He's literally obsessed with kicking the ball at this kid in this fashion lately... show off..

Bonus of my favourite, precious dansk rotte:

#the way i learn words just to be able to use them when referring to this man.. #also if that's not correct? i don't care 😤 come speak my language and find out it's not so fun either #anyway in totally unrelated news today i have that song from Barbie stuck in my head #you know that one that Billie wrote for it? the really depressing one? #yeah that one.. you don't understand the melancholy i'm living with besties.. #meanwhile Kasper is posting about the beach on his stories while i'm out here rotting away #and it's sick and twisted because i KNOW he's about to hit that sauna again.. my man *is* obsessed with it.. and he'll never post about it #he'll never drop a little selfie like he did.. totally shirtless... i miss that... #enough sorrow let me get back to work #Kasper Schmeichel #king thicccness #danish captain america #actually now that i think about it.. #i could have written min yndlings dansk rotte.. but i don't know how to say precious yet #i'm poor on complimentary vocabulary.. or vocabulary in general 😅 #edit to add: learning that that is not correct is hilarious #so if i want to say it that way then I'd have to attach possibly dansk rotte to it too? #because apparently yndling is a noun so you have to add the s and make it into a compound word? #there's also favorit and that's an adjective which makes it simpler because i can just write 'min favorit dansk rotte' but #favorit doesn't necessarily mean it's my personal favourite from what I'm reading and Kaspy is definitely my personal favourite so.. #min yndlingsdanskrotte? min yndlingsrotte would likely be more correct? HOW BIG CAN THESE DAMN COMPOUND WORDS GET?? #learning is hard and I'm too old and dumb 😔😔😔 #i genuinely don't understand this language and it makes me want to cry but anyway 😂

Compound Adjectives in English

Compound Adjectives in English Hello English learners. Welcome to a new lesson. You probably know that we use adjectives to describe a noun. So, we can say that somebody is a strong man. But we can also use a compound adjective and say that he is a strong-willed man. A compound adjective consists of two (fast-growing) or more words (one-in-a-million) and it usually uses a hyphen between the words…

wizard fun fact: you can turn a fireball into a flaming basketball with a ward of burning

#i'm really not sure how ward names work #it prevents burning - would that be a ward of anti-burning? a ward of burning? a burn ward? an anti-burn ward? agh #wizardposting #sewi's stuff #also! not to analyse my own words but. #in the phrase “wizard fun fact”‚ “fun fact” is actually a compound word! you can tell bc if “fun” was an adjective #then the phrase would have to be “fun wizard fact” because of english's fucking mandatory adjective hierarchy #(i have no idea what the order actually is on a concious level but. i know it subconciously and do not wanna conciousize it lol)

girl help i have literally been studying english for years and i've just learned the actual rules of compound adjective hyphenation how the fuck did i survive this long

#this all started with me checking the spelling for ramrod-straight and then realising i have no idea if i should hyphenate it or not #and i tried to think of other compound adjectives but i could not conceptualise a rule out of those examples so i had to look it up #and apparently because english makes no fucking sense it is entirely dependent on cotext #(i am exaggerating it actually was pretty clear. this is definitely one of the more rational rules of english grammar)

Saw a post about "untranslatable" words but I'm being so brave about it

#it was a full combo with 'german has a word for everything' even #like you have the exact same options for compounding in English you just generally don't spell them as one word #unless it's an adjective+noun compound #like jesus 'German has super specific words but English is also very special and has the ability to refer to very specific things and ideas #is not the strong point you think it is you literally just described every natural language so good job #like it's not even technically wrong information but the way it is framed is fucking stupid #and like even if the language you're talking about doesn't like compounding it'll instead just use adjectives instead #like you can totally talk about untranslatable words but those are usually discourse markers and stuff like that #and I would actually love to see ppl talk more about those bc they're extremely fucking cool and interesting #or modal particles #you know ... cool shit #not this 'hurr durr Waldeinsamkeit Weltschmerz' bullshit #and then if ppl are physically talking about it they also always put the stress in the wrong place #like bestie the rules for where stress is in English compounds is the exact same as the ones for stress in German compounds it's not hard #this one's specifically targeted at the actor who played prince albert in the victoria series #petition to have native speakers of a language play roles that are supposed to be native speakers of that language #the amount of times german-speaking characters in that show go 'let's speak English' bc clearly speaking german #is like torture to the actors omg #like I watch it and go 'oh yes please do I thought you'd never propose that' #like when you as a native speaker need subtitles bc otherwise you'd have no fucking clue what ppl are saying #bc their pronunciation is just that deplorable #and they do have two German actors in that show but they speak like 2 sentences in German each #like bestie :(

why the hell are you people saying "transwomen" so much lately. those are two seperate words. trans woman. a woman who is trans. trans is an adjective. trans women are women who are also trans. making it a compound word makes it sound like theyre a whole new thing. they're not!!! they're women!!! cut it out!!!!

#ive seen someone say ''trans man'' and ''transwoman'' in the same sentence. nightmare #barking

A worm can do many things, for example, they can dig themselves underneath the earth and learn to love; however, worms can not hate because they are worms and love what they do.

Katakana for emphasis/difference

Earlier I was telling @earhartsease about the use of katakana not only foreign loan words but for emphasis/difference. I found a few examples in my Kanken training app, so I thought I'd share them here.

Here the question is asking you to convert the syllables オギナウ from katakana to the correct kanji and hiragana combination. In this case, the katakana is used to supply the syllables but not the information in those syllables (not the character, with its embedded meaning, or the cutoff between the character and the hiragana that completes the adjective.

The correct answer here is 補う.

Here the katakana アイウエ (a i u e) are used like an English multiple choice ABCD. (Correct answer ウ, U, because the compound 若者, wakamono, young person, is comprised of 2 訓読み, kun-yomi, or native Japanese readings).

And here's an example of me answering the type of question in the first example.
