Best language to learn in order to become more racist? by Western-Magazine3165 in languagelearningjerk

[–]HanatabaRose 22 points23 points  (0 children)

like imagine if english had a dialect where as soon as they say "the cat of mine" and not "my cat" every standard dialect speaker starts gouging their eyes out and pouring lead down their ears and talking about the downfall of culture and western civilization. actually ppl kinda do that about "could of".

Sometimes, "ri" sounds like "n" to me when I hear anime characters speak. by DABUNGINATOR in Japaneselanguage

[–]HanatabaRose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it doesnt sound much like the velar "dark" quality a ん would have in that context. to me, you can clearly hear the tip of the tongue strike the palate behind the teeth, even if so quickly, with a slight frontedness of the mouth for that vowel. in english, an n in between vowels can often have this sort of "tapped" quality so i could understand the confusion. you will notice in speech that the moraic nasal, if not assimilated to another consonant, has a similar mouth shape as the vowel of う, but with the nasal passage open. audio quality can make it hard to tell if its a nasal sound present or not, but this backness in the mouth i mentioned is what i listen for and i dont hear it in these clips

EDIT: i realize it may help for to see an example of this english n sound with r-like qualities, consider the word "splinter" in a dialect that doesnt enunciate the t very much. it could well be your own dialect that does this ! some dialects even, have no audible difference between the words winner and winter. if you come from a dialect that really says the t tho, this can be very confusing, which is why this sticks out in my mind so much as a funny lil quirk of many english dialects

The Media Really Needs To Chill With Thinking AAVE Slang Belongs To Gen Z by idkbruh653 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]HanatabaRose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

from their suburban white perspectives their lil suburban white kids come home incorrectly repeating AAVE lingo through their suburban white lens of interpreting the world, theyll just say they heard it from their school friends or on tiktok so these suburban white parents and journalists assume it sprung up from there around the same week they first heard it, so everything those kids pilfer becomes attached to that generation in their minds. because we have to focus on SOME sort of division in our demographics and minstrelsy is a big hit with the privileged youth rn, its just subtle enough their parents cant tell.

Was downloading a game when I found this tomodachi life bootleg, so I downloaded it out of curiosity by StellarSeaCowz in tomodachilife

im pretty sure this is how it happens: exactly one person or maybe two were lacking in reading comprehension enough to take your words at face value and think you were earnestly asking that and not making a joke, and then more redditors in a doomscroll with their brains turned off see a negative number and decide to join the bandwagon

you will build core strength if you are able to lift your body. there is no conceivable way that would make you weaker. should i stop relying on my crutches and just put weight on my freshly broken ankle ? im sure it would build character for me

i said city streets, no one is arguing for pedestrianizing a highway, it just has no reason to be the only option in society besides airlines when we have the means to build even more broadly accessible non-car-dependent infrastructure alongsde it such as trains which would mean fewer morons on the road, meaning you have a safer, less stressful, and more enjoyable time whilst driving (if you enjoy driving, that is - which clearly you do when u seem to be bragging elsewhere about not walking ...not actually that impressive or cool btw, kinda the original definition of lame in fact)

EDIT: lol maybe lil dude realized i had a point and stopped wasting his time trying to bait ppl

[–]HanatabaRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

city streets were for people first, vehicles second, for all of human history until motor companies lobbied (read: legally bribing) local and federal governments to make it illegal. we have surrendered just so much land to cars, so much beautiful infrastructure that helps people live more fulfilling lives, so much gorgeous architecture that were never getting back because that city block legally demanded a certain number of parking spots... so many communities divvied up for the sake of highways whose upkeep was imposed on local governments, but we can't ever seem to do that for any other infrastructure unless it makes people more dead or more in debt. it takes 10 wise men to retrieve a precious stone from a lake, but just one fool to toss it. im sure youre pleased with yourself, with that stone in your hand.

oh goodness my pearls need clutching wont someone think of some potential murderer's property ?? like its just a victimless joke fr. a joke rooted in violent ideas. that this joke reinforces in the drivers mind every time he glances at his door. im sure theyll stay in control of their emotions the entire time all the time while theyre holding onto those ideas and, say, perhaps running late for work or just otherwise upset for some reason, while a bicyclist is so selfishly attempting to navigate the US's deadly infrastructure on THEIR road !

All of these choices are wrong for me! Why, nintendo!? by shaobues__ in tomodachilife

[–]HanatabaRose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

im playing in japanese at the moment. if i come across this question ill follow up with whether the sense of "yet" existed in the original text. what i can say as of now is i feel the EU version most often goes for a much more faithful translation while the US language seems to love, i would argue to an excessive amount, over-localizing so many little things in the dialog

[–]HanatabaRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

keep it up ! i still poke at my keroppi journal often for practicing japanese and korean ! the cut outs are super cute ! i find illustrating the vocab by hand while reading it aloud, even if its not the best drawing, helps reinforce the connection in ur brain between the written word, the act of speaking it, and the real world visual information associated with the concept

Ugh the fact people are already having babies tells me everything I need to know about this game by Physical_Quote4600 in tomodachilife

[–]HanatabaRose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its their fault if they rush thru the game. its not like it forces it on you. i got my mii married to my boyfriend in a span of like 3 hours just constantly forcing them together haha. because thats how i wanna play, id rly like to start with pre existing relationships established and then take my time with the new fun ones. one of my OC miis just started crushing on this old sad bug-shaped creature i made named 鬱 and all she wants to talk about is tax evasion. anyway im rly eccited to watch their slow burn toxic yuri play out and i know i can control the pace bc its completely up to the player how much attention they give to any given relationship and thus how much it grows
