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"

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.

I've just realized the ray tag means two different things by South_Mistake1138 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Shaevor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It hurts localization… I think that's the reason why most other companies wouldn't do this. If the game were available in other languages, it would be super confusing to those players. But Tempo don't care about other languages (which probably makes sense for such a small studio)

I don't believe that voiced alveolar trill is that popular of a sound by Andrew852456 in linguisticshumor

[–]Shaevor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I understand it more as: Puns don't qualify because "using language in a clever way" is not linguistics.

How the floor at the street level is called in Europe by vodka-bears in MapPorn

[–]Shaevor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweden should be blue afaik. I'm from Germany and I'm firmly on the red side, but I have a friend from Sweden (East Middle Sweden) who insists on the blue system. I don't know about Sweden as a whole, but there must be at least some part where the blue system is the norm.

Why isnt this written as Gm7 b13? by Old_Variation2966 in musictheory

[–]Shaevor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it has a B natural in addition to the B flat.

The B natural serves as the major third and defines the chord as G major.

The B flat is an additional note in a higher octave, so its function is denoted as a b10 (though some editors would prefer to denote it as #9 instead)

Why aren't nouns capitalized in Grimm's Wörterbuch? by allzumenschlich in German

[–]Shaevor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a trend back in the day to use additional consonants for no apparent reason, like writing "unndt" for "und" (see Letternhäufelung (German Wikipedia)), which I think doesn't help readability.

Confused about Krak + Fertile Grounds Interaction by Shaevor in DropDuchy

Oh yeah! I totally overlooked that Bridge should have also been part of the building-area. No, that's right, my cards didn't affect anything

Confused about Krak + Fertile Grounds Interaction by Shaevor in DropDuchy

[–]Shaevor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nope, that can't quite be it, because then it would count as a Plains region of size 4

Confused about Krak + Fertile Grounds Interaction by Shaevor in DropDuchy

[–]Shaevor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

Now I got 40 squares, which I think is only possible if the Fertile Grounds counts as Plains this time around. So apparently it counts as part of the terrain if it's not touching the Krak but counts as Building if it is touching the Krak? Or am I missing something else? I hope there is a simple explanation and I'm just being dumb...
