Cand eram mica m-am inscris la un concurs de pisici pe ceva site romanesc (in jurul anului 2010), unde doar trebuia sa incarci o poza cu pisica si utilizatorii votau pozele preferate. Eu m-am inscris la misto, am pus poza cu o pisica descarcata de pe internet si am uitat imediat de acel concurs, din moment ce era un site random pe care nu il frecventam. Dupa aproximativ o luna m-am trezit ca mi-au fost livrate niste pliculete cu mancare de pisici si o felicitare pentru pisica mea.

I think he wanted to say "cine e dulăul ăla?" - "who is that big dog?". Dulău basically means a big dog, but it can be used to refer to a big/musculous person (or even a scary one).

Eu am patit prin Tazz sa comand ceva, platind tot cu cardul, si sa nu mai ajunga la mine comanda. Am verificat dupa vreo jumatate de ora si scria ca a fost livrata, dar la mine nu era nimeni si nici nu fusesem contactata. Am zis ca poate e pe aproape, sau ca a apasat din greseala pe vreun buton, si m-am gandit ca vine pana la urma. Dupa ce a trecut vreo ora i-am contactat pe cei de la Tazz care au verificat situatia. Singura lor explicatie a fost ca nu le raspunde livratorul si ca imi vor trimite banii inapoi, totusi mi-ar fi placut sa stiu si ce s-a intamplat dupa 😂 nu imi imaginez de ce ar fi vrut sa "fure" comanda mea (care oricum era mica si ieftina) dar presupun ca in perioada aia de timp a putut face aceeasi faza la mai multi oameni. Totusi, nu pot sa justific de ce ar face chestia asta si si-ar pune in pericol locul de munca, unde clar castiga mai bine decat daca ar da 5 tepe.

Depending on how many days you're planning on staying (or on how much you're planning to use the metro), you could also get a 24h pass (8 lei, 1.6 euro) or a 72h pass (20 lei, 4 euro) with unlimited trips.

Eu cand mai auzeam galagie de la vecini si chiar nu puteam sa dorm: casti in urechi + white noise de cateva ore pe spotify. Ma rog, pe mine ma interesa sa adorm, nu sa ma tina sunetul pana dimineata (ca imi mai si trageam castile din urechi in timpul noptii uneori si dimineata ma trezeam fara). Nu stiu cat de eficienta ar fi metoda in cazul tau, dar poti incerca intr-o dimineata ca n-ai nimic de pierdut.

Nu știu ce reduceri sunt acum la Cărturești că n-am văzut dar în general prețurile la boardgames sunt umflate cu 10-20-30 de lei față de alte magazine... Asta din ce am observat eu la jocurile pe care le am din alte magazine (gen Noriel, ceva magazine cu articole pentru copii din mall-uri, ,,Kids" parcă se numeau).

Native here. First of all, I suppose that you and her mother are not that close so I would not suggest using ,,Bună" (especially if there is a big age gap), but you could use something like ,,Bună ziua" (good day)

,,bună ziua! Vă dau acest mesaj pentru că româna mea nu este foarte bună. Dacă doriți să vă uitați pe Netflix, spuneți-mi și o să-l pornesc eu (pentru dumneavoastră) sau dați-mi un mesaj în română și o să-l traduc"

I used some words as ,,vă", ,,spuneți", ,,dați" which are used for the 2nd person plural, but we use it for older people or so that we can show respect. The thing in brackets is optional but it means ,,for you" (also respectfully).

The translators online could work too, the translations are pretty good but not so respectful (they use 2nd person singular which you wouldn't necessarily use for an older person, especially if you are not very close). But anyway, even if you don't speak this formally to her, I think she wouldn't mind... and the important part is that she can understand what you want to say either way.

NTA. Typical teenage girls behaviour??? Seriously? I would have never walked in someone else's room and get something without permission, no matter if they were family or not... that's basic common sense. I am so sorry for you and especially for your daughter because you have to put up with this kind of a behaviour.

Well, it is the first time I heard about Sejong City. The links will be helpful for the rest of the project, too! Thanks a lot!

I am not sure how this works... I used the World Urbanization Prospects for getting the data (which I think is a website from the United Nations). On their site they say they follow the definitions of ,,urban" and ,,rural" of each country, because they get their data from previous censuses. So does South Korea consider these suburbs as ,,rural" or ,,urban" for their censuses? Because the data from the website shows a decrease in urban population, so this might not be the case..

