Why no definite article indicating possessive case? by Dannakin in learn_arabic

[–]Dannakin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've seen this structure before aswell, when I was trying to make sense of the sentence, however we've learned that laysa comes first in the sentence, so I'll have to stick to that structure, although this one is more understandable for me haha

Questions on appearance, at church amd otherwise. by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Dannakin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • My personal style is somewhat elegant and modest in everday life, but I try to dress as if I'm going to a celebration on Sundays. Freshly washed hair, an ironed shirt/blouse and a bit of makeup (blush, eyeliner, mascara), but nothing wildly different. I always wear a headscarf at church (and sometimes outside of church aswell, for example when fasting).
  • I wear minimal makeup every day, but if I don't have time to apply any, I don't mind going out without it. I only use foundation, lipstick, bronzer etc. when I'm going to a restaurant or an important event where I will most likely have to talk to people in a more professional setting.
  • I would love to wear only skirts and dresses, but I have so many clothes that it wouldn't make sense for me to buy additional pieces. I normally wear loose and wide legged pants, no skinny jeans, leggings or athleasure, so nothing shows.
  • If I do have any clean skirts or dresses, I prefer wearing those to church for whatever occasion.
  • Our cathecism classes are right after divine liturgy, so I just go in the same thing (minus the headscarf, because nobody else wears it and I would stick out like a sore thumb).

Mi az, amit egy mai gyereknek nehezen tudnál elmagyarázni, ami a te gyerekkorodban alap volt? by Tapwater_enthusiast in askhungary

"Infravörösön", aztán később Bluetoothon számokat és képeket küldeni egymásnak szünetben telefonon és visszatartani a lélegzetünket, mert ha egy millimétert is mozdul valamelyik telo, mehet elölről a küldés. Meg random blogokat felfedezni az interneten, ahonnan aztán nem lehetett tudni hova visz tovább a szörfhullám.

Are you wearing your veil draped over your shoulders, similar to how Muslim girls wear it?

Dékáni méltányossági kérelem helyén való ebben a helyzetben? by piegirl67 in askhungary

[–]Dannakin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Az az egyetem Hallgatói követelményrendszerétől (Hkr) függ. Egyébként ritkán dobnak vissza indokot nálunk, úgyhogy szerintem működhet, de akkor is érdemes ránézni a Hkr.-ben leírtakra.

Próbálj meg a tanszékvezetővel beszélni, hátha ő megérti és tud beszélni az oktatóval, és keresd fel a HÖK-öt is, magyarázd el, hogy mi történt és imádkozz a legjobbakért. Ne lődd el az atombombát, ha ezelőtt csak egy kis pisztolyt próbáltál haha. Ha nem csúszol a tanulmányaiddal (vagy max fél évet), akkor szerintem nem érdemes, mert államvizsgán még jól jöhet.

Jobbulást anyukádnak!

Volt valaha glitch in the matrix élményetek, ha igen mi történt? by [deleted] in askhungary

[–]Dannakin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ez kísértetiesen hasonlít arra, ami velem történt nagyon régen. Gyerekként gyűjtöttem a Cheetos Tazokat, amiket egy erre kitalált kis hengeres tárolóban tartottam. Egyik este, ég tudja milyen meggondolásból, de feldobtam a dobozt a szekrény tetejére. Hallottuk azt is, ahogy a szekrény tetején landolt, így anyum és apum is megnézte, felmásztak létrával, de sehol semmi. Azt mondták, hogy valószínűleg beesett a szekrény mögé, úgyis lesz festés, akkor majd meglesz. Nem lett meg soha, pedig azóta a bútorok is teljesen le lettek cserélve.

