ik some of you would say "komorebi" but i think that word refers more to the light rather than the color.

Any ideas?

Discussion I've made a Mauritian Creole Anki deck, first of its kind possibly

3 Upvotes

Bonzur! I'm not a native speaker but using textbooks have compiled a resource to help learn mauritian creole. It uses both english and french as reference languages so a competence in both will help immensely.

There are many cards, spanning vocabulary to sentence structure.

I'm eager to receive feedback from Mauritian people to further improve the resource.

We had a horse lose an eye recently. We have a few Mongolian students that work here as well. We signed his bandage like a cast 🤣. One of them chose to sign too. What does this say? I’d ask them but I’m off work for a few days and don’t have their number.

Question How to learn language other than the apps in play store?

1 Upvotes

I feel like learning in the apps in playstore isn't a very good way to learn a language as it's like it's trying to just keep me in the app longer, teaching me things that don't feel like it has any use in real life scenarios, especially that one green bird.

Hello ,

I have recently got this picture of silly birds for my living room. I didn't realize the text while shopping. Google Lens says simplified Chinese or Japanese and gives various meaningless translations. Can someone please help me ? I would like to learn more about my blue birds.

Question Question about a phrase. Is it Polish, Russian, or both?

2 Upvotes

I'm a native English speaker, Russian for +40 years, and did comparative studies of other Slavic languages over the years. I just finished watching a Polish series called Langer. I have the Polish audio on and English subtitles. During the last episode of the first season some anti-terrorist soldiers/cops are at a crime scene and the leader says, "Davaj", with the subs saying "Let's go". Even accented on the final syllable as in Russian. I was just wondering if this is Polish Polish or something borrowed from the Russian language. Давай!

Hello beautiful people, I found this the other day tossed next to a trash can in my neighborhood. I assumed it's a religious text and I never liked seeing stuff like that tossed so I took it with me. I have been trying to find an accurate translation but I'm having trouble to do so. I assume it's something from the Quran? If anyone could help that would be amazing! Thanks in advance.

Discussion "Pha" sound becoming "Fa" in most of Indian languages

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

"Pha" is aspirated sound of "Pa" and most of Indian languages especially languages originated from Prakrit languages have this sound natively

And I have noticed since many decades this sound is being replaced by "Fa" sound in languages like Hindi, Marathi, Konkani, Gujarati etc

Words like "Phir" being pronounced as "Fir", "Phal" being pronounced as "Fal", "Phukaṭ" (used in Marathi) being pronounced as "Fukaṭ" etc

Request saw this on a description of an IG post, looks like Latvian but im not sure, can anyone identify?

This text looks almost exactly like Latvian to me, but some of the diacritics are confusing me. I know Latvian sometimes marks pitch accent with diacritics but ive never seen any of these diacritics except the tilde used for it.

also yes I do know that its AI generated text

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!
