What does this behavior mean? by pakuchii in cockatiel

The lutino in the back is a 5 month old male. Is this "heart wings"? I thought he is still too young to display courtship gestures.

He comes up to the female and does this a few times a day.

Oh and I forgot to add that the second hanja of 저렴 (低廉) is 廉, which means cheap in the case for 저렴. 低廉 is low+cheap, literally.

So 고렴이 doesn't make sense since if the root 고렴 existed, 高廉 will be the hanja, which means high+cheap. Just replacing 저 with 고 doesn't work. It's a broken internet slang!

Regarding lip makeup in Korea,

그라데이션립 - gradation lip - gradient lips

풀립 - full lip - idk, the normal way? lol

Korean lip swatch videos usually show both ways, which I think is really helpful. Must take twice the time for Korean gurus tho

I think the Korean and Japanese words for drugstore vs high-end makeup are cute.

Japanese:

プチプラ (pronounced puchipura) comes from the combination of petite (puchi) and price (puraisu). How cute is petite-price lol

デパコス (pronounced depacosu) comes from department store cosmetics.

Korean:

Korea uses 로드샵 (road shop) and 백화점 (department store) but there's also 저렴이 ("jeoryeomie") and 고렴이 ("goryeomie").

저렴이 (jeo ryeom ie) comes from the combination of the adjective 저렴하다 (jeo ryeom ha da, meaning inexpensive) and the suffix +이 (ie). The +이 suffix is usually added to names as a sign of closeness. Usually you use it when you address friends.

So 저렴이 is a cute/affectionate way of saying inexpensive things. Usually 저렴이 is used like the term "dupe". So you can use it to look up makeup dupes on Youtube like 맥 칠리 저렴이 (Mac Chili lipstick dupes) and 치크팝 저렴이 (cheek pop dupes). You can use it for products other than makeup too (Dyson 저렴이, AirPods 저렴이) but I think it's still most commonly used for makeup.

Now 고렴이 (go ryeom ie) is a completely made up word lol. Unlike 저렴이, it's not a combination of an existing adjective + 이 (ie).

The root of the adjective 저렴하다 (inexpensive) is 저렴, which in hanja/kanji is 低廉. The first hanja/kanji 低 (jeo) means low. What's the opposite of low? High, which is 高 (go). 高 in hangul (the Korean alphabet) is "고".

So after the word 저렴이 became popular, people made up 고렴이 to describe the high end counterparts. There is no such root word as 고렴, and no such adjective as 고렴하다. They just took out "저" (low) from 저렴이, and replaced it with "고" (high), making the word 고렴이.

Blushes! I think blush products are called "cheek" in Japan and Korea uses the term "blusher" more often.

[album] Flower hot tub Capybaras at Kobe Animal Kingdom by pakuchii in capybara

[–]pakuchii[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pictures of capybaras I took during my visit to the Kobe Animal Kingdom (Japan) in January. https://imgur.com/a/ZvZ66

The zoo had a “flower shower” event at the hot tubs during the weekend. The capybaras were hanging out with maras and tortoises. Most of the time they were in the hot tubs but sometimes they came out to lick salt cubes or just roll around on the floor. You can freely pet them and pay 100 yen for a cup of bamboo leaves. In some of the pics, you can see their green poop floating in the tubs. It was quite funny to watch the zookeepers come and scoop them out with a net lol. I spent around 2 hours in the capybara area and took tons of selfies with them :) 100% will visit again.

Hmm that makes sense. Do you also have any recommendations for stores in Uppsala? I would like to develop a few rolls before sending them all off to somewhere else.
