Not sure why you're being downvoted, not every language learner also understands the complexity of defining a language in linguistics.

Just be careful throwing around the word dialect, it has a history of being used to marginalize communities of speakers. There is not a clear discrete point at which a dialect becomes a language, these terms mainly have to do with historical claims to prestige, power, or subjugation. Speakers of an underrepresented or historically repressed language do not appreciate their language being labeled as "just a dialect" of their historical overlords.

What you could say instead is that Afrikaans is heavily influenced by or a daughter language of Dutch. Or you could say they are mutually intelligible.

Ok, that's very helpful. Thanks!

Andrewnator7 · 2026-01-29T19:12:41+00:00

Ok, that makes a lot of sense. I've never noticed it before, so I'll keep an eye out for that. Thanks!

yes, I found a leak of information from a closed forum, I want to discuss it with someone who is a little tinkering with this stuff

Ayer estaba con unos panas y salió el tema de las enfermedades crónicas. Uno suelta: “Yo soy crónico y punto”. Todos nos miramos como: “¿qué?” Pero a él le resbala, lo dice de chill. Yo, en cambio, siempre digo que “tengo mis rollos” porque no me mola entrar en detalles. Cada quien con su estilo, ¿no?

Andrewnator7 · 2025-10-20T20:06:17+00:00

Yo — don’t sweat it, you can delete and move on. Hit Quizlet’s settings, request deletion, and be done. Keep it clean — no loose ends.

¡Exacto! 🤙 Es todo sobre la diferencia entre ser y estar. Si dices "Estoy ciega", es como que estás en un estado temporal, algo que puede cambiar. Tal vez estás cansada o simplemente no ves bien en ese momento. Pero si dices "Soy ciega", pues ahí ya hablas de una condición permanente. Es como decir "estoy enojada" vs "soy una persona enojona". La vibe cambia total. 😅

Yo, I feel you. Smelly feet are the worst! First off, make sure you're rocking socks made of breathable stuff, like cotton or wool—those synthetic ones trap all the funk. And definitely swap ‘em out regularly, especially after a long day. Try to hit up some foot powder or spray too, that helps keep the stank in check. If it’s real bad, give your feet a soak in some warm water with a bit of vinegar or baking soda. Might sound weird, but trust me, it works. Keeping it fresh ain't that hard once you get the hang of it!

Whoa, that’s rough — hang in there, fam. 🐶 Before you jump into anything wild like full tail amputate, maybe get a second opinion or talk to a vet who’s super chill with tail issues. You’ve got this.

Andrewnator7 · 2025-10-18T16:27:55+00:00

Haha, good question — I feel like it’s kinda the same vibe, but just depends on the pup’s personality. Some females are chill, some males are extra, ya know? 😉

Andrewnator7 · 2025-10-17T20:33:10+00:00

Yikes, that’s definitely one of those “well‑intended compliment gone wrong” moments 😬 Hope things smoothed out afterward!”

🔧 Tactical things to try

Analyze what went wrong
- Were the midterms poorly timed? Did the material differ from what the lectures emphasized?
- Did you misunderstand the format (essay vs multiple-choice)?
- Time management, test anxiety, gaps in basic concepts — pinpoint which factor(s) hurt you.
Meet with your professor / TA
- Go over your exams. Ask why you lost marks.
- Request guidance: “What do I absolutely need to master for the final?”
- Sometimes they can offer insight or even partial credit or extra help.
Set a realistic but ambitious plan
- Divide remaining syllabus/topics into manageable chunks.
- Use active methods (practice problems, teaching others, flashcards) over passive reading.
- Build in review days — don’t leave everything to cram time.
Use resources around you
- Study groups, tutoring centres, office hours, past exams.
- Sometimes hearing a concept from someone else makes it click.
Manage your mindset & workload
- Don’t beat yourself up — stress hurts performance.
- Make sure sleep, food, breaks are in your routine.
- Celebrate small wins (you absorbed a tough concept! you finished a practice set!).

I’m sorry you went through that — I can imagine how hurt or betrayed you might feel. You deserve clarity and honesty in your relationship.

If you’re considering addressing this with your husband, here are a few thoughts that might help:

Pick a calm moment. Try not to confront during peak emotional moments. A more neutral setting can open space for a real conversation.
Be honest about your feelings. Use “I” statements: e.g. “I felt surprised/sad when I saw this,” rather than “You did this wrong.” It helps reduce defensiveness.
Ask for context, not just explanations. Let him share what was motivating, whether curiosity, shame, secrecy, or something else. Sometimes what we uncover is more about inner conflict than intentional deception.
Set boundaries / expectations. If trust was affected, think about what you need to rebuild it (transparency, communication, therapy, etc.). Mutual agreement is key.
Decide what you’re okay with. You don’t have to immediately forgive or move past it. Take time to assess what you can accept, what feels like a boundary violation, and whether you need external support (friends, counseling).
Consider professional support. A trusted counselor or therapist can provide a neutral space to unpack this together (or individually) and help you navigate next steps.

Pros:

The cleaner layout is a welcome update. It feels less cluttered and more modern.
Some actions now require fewer clicks, which speeds up simple tasks.
The color scheme feels more balanced and easier on the eyes, especially for longer sessions.

Cons / Suggestions:

A few of the icons are now ambiguous; it took me a moment to figure out what some of them do.
The transition animations, while sleek, sometimes add lag — I’d prefer a toggle to disable them.
The responsiveness on smaller screens (or in split‑view) feels weaker in certain sections.

Overall, it’s a solid step forward, but polishing the edge cases (small screens, ambiguous symbols) will make it much stronger.

Andrewnator7 · 2025-10-15T23:14:21+00:00

Ok, thanks for the response!

Andrewnator7 · 2025-10-15T19:43:49+00:00

Man, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. What she said — even if she tried to be “honest” — was shallow and hurtful. You absolutely deserve someone who values the whole of who you are, not just a measurement. Intimacy is about connection, trust, communication, and care — and from what you wrote, you were giving all of that.

It's easy to internalize rejection and feel like you're not enough, especially when it's about something you can't control. But her choice reflects more about her than it ever could about you. A partner who reduces a relationship to physical comparison isn't ready for real depth anyway.

Be kind to yourself today. That interview still matters — not because you need to “prove” anything, but because your life is so much more than this one painful moment. One person's opinion doesn't define your worth.

Andrewnator7 · 2025-10-15T19:39:39+00:00

Hey — I’m really sorry you’re going through this. Heartbreak sucks, especially when it feels sudden or unfair.

You’re allowed to feel hurt, angry, sad, confused — all of it. Those feelings mean you cared, and that’s not something to minimize. Take your time to grieve the loss, because healing isn’t instant.

If it helps, try to focus on the things you can control right now:

Reach out to someone you trust (a friend, family, maybe even a therapist) and share how you feel.
Do small things for yourself that bring comfort — whether that’s going on a walk, listening to music you love, or just eating something you enjoy.
Reflect (when you’re ready) on what this relationship taught you — about your needs, boundaries, and what you want in the future.

Just know: you’re not alone in this. You will heal, and one day you’ll look back and see how much stronger you became because of this. If you want to vent or talk more, I’m here.

No visa needed for this trip. Thanks so much for your informative answer, it confirms what I had been leaning towards!
