La palabra “Cihuamxitla” no tiene sentido alguno y es difícil de leer. «Cihua» sí es la raíz de “mujer”, pero «tla» es simplemente “algo”. ¿Y «mxi» en medio qué es?

tla + ihtoa (decir) = tlahtoa (decir algo; hablar)
tlahtoa + ni (*agente*) = tlahtoani (el que habla; gobernante)

[Secretaría de Cultura de la Ciudad de México @CulturaCiudadMx]

¿Ya conoces a Kioskesa Chilakesa? Ella es la mismísima Chihuamxitla de la Ciudad de México y viene dispuesta a robarse tu corazón ❤️

Acompáñanos en esta aventura y sigamos conociendo juntos a estos maravillosos #Mexisitos que nos conectan de una forma única, divertida y profunda con nuestra capital.

Se pueden hacer los dos al mismo tiempo, el Náhuatl es un idioma completo que se puede aprender y utilizar como cualquier otro. Necesitamos MÁS lenguas originarias en la vida pública y cotidiana de nuestro país.

[Regina @ReginadelC]

¿Para qué chingados quieren aprender a hablar náhuatl? Aprendan a hablar, leer, escribir y entender el español primero…

[Alberto @alsagrero]

No, it’s a language’s natural progression, no need to tell people how to talk when they’re already communicating effectively by “speaking wrong”. I mean, you understand them enough to correct them, so…

[Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit]

You guys really do need to stop saying “casted” though it’s getting scary.

[Deedy @deedydas]

All languages covey information at a similar rate when spoken (39bits/s).

Languages that are spoken faster have less information density per syllable!

One of the coolest results in linguistics.

[Alberto @alsagrero]

Wish I spoke all of them fluently!
For now…
_speak English and Spanish
_know Russian and German
_get Portuguese and French
_studied some Mandarin and Arabic
_peeked into Bengali and Indonesian

[Kévin Abroad | YouTube l Now on bluesky too! @KevinAbroadYT]

These are the most spoken languages in the world. Which ones do you speak?

Me: English, French, Spanish and Portuguese!

PERDÓNAME

[Alberto @alsagrero]

@subetealanutria Is this sarcasm? Do I have to unfollow?

[Alberto @alsagrero]

@ADHDForReal This is just how it is supposed to be. Same with headphones btw, don’t talk to me if I have them on

[Alberto @alsagrero]

@AutismCapital You don’t know what communism is AND please abstain from using “autism” in your name if you’re only gonna post wrong political stances, you’re giving us a very bad rep

[Alberto @alsagrero]

@dutch_od bless your heart

[Alberto @alsagrero]

Ok this is fun 😂

@ADHDForReal I’ve tried so many times to get the proper treatment but my country doesn’t believe an adult can be neurodivergent because that’s “kid’s stuff” and I just need more discipline and motivation 🫠

[Alberto @alsagrero]

Unpopular opinion (?)

It’s true in speech not in writing. I tell my students, when in doubt just add a D/T sound at the end, it works for all regular and most irregular verbs.

The irregular verbs that don’t fit into this, would stand out so much that it’d be hard to forget them

[Kévin Abroad | YouTube l Now on bluesky too! @KevinAbroadYT]

An online English teachers suggests to put -ed at the end of past tense verbs when you're in doubt since 95% of English verbs are regular.

I can't.

[Alberto @alsagrero]

@ADHDForReal unfortunately I was (and still am) the “why is everybody so mean to each other, I hate it here”

[Alberto @alsagrero]

I’ve been called “weird” all my life by many people in many contexts, and I’ve learned it’s all about intent, you know when it’s hurtful.

About the current political situation in the US, I’m totally fine with the word because they indeed have weird and dangerous ideas about life

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

It might just be me, but I have a problem with people using the word "weird" as an insult. People being "weird" shouldn't be a thing. We are all different. Good people are different and the word is used to describe us too. Let us be different without making us feel like outcasts.

As an autistic person I would love to live in a world where my social abilities didn’t impact my prospects of holding a job or getting paid because “I don’t network enough”

[Alberto @alsagrero]

I provided En/Sp classes to a startup for a month. One day the CEO goes: “We’re pausing, this is taking too long and we’re losing money, our developers can streamline the process with AI. The team loved your classes so we want you to work in this project, no compensation though.”

[Remmelt Ellen 🛑 @RemmeltE]

Ooh yes.

[Alberto @alsagrero]

@autismsupsoc I didn’t think this would be so easy, I’m geeking out

[Alberto @alsagrero]

Quick tip to tell the difference:

SER comes before nouns and adjectives.

- Fui feliz.
- Fue complicado.
- Fuimos compañeros.
- Fueron fáciles de hacer.

IR always has an “a” or “al” right after.

- Fui a correr.
- Fue a la casa.
- Fuimos a bailar.
- Fueron al parque.

[The Polyglot Files @PolyglotFiles]

So, in Spanish, both "ser" and "ir" have the exact same conjugations in the simple past tense? That won't at all be confusing...😵‍💫#langtwt #spanish
