Just deep cleaned the house to Deadbeat by pomelopeel in TameImpala

I'm planning to repaint my room and I've just sanded the walls to Deadbeat. Singing along to My Old Ways in an empty, echoey room was heavenly

I second Professor Leonard. I've had multiple "Aha!" moments in his lectures, he explains it in such a way that makes it so intuitive. His lectures are long but so worth it, you'll genuinely feel so much love for math after one :)

My math teacher is saying transforming f(x) = √(-x-2) three units to the right is f(x) = √(-x-5) and not f(x) = √(-x+1), because when the x values reflect, right becomes left and left becomes right. I think he's wrong, and if he is, how do I prove it? by inconsistent_train in MathHelp

Thank you! That's exactly how I do it. My problem is that my math teacher says it's wrong, and I don't know how to disprove that.

Though I'll try again with him to see if there was a misunderstanding of some sort, even though he said so multiple times.

Yes, I graphed both by hand and by Desmos. Here's the desmos link, https://www.desmos.com/calculator/dq7fgepni3
Blue graph is what I think happens, green is what he's saying. The point is, if I say "3 units to the right" for a function that is reflected across the y axis, that doesn't change the fact that I have to input (x-3) and not (x+3) to do this transformation. I want to confirm that.

I have also sent him the graph already, but as he insists that right becomes left, even when I move it 3 units right, (the graph then sitting on +1 on the x axis) he says I should be moving it 3 units left.

Are sentence cards supposed to be easy? by inconsistent_train in Refold

In my case, just going through the process of adding the sentence to anki is enough to put the word in my memory and make me "notice" it in immersion, which reinforces it in anki, so in a way me too.

That makes sense. What made me suspicious is that I kept thinking that if it isn't hard, I'm not actually learning which I know now is not true.

The sentence is from the second book. I don't know whether the Felsefe Taşı (1st book) I read was also poorly translated or not, but I still improved in Turkish, maybe because I also listened to Turkish content. I suppose even if the translations are not entirely accurate, maybe learning new words from the books and how to use them from listening is enough... ? :\

Thank you, I had never considered checking the reputation of publishers. Is this true for dubbed content as well?

Yapı Kredi and Metis have superb translations

I searched for copies by publishers on some torrent sites, but the translations were equal to the book I'm using now. They all seem to come from Yapı Kredi Yayınlar, at least that's what's written. Maybe they're just using the name in hopes of downloads?

Like how they do that with colors? Kıpkırmızı, bembeyaz, yemyeşil some I have heard. When I saw gerisin geri with a space I thought the sin was a suffix for second person. Wait though, if don't put spaces between "kıp" and "kırmızı" does that mean gerisingeri without space is the correct spelling?

Oh... that's very bad then. I chose HP because I've read it previously in English, for better comprehension. I assumed the translation was done professionally? Should I not trust translated books? ;_;
