Verbal Messages Blog Post #5

The official language spoken in the country of Croatia is Croatian. The Croatian language is used throughout 95% of the Croatia population. Croatian wasn’t always the official language, however. Latin was spoken in Croatia up until the 19th century. There are three minority languages according to World Atlas. Those minority languages that make up the other 5% of the population are Serbian, Italina, and Czech. (Chepkemoi, 2017)

According to Britannica, lingua franca means “language used as a means of communication between populations speaking vernaculars that are not mutually intelligible.” (Britannica, 2022) In simpler terms, I understood lingua franca as a common language for groups of diverse people to know and use in order to communicate with each other. I think the use of English as a lingua franca in Croatian culture would impact the ability to communicate effectively in a very positive way. Croatia is not the largest country, so the language the Croatian language is not very common throughout the world and other countries. Therefore, I personally think using English as a lingua franca in Croatia would facilitate more communication through different groups of people such as different languages other than Croatian and different cultures in general.

• Hello! = Bok! (sounds like bohk)

• Yes = Da (sounds like da)

• No = Ne (sounds like ne)

• Please = Molim (sounds like moh-leem)

• Thank You = Hvala (sounds like hva-lah)

• Can you help me? = Mozes li mi pomoci

• I don't understand = ne razumijem (sounds like neh rah-ZOO-meeyehm)

• I don't speak (name of the language) = Ne govorim hrvatski (sounds like neh GOH-voh-reem DOH-broh HUHR-vahts-kee)

• My name is (your name) = Zocem se Jaxon (sounds like zoh-vhem se)

I personally found almost all of them difficult to pronounce. The only two that I thought were easy before even learning the pronunciation was da and ne (yes and no). The only language I know fluently is English. I know a small amount of German as well, but other than that I do not understand other languages. I think that is one of the main reasons as to why learning these words was difficult. I think it is so important to familiarize yourself with any language before you travel to the country. These words in particular seem to be used extremely often, so it is important to put forth your best effort to try and communicate with the true local people through their language, not your own.

- “U priopćenju IAEA navodi da je ukrajinski regulator obavijestio Agenciju da osoblje elektrane više ne obavlja popravke i održavanje, “djelomično zbog svog fizičkog i psihičkog umora nakon što su radili bez prestanka gotovo tri tjedna”. Ranije danas je ukrajinska nacionalna energetska kompanija Ukrenergo priopćila da su njihovi inženjeri uspjeli vratiti električnu energiju u Černobil.” (Telegram, 2022)

- “A statement from the IAEA said the Ukrainian regulator had informed the agency that the plant's staff were no longer performing repairs and maintenance, "partly due to their physical and mental fatigue after working non-stop for almost three weeks". Earlier today, Ukraine's national energy company Ukrenergo announced that their engineers had managed to return electricity to Chernobyl.” (Telegram, 2022)

I was actually surprised at how well the Croatian paragraph translated over. I have done this with other languages and sometimes when the language is being translated to English, the paragraph and sentences don’t make sense. Croatian words seem to be a lot longer, which I wound interesting as well.

Language influences over view of reality is a very powerful phrase. I found a few quotes online regarding this phrase that I think capture the true meaning of it. The first quote is, “language is more than just a communication tool – It determines our perception of reality and influences our behavior” (Argos Multilingual, 2021). The next quote I found was “language impacts not just how we see the world, but our mindset towards it too” (Maden, 2022). Language influences so much in our lives. It is a beautiful tool not only humans, but all living things on earth use.

The celebration is meant as a means to bring all Xaela together without bloodshed to honor those who have fallen in combat years prior and warriors of the future to show honor and skill in hopes to avoid most conflicts until the day of 'Eriin Gurvan Naadam' where a new lead tribe is selected to rule over the Steppe.

For further information, please see the carrd link or message @foofmastaflex (Chabi Sunir) or @a-wanderers-sorrow (Kete Sunir) for further information!

coined 3/5/2022 by this blog.

⠀⠀

hello! i saw a while ago that reign from @mogai-sunflowers put out a prompt list for xors 1,000 follower special! first of all, congratulations! you coin a lot of amazing genders and you're so friendly, you deserve those 1,000 awesome followers!

i've been a little too busy to do every single prompt/day, but i still want to do a few of them! i decided to combine day 4 and 5: sunflowers and sunshine. so....

⠀⠀

Sunflowbouqine!

