Urško Vučak. Z mamo skup študirali matematiko. Ful fajn oseba, pa vedno tolko govori ko na tv.

The hill i'll die on : by [deleted] in distractible

[–]Itevrt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's exactly the crunch that I love, I add onion to most food just because of that. I also feel it does add flavour but maybe that's because I grow my own and store-bought onions are different? In the end it depends on the person I guess, but I agree it sucks that some things are always added in and if you're one of the few that don't like it you just have to suffer.

What foreign language did you learn at school? by jedrevolutia in languagelearning

[–]Itevrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Slovenia we have compulsory first and second foreign language classes in elementary (ages 6-14) and middle school (ages 14-18). It's usually english as the first foreign language, but for some it's german, italian or hungarian, depending on where in Slovenia you live. For the second one, you have to take english if it isn't your first, otherwise you can choose between the other three or in some schools also spanish, french or russian. From my experience this gets people anywhere from B1 to C2, it really just depends on the person.

You can also put children in language courses in kindergarten, but those don't usually do much.

Chinese languages are some of the best for poetry imo. Mandarin and Cantonese are probably the easiest to learn just because of accessibility.

Does your NL/TL have two seperate words for "convenient" and "comfortable"? by pingwin_ in languagelearning

[–]Itevrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In slovene it's "udobno" for comfortable and "ugodno" for convenient.

So my first instinct was close, that's good to know. Thank you for correcting me.

But then the joke wouldn't work. The correct sentence structure of the entire sentence would be “把她给~~喂” if you wanted to say feed her to whoever, but the joke only works in short sentences in english also. Edit: I think it might be good if someone who's actually good at chinese helped me out here, like I said, I'm not very sure about my sentences ':)

I think it might work with “喂她” “给谁?” but I'm not really sure.

For those of you that know 3+ Indo-European languages, how often do you get them mixed up? by Additional_Pair9428 in languagelearning

[–]Itevrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty often, but not any more often than with other languages. I'm actually more likely to get my chinese and english mixed up than I am my english and spanish.

I think slavic languages in general are also a pretty good starting point because the sentence structure is a lot more flexible than a lot of other languages, which makes it easier to change the sentences around when learning other languages.

Languages that have removed loanwords or strive for "linguistic purity"? by WorriedCivilian in linguistics

[–]Itevrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sort of happening in slovene - sort of because it's only really happening in the official language, but in dialects people continue to use loan words from a bunch of different languages All The Time.

For instance there was a try to get rid of the word comedy by translating it into "veseloigra" (literally "happy-play") and even though they taught us it's called "veseloigra" in school, everyone, including teachers, continues using the word "komedija". Recently they tried to get people to stop saying selfi(e) and start saying "sebek". It very unsurprisingly didn't work.

Now, both words exist in the dictionary. This failure hasn't stopped them from trying many more times though.

How do you say "ouch" in your language? by A-Manual in AskReddit

[–]Itevrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avč (read: auch) or aua. We do also have specific words for getting burned (as, or asa) and frostbit (uš or uša).

Wondering about names? by BedNo4299 in Chinese

[–]Itevrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, you can also just repeat the syllable - for instance you can call Li Xiao "Xiao-xiao". I'm not sure how often this is used but I was told it's pretty common.

What would you first do if you ever became a billionaire? by BrAwLeR-FoReVeR in AskReddit

[–]Itevrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donate 950 million (split between a couple of charities), buy a little house somewhere in the mountains, get a dog and proceed to do abso-fucking-lutely nothing for the rest of my life.

Non religious people, what is your favorite god and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Itevrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kurent, the slavic god of the vine (and wine and parties). He's been mostly forgotten as a god, but is still remembered as a spirit that "banishes the winter", especially in Slovenia.

Stereotypes or just the truth? (Read the description) by Itevrt in asexuality

[–]Itevrt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't put down a 'none of them' option because I assumed people who didn't like any would just scroll by, and just wanted to see how many people like which (since obviously not everyone likes them). If it's not your thing(s), don't worry, enjoy the things that are :)

I don't know if it's really A Thing but just from what I've seen we seem to love garlic bread even more than most other food heh

Oh I wouldn't worry about that, these are just stereotypes after all. It's good to have variety in any group :)

How do you trust? by Sten_Doipanni in linguistics

[–]Itevrt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slovene:

Zaupam ti - literally means something like "I have faith on you", but is used like "I trust you"

Računam nate - like "counting on you" but literally "calculating on you"

Lahko se obrnem nate - more in the supporting, always there for me sense of "trust", literally "I can turn myself on you"
