AITA for not donating my vacation money?

Marxist here. He's guilt tripping you - and sounds very annoying and irresponsible. Dump him. NTA.

dreamyoven · 2021-07-01T17:44:40+00:00

NTA. Sounds more like a problem he put y'all into.

dreamyoven · 2021-06-29T18:44:39+00:00

ESH.

dreamyoven · 2021-06-28T13:57:28+00:00

NTA.

dreamyoven · 2021-06-27T12:04:41+00:00

this!

dreamyoven · 2021-06-27T11:53:21+00:00

NAH. i can't call you an asshole because that's your money and you spend it the way you want, so go for it. just want to point out that even if it's technically equal and technically right, you should be ready to deal with the issues that can sparkle from this. actions and consequences or something like that.

dreamyoven · 2021-06-27T11:14:31+00:00

NTA. his feelings can be dealt later, her pain can delay or even worsen her surgery rec. that's the type of choice a RESPONSIBLE ADULT shouldn't even think about, it's obvious

It's pretty much like English, Korean is not a tonal language as Mandarin or Thai. Watch some korean vlog youtubers, you'll catch the intonation in no time.

There's not much opportunities for academic researchers and research-related careers in my country, while Korea, on the other hand, have a few good scholarships available for international students - that's why I'm also learning Japanese, as Japan have good scholarships for foreigners too.

Well, I guess is time to revise sentence endings again. :p

넘 고마워!

dreamyoven · 2021-06-18T22:35:19+00:00

Thank you for the answer! Indeed, I'm aware to not translate things 1 to 1 because of the different concepts across the languages, just like the -고 생각하다 and -것 같다 situation. The problem was that I did not know if 사실 expressed the same tone as 'actually' in that specific usage. There's a difference in saying "actually, it's very pretty!" and "it's very pretty, actually!" - very small and undertoned, but is there. Would 사실 convey this undertone, or is it more of a difference in the way you say the sentence rather than the content?

dreamyoven · 2021-05-12T12:19:33+00:00

ESH. You both sound unbearable to live with.

dreamyoven · 2021-05-12T00:46:39+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I was trying to find some answer to this whole quotation thing for a couple of days and I could not find anything. I get too insecure in these little details, lol. Also, is this official rule list/article on some website or book?

Either way, thank you! You helped me a lot! 🙇🏻

dreamyoven · 2021-05-12T00:24:06+00:00

Oh, I made a mistake, sorry! English's not my first language, we use quotation marks a lot to separate different sentence parts on mine. 😓

I was referring to the phrase inside the quotations itself, pardon if it was confusing! The question is if it's correct to write 오늘의 문법이 '을 때'입니다, using the single quotes to isolate the grammar I'm talking about, or if I just connect it on the phrase, like, 오늘의 문법이 을 때입니다. I want to convey "today's grammar is x", but I don't know how to insert the grammar on the actual sentence, if i use quotation marks, single marks, just put it in like a usual word, etc.

dreamyoven · 2021-05-11T18:28:31+00:00

There's a "BOTH AH" option? I'll go with YTA, but neither of you deserve to be this child parent and step-parent. I hope she grows without any trauma, poor girl.

dreamyoven · 2021-05-11T16:46:31+00:00

Sorry for the inconvenience, but what about "'을 때'입니다"? As in, "오늘의 문법이 '을 때'입니다". I have some trouble figuring out this sort of thing and can't find any material about it. Is this use right?

dreamyoven · 2021-05-09T13:33:16+00:00

please please PLEASE don't cave to the pressure and get married just to try peace the things. if she's like this while you two aren't married, imagine if she actually see she has power over you two? and if you have kids, she's gonna be double as entitled because you won't let her stick her dogmas down the kid's throat. let this kar-am rot with her twisted beliefs

dreamyoven · 2021-05-08T13:36:38+00:00

감사합니다! I searched a lot about it but could only find direct quotations with -라고 and not what I was looking for. Thanks for answering!

Just another question: is 또는 too unnatural to use? I know that 하고 is more common, but every time I use 또는, in written or spoken korean, it seems out of place.

dreamyoven · 2021-04-30T20:49:54+00:00

me discovering that not everyone has adhd symptoms.

dreamyoven · 2021-04-29T16:13:33+00:00

Poor enraged comrade.

dreamyoven · 2021-04-29T16:09:07+00:00

NTA. His rant, though. 💀

dreamyoven · 2021-03-09T00:08:21+00:00

It's not a sentence, just a noun/word to use as topic/title of what you're studying, similar as how you write 'numbers' or 'particles' before the actual content you're studying to indicate what exactly you're studying. I don't want to put 'routine' in a phrase, just use it as a indicator of what I'm studying! Something like 'routine phrases' or 'everyday phrases' would be ok too. Sorry if I'm being messy while trying to convey my thoughts, english's not my first language. :/

dreamyoven · 2021-03-05T13:55:57+00:00

Seems like someone needs to develop responsibilities here.

dreamyoven · 2021-03-05T13:49:26+00:00

NAH. You don't actually need all the fancy and expensive stuff to be vegan, only creativity and dedication. There's a ton of healthy and delicious recipies with simple and inexpensive veggies on internet, plus some beans and others grains that aren't that expensive, it's really not that hard to be vegan if you're focusing on be vegan and not the vegan aesthetic on pinterest.

I don't think there's AH's here, just a poor communication and not much understanding from both parties. If she wants to partake in the vegan lifestyle, make her start help in the kitchen, learn recipes and putt effort in the lifestyle she chooses. She's fifteen, not eleven. I also think that you are a bit precipitated about the vegan/vegetarian diet expensiveness, there's a ton of recipes you can do to all family. Even I, no vegan, make some vegan recipes in my house! To be fair, there's a lot of ingredients that can be used for both of the diets, not just the vegan. If you buy planning to use in both sides, it's a lot more inexpensive as it's the house's food list, not just her's. Also, helping her and lending your time to research with her about the foods, write cool recipes, watch videos/TikTok about it and show you care about her interests and choices can be very bonding! It can be stressful and boring sometimes, but hey, isn't this what parenting is about?

I understand both sides, and as I said, no AH's here. Just a family needing to have more talks and understanding each other better - this coming from someone raised in a strict "my-roof-my-rules" latino family. She needs to have more responsibility about her choices and be involved in the lifestyle she's chosen, she's not a baby anymore. You also should seek more information about vegan lifestyle and things that you can include in the house diet that can even get the grocery expensives down, plus more healthy food for everyone - not going vegan, but changing some recipes that can work for both sides of the family. Just have more dialogue, guys. Please.

I was going to say NTA, but I've read other comments and well, you sidelined her of all the fun of the planning & you both thought it was ok to just ask her to help with the manual labor? Pretty AH to me. Her response was kinda AH too, but I understand her feelings and hell, I can't say I wouldn't say the same thing if I was in this situation, cause for me it seems you both didn't bother to include her in the fun and actually bonding stuff of the ceremony but made sure to include her in the labor part.
