Link to all the Genki exercises that letโs you do them in different ways (writing, matchups, multiple choice etc)
I also recommend Busuu for this -- you listen to an actual person pronounce the word/phrase instead of a robot.

Transgender vocab in German?
So Iโm coming out as a trans man to my mom and my big bro on Friday. They live in Germany and I donโt think they understand the English terms. If anyone could help me find some trans related words in German that would be very appreciated.
Hereโs what Iโm mainly looking for:
- transgender (what is used in Germany: transgender, transsexuell, transident?)
- trans man (is there a specific word for transgender men/ transmasculine ppl/ ftms?)
- binder (the one that compresses your chest, like the ones from gc2b)
So those are the main ones, but if you know any other related vocab please let me know. Any help would be amazing, I just want to communicate as accurately as possible to help them understand me better.
Thanks in advance!

25 years ago an unknown Chinese protester stood in front of a tank in defiance of the government. No one knows the identity of the man but he was given the nick name โTank Manโ. This is one of the most iconic photographs of the century.
Itโs actually been 27 years now since the incident known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre occurred. The picture above, famously referred to as โThe Tank Manโ was actually taken on June 5, the day after the massacre. (Which honestly makes him the one of the bravest person, to go back and stand up to a regime after such a terrible event transpired)
So what happened? Iโm gonna give the TL;DR version:
April 15, 1989. Hu Yaobang, a former Communist Party Chief dies.
Many people, includingย workers, laborer, students and some officials come to mourn. You see, those protestors were originally there to mourn, not protest.
Time passed and there were some hunger strikes, and protests, and a call for accountability and reform from the government.
Eventually, things went south, because the communist party doesnโt have time to deal with these sorts of โdemandsโ and grievances.
Keep in mind, the people wanted not the end of the Communist Party, but for the party to stop with the official corruption, rule of law, and the gross monopoly of information and power.
Incidentally, China still suffers from all of these SAME problems to this dayโฆ
June 3, 1989. The massacre started at night to disperse the crowd. Many were shot, wounded, and killed.
June 4, 1989. Some of the parents of the protestors who never came home went looking for them. It was still total mayhem.
June 5, 1989. The iconic image of the tank man was taken. To this day, no one knows what became of this person.
Content Warning for video: blood
โTell the worldโฆโ
I cannot stress how important it is that people remember and know about this event. Do you know how China responded? With lies and censorship.
Even now, in 2016, we do not have an official death toll on the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese government doesnโt even acknowledge the event as a โmassacreโ. And they weaves these cover stories of โcounter revolutionaries trying to overthrow the governmentโ. Therefore, the violence was necessary to ~protect~ the people. (Or some bullshit like that)
The amount of lying and censorship in China is, quite frankly, scary amazing. Tumblr, which somehow managed to fly under their radar, found itself being blocked in that country.
After all, tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.
And those who remember the incident in China? โฆโฆโฆโฆwell, you tell me.
Please at least REMEMBER this tragedy. Untold innocent lives were lost, and a nation has been fed a lie for almost three decades now from their oppressive af regime.
I have never seen this video before.
What the fucking hell.
What the hell.
Tiananmen Square happened when I was seven, and letโs just say children have a really interesting way of interpreting information.
I just remember thinking it was a happy event, because all these people were out on the street, and at first the army were interacting with these people. And it almost looked like a festival because people were singing and talking, and hopeful. And then tv coverage for the events got cut off.
The blocking of the live coverage had all the adults anxious, nobody said anything for ages, I just remember my grandmother saying, โJust be glad your father isnโt in China, now.โ
And that stuck with me to this day. Because yeah, if dad had been in China then he would have been in Beijing studying, he would have been on those streets with those other students.
It was the first time I knew that something horrible had happened to all those people I saw on the television. I donโt even remember how I knew that the army must have shot at the civilians, I just knew. Because when you grow up in China, especially in the 80s you knew there were things you donโt say, that you canโt express in a public forum, because that can get you and your family in trouble. You just knew, and it didnโt fucking matter if your were a child or an adult.
