I remember posting about this stuff on here like 12 years ago

C'est possible qu'il y ait des groupes néerlandais plus récents *, qui sont connus ** en Allemagne, mais je ne les connais pas. *I'm nitpicking here but your English translation was recent. **Populair is a false cognate in standard French. It means common in the sense of class. On vient d'emménager...

I applied for a canadian passport last month, and apparently it's arrived now (my mum was born there so i'm a dual citizen). But I think I have to go and pick it up at the embassy, which is about an hour away. Blaaaah (I think I need to buy a hockey stick to celebrate or something. Or Tim Horton's l...

Pronouncing Craig to rhyme with Greg is very American.

and Graham and Graeme are the same

クッキーを食べすぎて、ちょっと病んだ。だが、もっと食べたい な 。 I ate too many cookies and I feel a bit sick. But I want to eat more. Japonés es un poco feo escrito. Los carácteres no tienen una densidad o complejidad uniforme. Ojalá que por fin tiraran los kanjis y escribirlo todo con hiragana, tal vez con espacios entre las p...

Das Umgestalten von meinem Arbeitsplatz ist jetzt im Gange und die Bauarbeiter benutzen die Toiletten direkt nebenan. Remodeling just got underway where I work and the construction workers are using the restrooms right outside my workspace. Das lenkt mich ab, gelinde gesagt. This is distracting to ...

Bedankt~ Maar ik zal met een andere vriendje blijven. Als dat niet kan gebeuren, zal ik je nogmaals vragen. ありがとう！でも、他の友達と泊まるつもりだから、それはプランBになるそう。起これないとまた聞くね。 Thanks! But i will stay with another friend, so i guess that's plan B. If it can't happen, i'll ask you again. ;) (I need to check, but I thi...

I was finally able to swim without my right shoulder hurting (I hurt my rotator cuff in a skiing accident in Feb). Trouble is, I just went and pulled a muscle in my left shoulder. :| (I don't think it's the same severity and it should just get better soon - it's not the same muscle after all - but g...

Merci, LB. Wat denken jullie van Azië? Wie hier is naar Azië geweest? Ik ben nooit ernaar geweest maar ik wil graag, omdat deze continent voor mij heel vreemd is. Ik heb geen geld om Azië nu te bezoeken maar misschien een dag, zal ik genoeg geld. Ik wil graag China, Zuid-Korea, Japan, en Mongolië b...

(I would assume, without context: ) "I can't let you see me being so pathetic"

Equally it could be "you can't let me see you" or any other configuration of pronouns.

("Show such a pitiful sight" doesn't strike me as idiomatic in English, nor indeed does the word pitiful)

wtf is this? can't you just link to an article?

If you ask someone how they are doing, and they say fine or okay , that typically means these days that they are not doing all that great. でもさ、トーンが大切、そんな言葉だったら。嬉しい感じでfineと言えるよ yeah but, tone is important with those words - ie. you can say "fine" with a 'happy' tone いつも生徒さんのso-soを調整してる（？）。正しくなくはないけど...

I have three days off next week. But it's probably going to rain according to my weather app. There go my camping plans. I mean I could still try and go... it's just not going to be the nicest of days for it. Ugh. I guess Japan's weather, despite climate change, is still predictable enough that I sh...

Eg. in France this is illegal Zut alors!* Creepshots are illegal in France?! Outrageous! On the other hand there's TubeCrush . *The Economist had 'zut alors!' on its front page recently and I saw a discussion on France 24 where everybody on the panel agreed it's something nobody says in France, ver...

Tabarnak! On a more serious note, I know most of these just by watching a lot of French movies in my late teens. Also I had a kid's French book that literally taught you how to say "fuck you" (Vas te faire foutre or something) although it said "too rude to translate". It was alongside some more old-...

gives you a good excuse not to pay the parking fee

お久しぶりです。あまり悪くないです。 ボクは もっと 頻繁にここにいたいです。 ohisashiburi desu. amari warukunai desu. boku wa yori hinpan ni koko ni itai desu. It's been a while. I'm not so bad. I want to be here more often. ~yori means "than ~", not "more", 'hinpan' is not so common, and i don't think i've heard いたい used like that. y...

なお、米国では権利があると、他の国でも権利があるかどうか、結論できない。
Furthermore, having that right in America doesn't mean you have the right in other countries too.

例えば、フランスだったら違反なんだよ。
Eg. in France this is illegal

German uses Mail in the same way as Swedish. Also, Shitstorm means specifically an online shit storm in comments or tweets etc. Open Air means an open-air dance party/concert. Years ago, my friends were shocked when I didn't know what they meant by "open-air". They were like "You should know this. ...

クリープ写真と言うのの理由があるさ。男でも
There's a reason they're called creep shots. For men too

Blugh. But remember that if you spend over ¥100,000 in one year you can claim it as a deductible expense on your tax return next year – that includes medical bills overseas and transport costs. I mean, that's still quite a lot but you can get some of it back at least. I'd have to ask my boyfriend fo...

Finlay, je mélange toujours les deux. Jal peut témoigner de combien de temps j'ai mélangé le néerlandais et l'allemand. Mais je fais pareil avec le français et l'espagnol. Finlay, I always mix the two. Jal can attest to how many times I have mixed up Dutch and German. But it's the same for me with ...
