i love gendered languages so much. we humanise everything. a fork is a boy. all spiders are girls even if they're male. myanmar used to be a girl but now they've changed their name and are now non-binary. penises are female

get so upset when i read old posts or just things i write and it is all wrong and not accurate

is so frustrating to me that the way words work in my brain is with scripts and chunks of language and when i use that to try build own thoughts, it just is not true so often.

and want so badly to express things, that i keep try over and over again, and always get it wrong. and so hard to explain to people that the words is wrong, and not match up with actual thoughts and experiences.

sometimes i don't even know what is the "right" version of how i explain something. because words just don't connect. and if i use only words i have (scripts, echolalia, chunks of language), it is always from someone else not me. and because of that, is not accurate or even correct at all.

is like - words connect with each other in patterns and chunks and can go down any path with the words to make sentences... but that not mean that the words is actually match to what i think at all. and if i cannot get hold of correct "pattern" or "path" for what i really want to say, often words go opposite direction and veer off path, connect to another different "section" of script. sometimes end up go in circles with this connect to patterns. this make brain loud.

wish i could just have telepathy and plug in to someone else brain, and send thoughts in "raw form" that way. without have to try to translate which is so so difficult and end up with so so SO much miscommunication/misunderstanding.

gay af for a man to be learning languages. why you want to share your tongue with another man? 🤨🤨

The lack of one simple word in english to differentiate jagody from borówki and wiśnie from czereśnie is so infuriating to me

So I've read a few things now where always-nonverbal people are understandably upset about people who are sometimes/usually verbal using the term "nonverbal"/ "go nonverbal" to refer to a temporary situation. It makes it harder for them to find community and talk about their stuff. So obviously we need a different term for the temporary thing.

Perhaps "wordless"? But then that has other meanings too. "langnone"? "verbroke"?

IDK, I don't have good ideas here. What about y'all?

You know, it's interesting that my sister constantly scolded me, saying that if I continued to say "blesh you" in response to people sneezing (as opposed to "bless you"), that no one would understand me.

Well, just a short while ago I said "blesh you" to my dad and guess what! He understood! Wow! It's almost like language is flexible and allows for idiolects!

I'd been struggling to find tips on imposition that would help me do four pages a sheet instead of two and realised only after very many useless searches that I was writing "quatro booklet" not "quarto booklet" - which I realise is four spelt wrong in the first place but, listen.

English is not my native language.

Just because I studied Translation & Interpretation in the said language, everyone around me assumes English has suddenly become my native and I can answer to whatever they ask and shit.

There's no fucking way I can always know what you're asking. The same goes for my native language, Turkish. I can't always know what shit means in it too.

Sigh..

a weird part of being mostly self-taught in the few languages i do understand is that my mind still instinctively reads written numbers in my native language. which leads to things such as:

"hallo, ich bin dezenove jahre alt"

"hey bro, have you played cyberpunk dois mil e setenta e sete?"

"wait, gta seis is only coming out in 2025? that's lame"

#which is why i always type numbers as they are pronunced #like 'two' or 'fifteen' instead of 2 and 15 #helps me memorise it better #fyp #fypツ #memes #tumblr fyp #explorepage #explore #funny #hilarious #foryou #fypage #meme #dumb shit #shitpost #shitposting #more fyp to spite anon #language problems #language stuff #fun with languages

i work very hard on language and writing skills at the moment, i am trying to keep those skills. it is scary and hard to lose skills that i work so hard to get/keep.

AAC helps with remembering word forms and putting the puzzle together.

i will be proud if i can write/finish writing some of my thoughts, that i try to get out into words.

Me in the store alone looking for pickles: "What is avomaankurkku"

Boyfriend: "Pic"

Me: "Okay" *gets five of them*

Me: "Comes home again"

Boyfriend: "So where is the picture"

Me: Oh, I thought by pic you mean pickle

I want someone to speak the language I've been learning with but i know i am not fluent yet. It'd probably be like talking to a toddler

One thing I‘ll never understand is how casual means informal but casualty means victim?!? You have no idea how many times I accidentally think casualties are just barely injured persons