To this day I donโt remember how I found out what happened in Tiananmen Square, because the news covered it up, but people found out. My grandparents knew, my uncles and aunts knew. Extended family visited my grandparents, I remember people telling my mother not to mention my fatherโs name because my father was a Chinese Beijing University graduate, who had gone overseas. Because there were people who died in the protests that my dad knew.
And it was all just so frightening because nobody was telling me directly what was happening, but I just knew that all the people on the streets was probably dead.
Looking back on it, Tiananmen Square instilled in a me a life long distrust of governments, but especially the Chinese government. Iโm ethnically Chinese but I never want to return to China, not even for a holiday, and this has been my attitude even before Xi Jinping took power. Because Tiananmen Square was a peaceful protest that ended up with the army using heavy artillery against their own people. How can you trust in a system, in a government like that? Because if my dad had delayed further studies overseas by two years he would have been one of those students, one of those fucking kids on the streets that would have died.
And you know, when the Umbrella movement was happening in Hong Kong I was deeply panicked and just anxious because I kept on thinking all those people, all those kids are going to be killed. And when that didnโt happen it was such a relief.
When I found out years later that Chinese people a few years younger than me didnโt know what happened in Tiananmen Square I was so fucking angry. I canโt even articulate the rage and the sheer tiredness of it all.
Dad and I talked about Tiananmen Square a few times through the years, broadly, politically, and at times with sheer rage on dadโs part. I donโt even know what I wanted to say, but just fuck this fucking regime.
I was In Hong Kong when Tiananamen Square Massacre happened. Hong Kong was still a British colony then and had full freedom of press, and its reporters were there recording live footage while trying to stay as long as possible when tanks rolled in and shots were fired, when students lay in blood and their fellow students piled the injured bodies on those wooden plank carts to get them to the hospitals, while asking the Hong Kongers who were there to support the movement to please remember that night and spread the story of the massacre far and wide, because they already knew they would be silenced, if not imprisoned or murdered.
That night, and in the upcoming months, Hong Kong was in perpetual tears, and in literal shock.
Hong Kongers were mostly Chinese, just south of the border with people traveling back and forth. It also shared a language, and so HKers could follow the whole movement and hear news that western media had little access to without the distorting effect of translations. And they followed very closely, because by then, Hong Kong was already scheduled to be returned to China in 8 years time. How the Chinese government dealt with the movement would be a sign of how itโd treat dissent, how itโd treat people whoโre used to the idea and practice of freedom.
What they saw was deadly. Ugly. It broke the hearts of millions of Hong Kongers who trusted that The Chinese Government had left its Great Leap Forward, its Cultural Revolution days behind. Those who could leave, left. Everyday the airport was filled with families about to be torn apart, who decided to trade the life they had in one of the richest, most vibrant and freest city at the time with the unknown, just so their own children would have the freedom to speak their minds, to have a higher education and not to be seen as the enemy of the state because higher education always led to independent thinking, to questioning, to asking for a better government as those university students in Beijing in the spring and summer of 1989 did.
The heartbreak and fear was almost palpable in its intensity. Most HKers were refugees from China or 1st generation of them. Unlike the HK youths now protesting who are more generations removed, they felt much more connected to the people in China. They still saw themselves as Chinese, like those students in Beijing. They mourned. They cried and cried and cried. They wore black or white everyday like it was the death of their closest relatives. TV stations played these Tiananmen Square clips all day. I can still play many of them out of my memory, can still recite what the students and government officials said (for example, they didnโt use tear gas because they only had three), the songs played โ I know every word of Chinaโs national anthem for that reason; the students were singing it. They were patriotic. They demanded reforms because they wanted their country to do better. 8964 was and still is, etched in my psyche. It is just one of the long list of atrocities this government has done against its people, but this one, I was close enough to feel it.
China censored the June 4th Massacre quickly and thoroughly โ if you believe China has censored queer material, for example, Iโd say this โ the extent of that censorship is not even close to what a true China censorship does. A true Chinese censorship is you canโt find the info, or a hint of that info anywhere. You canโt talk about it in a roundabout away. You canโt change some elements of time/place/person and pretend itโs fictional. It would literally ban the numbers 8,9,6,4 from search results, even though the searcher may really be just be interested in the numbers themselves. Whoever speaks of it may be sent to the police station for a โdiscussionโ; their family would be sent, if the speaker is outside China; the speaker may be arrested, and may never be seen again.
