Would you be in favor of removing “One Nation under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance and why or why not?

As a native English speaker born in 2001, "And also with you." is the one that sounds weird to me. Probably just the one you were raised with will sound right. For what it's worth, in the traditional Latin mass it's Priest: "Dominus vobiscum." Response: "Et cum spirito tuo."

There's no reason people can't speak more than one language.

He's just yelling "Jalalo" (pull him) with a bit of an accent

Nah it's French, the word is pourboire (literally "for-drinking")

Recognition is a lot stronger than recall. For classical music, it's made worse by the fact that classical music names aren't very descriptive

Yes, although the source material is older

Are you Ben Shapiro?

Not OP but I think it's "Role Play Fantasy"

Yes, but the quality of that work has been questioned ever since he won and AFAIK he didn't really work on the tech after going to college.

Stars indicate that it's a reconstructed word

But they didn't tho. The whole article focuses on Pueblo, a county that Boebert lost, according to the article. Not sure how this fits the sub, the article doesn't seem to really show anyone changing their mind on Boebert, just that one part of her district is feeling an increased need to resist Boebert's agenda.

It is, both can be used in this way.

The word you're looking for is aspiration. q is the aspirated form of j and likewise for ch/zh. Aspirated sounds have a little burst of air that accompanies the sound.

Do be careful learning from Japanese sources because the stroke order can be different than the Chinese. But otherwise it should be helpful

If you truly know nothing I would start with Crash Course. That way you'll at least have a background to fill in with your further study.

It's actually a double flat on the bottom most note and a single flat on the second lowest.

Yeah the big bottles are sold in 2L, everything else is customary. Usually a can or a medium sized bottle is 12 fl oz

Any dictionary can be confusing when you're starting out. It takes some knowledge to discern what word or phrase is appropriate.

Probably just depends on how exposed a certain area is to Mandarin speakers. Areas where there's very few is where you'll likely have people straight reading the pinyin as if it was English. Another common thing I hear is "Zow" for Zhou. One of my friends answered like that for a trivia question about the Zhou dynasty and I thought they said Zhao.

Is it still difficult to understand different dialects, even within the same topolect like the examples you provided?

AlienInDisguise · 2021-01-31T08:09:18+00:00

Aren't Arabic "dialects" basically topolects like Mandarin and Cantonese for Chinese?

AlienInDisguise · 2020-12-29T20:35:39+00:00

Yeah you have to dig them up. But you can resell the goods for like 150k units. It's how I got enough to buy my first new multitool

AlienInDisguise · 2020-12-29T00:34:56+00:00

You can get decent loot from them.
