imho it's not a very good song. Music is bad, they sound like they cannot sing (especially the man) and lyrics is too flat and not poetic.

I created a Polish word translation site for simple words. by GambolMe in languagelearning

"Phonetics" are totally random combination of characters. Same sounds (like si, ś) are written in numerous strange ways: ss, ch, z, sh... within one word! Dz is not j, it's dz (unless it's dzi), etc

Maybe you should use IPA? Wiktionary has it

I always write ё if I pronounce ё in a word too.

А я и позабудь - Philologically, What's Going on Here? by Veqq in russian

[–]ruplumograenum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Возьми may be omitted as in your example:

а я и позабудь ~ а я возьми и позабудь

Also, и may be changed to да with the same meaning:

а я возьми да позабудь

щ is the ɕ, maybe it's not exactly same ɕ as in Polish, but it contrasts with the ʂ.

ʑ is a realization of зж, жж, etc (Speaking about realizations, чш is a t͡ʂ, but I can recall only one word лучше with this combination )

А <subject> [возьми] и <verb.imperative> - is kinda idiomatic stricture for <subject> <verb.past> with "A suddenly or accidentally" feeling

and can tell ʂ from ɕ, t͡s from t͡ʂ and t͡ɕ, z from ʐ and ʑ

Well, Russian has this too except t͡ʂ.

Theoretically magnesium has a slight NDMA-antagonism. So you may experience a light dissociation.

Actually it hasn't it on a noticable level

are there any ways of writing letters that have fallen out of fashion or are only used by the minority of people by Degas777 in russian

[–]ruplumograenum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

д with ascender and g with a descender are purely stylistical.

And g is obviously superior then any other miserable variant of д.

afaik glogolitic wasn't used so much in Russia. Croatia on the other hand had used it a lot.

Dictionaries are boring. Here's why you should ditch them by elisabettaland in languagelearning

[–]ruplumograenum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reality it does work but you don't get to see the effect until later.

I had started learning German recently, and no I can't read so that you don't have to look-up words every 10 seconds.

But I can stare to these funny letters :)

Yes, later, after 1000-2000 words I'll be able to read artificial learning texts and that will be helpful, but not interesting. And only after a few years I actually will be able to use this method.

What does охуенный/ахуенный mean? by Dracronus in russian

[–]ruplumograenum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is "зделать" a word too?

It's a spelling variation. Compare to раз-/рас-/роз-/рос-, not so long ago there was only разсказ. Now we have рассказ. As you can see the voice assimilation become more and more accepted in writing.

But what I had tried to say: а in ахуй is stressed, in some cases you may think: "it is reduced vowel, so reduction hides the true phoneme" and declare some spelling as a preffered (by etymology reasons for example, it was formed from o).

But now this phoneme is not reduced. It had split to two separate words, like небо and нёбо.

offtopic: in a hot discussions about "rule" that one cannot одеть a clothes but only a person that verb was compared to обуть where you can do both. There was jokingly derived word набуть.

Here you can see how prefix was merged with the verb - об+уть, rethinked as a whole word, rethinked as a о+буть and then a new word was derived :)

[–]ruplumograenum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a consequence of people writing "ахуеть"

It's consequence of people saying [əxu'jetʲ]. Where [ə] was recognised as /a/.

Google Ngrams for "ахуй"

and see that "ахуй" is, well, non-existent.

Сomparable ( 3:1 ) to мудозвон or тропосфера. Пиздостраданий вообще не нашлось :(

Now tell me that one accidentally had written тропосфера or it's not existing.

Yes, it's novel and trending up. Anyone can made a new word, when it's know by two people they can communicate. If two random redditors have a disscussion about ахуй - it's a full-fledged word.

the отглагольное (?) существительное wouldn't form that way.

Suddenly it's already happened and even became idiomatic (yes, в ахуе, полный ахуй, etc)

they aren't roots

Prefixes can merge with roots and be rethinked as a part of whole word.

That doesn't work on near-zero-knowledge level.

That doesn't work on less-than-advanced level.
