Imralu, si tu lis meticuleusement, je n'ai rien dit au sujet de la récrimination de Finlay en anglais; mais au sujet du fait qu'il a dit que les parlants d'autres langues qui ne satisfont pas ses susceptibilités nationalistes soyent ignorants. Ça n'est pas le seule raison parce laquelle ça se passe. J'ai rien supposé, il l'a dit. Avant je n'intervenais pas.
Imralu, if you read closely, I wasn't commenting on Finlay's complaint on English; but on his claiming speakers of other languages who don't cater to his nationalistic sensibilities are ignorant. That's not the only reason it happens. I assumed nothing, he did claim that. Before I wasn't intervening.

[Imralu]

OK.
OK.

Jeg kan så godt lide denne film!
I love that film so much!

Alle haben mir gesagt "Berlin ist nicht Deutschland! Berlin ist Berlin." Ich bin noch nicht so viel in Deutschland herumgereist, also kann ich das nicht bestätigen.
Everyone's told me "Berlin's not Germany! Berlin is Berlin." I haven't really travelled much around Germany, so I can't confirm.

I Israel siger de også "Medinat Tel Aviv", Staten Tel Aviv, for byen er en sådan boble i Staten Israel.
В Израиле тоже говорят "Мэдинат Тель Авив", Государство Тель Авив, потому что город такой пузырь в Государстве Израиле.
In Israel too they say "Medinat Tel Aviv", the State of Tel Aviv, because the city is such a bubble in the State of Israel.

!اما باید بفهمند که لندن هم حباب است در انگلستان و که نه همه ما در آنجا زندگی میکنیم
Ammâ bâyad befahmand ke London ham yek hebâb-ast dar Englestân va ke na hame-ye mâ dar ânjâ zendegi mikonim!
But they need to understand that London is also a bubble in the UK and that not all of us live there!

It's not "nationalist" or even controversial to say that Scotland and England are different, though. I stg it's always the fucking same though: when you say this to a european you always start telling us we're being picky or that it's irrelevant.

[Thry]

Oh lol "européen vs bitannique" maintenant! Ça n'est pas du tout que je disais, mais je suis fatigué, alors comprends ce que tu veuilles. Ça vaut que ça vaut, je ne pense pas que ce ne soit pas important.
Oh lol "European vs British" now! That's not what I was saying at all, but I'm tired so take it as you will. FWIW, I don't think it's irrelevant.

Though it may help to point out that I was talking about Portuguese and Spanish, which are AFAIK the only two romance ""European"" languages in which this metonymy is acceptable (not in French, apparently - I don't know for Italian, Romanian or others like German).

Tha Ford Fiesta tuilleadh is cuibheasach. An do dh'fhàillig do Hummer ort? :p
Ford Fiesta is too average. Did your Hummer break down?

Is ea as ár Hummer a bhíomair ag scaoileadh ar an bhFord!
We were shooting at the Ford from our Hummer!

Tubaiste! Tá m'oibrí mic léinn t'réis eiriú as a phost orm. Ar éigean is féidir athsholáthar cóir a lorg i gcroílár na scoilbhliana. Greadadh trí lár a scairt!
Dammit! My student worker just quit on me. It's well near impossible to find a decent replacement in the middle of the school year. Damn him!

[ol bofosh]

Oh lol "européen vs bitannique" maintenant!
Oh lol "European vs British" now!

Pues sí. Por eso el Canal de la Mancha.
Bein oui. Pour ça il y a la Manche.
Of course. That's the whole point of the English Channel.

[linguoboy]

"bitannique"

J'y vois ce que t'as fait là.
I see what you did there.

[Thry]

J'ai fait le français!
I did French!

Miré unos dibujos animados de Homestar Runner anoche.
I watched some Homestar Runner cartoons last night.

Lo encuentré por primera vez algunas semanas antes le hiato interminable, pero aun así me hacía obsesionada.
I found it for the first time a few weeks before the never-ending hiatus, but even then I got hooked.

Aunque no hacían una cosa nueva, aun fue nueva para mi.
Even though they didn't make anything new, it was still new to me.

Homestar Runner-- Pom Pom, también
Homestar Runner, ¡te queremos!
Homestar Runner-- Pom Pom, too
Homestar Runner, we love you!

Qu'est-ce que tu as fait au pauvre garçon?
What did you do to the poor guy?

