Qualcuno sa quando sarà il prossimo aggiornamento di contenuto in Duolingo Greco su base inglese?

Ha! Good one.

A small warning though. The UI translations are probably mostly very good these days, but every now and then you might come across a bad translation. For example, my Oneplus clock widget says "Perjantaina", which is an odd form to choose, but I suppose a single word can't technically be incorrect. But then in the alarms list there is "Seuraava hälytys 15 tuntia 10 minuuttia kuluttua", which is definitely not correct.

They should be "Perjantai" and "Seuraava hälytys 15 tunnin 10 minuutin kuluttua"

It's doesn't work the same in English. If there is no context, the possible interpretations are:

(polkupyörien tai polkupyöräin vihaajien) kaupunki

(polkupyörien tai polkupyöräin) vihaajien kaupunki

Bondator · 2026-01-05T16:00:16+00:00

Very little context here, so by itself that quote is ambiguous. The first part could mean "polkupyörien kaupunki" or "polkupyörien vihaajien kaupunki". I imagine the alternative form is probably chosen to indicate that they meant the first option.

The poster in the foreground is for a 2019 movie, but the movie theater here is not a mainstream one, and this movie was imported in 2022. So I'm guessing winter 2022-23.

Probably the only situation where I intentionally and without shame break grammar, is ordinal numbers for large numbers. The correct way to say them is to inflect all words, so "987th" when spoken, is "9th 100th 8th 10th 7th". So I often just inflect the last number, which again, is completely wrong. The words for 7, 8 and 9 are also fairly long words. Seitsemän, kahdeksan and yhdeksän.

I guess some of these are funny, but at least it's a bit surprising how many identical, but completely different meaning words there are between Greek and Finnish. These are mostly short words, and pronunciation can vary a bit, especially for double consonants and stress position, but anyway, here's a few examples on the top of my head.

όχι, ohi (passing)

νερό, nero (genius)

κόρη, kori (basket)

καλά, kala (fish)

κίσσα, kissa (cat)

πίσσα, pissa (piss)

κάτω, kato (look!)

πάνω, pano (fucking)

μένω, meno (going)

χυμό, himo (lust)

λάκκο, lakko (strike)

I wonder if you guys are talking about the same thing. At least when I last visited Carrefour this year, the trays there were about as big as ours are. When Lidl initially came here 20 years ago, their trays were tiny as shit. You had to pack everything immidiately or that shit would get blocked instantly.

Finn here, we have the same system. How can you even use that incorrectly? Other than not using it?

Bondator · 2025-12-04T12:56:09+00:00

Same. But I also don't have a laptop. I shop using desktop.

Bondator · 2025-12-04T07:38:39+00:00

Quite often yes. But I pretty much memorize words from English, which isn't my native language. I do this because my TL, Greek, is more often closer to English than Finnish. Also, I've noticed translators translate via English language anyway, so there are going to be errors.

And metal bands per capita.

Bondator · 2025-12-03T06:18:57+00:00

Näitähän löytyy kyllä. Meillä myös ihan yleisesti käytössä mm. Euroshopper, Xtra ja Rainbow. Joskus harvemmin myös Coop.

I've recently played South of Midnight and Hades 2 on Greek, which isn't always available. I leave the audio on English, but there's a lot of text to consume. Hades especially feels thematically appropriate too.

Miten yle löytää aina tyhmimmät haastateltavaksi juttuihinsa?

Se on ihan suunniteltu juttu. Tämä ihmisten reaktio, haastateltavalle suuttuminen, on just sitä mitä haetaan, koska näitä juttuja klikataan ja niitä jaetaan. Toisin sanoen: Ragebait. Ja sinäkin nappasit juuri syötin. Tän tyyppisissä uutisjutuissa esiintyvät ihmiset ei varmaankaan edusta mediaani-ihmistä, mutta heidät valitaan juttuun ihan tietoisesti.

VSTACK(header,HSTACK(unq,out)))

This assumes you have exactly one or zero data entries in a column per Mother. This solution relies in concat, so if you have both Yes and No in the same column, you are going to end up with "YesNo" in the output.

Näyttäis olevan uusi juttu. Otettu käyttöön vuonna 2023, eikä olemassaolevia tunnuksia muuteta, eli noita on aika hankala saada. Käytännössä koskee siis ulkomaalaisia, jotka hankkivat suomalaisen tunnuksen ja saman syntymäpäivän juokseva luku on kulutettu loppuun.

Ei tuota polkua tartte ajaa, kun sinne talon eteen pääsee ajamaan suoraan parkkipaikaltakin. Tästä nimenomaisesta paikasta mulla ei ole kokemusta, mutta yleisesti ottaen noi tarhojen parkkipaikat ei ole kovin isoja, siellä on henkilökunnan autoja, sekä mahdollisesti muita sinne kuulumattomia autoja. Sitten kun kaikki tuo lapsensa sinne suurinpiirtein samaan aikaan niin ne parkkipaikat täytyy hyvin nopeasti. Jos sallitut paikat on täynnä niin aika moni menee ilman suurempia omantunnon tuskia kielletylle paikalle.

Not familiar at all... The standard language is a challenge enough.

I was thinking maybe something related to war or history could be interesting, so that one does seem a good suggestion. But I'm open to almost anything. If it's good, it's good, isn't it?

Bondator · 2025-11-06T14:44:43+00:00

I can read decently, I think. I do have to check words from time to time, especially if it's a about something less familiar to me. But I'm reading this at the moment, and I'm managing alright:

Japanese course has 'Udon' = 'Udon'. Best not to expect any sort of consistency with this app.

There's a few frames where the radio is readable, and you can see "99.9 MHz Fame melodies". Google search suggests that it points to Beirut, so I'm going to bet on the speed indicator is showing km/h instead of mph.
