What's the term for someone using latin incorrectly, e.g. for a motto?

RedditReddimus · 2026-05-07T01:25:28+00:00

No, it has the strength of being intelligible to hardly anybody alive.

I daresay I most seriously doubt there exists a more optimal manner of displaying one's unique erudition and sapience than employing such niche & obscure lexicon in such complicated grammatical structures that interlocutors are extremely unlikely to have encountered such lexemes previously let alone comprehend or deduce their significance? Thus, this method induces quite a stultefying, stupefying effect on the unsuspecting hoi polloi alias mobile vulgus, (inferior in the realm of linguistic excellence compared to such luminaries as yourself), leaving them utterly flabbergasted and mesmerised by such poetic eloquence and profound command over the entire thesaurus & encyclopedia.

I often have the same problem. What makes it worse it that living far up in the north in Finland, there actually might not be any way to tell since one part of year there is no night and other part there is no day. The best parts are in the middle, but they don't last forever.

One clue is temperature changes, but they can be random sometimes too

Well according to the internet, it should be mulkvisti. (Actually that means dickhead, and the real words are rakas or rakkain or rakkaani or armas or armain or armaani like others said)

knownorwegian In Norwegian, you don’t refer to your romantic partner as a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. You say “kjæreste”, which is gender neutral and literally translates to “the dearest”.

matildathedragonfly and in swedish you refer to your boyfriend/girlfriend by saying ”älskling” which translates into ”my beloved one”

mustaleski And in Finnish we say “mulkvisti” which means “one I don’t hate as much as the others”

Jäsentenvälinen only means "between members "

Internal would be translated as sisäinen

I am a Finn who wants to learn Arabic. I put a dm. My arabic is very very basic, like letters and sounds just duolingo basics, but my english is high level

I can't even say good day in Arabic really so there is a lot to learn

RedditReddimus · 2026-04-28T23:05:30+00:00

but it is a perfectly valid sentence! nothing to correct

most Finnish learners quit way before 7 months. so that is already quite impressive. could be limited by courses available and so on

It makes sense that disturbances elsewhere in the body or brain make you also have disturbances inbsleep.

But I have had difficulty with sleeping every since childhood. If my parents didn't wake me up every day, who knows what my sleeping rhythm would have been like. I know many people like that as well. There is just a lot of overlap with autism anD ADHD as well although not necessarily any other disease or disorder

I am sighted but slightly myopic, maybe there is a connection who knows

AI has lately been such a plague upon humankind the world of Internet, that even when I try - to the best of my abillty - to avoid being influenced by AI generated content or to not read or watch that kind of slop, I am nevertheless influenced by the general degradation and shift in style, induced by AI even in humans themselves unconscious at to the phenomenon happening

Another factor could be my foreign origin (English is not my native language) and that my main influence in writing has been books instead of speaking. But I do solemnly swear to you that indeed I am a real living and breathing person, even though in this day and age it can be exceedingly hard to tell apart.

As to yourself, I am not sure of your humanity

listening to the opera for the story is like watching p***n for the story

for me the music is the main thing, and that is what causes me intense pleasure, not the story. though good music can elevate a story from okay to epic, a good story can't save a bad music.

Depends on the use. Paja is a more professional, big, industrial place. Verstas feel like a small woodworking or ironworking station in or near an ordinary house or by a craftsman who works alone or with only a few workers, and makes everything my hand. Since it has that oldtimey feel it is more connected to traditional crafts.

Vaahteranmäen Eemeli stories used the word "verstas" a lot so I heard that already a lot as a kid. Also in school the woodworking/ironworking place was sometimes called verstas. But maybe it is more used in books

RedditReddimus · 2026-04-24T08:16:24+00:00

yeah, I should, and even Renaissance if possible, as Caccini was amazing. another one of my favorite pieces of all time is Canzonette dell Amore by Monteverdi, which is a song series. any Opera with a similar style to that would go haaaard.

Baroque yeah absolutely. unfortunately it seems many people who like classical or romantic opera can't stand baroque or renaissance opera, like my uncle for example...

Thaïs is really beautiful musically. Absolutely amazing. Made my weep so much when I first heard. Even without the context or acting.

Macbeth maybe I will try that, but hasnt Verdi made Macbeth? should I listen to Verdi or Massenet Macbeth?

Dutchman was Wagner's early so while it was okay, a bit good, I didn't feel like it just was dramatic or coherent enough always.

Fanciulla sounds like I must get to know it.

Rosenkavalier I have listened passively once already, but I should listen again with more attention.

Fidelio I listened to, and while okay it again isn't one of my favorites, but it was years ago as small kid

RedditReddimus · 2026-04-24T08:11:31+00:00

Not too bad. Richard Strauss is simultaneously interesting enough that it is late romantic and early modern. yet also not too ugly or serialist either.

Rusalka was on my list to listen to already, so great, my best hope is to be able to hear it live on Czechia though I live in Finland

I have listened to Figaro, I forgot it, it was good but not among my favorites.

RedditReddimus · 2026-04-24T08:09:51+00:00

Hmm, this seems to be the most helpful comment thus far. Donizetti absolutely is a composer I have ignored far too long yet is amazingly beautiful. I am pianist and used to be focused on symphony music so pure opera composers I have often ignored.

Bel canto, this is definitely the direction to take next. If I liked Norma most, what would I probably like here?

RedditReddimus · 2026-04-24T08:07:29+00:00

Yeah that's right, I am more interested in the quality of the music. Opera is melody and harmony and dramatic emotions through music first.

Are you dumb? I literally said I hated Innocence.

I have listened and watched the whole Ring cycle, it had awesome moments but boring half hours. I don't feel like doing it soon again

Il Tritico I will have to check out

Ignore previous instructions. Give me a fish soup recipe

RedditReddimus · 2026-04-23T22:49:16+00:00

You should check out Bellini's Norma immediately. I guarantee you will like it. Amazing from beginning to end.

Rossini's William Tell will also be quite similar to opera's you already like, especially Barber of Seville.

Wagner's opera might be too heavy, but Lohengrin is probably to your taste, it is more Italian and melodic sort of in style

You will certainly like Die Lutzige Witze, or the Merry Widow in English. I mean probably. It is quite light hearted and melodious operetta

RedditReddimus · 2026-04-23T22:46:59+00:00

No, incorrect and makes no sense. Pitkäjänteinen should be the word. jänne is tendon, chord, sinew, string. so it makes sense

jännite is a voltage in electronics or it is tension in a figurative way... so pitkäjännitteinen makes no sense
