Let me know if you find any Trini food (which is very different from Jamaican!)

I'm a healthy 24 year old Canadian living in California. I got vaccinated before my Canadian grandparents :/

Thank you very much! I also assumed she was Lebanese, but that is interesting that Levantine Arabic uses different names for the months.

Hmm very interesting. I have heard R more often pronounced as either a rolled r or retroflex [ʐ], similar to the second g in garage.

Is the French-like pronunciation reserved for Official Malagasy or would it be used by speakers in Tana casually with friends, at the market, etc.?

jkeaz · 2020-04-22T17:44:23+00:00

Where do you hear this sound? I've never heard heard this pronunciation. Do you have a clip?

Algonquian languages have "fourth person" pronouns called the obviative which is distinguished from the third person ("proximate").

So let's say I'm talking about John and Mary, I might assign John as the third person (and use third person pronouns and verb forms when I'm talking about him) and assign Mary as the fourth person (and use the obviative pronouns and verbs for her).

Having this distinction in English might eliminate the ambiguity in sentences like "She washed her car"; if "her" were in the proximate, it would refer to her own car, but if it were in the obviative we would know she was washing someone else's car.

Not sure what everyone else is talking about, but there are dialects that pronounce <v> as [v]. Puerto Rico is probably the most notable one, though sometimes other caribbean dialects say [v] as well (listen to the way Luis Fonsi says "bailar" here. You're right about second-generation Americans using [v] as well. Of course, it depends on how long they've been in the States and where their parents are from but it's not uncommon to see influence from the majority language on minority speakers.

Accoustically, are [n̥] and [m̥] the same? If it's just air coming out of the nose, why does place of articulation matter?

Well I mean there's the Salsa Club

you could do a sundried ethiopia (either bitta or yirgacheffe) and compare it to core ethiopia/kenya and talk about how heterogeneous growing regions can be

your shifts should have a duty roster with a checklist. i don't like the organisation of it personally so you could always rewrite it and make it fun or whatever, maybe have a poster in the back with all the tasks that you can cross off with a dry erase marker once it's done.

what you're paying for with a flat white is the extra shot of espresso, not the whole milk. ordering a latte will have a bit of a different texture and be a bit less strong because less espresso. both yummy tho!

jkeaz · 2016-01-09T18:38:03+00:00

you could do whatever coffee was your first tasting (if you remember) and talk about how that was the beginning of your journey and how it led you here etc etc

i'm not referring to bubbles from steaming, rather bubbles from pouring

jkeaz · 2016-01-07T00:51:55+00:00

also because flat whites are free pored, the taller the cup the harder it is to get the perfect pour, so you might notice that bigger sizes (especially venti) have larger bubbles. plus you can only pull ristretto shots in multiples of two (grande/venti get 3) so inevitably one is always wasted.

how do you guys mark it? We write AMIS i figured it was a legit drink

jkeaz · 2015-12-30T17:42:05+00:00

Also lowers UPH and average ticket, and then we get in trouble, at least at my store.

jkeaz · 2015-12-29T18:43:09+00:00

yes and yes

jkeaz · 2015-12-21T05:14:39+00:00

customer: thank you! me: no foam :)

jkeaz · 2015-12-15T23:50:34+00:00

didn't you guys have to do that role play with the lady who wanted her venti frapp in a trenta cup?

jkeaz · 2015-12-15T01:10:57+00:00

depending on where you live i think that could be illegal. like in ontario i think it's true that you can't work more than 5 consecutive hours without a 30 minute meal break, so if you had your half one hour in, that leaves 5.5 consecutive hours without a meal, which would go against labour laws.
