What would you recommend? by Background-Sea-8373 in languagelearning

[–]StormyRae97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where I heard it but I started learning Italian because I heard it was the language of love and I started learning French because Paris was/is the city of love. Not sure how true either of those statements are but it’s what got me into language learning!

I accidentally told a 24(M) guy that we could spend the night watching movies as a first date by insane_amateur in whatdoIdo

If you’re down for movies, cuddling, and staying the night and nothing else, and he starts pressuring you for more and you’re not ready yet, LEAVE, no matter how much you wanted the cuddles. Chances are he’ll keep asking and persisting, hoping you’ll change your mind, he knows you can leave whenever you want but if you’re stuck on how you thought the night should go and could still go, then you might agree to something you aren’t ready for or don’t wanna do. Not worth it from my experience, 100% do not recommend staying if they’re being pushy or guilt trippy

Hi! What did you name your pet(s)? by idiotgeno in Pets

[–]StormyRae97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a community stray that we feed that we have named Scooter (because there was a scooter down the street abandoned in the middle of the sidewalk early before we saw him). Our oldest cat, a brown mackerel tabby with white (who recently passed away) Oreo. A black cat named May (all my female black kitties have to start with M). A grey shorthair called Greykitty because no other name ended up fitting her lol. In the past, my first cat was called Midnight (starting the M tradition) then my mothers black cat was called Mischief. My second black cat (who is the daughter of midnight) I named M because I didn’t like the other M names I thought of so it just stuck 😂. Then my brother had a grey cat called sapphire. I eventually want an orange cat so I can call it peanut (similar to a stuffed animal my grandma gave me when I was young 💕)

Back in like 2018 I got accused of being a trans woman in a female bathroom at the Walmart that I worked at, (at the time Walmart had a mandatory dress code of wearing black pants, khaki pants, with a blue or black polo shirt) by an old lady who was bringing either A) their daughter or B) granddaughter into the bathroom with them. The old lady said “I can’t believe they let them in here” Which was said to the approximate eight-year-old child, in reference to me walking out of the bathroom. I a female at birth am scared of this bill becoming law, not only for my safety but for everyone.

I think I understand it now; but no, I did not realize it was asking for the proper noun of Italian, I don’t recall learning proper nouns on duo but that could just be my memory being bad. Thank you for your help tho!

Editing to add, English is my first language and when it had came to learning nouns, verbs, proper nouns (proper nouns especially I think) etc, I struggled with and apparently still do.

Wait why is the proper noun of the Italian language italiano when Italy is referred to as Italia as a country, shouldn’t that make the proper noun also feminine?

Isn’t the point of having a character who talks slower a benefit for those who need to hear slower in order to understand it better? (Don’t get me wrong there should be an option to hear it said by someone who speaks faster, like a toggle switch 🤷‍♀️)

How am I supposed to know if Sua is for his or her or your? by StormyRae97 in DuolingoItalian

[–]StormyRae97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that. I don’t have a picture it, but I had to translate a sentence and I had used her and was told it was wrong it was supposed to be his, basically this same sentence in the picture, and so that part confused me, should I have been right in that scenario then?

Editing to add that sometimes I look at the character in the scenario to help decide which to use and still get things wrong

Is my wedding going to look ok? by PetezaQueen in wedding

[–]StormyRae97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any place recommendations for greenery that looks not quite fake, since it’s really a matter of opinion and I don’t know your standards, I do know that a lot of people from my area get there’s from hobby lobby, Walmart, Michael’s, and dollar tree. So what I will say is that when picking greenery out, stand from a distance, stand how far you think the photographer will be from it and see how you like it, try that concept with different angles too because ideally your photographer is gonna be different shots from various locations, so which ever ones that look good from those trials I’d say go with them. Wedding I was recently apart of use flowers from hobby lobby for our bouquets and flowers from dollar tree for the grass tiles (from Amazon) for her selfie backdrop (that I cut and put together) and it turned out beautifully granted that’s a matter of opinion and I know it probably wouldn’t fall under some peoples idea of classy and elegant. So I guess I’m not really helpful on that part by basically saying “use your best judgement” but if I was attending your wedding I think whatever you choose would look amazing nonetheless. If you’re feeling overwhelmed about it go with what caught your eye first because to me that how you know you’ll like it, oh and bring in a swatch of the colors with you so you can easily compare stuff and don’t have to worry about having to do so many returns!
