Tomorrow I'm going on a road trip with some coworkers. We're headed to Shimane, 700km from Tokyo. There's seven of us, but only two drivers, and I'm one of the drivers. Plus I have to leave at 6. Oh dear.
(I haven't packed yet either. it's 11:15 in the evening)

Да, и нормально. В последнее время был у нас тут знойный период с температурами около 40 градусов (а дождя уже пять месяцев не идёт :p), а у меня настоящей работы ещё нет, то я весь день нахожусь на пляже, в парке, или просто дома под мазганом, а между тем учусь языками, сплю с парнями, а на выходные буду присматривать за кошечками друга. А в Шимане как было? Кажется, что ты всегда путешествуешь куда-то.

Yep, and fine. Recently we've been having a really hot period with temperatures around 40 degrees (and it hasn't rained for five months :p), and I don't have a proper job yet so all day I'm either at the beach, in the park, or just at home under the A/C, and in the meantime I'm learning languages and sleeping with guys, and at the weekend I'm going to babysit a friend's cats.

Here also it's been raining a lot. I really do love thunderstorms. That's one of the things that I'll definitely miss once I'm in Israel. On Sukkot they start praying for rain, so maybe the rain comes back at the end of September. I really hope so.

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
кондиционер is what Russians call it and apparently Georgians too.
Wait, Ziz, what did you mean with that line about A/C not being common in Russia? Obviously, Russian climate entails less usage of such appliances but how is it related to the words?!

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
Eu vou visitar Lituânia no final desse mês. Eu nunca fui lá, e eu queria saber o que tem lá pra ver. Eu vou visitar Vilnius, más eu posso visitar outros regiões da Lituânia tambem. Eu acho que Lituânia é um país bem barato, e os tickets de trem não sera muito caro? Sera que tem uma sistema de trem lá?
Eu não falo nenhum palavra da lingua. Sera que a gente fala Inglês (ou pelo menos alemã) la?
Esse país é, pra mim, totalmente alienígena, más os vôos pra Lituânia são muitos baratos para esse distância, e eu vou visitar um amigo la (que eu conheço da vida real e não do internet).
I will visit Lithuania at the end of this month. I have never been there, and I would love to know what there is to see there. I will visit Vilnius, but I could also visit other regions of the country. I think Lituania is a very cheap country, and the train tickets aren't very expensive? Do they even have trains?
I do not speak a single word of the language. Would the people know English there, or at least German?
It is a completely alien country to me, however the flights there are ridiculously cheap for such a long distance and I will visit a friend there (met in real life not on the internet).

In werkelikheid zijn aircos nogal gebruikelijk in Rusland; de zomers kunnen erg heet zijn zelfs in Rusland, en nog meer in de Centraal-Aziatische en Kaukasische voormalige republieken van de Sovjet-Unie, waar Russisch nog een belangrijke taal is.
Actually, A/Cs are quite common; summers can be very hot even in Russia, and even more in the Central Asian and Caucasian former Republics of the Soviet Union, where Russian still is an important language.

Oprócz Wilna, możesz także zwiedzać Kowno (muzeum Čiurlionisa) i Palangę (plaża). Zamek w Trokach także jest pięknym. Istnieją pociągi w Litwie. W wielkich miastach możesz znajdować przynajmniej kilku ludzi, którzy mówią po angielsku albo niemiecku.
Behalve Vilnius kun je ook Kaunas (Čiurlionismuseum) en Palanga (strand) bezoeken. Het Kasteel Trakai is oog mooi. Er zijn treinen in Litouwen. In de grote steden zul je tenminste enkele mensen vinden, die Engels of Duits praten.

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
I only installed one exactly 3 years ago because I quite simply couldn't sleep at night resulting in being like a complete zombie on the next day, not nice when you have to go to work. Since then I've used it primarily for heating and rarely for cooling. I had exactly the same problem in Georgia, except when we went camping up in the mountains, there was not a single night when I wouldn't be drowning in my own sweat, one night in Batumi I felt like I was actually going to burst from the internal body heat while tossing and turning in bed, when we were back to Tbilisi I thought of going to a hotel for a night or two but that would have been an insult to my incredibly hospitable and nice host, but godverdomme the heat at night... ugh... somehow he didn't have any problem sleeping and during the day he was the to complain about the heat, whereas I can perfectly not only tolerate ~40º but actually enjoy it.
Europe north of the Alps certainly doesn't consider it a luxury, but simply not a necessity since normally you'd have max a week or two of heatwave in summer. My friend who lives in Munich said people were quite happy about the hot summer temps there. You also have to consider most people don't live in a detached house and if you're gonna put an A/C you'd need to deal with anal laws and regulation what you can put on the outside of the building.
I found Israel a bit too A/Ced, when I was there it was the first week of May, the temps were in the high 20s up to max 31-32, quite reasonable and tolerable, but they'd blast cold air from the A/C on the buses as if it's 50º outside.

