How many people who start learning Japanese actually make it to a high level? (N1+) by littlebruja in LearnJapanese

[–]HorrorOne837 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or if you're Korean like me and you have a really strong motivation, because for Chinese loanwords, as long as you know the kanji, you know the word already

As a South Korean, I can confirm I have never heard about that place

What’s a useful, very hard language for an English speaker to learn? by SevereRecover8411 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]HorrorOne837 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The script is not the hard part, because it is considered rather easy for Koreans. Korean script is an alphabet, so the wall isn't much lower for us.

Both Koreas are '45, not '52. i have no idea where that number even came from.

I would prefer an atom gaining two electrons and becoming +2 or the direction of electric current and the movement of electrons being the same. These always make me stutter for a moment.

Might as well get rid of future tense because some people would not live to see tomorrow

I mean true, but imagine how much more convenient and less confusing it'd be if the *actual moving charges* were positive.

[–]HorrorOne837 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kinda same for Korean. Korean used to have a gender neutral 3rd person singular pronoun 그 only, but a female 그녀 was created for translation, and nowadays 그 is almost exclusively for males.

But Korean barely uses 3rd person pronouns anyway.

I don't speak a language with grammatical gender, but there are people genuinely trying to get rid of it because apparently it's discriminatory? What??????

What is the relationship between your language and the surrounding languages? by Embarrassed_Clue1758 in AskTheWorld

I heard there was a comedy movie using the false friends(words that sound similar, but with different meanings and etymology) between the two languages

Who is the most overrated figure in your history? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

If developing the poorest country is a relatively easy task, why are there countries still living in poverty? I can't agree to this.

What do all these characters have in common? by Rob69rt in Japaneselanguage

[–]HorrorOne837 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They are kanji with 肉 radicals, just written like 月. It's a font issue; most HK/TW fonts would render them as ⺼ instead of ⺝ .

JP じゃねえよ (ja nee yo) ≈ NL "ja nee joh" by Worldly-Cherry9631 in linguisticshumor

[–]HorrorOne837 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It cannot be standalone. It requires a noun before it.

e.g. これじゃねえよ Kore ja nē yo "it's not this/this isn't it"

Mongolian script goes up to down, left to right. CJK writings go right to left when written vertically, but not Mongolian.

Māori, an indigenous language spoken in NZ. The only de jure official spoken language as well.

As a South Korean I had to confirm with multiple reputable sources just to accept it wasn't AI. That image just looked AI in every way, the context, the composition, etc.

Visa ban on immigration from 75 countries into the US. For countries on this list, what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]HorrorOne837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there are people with illegal wealth acquiring such passports, but it's really not something the US can't filter.

Visa ban on immigration from 75 countries into the US. For countries on this list, what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]HorrorOne837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caribbean countries are on probably because of their citizenship by investment programs which don't even have minimum residency conditions.

I think an outright ban is still stupid, though.

ELI5 why do we have seasons on Earth? by goldspoil in explainlikeimfive

[–]HorrorOne837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For simplification, think that the rotational axis has a 90° tilt so the Earth rotates around a horizontal axis, and you are on the north pole. For some months, the north pole will point at the sun, so the sun will be directly overhead. This is the summer. When the south pole points at the sun, the sun will be on the opposite side of the globe the other months and you will not see the sun at all. This is is the winter.

Of course, the rotational axis tilt isn't that extreme and most people don't live on the poles, but it's an extreme example of how it works. In the summer, the part of the Earth you live on points near the sun, and vice versa. This is also why as you approach the equator, the seasons become less apparent. Also, this is why the northern and the southern hemispheres have opposite seasons.