!עכשיו כיבסתי את הציפה של הפוך, והיא יצאה ממש חמימה ורכה וריח טוב אז עשיתי ממנה אוהל. איזה כיף
Axšáv kibásti et hacipá šel hapúx, vehí yac'á mamáš xamimá veraká veréax tov az asíti miména óhel. Éze kef!
I just laundried my duvet cover, and it came out all warm and soft and nice-smelling so I've made it into a tent. Such fun!

[linguoboy]

Qu'est-ce que tu as fait au pauvre garçon?

C'est pas ça que j'y ai fait, c'est ça qu'il s'a fait à soi-même. Qui choisit de suivre cinq courses équand il a déjà un travail?
It ain't what I done to him, it's what he done to hisself. Who goes and takes five courses when he already has a job?

While I was eating in one of the school cafes, I was daydreaming and thinking about stuff. I was thinking about what I will do for a career in Linguistics, and I really think being a professor would be a nice job for me. What do you all think about teaching jobs? A couple of you are teachers/professors, right?

If your heart is truly set on teaching linguistics, be prepared to starve.

Premièrement, si on veut faire quelque-chose, on peut faire malgré des obstacles ou autre.
Deuxièment, comment est-ce que ça compare à d'autres pays par exemple la France ou la Grande-Bretagne.
(Je pense à la même idée pour un emploi)
Firstly, if you want to do something, you can do it despite any obstacles or other things.
Secondly, how does that compare to other countries like France or Britain ?
(I am thinking of the same idea for a job.)

Ich auch. Ich kann auch nicht sagen, dass er keine Rolle gespielt hat, als sich der Gedanke geformt hat, irgendwann nach Berlin zu ziehen.
Me too. And I can't really say that it didn't play a part as the thought was taking shape to one day move to Berlin..

Ich hatte heute Abend ein zweites Date. Er ist nett und ich konnte kaum aufhören, ihn anzustarren. Am Ende gab es einen kleinen Kuss.
I went on a second date tonight. He's nice and I found myself unable to stop staring at him. At the end, there was a little kiss.

今日はみんなが、明日は雪が降ると言った。雪が好きだけど、1日間だけはいいかな。でも、雪が降ったら、自転車で行けないと思う。でも、会社に行かなければいいかも。いいかどうか考えることは知らない。
Today everyone said it's going to snow tomorrow. I like snow, but I think just one day is enough. But if it rains, I think I can't go by bike. But maybe I won't have to go to work. I don't know how to feel...

(pretty sure the last sentence is wrong)

J'ai vu quelque chose d'assez drôle sur Buzzfeed. Quelqu'un se plaignait parce qu'elle avait eu besoin d'utiliser une serviette maxi au lieu d'un tampon, et elle avait peur que les autres pensent qu'elle a la vagine grosse.
.ראיתי משהו ממש מצחיק ב-בזפיד. מישהי מתלוננה כי היא היתה צריכה לשתמש בפד במקום טמפון, והיא פחדה שאחרים יחשבו שהוגינה שלה שמנה
Ra'íti mášehu mamáš macxík be-Buzzfeed. Míšehi mitlonená ki hi haytá crixá lehištaméš bepad bimkóm támpon, vehí paxdá šeaxerím yaxševú šehavagína šelá šmená.
I saw something rather funny on Buzzfeed. Someone was complaining because she'd had to use a maxi pad instead of a tampon, and she was afraid that other people would think she had a fat vagina.

C'est quoi, ça, une "vagine grosse" ?
What exactly is a "fat vagina?"

Ami még fontosabb, mi van hüvely?
More importantly, what's a vagina?

Eww grooosss!


.לא רוצה לדמיין עוד פעם אחת איך יכולה להיראות פות שמנה

I never again want to imagine what a fat vagina looks like.

[Thry]

Ami még fontosabb, mi van hüvely?
More importantly, what's a vagina?

Partiellement, c'est un dérivé mullérien.
Partly, a Müllerian derivate.

C'est aussi ton chémin au monde.
It's also your way into the world.

Vous pensez que, on peut avoir un gros ventre, des grosses fesses, mais une vagine comme une fille de 50 kg? La graisse va partout quand on prend des poids, normalement. Ça m'interesse pas trop non plus, mais leur anatomie n'est pas si different que la notre!

Do you guys think that you can have a big belly, a fat butt, but a vagina like a 110 lb girl? Fat goes everywhere when you gain weight, usually. I'm not too interested in it either, but their anatomy isn't all that different from ours!
