@VasundharaNLP @joshraclaw I believe that the dairy industry has lobbied to disallow plant based milks from actually using the word “milk” and this is a workaround

@tomoakiyama It’s so funny we both made erection related mistakes 🤭

[Cameron Lombardo @Cambardo]

@Made_in_DNA That is absolutely hilarious 😆

Makkoli (https://t.co/CQujgXdjTA) is not at all the same thing as もっこり (https://t.co/CPmoMYrPfC)

[Cameron Lombardo @Cambardo]

What’s your most embarrassing second language mistake?

Mine was at a Korean restaurant in Japan. I meant to ask, “do you like makkoli (a Korean alcoholic drink)?” Instead of saying 「マッコリ好きですか？」I said 「もっこり好きですか？」

If you know you know 😅😂

@tomoakiyama It boggles my mind that pitch accent carries over to the particle following the word. I’ve never realized that before 🤯

[Cameron Lombardo @Cambardo]

I’ve never cared much about pitch accent in Japanese. Its not too important for comprehensibility, and you acquire much of it subconsciously through language use. Still, I really enjoyed this video on pitch accent, highly recommend!

Great article by @tofugukanae about one of my favorite Japanese words/concepts, もったいない

[トーフグ @tofugu]

Does throwing away leftover food make you feel sad?

If you're the type of person who hates waste, もったいない (mottainai) is the perfect word for you, because it articulates that sense of regret, guilt, and sorrow for wasting things.

happy America gender reveal day or whatever

[Cameron Lombardo @Cambardo]

@anarparikh Yeah I think in my dialect I collocates with another “professional” word typically, as in “work function” or “school function.” Using it alone as in “I have a function this weekend” sounds odd to me.

@jeremyyellen @tkasasagi … car-ate 🥸😅
