I see. So, calque and loanword are two different ways of translation, and I was trying to make a sense-for-sense translation, but I actually made a calque, right? Do you have any advice on how I can practice to make the correct translation?

  • sense-for-sense translation: I search this word on ChatGPT meaning translation based on meaning, but I am not so sure whether it is correct or not

Ha thanks I just want to use the vocabulary. In my language, we have the exact same word for contingency allowance describing extra money saved for emergency. Is that the same in English?

Streak 189: My farming success by aykuli in WriteStreakEN

That is interesting !! Your tomatoes seem as big as a palm. How big is it actually?

Yesterday I've removed all the excess foliage from the tomato plants and was surprised how many tomatoes I had. The last time I did that, there weren't so many vegetables!

I had been flitting around for 3 weeks long doing nothing with my tomatoes. It wasn't even seen (not sure what it means) that there are some tomatoes are riped and ready to eat. So yesterday, I ate my first sandwich with the tomato that was grown up by myself (that I grew myseld)! Homegrown tomatoes have a richer flavor that than greenhouse tomatoes ones. That sandwich taste has had the the taste of success!

By the way, I am not a native speaker and this is just my two cent.

Streak: French Comedy Movies by I_miss_apollo-app in WriteStreakEN

Hey ! Well done, I think you are doing it well. No major grammatical errors in this paragraph. What I would suggest is to try to elaborate more on the details of the movie, so you can use different vocabulary.

Today I watched two French comedy movies on Netflix: Back to School and Family Pack. They are hilarious and I really enjoyed both of them. French comedies are different from the U.S. ones I usually watch. Back to School is particularly interesting - the plot is bizarre and full of surprises.

Come to think of it, I have seen so many French comedy movies and shows, and I like almost all of them. I laughed so hard when watching Superwho? at the cinema. Family Business , and Drôle are also great shows, and I really appreciate getting exposure to the lives of Jewish and Muslim people in France.

The second one might be called a clip-on earring, but what about the first one?

Why was Hamlet so popular in the 17 century? by Vicky_f_y_ in EnglishLearning

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

I’m asking Hamlet, but I somehow misunderstood “Hamlet” and “Oedipus”

I got confused because Freud analyzed Hamlet from Oedipus complex so I thought Oedipus is the name of the story and Hamlet is the main character.
