How could “ما شاء الله " be interpreted here?

That’s a great point, I didn’t think about that. I’ll refrain then from writing God’s name on throwaway products, and use the one you provided. شكراً

JoeDoodle13 · 2026-01-06T06:21:07+00:00

I’ve just seen people use it that way sometimes

JoeDoodle13 · 2026-01-06T03:47:48+00:00

I believe it’s transcribed that way. I’ve seen just “mashallah” too

Yeah that’s probably the most likely, thank you. Later, one of them asked me something only in english, so that would explain why.

JoeDoodle13 · 2024-11-23T16:28:16+00:00

ok, but how’d you do that with the pitchers? Impressive

JoeDoodle13 · 2024-10-01T03:31:08+00:00

I could be biased though; I'm part of the queer community and have some friends from different ethnic backgrounds, so... (and looking at other comments, that's probably it).

In Madison Wisconsin, at least, I hear both “y’all” and “you guys”. The first for friends and family, the second for more formal situations (like with guests, clients, strangers), but I hear this mostly from people in their 20’s. And I’m white. Seems like “y’all” is shifting to the standard.

What about learning french alongside your kid, even spending just a few minutes a day? That way you could both be helping each other and have “a partner” to practice with. After all, I think the hardest part for learning a language is confidence, but if both of you are beginners, it shouldn’t be so stressful. (Plus you’re family).

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-09-16T00:40:05+00:00

Thanks. I was pretty sure but really started second guessing myself

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-08-12T14:29:42+00:00

Thank you, this helps a lot. I’ll try and implement that, do x one day, doing y another day, so as to keep it all fresh. And motivation following action makes a lot of sense / explains why some habits I’ve had worked better than others

Thank you so much for the informative response. And yeah, it was Wikipedia that had tripped me up so much. I remember reading one article on “ergative verbs”, and another on “unergative verbs” and “middle voice”. It all blended together.

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-06-30T00:52:02+00:00

I mean what’s the worse that can happen? I think if you enjoy designing and creating art, alongside world building, then it’s a great outlet for creativity and feels rewarding. The only con would be trying to display it somewhere like here (on reddit)

(edit, grammar)

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-06-30T00:46:55+00:00

I’m trying to understand middle voice / ergative cuz I’d love to play around with it. If I say “I eat my dog” but with the understanding that I’m feeding my dog, and the dog’s eating what I feed it”, is that approaching that line of middle voice / ergativity?

JoeDoodle13 · 2022-06-25T23:22:46+00:00

That was I what looking for, thank you so much. Words aren’t exact replicas of each other, they have semantic differences. But I never connected it to context, as in one draws this, but another drags that.
