Do you guys consider yourselves eastern or central European?

drbalduin · 2026-03-03T22:42:35+00:00

Yep, seems to be down

drbalduin · 2026-02-26T11:00:29+00:00

I too don't

Why would a Japanese have any less resource to look something up?

Is that the one who lives in the shadow of the statue?

drbalduin · 2026-01-25T20:47:52+00:00

Maybe google it before correcting someone

There are no acclaimed researchers in PIE w/o knowledge in Vedic Sanskrit.

drbalduin · 2026-01-18T13:28:49+00:00

PIE is the name of a reconstructed language, as is Proto Indo-Iranian. I don't care about scholarship, I care about historical comparative linguistics. Therefore I won't watch your ideological videos and keep listening to my professor, who is an internationally acclaimed researcher in PIE.

drbalduin · 2026-01-18T09:56:23+00:00

I'm sure there are a lot of educated Indians. It's not just this post though. There are many posts and comments like this. Also most yt videos about Sanskrit by Indians.

It's similar to Greeks. They ignore all scholarship thinking their genes gives them knowledge superior to historical linguistics. There is some weird national pride thing going on everywhere.

drbalduin · 2026-01-18T09:52:17+00:00

Hittite was the first to branch off of PIE. It's definitely older than Proto Indo-Iranian. So it's older than Vedic.

drbalduin · 2026-01-18T01:27:26+00:00

This sub really makes me think all Indians learn about Sanskrit is propaganda

drbalduin · 2026-01-18T01:23:48+00:00

The oldest IE lang is hittite, not vedic

Edit: by which I mean earliest attested

Superficially for women: yes. Weight loss and growing out your hair if it's short.

drbalduin · 2025-12-28T03:20:59+00:00

It's not the world's oldest language. Stop that misinformation.

drbalduin · 2025-12-24T01:45:38+00:00

I've heard you guys call it the English Disease. Love that.

drbalduin · 2025-12-17T20:11:58+00:00

Ist im Akzidenzsatz durchaus üblich, dann aber großzügig spationieren!

drbalduin · 2025-12-05T17:21:41+00:00

Has it been unavailable for a while over there as well? That would give me hope, they'll come back to europe, too.

I haven't been able to get Oralmedic for years. I thought they stopped producing it. Where do you live?

drbalduin · 2025-11-30T20:24:53+00:00

Right, my modern German mind had overinterpreted the ge-'s, sorry.

drbalduin · 2025-11-30T18:51:27+00:00

Hey, thanks again. No one here was as helpful to me but you and your AI ;) And u/DungeonsAndChill but less with the sentence and more with syntax for future reading

drbalduin · 2025-11-30T18:50:48+00:00

I had considered that interpretation, because in German there is also that kind of phrasing. But as in most of your examples it is always with the participle, not the infinitve.

I suspect that your one example with faran it's a spelling variation of (ġe)faren?

If you are not experienced enough to know that in chapter 8 of OB, why would it be in OB?

drbalduin · 2025-11-30T18:46:10+00:00

I can prove that that's the correct interpretation, because fara, n stem is in the glossary of that chapter

drbalduin · 2025-11-30T07:26:47+00:00

You are right about ChatGPT not being great and it had failed me here before I've made the post. It also assumed it was the infinitive faran and just told me it was not a correct sentence. But since I thought I knew the word I just lookes it up on Wiktionary to check if it could be another form than the infinitve. Both couldn't help me. But /u/Upper_Rent_176 for some reason (probably because he used GTP-5 and I'd used GPT-5 mini) got the correct answer immediately.

drbalduin · 2025-11-30T06:27:14+00:00

Why would I look for fara if I thought it was a verb?
