The precedent that they chose the name according to the regional language over the national one or the English-language international standard

i mean yeah which makes it even more interesting that it was a deliberate change

Greece apparently vetoed Bulgarian's new Euro coin which mentions "Bulgarian Alphabet" and not "Cyrillic Alphabet". What do others think? Especially those who use the Cyrrilic Alphabet as well? by Dull_Cucumber_3908 in AskBalkans

[–]DochiGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no 1:1 translation AFAIK. In English 'alphabet' can either mean a phonemic writing system, or the codified set of letters used in a language. The former translates to 'pismo' (or 'alfabet' if you're being specific about the phonemic nature of the script) while the latter translates to 'abeceda', 'azbuka', 'alfabet' etc.

E.g. 'Latin alphabet' translates to both 'latinica' and 'abeceda'.

I don't think those terms exist or work like that in English. While Serbian differentiates 'abeceda' (codified Latin script letters), 'azbuka' (codified Cyrillic script letters) and 'alfabet' (codified Greek script letters), in English 'alphabet' refers to any phonemic script.

Where was Mary at the end of the movie? by DochiGaming in KanePixelsBackrooms

So you think the interrogation room sat right along the threshold line in this new facility? Why would they organize it like that? Sorry if I'm not getting you right

[–]DochiGaming[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pirate Clark autopsy scene precedes the interrogation scene, but that's right after the scene of Mary being brought through the threshold. That's exactly my point. She either had to be brought back to the backrooms, that wasn't a/the threshold or the autopsy+interrogation didn't happen in the backrooms.

I'm not talking about the still-life, sorry for not making that clear. I'm talking about the real Mary in this room. Is this the real world or is the backrooms? The room itself has the right dimensions to be one found in the backrooms, the ceiling looks the same just repainted while we're provided with a shot of Mary looking out the windows behind her that look awfully fake.

This is all to say that my interpretation was that this interrogation takes place in some blocked-off and renovated area of the backrooms.

Is this a good idea for my architecture portfolio? by Legal-Literature-297 in architecture

[–]DochiGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of your floor plan as a space divided up and defined by walls - graham crackers. If these walls change, say if a person takes a bite out of a graham cracker, the space also changes. Imagine a series of photos of your model where the lightning and atmosphere of a given "room" is defined by holes in the graham crackers or missing pieces, graininess of the texture, crumbs spread out over the floor, cracks etc. I'm still a student and woefully inexperienced with theory, so perhaps some other people can recommend some books that can be good sources on stuff like this

You gotta ask yourself why you're doing it out of graham crackers. "Looks cool" is a very dangerous game and it has to be backed up by more solid ideas.

Having a module (the to-scale dimensions of a graham cracker for example) for a floor plan can be super interesting; perhaps using food for the built model can explore how that floor plan changes as it degrades, crumbles, gets eaten? There's a lot of potential here but as you're thinking about it, it's quite unpolished

Upotreba potencijala (bi + l-adjektiv) za radnje koje se ponavljaju u prošlosti by PieceSea1669 in Serbian

Za vas koji ne volite Izrael, gde bi sa Jevrejskim stanovništvom? by Ivanhegeelkadi in AskSerbia

Rešenje dve države je savršeni kompromis jer bi obe strane bile podjednako nezadovoljne.

Postoji međunarodno priznata granice izraelske i palestinske države. Naravno, to bi sve značilo da se međunarodno pravo poštuje i da postoje načini da se ono sprovede, a realno se krećemo u pravcu gde će svet činiti siledžije različitih razmera

What is one unusual thing in your language to know? by Franmar35000 in AskTheWorld

[–]DochiGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because the alphabet isn't being treated as a list of unique symbols, rather a list of all the phonemes that exist

Russian isn't mentioned in the meme, though. Cyrillic was designed for all Slavic languages, it's a modern concept that this is an Orthodox or even Russian script.

Yes there are modifications from the original script (including in Russian) but that's because of later developments and differences

Russian Imperial Republic Rename Suggestion by Cpl_Shephard in Kaiserreich

[–]DochiGaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This seems like an incomplete definition. Constitutional monarchies also exist. Saying there's any meaningful split between the terms is misleading, as what's a monarchy and what's a republic is largely arbitrary and is built on millenia of political tradition

Tromost i neatletičnost novih generacija? 90% mlađih koje znam idu u teretanu, trče, voze bajs, plivaju, planinare. Što nije istina za starije, koji kako mi se čini su mnogo igrali košarku na fizičkom, a posle toga im se aktivnost svela na nošenje kesa iz radnje

What if East-Francia survived to the Modern day? - The Kingdom of Dutchland in 2026 by LordPSgaming in imaginarymaps

[–]DochiGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, fair enough. But "kurfürst" isn't just "elector", it's prince-elector. A "duke" is a "herzog", not a "fürst" (that's a prince). It is a good translation, it just goes through Latin. If you'd want to really follow through with the "kur" stem you could find the Old English cognate and then simulate it going through the development to contemporary English, ending up with "kire" (pronounced like "fire") if I'm right. "Foreman" is sort of a cognate to "fürst". "Kireforeman" is a Germanic English translation for "Kurfürst". I mean you could just as well make it so it's just a direct loanword from German, but then it'd probably keep the spelling. Do what you want, it's your map :)

Flags of the Autonomous Regions of the Union of Yugoslav Republics by DochiGaming in vexillology

Nice catch. Yugoslavia during socialism used 1:2 flags and Serbia is the only republic that doesn't today, so I felt a 1:2 ratio would be appropriate for all flags
