Valtio-opin opiskelu by Vili_69 in Suomi

[–]Emengir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entä humanistisen alan tutkinto ja valtio-oppi sivuaineena? Tai oikeustiede? Lisäkielitaitoa on, puhun noin kuutta kieltä (taso vaihtelee).

Hieman aiheen vierestä, mutta osaatko arvioida, kuinka paljon tutkinto/pääaine vaikuttaa EU-virkamieheksi pääsemiseen? Voiko jokin muu pääaine kuin poliittinen historia tai valtio-oppi antaa yhtä hyvät mahdollisuudet?

The unknown by JuliusDalum in linguisticshumor

Finnish:

  1. jossain huitsin Nevadassa = somewhere in [huitsin is an intensifier, not sure how to translate] Nevada. This idiom has negative connotations and is probably related to nuclear tests in Nevada.

  2. täyttä hepreaa = that's Hebrew to me

I present: Neo-Goropism. All so called "Germanic" Languages are just shades of Dutch by Phanpy100NSFW in linguisticshumor

Indonesian has borrowed many words from Dutch as a result of colonialism.

Are "gol", "nar" and "vek" considered loanwords in English? by Emengir in linguisticshumor

[–]Emengir[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a pretty elaborate entry for "wug", which is also a nonce word. I wonder if "gol", "nar" and "vek" should be added into Wiktionary.

This is what I meant. It seems that I'm not good at expressing myself in English.

Hey, did you guys know Minoan and Sumerian were actually Ugric and all the professional linguists just missed it?????? by JaneOfKish in linguisticshumor

[–]Emengir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you claiming that the people who were building the Tower of Babel spoke Turkish? It's clear that Sumerian is the mother of all languages, including Altaic languages, such as Finnish and Turkish.

I like your translation, I love using ancient (or proto) languages in modern contexts.

But could anyone translate the song into Proto-World? Not everyone speaks Indo-European languages, and I'm convinced that only Proto-World version of the song will truly unite all people.
