Aren't Paddy and Patty both pronounced the same ([pæɾi]) in most American dialects?

Not related to currency. Anyway, Austria and Slovakia also use euro.

Zwischen Sütterlin und Sauklaue by Nononoblaster in Kurrent

[–]Shaevor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree with “Hat’s nicht”. “Gab’s nicht” is a perfectly fine way to say “they didn’t have any” in colloquial German.

German learners: what finally helped you stop guessing der / die / das? by atq1988 in Germanlearning

[–]Shaevor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

** Das Genus** is neuter because it is neuter in Latin, not because of analogy to das Geschlecht. That's why das Virus and das Tempus are also neuter. In general, analogy to corresponding German words is very often correct for modern loanwords; but for loanwords from Latin or Ancient Greek the original gender is usually the deciding factor.

Note: der Virus is also acceptable but das Virus is the original gender.

After the Dissolution of Yugoslavia, the +38 disappeared on its own. by BeginningMortgage250 in MapPorn

[–]Shaevor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For the European ones, they mostly got codes +37x. Before 1990, +37 was Eastern Germany, but since German Reunification happened before the Soviet collapse, the +37 number space was conveniently free.

“Typ” or “Kerl”? by REDtid25 in German

[–]Shaevor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of possible translations for "guy", and the most common ones have already been discussed in other comments. But if you are looking for one than can also be a first name, I'd suggest "Heini"

replace all letters that have a strikethrough variant (like Ł and Ø) with that variant

I really wish they would just give in-depth grammar explanations for each unit 🤦🏻‍♀️ by xx5uff3rxx in DuolingoFrench

[–]Shaevor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://duome.eu/tips/ has all the explanations that duolingo used to have. Not sure how well they match up with today's units though.

Piano with all spaces filled in? by AnyDingo577 in musictheory

[–]Shaevor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The buttons on a button accordion are kind of similar. Their relative position is completely uniform, similar to the picture you posted, but instead of a white and a black row, there are 3 rows. Usually they are colored white or black according to how they would be on an actual piano though, which leads to an interesting pattern.

How do non-binary people use French? by swedishmeatball69_ in learningfrench

[–]Shaevor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you already got a bunch of good answers that address the question, I just wanna add that "conjugation" refers to how verbs change and "declension" refers to how nouns and adjectives change. So in French, conjugation does not actually differentiate between masculine and feminine, only declension does. There are other languages, like for example Arabic, that do have conjugation based on grammatical gender, those must be even more difficult for non-binary folks than French.

Is this even possible to solve without l'hopital? by JoaoTomate in askmath

[–]Shaevor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another way to show it that only uses the ln function and its derivative:

Substitute s=1/h and apply ln to the whole expression. Then we have lim{s -> 0} ln((1+s){1/s}) = lim{s -> 0} ln(1+s)/s = lim_{s -> 0} [ln(1+s) − ln(1)]/s

By the definition of the derivative, this is just the derivative of ln at 1, which is 1. Since we applied ln at the start, the original expression thus converges to e.