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
À propos, j'ai eu besoin hier de mettre la climatisation. Il était trop chaud... le pire c'est que j'ai un metabolisme bas avec beaucoup de tolerance à la chaleur, et je me déshydrate avant que je ne m'en rende compte. Et puis j'ai mal à la tête et je me sens malade. Aujourd'hui j'essaierai de la mettre en marche à l'avance.
Incidentally, I needed to turn the AC on yesterday. It was too hot... the worst is that I have a low metabolism with a lot of tolerance for heat, so I dehydrate before I realize it. And then I get headaches and feel unwell. I'll try to turn it on beforehands today.
You need AC to chill.

私のトイレはサウナの感じになってる。日本では(っていうか、東京で。北のほうはたぶん要らないと思う)エアコンはもちろん必要だけど、他の室で、例えばトイレ・シャワー・キチンで、エアコンはほとんどない。理由はわからないのだ。冬でも北極までの冒険に行くと感じてた。
My toilet feels like a sauna now. Aircon is really a necessity in Japan (or rather Tokyo - northern parts you could probably get away without it), but in other rooms, like the shower/toilet/kitchen, there usually isn't aircon. I don't get it... in winter too, it feels like I'm going on an arctic exhibition.

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
So, why can't you pluralise 'AC' then? Presumably it stands for air conditioner and not air conditioning.
Also, to add something to the above: http://www.german-way.com/german-phobia-killer-draft/
To the best of my knowledge forced air in Europe quite simply doesn't exist, or maybe it does in the big homes of rich people, but I wouldn't know.

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
I definitely think you can pluralise 'AC', though I wouldn't say 'air conditioner' and neither would I pluralise 'air conditioning'. 'AC', although it's presumably a shortening of 'air conditioning', is countable for me.

Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
Not IMD. AC = air conditioning, and this is uncountable. If you wanted to both pluralise and abbreviate, it would be need to be something like "AC units". I would be interested in hearing some examples from Yng's dialect. To me, "air conditionings" sounds as awful as "heatings" or "parkings".Io wrote:So, why can't you pluralise 'AC' then? Presumably it stands for air conditioner and not air conditioning.
Gestern bin ich am Strand zum ersten Mal in der Saison gewesen. Im Juni war's zu kalt, Juli war zu regnerisch und im August ist bisher zuviel los gewesen. Aber gestern ist meine zweiwochige Rollenspiel-Sitzung ausgefallen und ich ging dorthin zusammen mit einem Süßen, den ich am vorigen Abend kennengelernt hatte.
Yesterday I made it to the beach for the first time this year. June was too cold, July too rainy, and August has been too crazy. But yesterday my biweekly RPG session got cancelled and went there with a cutie who I'd met the night before.
Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way
Well, I don't really say 'AC', either - I feel like it's sort of an Americanism. I may have misinterpreted it or reanalysed it. I don't know whether this is an idiosyncrasy of mine or of BrE or what. I agree that 'air conditioners' - even 'air conditioner', actually - sound a bit weird. And I wouldn't pluralise 'air conditionings'. It's just that AC refers to... I guess... the machine? For me? I'm not even sure if this is how air conditioning works. I don't think it's very common in the UK.

Though "belangrijke" is correct Dutch, I'd say "veelgebruikte" or the like.hwhatting wrote:In werkelijkheid zijn airco's nogal gebruikelijk in Rusland; de zomers kunnen ook in Rusland zelf erg heet zijnzelfs in Rusland, en nog meer in de Centraal-Aziatische en Kaukasische voormalige Sovjetrepubliekenvan de Sovjet-Unie, waar Russisch nog een belangrijke taal is.[/color][/b]
I think I'd add a hyphen between Ciurlionis and museum, and "zul je tenminste enkele mensen vinden", though grammatically correct, sounds weird idiomatically here. "praten" means that they are actually conversing in the language, otherwise use "spreken". I'd say something like "In de grote steden zijn er altijd wel mensen te vinden die Engels of Duits spreken" or the like. Also, avoid the German comma :).hwhatting wrote:Behalve Vilnius kun je ook Kaunas (Čiurlionis-museum) en Palanga (strand) bezoeken. Het Kasteel Trakai is ook mooi. Er zijn treinen in Litouwen. In de grote steden zul je tenminste enkele mensen vinden,die Engels of Duits praten.
Again German commas (all three :)), and I'm not sure how to translate "it's only natural". Perhaps, given the context, "dus is het niet zo vreemd" or the like.hwhatting wrote:Ik neem aan,dat dit de mensen zijn,met wie hij de meeste gelegenheid heeft,om Russisch te oefenen, dus is het maar natuurlijk.
Ich habe nicht soviel Zeit, etwas längeres zu schreiben. Ich ware vor zwei Wochen nach Dänemark auf Urlaub. Es war spaß. Die Kinder haben auch sehr viel Spaß gehat. Jetzt wieder zurück. Das Wetter ist hier nicht so gut als es in Dänemark war.
I haven't got much to write something longer. I've been to Denmark for two weeks. It was fun. The kids have also had mich fun. Now [I'm] back again. The weather here is not as good as it was in Denmark.
