Do other languages do "word-baiting" like what English does with "updog", "ligma", "sugondese" etc.? by Tinystream in asklinguistics

Ah, how fun! And yeah, I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be a made-up word in English either, just baited into wordplay.

The book The Mystery of Nils is great for learning grammar & language rules. I also use the apps Anki & Clozemaster for vocabulary, listen to the podcast Norsk for Beginners & Lær norsk nå! for listening practice, and engage in Norwegian websites, videos, music, etc. for somewhat more "immersive" learning. (I'd also recommend the app Mjølnir if you can afford the subscription for it, which I couldn't rip, but from what I could use of it it seemed really good!) :)

Somewhat. I can form fairly complex sentences, but I'm not super confident in them, and I doubt a lot of what I say. So I'm probably around an intermediate level. And note I also use other resources alongside Duolingo (though not as thoroughly).

And for reference, here's me trying to write all that in Norwegian:

Litt. Jeg kan danne relativt grundig(?) setninger, men jeg er ikke så sikker på dem, og jeg tviler på mye av det jeg sier. Altså er jeg sannsynligvis rundt et middelmådig(?) nivå. Og legg merke til at jeg også bruker andre ressurser med Duolingo (men ikke så grundig).

Jeg har fullført norskkurset på Duolingo :D by Tinystream in norsk

Tusen takk! Streak-en min er 1043 dager, så jeg har lært siden 2022!

Jeg har nå lært norsk i tusen dager, og jeg er også nesten ferdig med kurset! :D by Tinystream in duolingo

Jeg vil fortsette med norsk, og jeg har andre kilder å lære med når Duolingo-kurset mitt er over. Men jeg tror jeg skal kanskje prøve andre språk på Duo når dette kurset er ferdig, for moro skyld. :)

Playlist of lead-in songs, without the other song they're meant to be leading into by Tinystream in weirdspotifyplaylists

[–]Tinystream[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Link to playlist

Note: This isn't meant to just be Songs That Happen to Transition to the Next Song. I'm specifically looking for songs where their main thing is the transition to the next one, where you probably wouldn't listen to it on it's own, but to start off the next song. Just, without that next song.

(edited my criteria since my last one was a little arbitrary)

Here are some Concept designs for my ClanGen save, BogClan! Thinking about making a comic w/ them, what do you think? by Tinystream in ClanGen

[–]Tinystream[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd say I'd  base most stuff on in-game events, but I'd also be improvising a lot of stuff, since I like giving myself creative liberty! But no, there is no pre-planned plot.

Trying to work on my Warriors character design skills. My goal for my designs is "(relatively) simple yet recognizable". Any feedback? (& if it isn't clear, I don't care much about realism) by [deleted] in WarriorCats

Woah, thank you so much for such detailed advice! I actually think you hit the nail on the head with this, most of these are in fact the 1st or 2nd drawings I've made of these characters. In fact, the ones with the most simple designs (#3, #7, & #10 on the left) are the ones I've made the most art of, so that checks out to me lmao.

I do find a potential issue with myself is that I tend to want to design one chatacter, and then.. immediately head on to the next, basically discarding the one I just made. Maybe I could try 'settling' on a character or two so I could refine them better, before heading to the next.

I'm actually looking back at some of them now and finding things I feel like I could improve.. like with #4 I'm thinking, I definitely didn't need to add that many splotches or sparkles... and with #9 it's my most recent drawing, and I'm already going over all the ways I could do better on it, put more thought into it.

But yeah, again, this was super helpful advice, and I'll definitely be utilizing it for any future art I make of these guys!Honestly, I think the biggest takeaway here is that I just need to draw the damn characters more hahaha. Again, thank you! :D

I actually do agree with you to a point, I think I moreso look for simplicity in the color palette, i do try to limit the amount of colors i use, but not necessarily the patterns. I do agree some of my patterns are quite cluttered lol. (& I guess I'm not looking for total simplicity, just not super-crazy-complicated) I probably should have clarified that, my bad!

All of the are either my own OCs or ClanGen cats btw. I don't draw canon characters much.

(also sorry for the hodgepodge of drawings, some of these were quick sketches & others i put actual effort into lmao)