[sun - fl - ow - bohk - een]

A distinctly non-aligned gender that is like a bouquet of sunflowers that is sitting outside in warm, comfortable sunshine. It may feel fresh, sunlit, and/or cozy in the way that sitting outside in sunshine is.

⠀⠀

Original Flag / Simplified Flag

[Image ID: the first flag has three different colored stripes at the bottom; pale yellow, golden yellow, and pale green. there is a dark orange wedge sweeping down from the right corner towards the stripes, reminiscent of sunbeams. the background is pale blue. the second flag has five horizontal stripes, with the top and bottom stripes a little smaller than the other three. they are the colors, in order: pale blue, pale yellow, golden yellow, dark orange, and pale green. /end ID.]

⠀⠀

anyways, i hope this is something that you like! this was fun and challenging, can't wait to do more! ✨⭐❤🌈

The Wulf's Eye: RP Journal #56 | A Brewery Eve

Earlier in the morning I decided to practice my solos for this coming Karaoke Night. It's been nice to release some emotion.. through my guitar and just shouting alone in the auditorium. The sound wards make it all the more better, really. This evening was the brewery to open. I've had the pleasure to know Azure as more than a business partner. Though, let me delve into the eve.

It was very crowded. I was once again pleased to re-open my brewery to the public lately, along with Azure's skill on tarot readings. It's a fine combination that makes for excellent business. Extraordinarily divine sake, accompanied by a booth that may or may not rip you apart on the truth you need to know. It's been fun to see the looks on the faces of those who head to my window as soon as they've received their reading. Good business!

I know that my comrades back at the company wished to partake in Natsume's version of the Bohk. Hopefully next time I'll be able to make it-- I've never exactly /wrestled/, but it has gotten to a similar point when I used to train my first actual ex in hand to hand. That aside, I don't think there was a moment to breathe all eve at the brewery. The line was long, and it was one customer after another. I've begun to gain regulars along with new faces. A gentlemen accompanying Eiri even complimented my establishment with such.. flowery.. poetic words to my absolute astonishment. A travelling merchant, it seemed.

I noticed when I had approached Eiri and Akai, Akai seemed rather.. distant or stiff. Though, I had a bit of an idea. The night prior we were at the Spiderlily and perhaps my little scuffle with Akai resulted in something. Akai seems to get jealous very easily.. I've always seen jealousy as an ugly painting you cannot just pull your eyes away from sometimes. It takes away, it eats at you, it sticks to the back of your mind and twists your stomach to bits. But I would never do anything to threaten relations between he and Eiri. Alas.. perhaps it's something deeper, or I may be overthinking it. But it has been a problem that I think I will approach him about. We care for each other, and I want to remind Akai of that.

By the end of the night, folks stayed rather late but something had been on my mind. I've known Azure for years now, and we've been getting closer as of late. Not to mention, I am technically getting closer to his family through Li, Azure sent that boy my way anyway.. But, his nine tails. It didn't add up. He wasn't 900. He stated being 27, yet I never understood. So I bluntly asked him whilst he and Uzu hung back at the brewery. That was when he revealed things regarding the First.. Supposedly Azure had been a fighter all his life. A fighter against such corrupt entities with two much of one thing which tips the very essence of Balance. For that, the blight of light entered his being forcefully and so it seemed to have forced the hastened growth of tails beyond his age. What a grim.. tragic fate. Yet, he is a strong character and I would not pity him one bit. That travesty is to be overlooked, given I have had my share of special cases regarding a fox's tails.. that being the very Servants of Nine I am surrounded by, whilst I am technically considered of their curse, I shall forever hold nine of my tails.

Seems there's some more I wish to get to know from Azure, especially revolving around his homeland. There are similarities between our 'families'. Except the blight of impurity, long ago in the war to reclaim what was the duty of the Servants had cursed us and cast away our Hoshi no Tama. Though, I shall not recount that.. in this journal.

