This is my language side-blog:)
Languages are a special interest of mine (∞), so I study them. I'm just bad at consistently studying, so I've elected to whine about it on a blog.

Languages I attempt to learn are in the tags ♥️

i like how social media is flat
people use social media Platforms, which they post On.
socmed is a platform that media exists on... fun
in similar fashion, communication is more locational..... i get messages In my dms. i send messages in discord channels. direct messages and channels are locations that messages exist inside of... so cute

not to propagandize my own ethnicity which is explicitly against propagandization (we love intramarriage & r not a universalizing religion) but i don’t get why more linguistics enthusiasts don’t loveeeeee yiddish. bcus it’s so nerdy & unique. germanic language written in an afro-asiatic script with sooooooooooooo many slavic loan words & so many different dialects
In today's linguistics class we talked about metaphors, and we really want two of the ones we talked about to become conventionalised.
So first of all this one girl told us about a newer metaphor in Russian, "I have paws", which is something you say when you don't really want to do something, so you say you're incapable of doing it since you have paws instead of hands. Like, "hey, finish that report" "aw but I have paws :(" and I think that's adorable. It's like "I'm just a girl" but for animals.
We also had the task to invent a novel metaphor and have the others guess what it means, and the teacher really liked my "she's such a capybara" = "everyone loves her". Capybara energy is like golden retriever energy except you're chill about it. You're just vibing and everyone digs that.
Anyway I think these deserve to become more common in English
VERY important addition oh my gosh,,,
i think something is wrong with my shaders
I used the phrase "waiting on tenterhooks" and then thought "what the hell is a tenterhook".
It's these things! So when you're waiting on tenterhooks, you're stretched tight like a piece of cloth. Very evocative, now that I know what it means.
like 40% of english idioms are just Textiles Again

the not-chinuk wawa ao3 post and the "no english cognates" katakana post make me feel some kind of way

"this post transcends language XD" but it's a post with no english cognates at all
the reblogs are insane. so many people who seem unable to grasp that yes, the katana for "garlic bread" is in the japanese text. can the average english speaker read that? no. these posts are still incomprehensible to an english speaker with no knowledge of the japanese language or its syllabaries.
「ガーリックトースト」 and "garlic toast" is NOT the same as "brilliant" and "brilliante"
+ no idea that loan words and cognates are different. god bless

wow.... after talking about that notorious not-chinuk wawa post, i get blessed with a real chinuk wawa blog. life is so beautiful
the chinuk wawa ao3 post actually makes me feel pain. i've seen it circulate throughout a few years and it pains me so bad because it seemingly spreads so much hope but those fanfictions are Not in chinuk wawa At All.

#i just looked and i don't think this post gives you the full picture #santigold96 has written 357 works of asoiaf fanfiction in chinuk wawa #the devil works hard but santigold96 works harder
i've seen this make it's rounds time and time again- santigold96's fanfictions are not in chinuk wawa!
santigold96's fanfictions are in a bantu language.
there are so many languages available on ao3! i just went to skim through their list of supported languages. as far as indigenous american languages go, i recognized these immediately:
- anishinaabemowin
- ᏣᎳᎩ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ (tsalagi gawonihisdi)
other indigenous languages include:
- アイヌ イタㇰ (aynu itak)
- 'ōlelo hawai'i
- nāhuatl
- sámi
- te reo māori
(side note: these are all just things i recognized immediately. i am not all knowing lol. if you recognize another indigenous language that's supported on ao3 i HIGHLY encourage you to add it to this post ♥️ yakoke ♥️)
In the modern idiom:
“So Bob said […]” indicates that I am directly quoting Bob.
“Then Bob was like […]” indicates that I am paraphrasing Bob.
“And Bob was all […]” indicates that I am paraphrasing Bob, and additionally I am being a dick about it.
I don’t know about you, but I think it’s fantastic that we have a specific grammatical convention for that.
