Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
Crec que és l'alemany el que és molt verbós i lletrós.
I think it's German which is very verbose and litterose.

Yes, I wasn't nine years old in 2003, I was just exaggerating.
Why specify the age that exactly if overexaggerating?

But I didn't specify an age. I was exaggerating. Nine was just a really small number that I exaggerated by means of it.

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
Freely productive prepositions have ar- on them and I think it marks direction or something, so oyslozn is leaving sth out(side) and aroyslozn is letting sth out(ward).
Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
I'd assume it's related to German her-. In prescriptivist standard German, its meaning is "towards the speaker" (as opposed to hin- "away from the speaker"), but in colloquial German, it's mostly shortened to r- and used vaguely directional, without accounting for the speaker's position.Astraios wrote:Freely productive prepositions have ar- on them and I think it marks direction or something, so oyslozn is leaving sth out(side) and aroyslozn is letting sth out(ward).
Prescriptivist Standard:
Wer hat euch herausgelassen? "Who let you out?" (Speaker standing outside).
Wer hat euch hinausgelassen? "Who let you out?" (Speaker standing inside).
Colloquial:
Wer hat euch rausgelassen? "Who let you out?" (Independent of speaker's location).
Kto wypuścił was?
Who let you out?

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
Oh interesting, and probably. Yiddish has aher and ahin but I don't think they can combine with other prepositions like that - heroys and hinoys aren't very common as prefixes from a quick googling, and then mostly in very German Yiddish. Or actual German written as if Yiddish, maybe.

Ich habe ein kleines, rotes Sofa gefunden und nach Hause getragen. In meinem Zimmer ist es sehr groß. Ich muss noch mein Zimmer umräumen. Vielleicht passt es nicht.
Küçük kırmızı bir kanepe bulup eve taşıdı. Odamda çok büyük. Odamın biçimini değiştirmek zorunda olacağım. Belki uymayacak.
I found a little red couch and carried it home. It's very big in my room. I'm going to have to rearrange my room. Maybe it won't fit.

If it is too big in your room, then you should put it in a different one. Maybe it will shrink.
