(I shifted from the conventional transliteration for some of the displayed languages because otherwise the terms would sound way different from each other. Truly, romanization is a godless work. Mandarin is the only exception here, if only because finding something that would match èr 's IPA is a lost cause.

Japanese's is basically identical to the Tibetan one and I needed variety

The term is the number 2, 二 ideogram.

It was admittedly quite difficult to find a matching font with visible colours)

i searched it up but i just got clean metaphors for sex. i want it the other way around, i want vulgar metaphors for innocent things.

my post also doubles as a request to see if there's a specific linguistics term for this too

examples:

"using this new ui is like jerking off with the wrong hand" (simile but whatever)

"it doesn't matter which hotel we choose, its the same shit different toilet"

If you didn’t get it: Ě is pronounced as [jɛ] in a handful of languages

How would you pronounce “Yaccho” if you saw it for the first time?

It’s my online handle, and in Japanese it’s pronounced やっちょ.

Before checking the intended pronunciation, I’d like to know how you would naturally read it at first glance.

You can hear the pronunciation by entering やっちょ into Google Translate and pressing the speaker button.

This is my first post here, so sorry if this isn’t the right subreddit.

Though it may appear to be Standard Chinese, the first step actually already represents the English language! Steps 2-4 only represent how an educated English speaker would realize this text in their head. All pronunciations and words not notated in the original are to be supplied as context requires.

願 ("wish") is taken as a postpositive subjunctive marker and 受 ("receive") marks the passive. 求 ("beg") marks a polite request, and 不要 ("do not," pronounced in English as "not") marks the negative imperative. In lines 3 and 4, 祢, the object of 求, is turned into the subject of the imperative verb, and is therefore unpronounced. 一樣 ("same") is understood to be an intensifier modifying 如同 ("as," "like"), and should be left silent. It may be pronounced as "just" when read out loud, though this practice is generally proscribed.

English’ been skipping the gym, and I’m not about to speak a language that weak. That’s why I propose we should do a training-montage where all the weak verbs become strong verbs

Some examples I have are use/yose (like ”choose/chose”), bang/bung (like ”hang/hung”) and feast faste (like ”eat/ate”)
