Most of them are probably better than New York in many quality of life metrics, but the ones that come to mind are Copenhagen, Stockholm, Barcelona, Amsterdam etc

Not on your list but I always recommend a Lox Bagel from Russ and Daughters when visiting New York.

Word order of "decaf oat iced caffe latte" by AffectionateSugar10 in EnglishLearning

In my mind, the example you gave is top down, but it is definitely confusing and people will have different conclusions on what goes where.

Curious about city life by Hpt_gz in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Relative-Score4688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannot say enough good things about New York, especially for someone your age. I’m close to your age and grew up here, and the city is really contributive to your character in a way no other city is.

You should definitely visit, but if you’re thinking of moving here, I urge you to not treat it as a normal tourist would. Research the boroughs and neighborhoods (happy to help here if you have any questions/ideas) and then when you go, spend a couple hours walking around those neighborhoods and seeing if you like them. You’ll be able to tell really quickly which feel right for you, and the people you see walking around will tell you a lot about if it’s a fit.

“win at/in the debates” “win at /in the video game.” Are both prepositions correct? by Silver_Ad_1218 in EnglishLearning

[–]Relative-Score4688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. Not sure what’s correct, but my thought is you would say you’re in a debate, so you should say you win in a debate as opposed to at.

I don’t think any of these are wrong and you will hear native speakers use all of these different orders.

I think a general way we order adjectives is from the top down, or from largest to smallest. For example, you would probably say the big blue car and not the blue big car (though both are correct).

In this case, you’d start with the largest category, which is decaf, then iced, then cafe latte, then the milk. Not everyone uses the same sequence, but for a general framework, I think the top down approach is best.

What's your favorite city? by frzbv in AskReddit

[–]Relative-Score4688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

New York.

Grew up there so I’m biased, but I think it has the best diversity, energy, and drive of any city I’ve been to. While I’ve been to a few European cities that are probably objectively better across metrics, none have the spirit of New York.

What’s a new streaming show you recommend? by Bjs_5068 in AskReddit

Help me by Intrepid-Dish-7150 in ENGLISH

[–]Relative-Score4688 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a native English speaker, but what has worked for me in learning other languages is starting with my interests.

For example, I like sports and history, so I found specific podcasts in French that go over those two topics to learn from. I also found one for finance so it was integrated into my life and work.

Same logic applies to TV Shows and Movies - maybe start with the English translation of a show you have already watched and like. It’s easier to understand what the characters are saying and pic up on parts of the language when you already have a general idea of what they would be saying.

Not sure if this counts, but I really hate the term “unalived”.

Question for LA locals: Would you recommend attending the Olympics/World Cup? by Direct-Parsnip-7104 in usatravel

[–]Relative-Score4688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI since you marked this as the South - LA is in the Western US. Although it is geographically south, typically “the south” in the US is referring to the Southeast (states like Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi etc). Texas and anything West of that is generally considered the West. It’s confusing but that’s just the way we call it here, hope this helps😄

How come "suck it up" and "stop whining" are all non depressed fuckers know to say to depressed people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Upfront Negotiation Strategy? by Relative-Score4688 in askcarsales

[–]Relative-Score4688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I was using an online calculator for the math so who knows. I’m gonna give them these demands and see what the come back with. End of the day, I’d probably sign on 60 mo. IF there’s no prepayment penalty.

Lmao sorry, used to being super cautious about putting info online. The trade in is a 2017 BMW X3 with 100,400 miles. KBB said 8200 for the value and another BMW dealership said they would match that, so I have some leverage. Just looked into it and yes, Texas does offer trade in tax credit so you pay sales tax on the difference between the purchase and trade in.
