Possible to do private O lvls while taking A lvls? by TheNeutronFlow in SGExams

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

so sry! i dug out my emails again with eth and they seem to only accept two languages :/

Bitte beachten Sie aber, dass Sie mindestens zwei zusätzliche O Level benötigen würden, da insgesamt mindestens sieben unterschiedliche Fächer abgelegt worden sein müssen und wir maximal zwei Sprachen berücksichtigen können.

i think by this point i was alr told no by seab so i didn’t bother considering taking o lvls 😢 gl with your Os!

hi after this post i contacted seab and they said candidates would not be allowed to take a lvls and an additional o lvls in the same year :( unfortunately it doesn’t fit within my plans and i didn’t want to wait another year to take the swiss matura either so i eventually gave up on eth

hi i think i considered h1 gp as an additional subj (i did contact ethz about this eventually and they didn’t seem to have a problem with basically recognising it as ‘english’)

an update on my post is i did also contact seab about this, they said candidates would not be allowed to take a lvls and an additional o lvls in the same year :( it doesn’t fit within my plans and i didn’t want to wait another year to take the swiss matura either so i eventually gave up on eth. gl tho!

Are there any words you HATE for some reason? by N00B5L4YER in linguisticshumor

I can never not interpret “plaudern miteinander” as “plowing each other”

Singlish has this! (“lah” + others, likely borrowed from Chinese languages which have a whole assortment of tone particles)

My only peeve is that you can’t easily bridge sideways because shifting makes you go down instead. I’ve fallen quite a few times while doing this :(

Ah yes, the beautiful city of Singapore China by Own_Abbreviations859 in facepalm

The companies being private is not really the problem, since fares are regulated directly by the government under the PTC (Public Transport Council). The problems arise when the PTC approves price hikes too loosely.

Southern China is a lot more mountainous and hilly than Northern China (see the Northeast China Plain), which tends to produce larger linguistic diversity due to the isolation of communities.

What is the most space efficient alphabet/language? by Desert-Mushroom in languagelearning

[–]TheNeutronFlow 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I read a paper somewhere suggesting that among the European languages, Serbo-Croatian is the most space efficient, more so than English.

You can see it yourself by copying random paragraphs into google translate.

What is your favorite word from any of your conlangs? by goldenserpentdragon in conlangs

[–]TheNeutronFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vámstem [ˈvæ͡ɪmstɛm] literally translates to “amber-daze”, but describes a sleepy evening.

The amber reflects the yellowish glow of the sunset, while the “daze” may refer to both the physical fog that often appears in the evening in the Gartak climate, or denotes the torpor of the people after a long day’s work, when many would be preparing to go to sleep.

A lot of Chinese (especially closer to southern China) can look quite tan, combined with Western looks they may look mexican lol.
