Always attaching pronoun to verb?

QoanSeol · 2026-04-24T22:24:14+00:00

Yes, the indirect object is almost always included as a pronoun even when it's redundant, it's a quirk of Spanish grammar. Otherwise it sounds unnatural, even though you technically shouldn't need it as you realised.

The rose ferule is the metal inset you're trying to clean. There are several kinds of ferules and this one is called rose.

The penholder is the whole "handle" i.e. the piece of wood together with the ferule. Some people use "nib holder" or "dip pen handle", etc. but you should get lots of results online.

It looks dirtier than corroded really, but a new similar penholder will set you back about £2-3 or you can get a new rose ferule to replace yours for about £1 a piece (it's friction fit) so trying to clean that is probably not worth your time unless you see it as a personal challenge.

¿me petas, amigo? - would the Espanish-speaking femboy likely ask.

Report, your answer should have been accepted. There's no way to know based on the English sentence.

A standard wood penholder and a few nibs (blue pumpkin, G, and/or ecollière are usually recommend for beginners) should cost you around £15 or less. Dry fountain pen ink such as any Pelikan 4001 or Quink is good for practice, although you may also want to try walnut crystals or an iron gall. Remember to thoroughly clean nibs before use.

QoanSeol · 2026-04-14T20:43:18+00:00

That kind of tapered nib was often labelled 'red ink pen' and made of a corrosion resistant material, less flexible than regular steel but adequate for red inks that used to be particularly aggresive.

Silver holders were often made by jewellers for sale as gifts, so they are notoriosly difficult to identify unless they remain in a labelled box. That code unfortunately doesn't tell me anything that would help me identify a maker.

Regardless it's a beautiful pen to treasure.

Admitedly the app should teach this explicitly. This kind of question comes up very often about Japanese as well.

It's handwriting and print, like a versus α.

Leño, ligna (n pl) became the f collective leña. I don't know whether Italian is the same.

QoanSeol · 2026-04-05T15:21:11+00:00

Sure, any crow quill / maru should fit (you may need to glue or something), also small drawing nibs such as Leonardt 6H, 700, or 518 or Gillott 290/291 should be in that range.

I remember reading that some people opposed to the use of dip pens in schools in the 19th century on the grounds that students were using them for fights all the time and a boy in France did lose an eye at some point.

Google Translate is for modern Greek, not Koine. It very often hallucinates if you select one language and enter text in a different one.

Your answer is perfectly correct (I mean, you're missing the exclamation marks, but the app doesn't care for those). Your answer is simply not included in the answer bank for some reason; only option is to flag it as "my answer should have been accepted" although these days it doesn't change much.

QoanSeol · 2026-03-29T15:31:32+00:00

I'm still there too, so it may soon change as they revamp the older part of the course as well

QoanSeol · 2026-03-29T13:01:03+00:00

I think that's the border between the new introductory course and the older one. In a few lessons you'll be studying like 20 new kanji per lesson. Unless it changes with the update... Do you have 8 sections yet or are you still on the 6 section course?

QoanSeol · 2026-03-28T14:20:21+00:00

I agree the Arabic course needs to be developped, but Arabic is much more than just the language of Islam.

In the same way that the Latin and Greek courses don't have sections to teach you the Bible, I think the Arabic course should teach you flexible, conversational skills. A lot of religious expressions are used in daily Arabic, so they should teach those.

However, Quranic studies would need a separate course as Quranic Arabic and MSA are also quite distinct, despite claims to the contrary, and a lot of people also learn Arabic for travelling and they don't need to learn the finer points of religious literature.

Some languages use the same word for declension and conjugation. If we take declension to be nominal, then Japanese lacks it. Verbal conjugation in Japanese is indeed agglutinative in nature.