Playing Dress Up

pairing: changbin (seo changbin) x fem reader [because he’s my ult, OKAY?]

genre: idol!au, verrrrry little smut if you look under a microscope, the gentlest of fem-dom tones, suggestive, self-insert first-person POV (no y/n), reader has an overly sensitive spine that turns her on (integral to the plot), reader speaks konglish (key below)

word count: 1538

content warnings: one swear but that’s about it

summary: it’s post-covid era, and your newish boyfriend changbin, who doesn’t live with you yet, comes over under the guise of catching up after skz’s long-awaited world tour. he surprises you at first, but he doesn’t know you too have a surprise up your sleeve.

a/n: yet another super old piece i wrote in early 2018

korean key:

⦿ annyeong (안녕) = hi (in the context of the plot); pronounced “on-yawng”

⦿ jalsaenggin (잘생긴) = handsome; pronounced “jahl-seng-geen”

⦿ areumdaoon (아름다운) = beautiful; pronounced “ah-room-dah-oon”

⦿ ne (네) = most common form of yes; pronounced “neh”

⦿ gamsahamnida (감사합니다) = most common form of thank you; pronounced “kahm-sah-hahm-nee-dah”

⦿ cheonmaneyo (천만에요) = formal version of you’re welcome; pronounced “chun-mahn-eh-yo”

⦿ yangbok (양복) = suit; pronounced “yahng-bohk”

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Perched on the couch, I glanced at the clock again: 7:27 PM. I buried my face in my sweater-paws in a burst of adrenaline.

This is it; this is it; this is IT, my inner voice screamed. He’s gonna be here any motherfluffing second now! In my building! In my apartment! With ME!

A sharp knock at the door snapped me out of my anxious thoughts. At long last, the moment I'd played out in my head so many different ways was finally transpiring before my wide eyes and thumping heart. After months of texting, selfie sharing, and videochatting, my boyfriend would finally be on the same side of the world as I.

I shot off the couch in pure, unfettered excitement but forced myself not to skip to the door, employing a calculated casualness as I took a deep breath before gripping the knob and twisting it open.

My poor little heart slammed harder against its cage as I gazed at Changbin, absolutely decked in an all-black suit and holding a bouquet of unusually dark red roses. Leave it to Binnie to go all out with his fondess for all things dark.

I let out a much-restrained giggle as he grinned ear to ear, giving me an expression so much more happier than any of the ones I’d seen when I answered his video calls. His eyes crinkled as he took me in and let the attraction bloom across his glowing face.

He emitted a contented hmm before I finally broke the smile-off and said softly, “Annyeong, jalsaenggin.”

“A-annyeong, areumdaoon,” Changbin replied, adorably nervous.

I beckoned him inside the apartment, closed the door, and turned to face him. Eyeing the flowers in his hand, I said, “You've been planning to give me flowers even though I told you they’re not necessary, haven’t you?”

He glanced down at the floor with a sinister chuckle. “Ne.”

I shook my head with a smirk. “You didn't have to, but gamsahamnida.” I bowed my head at him, genuinely thankful for this sweet surprise.

“Cheonmaneyo,” he replied after bowing at me as well, still smiling with those tantalizing, full lips.

Segueing from the bouquet, I eyed his sleek outfit and touched a hand to his shoulder. “And you put on a suit for me?”

Changbin bit his lower lip—something I’d stupidly admitted turns me on when I was tipsy one night—and took a small step closer. “When we were in New York, when you and I talked about award shows, you said I look good in yangbok.”

This boy and his memory...

Dramatically planting my hands on my hips, I raised my voice a little: “Well I lied, Binnie. You look sexy in yangbok.”

His eyes had instinctually widened when I said “lied,” but then he scrunched his face into a disgustingly cute (≧◡≦) expression of childlike joy.

After we shared some shy chuckles, I sighed, still alive with energy. “Well,” I began, reaching for the bouquet, “let me put these in water.” I started toward the kitchen before he grabbed my wrist, gently yanking me back.

Unmoved, he stood in the entryway with raised arms and expectant eyes, and I realized he had been patiently waiting the whole time to embrace me.

I cackled in my mind for a second before saying, “Two minutes; I promise. Put your shoes there.” I pointed to a small, makeshift closet area wedged between my bedroom and bathroom, then I slipped into the kitchen, our eyes glued to each other the entire time.

Once I'd dropped the roses into a long-forgotten vase I dug out of a seldom opened cabinet, I pivoted on the smooth tile and boosted myself up onto the counter, near the sink, in one fluid motion. Changbin had been patiently leaning, hands in pockets, against a pillar directly across the kitchen with seductive, hooded eyes.

Time to make that a shit-eating grin.

I locked eyes with him and opened my bent legs outward, heels against the cabinets. I raised my arms and fought the urge to espouse a flirtatious expression while he wasted no time marching across the kitchen and wrapping his firm arms around me as I wrapped my legs around his torso. He nuzzled his head into the crook of my neck, and I rested my head atop his.

