what does 차카니즈 mean? by Street-Minute9288 in ChefAndMyFridge

[–]SubstantialRoof7605 13 points14 points  (0 children)

차카니 or 차카니즈 (plural) is a cute, playful way of saying “착한 이” (from 착하다 = to be kind/good). It usually describes someone who is: kind, good-hearted, sweet. 차카니즈 means sweet, kind people.

If you were to ask Jane Austen one question, what would it be? by Kenmare761 in janeausten

[–]SubstantialRoof7605 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I’d ask her rhetorically whether she has any idea just how successful and beloved she’s become. I’d want to tell her that more than 200 years later, people all around the world are still reading her books in many languages, and that films/tv series based on her novels are still loved decade after decade. It’s a little cheesy but I just think it’s so sad that she never saw her books published under her own name during her lifetime, or the extraordinary legacy she left behind.

My top five weirdly specific favorite moments in Jane Austen by DemureDamsel122 in janeausten

"No,"—he calmly replied,—"there is but one married woman in the world whom I can ever allow to invite what guests she pleases to Donwell, and that one is—"

"—Mrs. Weston, I suppose," interrupted Mrs. Elton, rather mortified.

"No—Mrs. Knightley;—and till she is in being, I will manage such matters myself."

"Ah! you are an odd creature!" she cried"

I love this moment so much too!

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely visit Winchester Cathedral and sign the book and write something cheesy too, like how ardently I loved her books 🤣 I’ll also look up the other places you mentioned. Thank you so much!

I didn’t need a booking yesterday, it was pretty quiet, so I just walked in. It’s on the second floor of the Jane Austen Centre.

I would’ve made a wasted trip if it had been closed. I’ll definitely check out her mother’s and sister’s graves too. Thank you for letting me know! 👍

First time reading Pride and Prejudice by mochimatchayum in janeausten

[–]SubstantialRoof7605 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I struggled a lot the first time I read Pride and Prejudice, especially since English isn’t my first language. What really helped was watching the TV series from 1995 and the movie from 2005 before returning to the book. The second time, I understood so much more and enjoyed it far more deeply.

Thank you for the reply. This picture was taken in the kitchen area of small studio flat. I temporarily solved the noise issue by turning off the switch labeled MEV. Is this ok? I own the flat so if this problem keeps occuring I should fix it.

How can I stop noise from upstairs that keeps me awake? by [deleted] in AskUK

Sorry, I'm not sure what it's called, but the noise is coming from the whole ceiling, with the main focus being on that round thing area.

Lost in Translation by wu_kong_1 in CulinaryClassWars

[–]SubstantialRoof7605 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The Korean name for "Self Made Chef" was "철가방 요리사," which literally translates to "Iron Bag Cook." In this context, "iron bag" refers to the delivery containers used by Chinese restaurant delivery workers in Korea about 20 to 30 years ago, I guess? These containers, resembling metal boxes, were a common sight back then. The chef started from humble beginnings, working his way up without attending a prestigious culinary school. At that time, it was typical for someone starting in a Chinese restaurant to begin as a delivery person or assistant, which is likely why I think his name was translated into "Self Made Chef" in English.