The western worlds pretended to be enraged about the massacre for a while and soon forgot about it, kept its diplomatic relations with China and did business with its government as usual. UK returned Hong Kong to China as scheduled, on July 1st, 1997. The city has been the only place that insisted on the mourning the victims and had done so insistently, consistently for 30 years, holding a yearly candlelight vigil in Victoria Park until this year, when because of the protests, the Chinese government decided to not even pretend to honour the international treaty they signed that promised HK its freedom until 2047 anymore. They shut the vigil down in the name of the pandemic (there were <10 cases/day then). Still, some people risked being arrested to go to Victoria park and lit their candles.
The Chinese government fears HKers for this reason. They are outside their iron curtain / firewall but have always been close enough geographically, culturally and ethnically to know and more so, to care. And thereโs nothing more a government like Chinaโs fear than people who insist on remembering the truth. With the National Security Law in place in Hong Kong now, probably the yearly vigils canโt continue. To understand how insane that law is, by writing this reblog, by saying things that make you dislike the Chinese government, Iโm already in violation of its Article 38. It doesnโt matter Iโm writing it in a foreign country. It doesnโt matter Iโm a foreign citizen. That law includes everyone on Earth.
Yes, that includes you. And you. And you. And you. They can arrest you for trying to overthrow the Chinese government if you pass the borders of Hong Kong.
Please help remember 8964 Tiananmen Square Massacre. That summer day, Beijing citizens asked Hong Kongers to please remember this event for them because they knew they wouldnโt be able to afford to remember it themselves. Now that Hong Kongers canโt afford to remember it anymore, Iโm hoping that everyone who reads this to please remember it, for the students who perished only because they wanted their government to be better, for the Tank Man who, on his way home with his groceries, decided to stand in front of a tank all by himself because it was the right thing to do.
I got all As again this semester so yay me :) :)
Turns out I spent five hours on a single chapter, doing assignments I didnโt even have to do. College sure is fun, yโall!
I learned about tally marks yesterday!
(I cross mine from R to L, but Jake does his straight through)
I was watching a kdrama and they were tallying a vote and I was just like: ๐๐๐๐
Cus Iโd never considered the cultural implications of tally marks. Lol, I just thought lines to five are lines to 5, ya know? Then I read the whole wiki page and now I want to learn more!
Are there other ways? How do you make tallies? Tell me moooooooore lol ^-^

Could you tell me how to translate "Make [person] proud"/ "make [person] proud today"? I already know that today is ์ค๋, and I figured out from your masterlist that "to be proud" is ์๋์ค๋ฝ๋ค (and I'm assuming then that to make that just "proud," you remove the ๋ค?) Beyond that I'm stuck. I really wanna write it as a motivator to do things I dread lol. Thank you in advance, if you reply ^-^
Sure! Here are two different ways to say โto make [someone] proudโ:
์๋์ค๋ฝ๊ฒ ํ๋คย
์๋์ค๋ฝ๊ฒ ๋ง๋ค๋ค
So for example if you wanted to say โmake yourself proud today,โ as in a command, you can say the following:
์ค๋์ ์์ ์ ์๋์ค๋ฝ๊ฒ ํด๋๋ ค์. (of course you can modify this or use the other verb I listed if you want!)
I have a lesson that explains this grammar structure right here if you want some more info on it! I hope this helped!! ํ์ดํ !
ใ Korean Handwriting Tip
Korean handwriting can be tricky, but letโs get you writing a bit quicker (and maybe even neater). One tricky one is ใ , especially if youโre writing it in the traditional stroke order it may come out like an ugly #. When writing this quickly many Koreans will write this as I+d or U with a line through it. (You may noticed it in the font on my last post!)
Another great example is the well known hangover ๋ฐฐ juice, or as some people referred to it as โIdHโ
