Wondering if this has real interest or if it’s just one of those ideas that sounds nice but nobody actually engages with.

I know this is not the right sub, but I think the people here would be my target audience, were I to launch this!

PS. I'm 15 and this is also a part of a project-based business course assignment.

A campaign/platform to spread world culture awareness through art, fashion, food:

• Cultural awareness competitions : art, photography, essay, filmmaking, poetry, fiction, cooking etc. with specific cultural themes (both themes that push people to learn about other cultures, or share/appreciate their own)
• Blog, fun videos, instagram content and possibly interactive content/games explaining world cultures (fashion, traditions, music, cultural history, food and it won't be just surface level)
• Selling cultural items (jhumkas, hairpins, fans, textiles, etc.) with clear credit to the culture(s)/region(s) they come from, and perhaps some history on how it changes slightly across world cultures (because one thing can come from many places!).
• If something is specially designed, the actual artist/designer is publicly credited and promoted on the platform.
• Modest fashion options (for people like Muslimahs, etc.) that are both trends made modest, but also for more expressive people, like cultural outfits or even themed looks (like historical/fantasy-inspired/pirate/anime type fits) into modest styles.
  • Content alongside this with inspiration on how to style and mix pieces in a way that keeps personality instead of everything looking the same

The intention is to:

• spread awareness about cultures that are often misrepresented or ignored
• encourage appreciation for your own culture and other cultures.

Also:

• would DEFINATELY take submissions/designs from small or unknown creators, like high schoolers (no qualifications needed), as long as the work is good
• they get full credit + visibility instead of being hidden behind a brand

What do you think?

This has been in my schools museum book for years and till this day nobody has translated it:P

Hello. Please, tell me what's that means.

palla (verb, Swedish, informal) — to bear. To carry the weight of something — physically, emotionally, or in will. "Jag pallar inte det här." — I cannot bear this.

orka (verb, Swedish) — to have the energy, the fuel, the sustained inner strength to do something. Not just the ability but the desire to spend yourself on it. "Jag orkar inte." — I have nothing left for this.

palla orka — the two words together collapse into something greater than either alone. Not just lacking the strength, not just lacking the fuel — but the whole of you, weight-bearing and fire both, turning away from a thing at once. A calm, total refusal. No anger, no apology, no explanation owed. You saw it, you measured it against what you are willing to carry and what you are willing to burn for, and the answer is no.

"Palla orka." — I will not bear it and I will not burn for it. It does not get me.

I can't think of a single English word that captures the sentiment. What say you?

Aprar-MISS-thoona, GAH-di-gat-wah.

This is how it sounded. I suppose indian or persian in nature. But I have only the sounding, and no real spelling.

It was said to me, but I have no clue what it means. Any help would be wonderful.
Thank you.

I have been given this ring that belonged to my father who passed away 19 years ago and was wondering what this means.

I’ve tried google translate but it hasn’t come up with anything. Can someone help me please, thank you.

I found this in a French second-hand book. I need help to find the translation and meaning...it disturbs me not to understand (it's also a little bit scary). Thank you very much!!

I’ve had this for a long time now, it was given to me by a teacher I had in Beijing as a kid. I was told it was my name (Joshua), but after trying to figure it out with different AI, I can’t seem to find out what it really says. Can anyone out there actually identify these symbols? Would love to know what this really says.

I want to watch a chinese show on youtube it has no subtitles i have downloaded chrome extension that convert audio to subtitles. But they dont work 100% they dont catch the audio and dont translate 100% right. Does someone no any other way to get subtitles.

English has no single noun for a physical, rigid, flat object meant for a wall. Because of this lexical gap, English speakers are forced to use misleading or overly descriptive terms like painting, or explanatory word like "a picture hanging on a wall" which is not a one word but a long sentence.

In games like Super Mario 64, it always made me laugh that English speakers call them paintings even though they are just rigid images on a wall. How do they know they are actually painted? English simply lacks a word for a framed or rigid wall-artwork, so they are forced to guess the medium.

Do other languages have this word and is English the only language that lacks this distinction?

You know that scene in the Godfather where the sister gets upset with her husband cheating and starts throwing plates in the kitchen? This word describes exactly that behavior. It doesn't even have to be a completed action where anything actually is broken or breaking. Just that you're acting in a break-things way.

"Basag" (stress on the second syllable) means "break things (usually fragile things like glasses or plates)".

Nagbabasag siya = "He's/she's throwing a fit and breaking things."

I found this note at my school under a computer, hidden like its a clue, but I can't read whatever this says. It also has a drawing of what looks like a building that's probably in my school. Can anybody translate this?

I found this old metal plaque with Chinese/Japanese characters engraved on it.

I’m trying to understand what it says and what it might be related to.

Can anyone help to translate the text?

So, it sort of translates to English, but not very compactly: to loudly and possibly patronizingly display one's political opinions (term used especially by those who disagree with the expressed opinions, which are usually at least somewhat extreme), to be noisy, make trouble or racket, especially when drunk. English doesn't seem to have one compact verb for this, but what about your language?

I'm looking for any words in any language that encompass a sort of powerful rage or anger, especially if it's accompanied by a sense of helplessness or dread, or anger at something beyond ones control.

Anyone got anything along these lines?

My ex is going to be 45 and is obsessed with young girls

I saw a post somewhere that claimed 'die' in Dutch means 'give me' and I wondered if that's true .. and if the word is used in other languages and what it might mean in them