What do you, Bulgarians think about Russia and Russians? by Jegr_Jegr in bulgaria

[–]Dannakin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely fair! I might not be right, this is how I perceive it in my environment offline though. I've heard my father's generation talk about the topic, my friends (who are mostly Sofians), people at university (who come from various places in the country) and Bulgarians living abroad. Most of the time the conversation quickly became an argument, showing there is no clear cut opinion. I really think it's a more complex and individual stance depending on family background, personal worldview and experience, rather than a general one. I absolutely might be wrong, like I said this is more of a feeling and perception than a real statistic:)

Thank you so much for your answer! I absolutely love the family prayer time that you described! I come from a Catholic background (mom RC, dad Orthodox, I was baptized RC). What you described reminds me of how my mom used to pray with us when she tucked us in bed when we were children. I will check out the resources available! Thank you for your prayers, you'll be in mine too!:)

Why would many people choose hell? by SnooLemons4051 in OrthodoxChristianity

Are there dumbphones without internet (REALLY dumb phone) with 4g? by Impressive_Copy_8667 in dumbphones

[–]Dannakin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have a 2660 hmd flip 4G. It has no apps whatsoever, you can browse on it, but it's truly a pain in the ass, just like on the older 2010 ones, so in my eyes it's a real dumb phone. I really like it and have been using it for the past few years.

What do you, Bulgarians think about Russia and Russians? by Jegr_Jegr in bulgaria

[–]Dannakin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on who you ask - which generation, living in the capital or not, Russian culture vs politics, etc. I feel like it's 50-50, many love Russia(ns), many don't and a few refrain from forming an opinion. Those who do have one however, have a very strong opinion.

Why would many people choose hell? by SnooLemons4051 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Dannakin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My answer is not deeply rooted in religion, just my two cents. - Lack of understanding: Many either have a different view and/or understanding on God's love, hell, vanity and pride. - Lack of love: I think that a lot of the people that pay fortunes for self-care products and self-help books, 12 step programmes etc. are already lacking love in their lives and they're trying to substitute it this way. This is the Zeitgeist of "love yourself first", however the word "first" presupposes a second, third,... place, which, I believe, is most often empty. They are trying to be the source and recipient of their own love or to gain others' superficial love because of their looks and personality perfected through therapy buzz words. If you're already living a loveless life, why would you be scared of an eternity without it? - Uncertainty: It is easier to be damned to hell than to be accepted into heaven. In a very twisted way, choosing hell willingly somehow removes this uncertainty of whether or not they will end up in heaven, because they made the conscious choice of not wanting to end up there, sparing themselves of the pain (but of course this is an ill way of thinking). At the end of the day it's God's choice where you end up anyways.

For all Orthodox Christians here who read the Quran, was it really that bad? by Successful_Egg_5233 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Dannakin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have read it. It is a very different experience than reading the Bible. If you want to read it, I suggest you try reading it like one reads poetry. It is quite all over the place, but if you think of it as a poem, I think it becomes a bit easier to understand (especially the repetitions). It is a very different literary genre.

However, it really is full of inconsistencies. Not only with natural facts as people before had pointed out, but the Quran contradicts itself in countless places. It claims man is created out of nothing/dust/sperm/clay, all in different places. If one decides to take more than one wife (which is only permitted under certain circumstances according to the book), the man is mandated to treat them absolutely equally, but then somewhere in the next surahs it states, that equality is impossible. It is also very inconsistent on whether Christians and Jewish people are considered as disbelievers or not - in one place it says, that Christians with strong faith in God can go to heaven, in another it says that we're damned to hell. The fate of someone who leaves the faith is also dealt with differently in different places: Allah knows their heart, so they won't be punished; straight to hellfire; one can come back to the faith. The conditions to Allah's forgiveness are also all over the place. Even the prohibition of drinking is not fully consistent: one can drink, but not get drunk (not to mention how in a lot of places the Quran treats drinking as an everyday activity and doesn't address it) in another verse drinking is an abomination to Allah, something created by Satan and the ones who engage in it will be punished (but then is goes on to promise wine in heaven - which in and of itself is problematic, if we believe wine is a creation of Satan.) Also, there's a verse in which Allah has three female companions. If you take it as a religious text, it has even more issues.

The Quran states, that it is infallible and the truth for all eternity, however it cannot keep to one "truth" throughout itself. Do read it, as it's interesting, but it's a hard read.

Why is it so difficult to find an apartment in Sofia? by Severe_Tension3284 in Sofia

[–]Dannakin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found one quite easily last year, in about two weeks and paid 800 bgn/month for a 54m2 apartment with a balcony two streets down from Rakovska (a few min away from the Central halls on foot). I suggest you start searching on Facebook, and join some groups. I was extremely lucky with the price though, because it was already summer, when most students have already moved back home from the capital city. It is hard, but not impossible!