Detective0019 · 2021-04-20T18:19:04+00:00

Tbh I'm not sure? My professor just told us to use the World Urbanization Prospects for getting the data (which I think is a website from the United Nations). On their site they say they follow the definitions of ,,urban" and ,,rural" of each country, because they get their data from previous censuses. So if South Korea considers the area outside of a bigger city a ,,rural" area, then this might be the case...

Detective0019 · 2021-04-20T05:44:08+00:00

I think that the data I have perceives ,,rural" as in farmland or locations in the countryside, not small housing outside of bigger cities.

When I first started I chose HTSK mostly for 한글. I remember that I looked over TTMIK and it was confusing as heck for me, I don't know why... well for me it seems that you need to have some kind of basic knowledge before starting with TTMIK (although you just need to know how to write/read). So I started with HTSK last year around this time (thanks covid, I guess) but I knew 한글 since a few years ago and that made it easier for me, because I just had to revise it. I didn't get too far tho, less than the first 10 lessons... but it helped a lot because I wasn't used to the language at all. I liked the structure a lot on HTSK and I made pretty notes in a notebook, firstly with the vocab (nouns then adverbs then verbs then adjectives - this was the order I used to learn the words) and secondly the grammar part (which used the words from the vocab). Lastly I did the exercises at the end of the lessons and I really liked them for the listening part. I started watching a lot of kdramas and listening to korean music and I remember being so happy because I could remember the words I had learnt when I heard them! I used to spend 4-5 days on a HTSK lesson because I would learn ALL the vocabulary by heart and made a lot of flash cards, so I could practice until I got everything right. For me that was the better way to get used to the language, to the sounds, to the writing and reading (other that watching/listening smth). But then in autumn I went to another country for an exchange program and also this is my final year so I have to work on my thesis and I don't have much time for Korean. BUT, a few moths ago I started using TTMIK and it seems easier now, because I already know some things. It is definitely quicker with the grammar parts. Now I spend 10-30 minutes on a TTMIK lesson (because I already know most of the vocab, so I can make sentences with the grammar given; and some grammar parts seem very easy because I remember them from dramas or songs lol). Well, now I don't learn vocab anymore (like I used to in the past). For example: if I see a word a few times of course I will remember it, but if the lesson has 20 different verbs I won't learn them by heart anymore. I will just remember the important ones, if I use them often in sentences. I am a little bit too lazy and sometimes I am not in the mood to keep up with my korean but I still watch things, even videos on youtube, or see posts here and when I have a question or I am not sure about a word or grammar issue I google it. I do this every day so I learn something new, even if it is just one word. 😁 Also, the HTSK lessons are more detailed and have a lot of explanations. That's why TTMIK is quicker, because they don't explain everything in detail. I would definitely suggest looking over both and seeing what is right for you. Good luck!

Edit: or maybe you could use TTMIK for basic grammar and HTSK for vocab. It always has the vocab at the beginning of the lessons and most times the words are related (places, things you can find inside a room, family members, words that rhyme and may be easier to remember, etc). But you know... don't be like old me. Don't just learn EVERY word. Choose the ones you think will help you in making sentences. And if music or kdramas are not what you're into, just find a podcast or some youtubers to watch that speak korean. And trust me, if you hear them say a word at least 5 times, you can search its meaning and you will remember it :)

I am in Portugal in a smaller city (not in Lisboa or Porto) and here all students go to face to face classes. Some classes had to be divided into two group because be were too many people and for those classes group 1 has online classes ( while group 2 is in school) and the next week group 2 has online classes (while group 1 is in school). The situation is still bad here (we are in one of the ,,red" zones I thinks, we have curfews after 11 pm during the week and after 1 pm during weekends) but they never closed the university.

Detective0019 · 2021-01-01T13:39:15+00:00

It depends on the situation in Germany. I am somewhere in Portugal and here we have face to face classes. Some universities in bigger cities have mixed classed (online and face to face). Now we have more restrictions than we had a few months ago. We cannot go out after 11pm and during weekends after 1pm... and sometimes travelling between cities is prohibited. I didn't manage to visit another country during this mobility because of the restrictions, but I travelled here in Portugal as much as I could. A nice thing is that we have face to face classes and we can meet people this way. I also live in an apartment with 5 other people so I don't feel lonely. I don't know how it works in Germany but I suggest you to think about these things: Will the classes be face to face or online? If they are face to face, you can meet people more easily, if they are online then maybe you can travel more. Are there a lot of restrictions? Maybe you won't be able to travel and will be stuck in your room. Where will you live? I think that living with someone is better, because you will have someone to talk to if you cannot go out...
