@UmkaMik @FranseviEfendi Emphatic t affects the following vowel, so that u sounds more like o and i sounds more like e. Here it's used to match the Greek vowel even though Arabic doesn't technically have an o sound.

@DougHenwood "The Epstein imperial regime must perish, change the dynasty to save the people. Respectfully appealing to Chairman Xi."

@Jigglestick3 Her name seems to be that word plus "ikwe", the word for woman, with some vowel changes. Her father was a famous Ojibwe activist, it's pretty likely he would give his own child a native name.
I don't like Flanagan either but that name is probably the only real thing about her.

@cedarthijs @man_your_brooms @ahouse4all In Mexico it's the exact opposite, limón = lime and lima = lemon. So those waiters are understanding you perfectly and wondering why the guy who asked for lemons is frustrated when he gets lemons

@go_sinia @icyyystar @KaramaSeal Vast majority (>80%) of Malians speak Bambara, and it's quickly becoming the lingua franca after French got demoted. News, education, business is all transitioning to Bambara away from French

@staggeredfawn @RepealTCPA1947 The syllable-final n in Japanese (ん) changes pronunciation based on the following consonant. If it's made with the lips (like p, b, m), it turns into an m. You can see this in Japanese newspaper names, like Asahi Shimbun. So akimbo is perfectly valid in Japanese

@BiggLeee34 @FriendOfSpoons @nhlbedard Almost like Bedard missed 2 months of play from a shoulder injury? Before the injury he was tied w Celebrini for third in the league for points w one less game. Insane that he wasn't on the roster initially, but I get why they might not want him now coming back from injury.

@qwaxseen @jon_speaks_ @Tcho76521726 A Ukrainian person absolutely will learn Russian faster than Indonesian. Even if you ignore the vast grammatical differences, do you think it's easier to learn a language that shares 65% lexical similarity or one that has almost zero shared vocab?

@shaunmmaguire I'm sure China is doing just fine on the museum front:

@JCRollinthrough @TheSDPadresFan @The_Real_Fly What did you think about the Canadian trucker protests?

@prettytoes @mqudsi @jvplive why should they?

@salmanwasimkhan @Sprinter99800 Japan committed war crimes, killed Chinese babies, raped Korean women, and colonized half of Asia during WWII--they just deny their history and cover it up with propaganda, that's why you don't know abt it

[liveroadkill @zursedzoomer]

@Aburylewis @Sprinter99800 Japan was a colonial master too, they literally invaded half of Asia during WWII, they beheaded babies in China and made Korean women their sex slaves. The only reason you don't hear about it is bc they deny their war crimes and hide it with propaganda abt being nice and polite!

[liveroadkill @zursedzoomer]

@tobaccobreeze @Sprinter99800 You should search up what they did during World War II. Colonized half of Asia, tortured and killed babies in China, made sex slaves from Korean women. They hide their history with propaganda, that's why you never hear about it.

@floralrea @MOSTHATEDKENN @souvenirtities @arianaunext @PopBase So you have no problem with the Afghanistan government allowing child marriage, rape as punishment, or banning women from attending school. China putting Muslims in concentration camps is fine because it's their "culture", right?

@_K0V4C5_ @JustinWhang Ok where was the "jobless bitter woman" in this story tho...

@Haurmeya Cool movie poster: 😁🤩😎
Cool Chinese movie poster: 🤬😳👺

[liveroadkill @zursedzoomer]

@blarpvs @Haurmeya Nothing about it sucks, the poster is literally comparing Miles to an immortal god and one of the most famous characters in all of East Asian folklore, there's no racist intention behind this and people who think there is are doing some serious mental gymnastics

@DiscussingFilm China never disappoints with international movie poster designs
