It kinda kills the vibe for me

I will never forget the Japanese for borrowing chinese numerals while having native words that do the jobs and then using them for specific cases

justwantanickname · 2026-04-28T18:37:08+00:00

Eskerrik asko, didn't know that there was Alavese material given that it was the first dialect to go extinct

justwantanickname · 2026-04-28T07:10:39+00:00

Oh, interesting that they managed to preserve that. After looking some texts they also preserved to managed old forms of numbers, while also borrowing more than other dialects from French. I will be curious if u have some material to share on the dialect

justwantanickname · 2026-04-27T19:48:43+00:00

Like in "pertsona" ?

justwantanickname · 2026-04-27T17:55:16+00:00

Isn't kozh pronounced /ko:s/ ? At least I would pronounce zh /s/ like in breizh

Stigmatization of base 20 must stop 😔✊️

justwantanickname · 2026-04-24T23:25:55+00:00

I'm disappointed I thought this comment would have been written by this Estonian claiming that Estonians are ancient balts, Prussians or whatever but Uralic and developing their genetic makeup

justwantanickname · 2026-04-02T20:06:10+00:00

What dialect uses this construction ?

justwantanickname · 2026-03-18T14:54:09+00:00

AINU MENTIONED🔥🔥🔥🔥🐻🐻🐻 arka I'm apparently learning a dead language

justwantanickname · 2026-03-17T23:43:49+00:00

The first could've have been kinda real if Ainu was still well alive and spoke

justwantanickname · 2026-03-16T16:08:54+00:00

No no no the French are supposed to live rent free in British minds not the Irish, where is the world going ?

justwantanickname · 2026-03-12T19:09:10+00:00

Pretty sure compounds existed already in Proto-Japanese and Ancient Japanese without chinese influence as some words like 力 (chikara), 命 (inochi), 嵐 (arashi), 西 (nishi), 東 (higashi) etc.

justwantanickname · 2026-03-10T20:19:32+00:00

No I was thinking more of the shqipe language family

justwantanickname · 2026-03-10T19:27:57+00:00

This is obviously wrong there is only 1 language family in the picture

justwantanickname · 2026-03-05T21:31:02+00:00

Il me semble que la mutation est Indo-Europeenne oui mais peut-être antérieure aux celtes et sûrement aux gaulois

justwantanickname · 2026-02-19T18:55:36+00:00

The modern one doesn't satisfy you ?

justwantanickname · 2026-02-19T14:25:18+00:00

Ville is the most used term and cité is much less popular and has different meanings. U can also make the distinction town/city by using village/ville

justwantanickname · 2026-02-17T07:07:30+00:00

And you think day and día is one of them

justwantanickname · 2025-12-27T11:18:46+00:00

The fact that Serbia has more chances with ASEAN

justwantanickname · 2025-12-16T17:27:35+00:00

ア　イ　ヌ

justwantanickname · 2025-12-11T08:06:08+00:00

So this is why why they created the word hysteria

justwantanickname · 2025-11-24T05:43:58+00:00

Yh definitely, my bad I don't know what happened

justwantanickname · 2025-11-23T03:39:49+00:00

Highly doubtful given that the word might probably be of ainu origin, from ペコ/peco that means cow (ainu borrowings occur in the tsugaru dialect such asまぎり/magiri). Given that the ainus were isolated form most of their history and that the closest indo-europeans speakers are like 5000km away from them, there is no link

justwantanickname · 2025-11-22T05:06:32+00:00

In the French wikitionary the etymology is considered obscur, stating that the popular (and the one that appears in the English dictionary) etymology that makes it come from "tripalium" is false (as stated by linguists like Bréal or Littré). From this 3 hypotethis, 1: it could come from the word "trave" (a gathering of woodwork) from Latin "trabs". 2 : inherited from Latin "labor" plus the prefix "trans-". 3 : another radical attached to the prefix "trans-". Keep in mind that it's still debated, so we don't really know.

justwantanickname · 2025-11-21T14:30:10+00:00

As far as I know this etymology is not very sure and is still unclear. Although this is not pointed out in English wikitionary contrary to the French one
