ZBB member photos, part 5. (Something for the weekend, sir?)
Re: ZBB member photos, part 5. (Gayer than rainbows and kitt
I'm rather pale, too. Especially when I was younger relatives would sometimes ask whether I wouldn't feel well... When I'm glad I get a little tan in summer, it's basically what other people look like during the rest of the year.

Yes, exactly. Those last two ones are quite unidiomatic, and would be really rude if you said that to someone.Imralu wrote:Ok, that makes sense to me. They're different meanings of the word wrong.Qwynegold wrote:Oh I see, then "kumpi on väärin?" would have been better. It's difficult to say what exactly the difference is, but IMO väärin is used when there's something wrong with a thing, while väärä is used when you have picked the wrong option.
I know "You're wrong" as it usually means in English is "Olet väärässä", but can I also say "Olet väärä" meaning 'You're the wrong choice' and "Olet väärin" meaning "There's something wrong with you." Maybe unidiomatic, but is that what they seem like to you?
Yes, correct again.Imralu wrote:So what would it be when you're talking about music in general (ie. "music"), not specific music (ie. "the music")?? Musiikki on kaunista?Qwynegold wrote:I guess the first sentence could be used, but then has the meaning "the music is beautiful", for example as in "the stage performance sucked, but the music is beautiful" when referring to some show.Imralu wrote:Musiikki on kaunis - "Music (in general) is beautiful(NOM)"

Well, I may have gotten that one phrase wrong, but I didn't use Google Translate for it. I was just not paying attention to the words I was using.
I've been trying to learn some Finnish because I have a friend in Helsinki.

Finns have analog synthesizers too, you know. They're called accordions. A 12 cl jalovina with a burp marks line break.
"Baaarf", means full stop.

Indeed, you said it wrong

I just thought it was funny that you said 'That's so wrong' and then proceeded to "correct" it to a phrase that would be, I assume, much harder for a Finn to understand than the original was.Bristel wrote:Well, I may have gotten that one phrase wrong, but I didn't use Google Translate for it.

Onnea!! For future reference, when you're translating "that", the demonstratives are tuo and se (things that you do and don't point at, respectively, as far as I know). The complementizer "that" (the subordinating conjunction meaning "the fact/idea that ...") is että, or et in informal speech.Bristel wrote:I've been trying to learn some Finnish because I have a friend in Helsinki.

Dammit, you're making me nostalgic for Finland
Also, reminding me that I need to learn more Finnish than cursing

Suomi is outo. (Or is that "outoa"? I don't even know anymore.)
Why is it "Musiikki on kaunista" instead of "kaunis"?
For that matter, why is "onni" in the partitive?

I did have a bizarrely similar (to the original poster's) accident about four years ago, in which I slipped over a cookie and somehow twisted my ankle so far that it broke

This is me, with short hair again. I'm not really sure I like the cut I got, it doesn't seem as well done as the last time (though I like it being this short) (and yes, I realize the picture's nearly the same as the last one I posted, but that's because this is where I sit, and just coincidentally I'm wearing pretty much the same clothes).

you look younger that I thought, dude. mind if I ask how old are you?
Re: ZBB member photos, part 5. (Gayer than rainbows and kitt
I'm 19. How old did you think I was?
Re: ZBB member photos, part 5. (Gayer than rainbows and kitt
yeah, around 21 is what I thought. If you said 16 I'd have believed you, though.

Bah, so much for hoping that maybe I'd get ID'd less at clubs this year.

It's a gradual process. I haven't been ID'd at least with any regularity since I was about 21.

I always get id'd. Maybe that'll stop in England?

What, the irony of getting the grammar wrong and telling us that you are 13 now?Yiuel Raumbesrairc wrote:I haven't been ID'd since I'm 13.finlay wrote:It's a gradual process. I haven't been ID'd at least with any regularity since I was about 21.

Ossicone: maybe... remember, we all think you look younger than you are, so that might not be a good sign. I've never really had to ID people, so I don't know what I'd do with you. Probably err on the side of caution, I'm afraid. But IRL you might look your actual age. The guideline here is that if you look under 21 you should expect to get ID'd, but a lot of places, like supermarkets, have put that up to 25.

If you have a wispy beard that only shows up round your chin, by the way, you'll still get ID'd, because only teenagers tend to have beards like that. I think the fact that I do get full stubble (although it's not dark like most people's and is invisible for the first day or two), and the fact that I have chest hair, contributes to me not getting ID'd anymore.
