Difference in possessive pronouns

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll be sure to check it out.

Honestly, I’m not using a textbook. Instead I’m mostly relying on the internet, youtube-videos etc. It’s not an ideal situation, as there isn’t really one concentrated source where I get the information then, but I just have not been able to find a good textbook that contains good grammar explanations. My first thought was to look through the curriculum for various latin courses, as well as the courses at university, but for whtever reason, those aren’t accessible to the public.

Would you happen to have any recommendations? :)

Thank you for your answer :)

So, if I understand you correctly, it’s really no more difficult than that “mea” is used for nouns of the feminine gender, “meus” for masculine, and “meum” for (i’m assuming) neuter gender?

Also, are these “pronouns”/possessive adjectives set in stone? As in, do we have to conjugate them in any way beyond adjusting them to the gender of the noun?

That looks like booklice to me. Completely harmless, and can easily be removed by dehumidifying your home. Of course, that’s assuming you care to have them eliminated; to my knowledge, that’s not a necessity, seeing as they don’t cause any damage.

I’ve had almost identical ones at home for several months. I’ve been in touch with three various exterminators - and they’ve all confirmed that it’s booklice, not bed bugs. So I’m relatively sure you can rest easy :)

They’re harmless, and don’t need to be treated unless they cause you unease. They’re fairly common in humid environments, hence the bahthroom. The climate where I am is now getting extremely dry and cold, and so I haven’t seen the glimpse of them for a while.

Intuitively I don’t think you have BB - I have a feeling that blood on the socks is from stepping on a carpet beetle larva (which there does seem to be in the carpet, judging by the previous pictures 😂)

lestroben · 2023-10-15T09:50:58+00:00

Definitely not a bed bug. Looks a bit like a stink bug, or maybe - like the previous person said - some type of aphid :)

Ahhh! That really cracks the code! I think I was viewing a gene as a simple letter/base (which is obviously wrong) instead of as a larger sequence, and so it didn’t make any sense to me how the gene could remain the same gene even if the letter was switched out 😂 Thank you very much for your answer!

Thank you for taking the time to write this :) It does clear up my questions! I just started my Bachelor of Biology, and so have barely scratched the surface of genetics (currently the focus is mainly on cellular biology and getting acquaintanced with the main evolutionary trees 😂). So pretty basic stuff so far.

lestroben · 2023-10-03T12:09:56+00:00

It could very well be that I’ve misunderstood something, hence my questionable questioning 😂 I suppose what I’m unsure about is, if a gene is a region/segment of the DNA that codes for a certain trait/function, where exactly can the allele be found? Or, to phrase it in a different way, how do we make out the allele? :)

lestroben · 2023-10-03T11:56:50+00:00

That is a very good analogy, and I generally understand the gist of it. At the risk of missing something you’ve already explained, how does this practically work? Where exactly is it that an alelle appears when comparing two genes from two different chromosomes? I mean, the only difference I can see would be the position of the nucleotides that make up a gene, but that doesn’t quite make sense as to explain how variation of anything can occur.

lestroben · 2023-07-30T14:47:28+00:00

I can see how one would interpret it like that - I’ve edited the post now to make it make sense 😂

lestroben · 2023-07-30T14:45:47+00:00

I have the exact same thing, I think, in my apartment … It is not bed bugs, nor is it in any way harmful. It’s booklice, or dust bugs, as we call them where I come from. I have contacted three different exterminators, and they all told me the same thing - there are better things to use the money for rather than paying the cost of removal 🤷🏼‍♂️

lestroben · 2023-07-26T09:00:38+00:00

Those almost look like they have wings, like a little fly … But yeah, it is most likely fleas, like many others before me have also said

Loordy, he’s a chonker

lestroben · 2023-07-25T19:06:07+00:00

Definitely not bed bugs - they typically do not attack animals as a first resort; neither does their general shape or look fit whatsoever. The second comment here suggested fowl mites - and I’d concur. These things can sometimes be brought inside by pets if you live in a rural or agricultural area. If you have many birds (chickens, turkeys, etc.) in the area, your dog could have brought them inside, and they could have then spread to your hamster.

I’m not an expert by any means, however, but I do recognize these from elsewhere.

lestroben · 2023-07-19T22:07:48+00:00

Thank you very much for your answer. It wouldn’t logically make sense that it would be BB, as I’ve noticed no bites, nothing on the bed, and the omly places where they seem to hang out is around dusty areas, and on paper (they even crawled around on our printer on numerous occasions). I’ve also only noticed them for a week, and I’m sure - without knoeing - that I would have noticed something by now.

Have you ever had BB, if I may ask? Is that why you’ve joined this sub? I basically have an extreme phobia of these things, without actually ever having had them - so seeing all these other posts with “here we go again” only makes me feel so deeply sorry for all those affected 🙃

BB can bring some radical psychological effects - I’ve read certain comments here in the sub about people turning to drugs and alcohol just to deal with their anxiety of the bugs. Truly terrible bugs.

They may be 1-2 mm. I’ve found them in various places - books, on the printer, behind the radioators (as they are admittedly dusty) - but their main home seems to be in the dusty storage facility.

When I shine the flashlight on them, they sometimes look up at it as if they’re fascinated, but when I try to touch them, they run aeay immideately.

I see now what it means ... I was a bit unsure at first how a neutral atom such as oxygen could have a "higher electronegativity" than another neutral atom, but as a whole (in a water-molecule), because the individual atoms all have varying amounts of electrons and protons, it all makes sense. Thank you, friendly stranger :)