I tenderly stroked his abundant black hair with one hand and gripped a toned shoulder blade with the other. My heart had slowed down a bit, but it was still abnormal enough for him to feel my jugular throbbing against his cheek. He held me so tightly—not uncomfortably... but passionately. Making up for all the lost time and lost touch.

I felt Changbin starting to trail a finger up my spine, and just as he was hoping, I involuntarily lurched against him. So he’s gonna play that game with me... I thought. I exhaled loudly and whispered into his ear, “You can either save that for later or much sooner than later. Your choice.”

He laughed against my neck, finally pulling away just enough to see my face. He paused, taking his sweet time mining my bright eyes for clues. In this moment, I realized despite my nervous fervor that he’d done his whole skincare routine before coming here, and the scent of his favorite cologne was emanating from his visibly pulsing jugular.

“Sooner, please,” Changbin answered quietly, gazing at me with begging eyes.

“Sooner,” I nodded, leaning in to delicately kiss him, not pressing my lips too hard against his. I wanted to savor the feeling of his unfairly beautiful lips on mine. But, mashing his lips deeper, he slid his hands beneath my ass to whisk me off the counter, still tightly wrapped around his back like the precious cargo I am.

He carried me to my bedroom as I placed random kisses on his smooth skin. At the foot of the bed, he let my body, almost unwillingly, cascade to the floor, keeping his hands on my waist.

“‘Just hang out and talk,’ huh,” I remarked sarcastically with a chuckle. I weaved my arms underneath his and hugged him closer, holding my face just a few inches from his.

Biting his lip again, Changbin paused to compose the perfect reply as he tucked my hair behind an ear. “We didn’t mention what we would do while we talked...” he trailed off, his eyelids drooping suggestively.

I smirked and maneuvered my hands to undo his jacket button. Pausing, I looked up at him and said in a solemn voice, “I think I'll undress you, unlike that one night I chickened out before you left.”

“I knew you had it in you,” he murmured in a playfully patronizing tone.

“Oh, it's gonna be in me,” I lobbied back, narrowing my eyes and smirking again. I snaked my hands up his chest and over his shoulders to slide off his jacket. “I'll hang it all up so nothing wrinkles.”

Changbin followed me to the closet as I hung the jacket.

“Tell me, baby: what are you thinking about?” I asked, working on his shirt buttons.

While he paused to think up a good answer, I unbelted him and tugged out the edges of his shirt.

“Just you,” he said, confidently.

We worked his pants off together, and I hung them too. “Great minds think alike.”

Then I removed his dress shirt as he stood there, just smiling like an idiot in love. After what seemed like forever, he was down to his last undergarments, which I left for the fun to come.

“They’re gone,” I noted in a soft voice while caressing his stomach, devoid of the abs he’d talked about so often during their tour.

Changbin groaned quietly, putting on a comical frown. “Don’t talk about it...”

I laughed, bent down to plant a kiss on the curve of his supple stomach, and led him back to the foot of the bed. I sat him down and backed up a few steps, preparing for something I rarely had the courage to do for boyfriends. He watched me intently, and I realized that his lips had seldom turned downward since he'd arrived.

“So,” I began, hands in my sweatshirt pocket and my excitement painfully, embarrassingly obvious, “you must feel like the best dressed person here.”

He nodded innocently as I weaseled out of the baggy sweatshirt and tossed it aside to reveal a scarlet open-cup bra with strategically placed, intricately lacy flowers adorning the cups. I watched his eyebrows rise as he assessed me feverishly.

“Well, I dressed up too,” I continued in my best velvety tone of flirtation.

Slowly and purposefully, I shimmied out of my equally baggy sweats and kicked those aside too. Now my full outfit was on display, and I felt a chill come over me. This time, I revealed a scarlet, gartered thong that featured more strategically placed lace and several strappy pieces holding the lace bits together—a barely-there kind of piece that emphasized the curves of my figure.

Finishing off the look was a pair of scarlet thigh-high stockings with matching lace at the top... his only clue if Changbin had noticed my toes enrobed in sheer red hosiery.

I stood straighter, sucked in my stomach, shifted my weight on either foot to demonstrate a few cheesy poses before giving him the full turnaround. He was dumbstruck, speechless, and empty-eyed, his face alight with intrigue as I inched forward and straddled him. Cupping his jaws below the ears and leaning in, I whispered, "Now undress me and touch my back again."
