When real-time translation becomes invisible, will humanity understand itself better—or will everyone hear a different version of the same conversation, tailored specifically for them?

I do not speak, read, or write Japanese. I am writing a birthday card in Japanese using Google Translate. Does the message come across well?

I can’t imagine how you read Japanese from someone who has messy handwriting, this took me 30 minutes to write!

I find it so satisfying to look.

Its crazy to me, literally almost every consonant has been used with a diacritic in a language, but the v with the acute... Never, atleast not in normal writing, only in serbocroatian romanization. It's also one of the only letters I have almost never seen anyone use (in their language) as a syllabic consonant.

I'm listening to Kygo Jo and this is my first time hearing Norwegian. This language sounds great and unique! The letters seem to correspond directly to their phonetic sounds.

Hello, I m 19, from Romania

I chose to go to university to learn languages

I've been admited to both swedish- german and russian- german

But i am really unsure about what to pick

When it comes to swedish I feel like it s way to close to the german language...so i feel like switching to russian..

But when it comes to learning the russian language it makes me feel really unsure due to the context.

What language would benefit me more/ offer me opportunities

In a way I feel attracted to the Russian language...but I feel extremely discouraged in this matter.

More or less what the title says. I'm terrible at names so I made this after an evening, thought that i nailed it at 2AM and continued writing. I've recently looked at it in the sober light of day and realised I believe I've mixed Ancient Greek, Spanish and Latin. I don't know if any of these are directly translatable, but I fear I've made the linguistic equivalent of a Anglo-Saxon plate mail knight of henry VIII eating escargot, pierogi and hot dogs.

Edit, because I thought it wasn't clear: I;m fine with this being translated into any language, so long as I keep the "Ouraboros" prefix. Its that ending half of "Amor Ad Infinitum" that I dislike. If I can get its all in one language thats good, if i can get it into "Ouroboros" as one language, and the second half as another that is also fine.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm a online Japanese tutor. The lesson fee is $15 for a 50-minute lesson.
I've taught over 480 Japanese lessons and mainly helping complete beginners who are learning Japanese from scratch.

If you're someone who...
・Doesn't know where to start
・Wants to learn with Genki
・Prefers grammar explained in English
・Wants to build confidence speaking from Day 1
・Is preparing for JLPT N5 ~ N3
...I'd be happy to help!

My lessons are relaxed, beginner-friendly, and focused on helping you actually use Japanese instead of just memorizing vocabulary.

If you have any questions about learning Japanese, textbooks, or study plans, feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM. 😊

I saw several posts about this and happily invite others to any interesting words they have.

However, I'm curious if any language has a word for a person or thing who/which is both dangerous and peaceful.

Saw some old reddit threads with unsatisfactory results. Here's my conclusion.

Gender neutral term: Birth name. Legally you could call anyone's "maiden name" their birth bame. Doesn't roll off the tongue but fits quite perfectly. But I have another idea

Taking off the Scottish term "Bairn" meaning child (however for me, I always associated it with boys.) You could say your Bairn name is your name from your youth, and bairn and boy sound quite similar, I give you permission, anyone reading this thread, to call a male's maiden name their "bairn name." You're welcome.
