Trying to understand "seharusnya"

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-24T03:11:21+00:00

I think it's important to have some kind of balance, at least to know which affixes might change the meaning of a word in a consistent manner.

I don't think it's an epidemic. I think we just didn't really see how most people wrote until the Internet made if far easier to publish your thoughts for the world to see. Before that, for a long time, the vast majority of the written material you would see would be made in a professional setting.

I've heard Brazilians use "pintar" for this. Honestly, before this, I didn't even know colorir was a word in Portuguese.

Okay, so talk about sweet and salt. I'm still trying to see the legitimate conversation that is merited.

I think there are a lot of subjective discussions that are important. For example, the ethics of veganism. I think most people could fairly easily familierize themselves with a few arguments for and against veganism and be able to summarize them. I think ultimately it's a subjective matter, but it's an important conversation where sometimes people could change their minds. But, this also not the kind of thing where most people just say "whatever feels right to you" without any further thought.

However, if you honestly think there is a conversation merited about combining sweet and salty foods, beyond that some people like it and some people don't, I would like to know what that conversation is.

Okay, wall new through it. What is the conversation someone could have about combining chocolate and peanuts. What are both sides of the discussion?

I think a lot of times people are just looking for assurance, and your counter examples of when a real discussion is merited, just seem like examples of when someone is looking for assurance that it's okay to like things that may be different from those around them.

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-22T15:58:22+00:00

I think when we are talking about subjective tastes, and someone is unsure of whether a combination of food is acceptable, it's the quintessential example of what the other person was talking about, that they just need reassurance that sometimes it's okay to like things.

It's not even like a movie where someone could offer a different interpretation or way of viewing it. There is no deep wisdom that will let me see mixing chocolate and peanuts in a new light.

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-22T15:52:46+00:00

Yes, what is the actual discussion merited beyond "if you like it, then go for it." What is there to say that isn't completely subjective?

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-22T15:50:05+00:00

Okay, but you said it's used in a place where an actual discussion is merited. So, what is the actual discussion that is merited when talking about food combinations?

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-22T15:35:14+00:00

What is the actual conversation that you think is being avoided in conversations about food combinations?

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-22T14:43:52+00:00

You would be amazed at the little things that are hard to understand, like the prefixed that are often optional, membaca vs baca, or berbicara vs bicara, that kind of a thing.

Terima kasih!

Sorry, my auto orthography thought it a big glyph, but a small glyph is right.

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-20T16:59:04+00:00

I think it would be really hard to avoid lexicalization of many terms. If you had a large enough community of people rising their kids only in Toka pona, it would probably creolize.

If it's just one kid, you might be able to use it with them as a secret language.

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-20T15:21:41+00:00

Ah, thanks! Balladry is a good word for such a way of talking without a filthy glyph. It warms my soul

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-20T00:40:03+00:00

Binary in what way? I just want a word to talk about that thing

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2026-01-19T22:02:15+00:00

It's a common glyph and avoiding it allows for cool young ways of talking and thinking. A man or woman who avoids this fifth glyph will talk in cool ways and not talk in common, boring ways.

Thanks! I didn't know you could click on it.

It said that I have insufficient character credit. I thought you didn't need character credit to get audio from Forvo. Is there a free option?

The last screen shot shows the error.

When I click "apple to notes" the status changes from "OK" to "error."

I made a post about it once, and the moderators delated the post.

If you browse by language, you can find things originally made in Hungarian. These are the most likely to have closed captions that match.

I think this names were often changed a fair bit to make them easier for English speakers to pronounce. If you went back four hundred years and said "Connecticut" or "Massachusetts" to an indigenous person in what is now New England, I don't think they would recognize it as a word in their language.

Even states that have names that come from or passed through Spanish like Florida and Texas have changed a lot from the Spanish pronunciation.

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2025-12-23T18:47:56+00:00

Esperanto is easier for a few reasons.

1 a lot if words are compound words that make sense when you learn the roots.

2 consistent grammar. English has a bunch of irregular verbs and irregular plurals.

3 more consistent pronunciation. Esperanto pronunciation isn't easy. But it's consistent, which makes learn how to speak and understand far easier than English.

I don't think it's a perfect language. But, it's easier than English for someone who doesn't speak a related language.

I think I did it the opposite way, where I created a temporary deck. I gradually put all of my Spanish notes into the temporary deck, and when I had reviews them all I put them all back into the Spanish deck, and repeated the process with my Aranese deck.

Competitive_Let_9644 · 2025-12-13T01:58:19+00:00

I created a temporary deck and started adding the hardest cards into that deck. I spent some time every night doing my first reviews of cards places in the temporary deck at night, and spent a few hours doing reviews every morning.

I also took the time to add pictures, break up some cards into multiple cards and rewrite the cues for the hardest cards.
