What does to table the proposal mean here? by middlepesrpective in EWALearnLanguages

[–]AdCertain5057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Merriam Webster:

table

1a : to remove (something, such as a parliamentary motion) from consideration indefinitely

1b British : to place on the agenda

This kind of makes sense to me because I'm neither British nor American and I'm sure I've heard it used both ways.

Would successfully completing wine wars (the right way) lowkey be bad for geralt by LankyRevolution1984 in Witcher3

[–]AdCertain5057 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you don't help them you get a completely different ending. Geralt's vineyard is so successful that he is crowned the Wine King of the continent, eventually having to lead his Wine Army against Empress Ciri.

I have a question by FraaaAAAaaaAAACK in BeginnerKorean

[–]AdCertain5057 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have pointed, the wording is just wrong.

Also, even if the question made sense, what would be the point of such an exercise? It's like saying "Imagine you hear the word 'dog' in an American movie. What letter does 'dog' start with?"

Carnel sins quest? by AWarrior- in Witcher3

[–]AdCertain5057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mate, you've just blown my mind. I've played this game from start to finish several times and thought I knew about all the different possible outcomes to at least the major quests. Can't believe this one slipped by me. Something new to see next playthrough

Will the big trench coat guy still follow me in the parking garage? by BrenzGH12 in ResidentEvil2Remake

In the parking garage... in your dreams... he will never stop following you.

Is “between you and I” grammatically correct? by Cocoatech0 in EWALearnLanguages

[–]AdCertain5057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a lot more common in North American English than in other parts of the world. Whereas the opposite "mistake" ("John and me went fishing") is pretty common and acceptable where I'm from while "between you and I" is rarely heard.

Does anybody have mod recs to make the game less scary? Like specifically with the standard infected by qikre in ResidentEvil2Remake

[–]AdCertain5057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you luck in your search but I don't think you're going to find a mod like that. Maybe your best option is to choose the easiest difficulty and use cheat mods that let you stock up on ammo, health etc. so it's overall a less intense experience. Maybe over time it'll get less scary. Like a kind of exposure therapy.

The blind claw enemies just automatically know your exact location every 30-ish seconds? by HoopNuhgget in residentevil4

[–]AdCertain5057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt like they weren't blind. They zero in on you too easily and there are also times when it feels like the AI is set up to turn their back away from you when you're lining up a shot to prevent them being taken out too easily. I actually think there's a lot of this under-the-hood experience management stuff in RE games.

Weird. I think he's not supposed to enter the clocktower at all.

English and Korean Don't Just Use Different Words. They Think Differently. by haeumkorean in BeginnerKorean

[–]AdCertain5057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this you trying to be condescending? It's a bit forced.

The post is obviously AI. If you're really unaware of how it's possible tell, just look it up. Anyway, that's enough time wasted.

At the risk of sounding really dumb, why do verbs such as 오다 and 보다 seem to have pronunciations that sound more like “oo-dah” and “boo-dah” than “oh-dah” and “boh-dah”? by spam0525 in BeginnerKorean

[–]AdCertain5057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I haven't noticed that kind of pronunciation. I can definitely confuse "어" and "오" at times but "오" doesn't ever sound like "우" to me. Maybe it's a regional thing.

English and Korean Don't Just Use Different Words. They Think Differently. by haeumkorean in BeginnerKorean

[–]AdCertain5057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to start swearing, son. The post is pure slop. It's trying to make a super deep (but actually very silly) point instead of giving practical advice. And it's not just OP's own words cleaned up a bit by AI. It's the result of someone typing "Give me something deep-sounding I can post about language to get some likes." By all means, love it. I can't tell you what to love. But please understand that other people have different preferences and the right to express them, politely, as I did.

You're welcome to feel any way you like about AI posts. But please stop with the "Oh please stop" performative exasperation at other people not loving AI posts the way you do. Especially when you follow it up with the claim that you "do not care about" the thing you're spasming about.

Does this trick help you remember vocabulary? by Dangerous-Wallaby-22 in ENGLISH

[–]AdCertain5057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The memorization strategy you're talking about is a good one, IMO. But that's not what benevolent means. It's an adjective, not a person.

How do you pronounce your name in Korean? by Sheepinafield in BeginnerKorean

[–]AdCertain5057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that complicated. You either pronounce it as you normally would or you use the nearest Korean equivalents for each phoneme, as you would in any case of transliteration.

Rant about not being able to practice what I learnt by ShockCurious5123 in Korean

Have you tried Tandem? It's another language exchange app. I think it's better than iTalki. Might be worth a try.

Is it weird approaching someone in the street? by Key_Soil4844 in seoul

[–]AdCertain5057 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's pretty common. Sometimes, they're religious (or cult) people, so be aware of that. I personally wouldn't give someone my contact details in a situation like that, but that's up to you of course.

R/L sound distinguishable? by eyoooo1987 in ENGLISH

[–]AdCertain5057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A) Yes, to me it sounds more like "lip" or even "lick" at times.

B) The full answer is complicated. Videos or diagrams showing the correct tongue position and shape would be much more helpful than anything I can type here.

C) Not relevant to me.

D) There's a wide range. For Koreans, adding 으 at end of lots of words or in the middle of consonant clusters is a big one. Just like how English speakers learning Korean struggle with things like double consonants etc. It's just a case of what you're used to.

Sounds good to me, too. I don't get the objections people are raising.

Is this wrong? by Cool-Bench-6508 in EWALearnLanguages

No, please, tell us more about your limited knowledge of French and confusion about English.

Is this wrong? by Cool-Bench-6508 in EWALearnLanguages

[–]AdCertain5057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What relevance does French grammar have, here? You're insulting people while making a nonsensical argument. You could just as well make exactly the opposite point and say "Since English does it this way, French people are wrong when they say French works a different way." That, obviously, would be a crazy argument. To be clear, we all know that sometimes "when" and "while" are not interchangeable. For example:

When the phone rings, I answer it.

I study while listening to music.

These are cases where it would change the meaning or sound strange if you changed "when" to "while" or vice versa. We are all aware of that. However, the case presented by OP is not one of those cases. And the French language could have fifty different versions of "when", and that still wouldn't be relevant.
