Damn you, Sal!

Lockdown drills are for any emergency where evacuation would be inappropriate; an active shooter would definitely count as such as a situation. It is not specifically tailored to/meant for shootings though. We close the lights and windows, put black paper in front of door windows and all hide in th...

Thankfully this buzzword "fusion" doesn't seem to be much of a thing here, but every second restaurant aggressively uses the English word "bowl" as if it's really fucking cool.

Ini Swahili idiyolekisikalaiza kwa Ingilishi kwa umolesi. Migomemba mawadi, bati mikifogeti mawadi masamu, noiwobia purobulemu. Nominoiteka kwa ushiriki tu! It's English-lexicalised Swahili, more or less. I'll remember the words, but if I forget some words, it won't be a problem. I'm not taking it ...

Diswa ini langwiji minayomeka mikiijaita nana.
This is a language I'm making up as I write it.

Why get a pedigree breed dog when you can get a mongrel fusion pupper!!

Ndio! Mpangilio wa maneno wa Kimaori ni mgumu sana. Kamusi hizi ni nzuri! Yeah! Maori syntax is really hard. These dictionaries are good. Ngā mihi nui, e hoa. Āe, he whēuaua te wetereo o te reo, te mea ai he rerekē rawa atu tēnā i taua o te reo Ingarihi. Asante sana, rafiki. Ndiyo, mpangilio wa man...

Swahili has a bit of height based harmony. The applicative suffix is -i- or -e- (or -li- or -le- after a vowel. Which one occurs depends on the previous vowel of the stem, with -e- coming after e or o and -i- after a, i, u.

I don't know I how it formed though

Kiswahili chako ni kizuri! Your Swahili is good! Asante, lakini Kiswahili changu si kizuri na Kiswahili chako ni kizuri kweli :) . Je niliweza kusema pia 'nilienda/nilikuwa baani' kwa 'nilienda kwenye baa'? Thanks, but my Swahili isn't that good and yours is very good. Could I also have said 'I wen...

– Then, after rolling for a while, we got stopped for about an hour between Jemelle and Libramont because a train in front of us had caught fire. Was it the train in front of you that you would have been on if the Tube hadn't made you late? :-P Maybe it's a Saigonese thing? It's interesting because...

because ten hours a day without sleep or weekends is a bit much. Najpierw czytałem "10 tygodni bez snu." To brzmiało strasznie! D'abord j'avais lu "10 semaines sans sommeil". Ça sonnait effrayant! Eerst had ik "10 weken zonder slaap" gelezen. Dat klonk vreselijk. I first read "10 weeks without slee...

I've never seen banh mi at any Vietnamese restaurant.

language tables Watu husema hilo? Do people say this? Mal googeln! Try googling! Wie heissen sie bei dir? What d'y'all call 'em? Sijui. Hivyo niliuliza. Tangu nilipong'amua wazo hili, nimesema Stammtisch hata kwa Kiingereza. Ninapoongea na mtu asiyejua Kijerumani, sasa ninasema meet-up , lakini kam...

Ah, I knew the word "roa" too, but I'd forgotten.

Sometimes I get frustrated in German when I want to say something like "I'm taller but he's bigger than me." I usually respond by saying Ich bin größer als er [vertical hand movement] aber er ist größer als ich [expanding in all directions hand movement] and people always tell me I should say schwe...

J'aime vraiment lire ton swahili parce qu'il est plein de sémitismes, et des fois je vois des mots venants de l'arabe ( lakini , dubu ) qui je reconnais de l'hébreu ( lakhen , dov ). I like reading your Swahili because it's full of semiticisms, and sometimes I see words from Arabic ( lakini , dubu ...

Vielleicht war das mit Absicht, aber ich finde, dass diese Sätze verschiedene Bedeutungen haben. Der gute olle Hans-Werner kann dir ja sagen, dass das oft mit meinen Aeusserungen der Fall ist. Good ol' Hans-Werner can tell you that's often the case with what I post here. Sikutambua mpaka sasa. Kama...
