I Voted Luna, But Also Wanna Nominate Fengari (Greek (Φεγγάρι))

currently working on a new project. gonna take a few weeks i think but might as well post my progress (this is one week's worth of work 😞)

(Native Spanish speaker, Also learned Greek for 13 years)

In Spanish, "person" is "persona". It ends in -a, so it's feminine. This has nothing to do with the gender of the person in question. Every person is a persona. You don't call men "*persono", because that's not a word.

In Greek, boy (αγόρι) and girl (κορίτσι) are neuter because they end in -ι.

Keys don't change gender if I change language (las llaves (feminine), τα κλειδιά (neuter), the keys (N/A)), the only thing that changes is the word(s) used to refer to them.

saying grammatical gender is about the object itself and not just its word is like saying there's something different between the actions "πάω" and "πηγαίνω" JUST because they're in different verb genders (-άω vs -ω), despite the fact they're literally the same thing. They both mean "I go". No nuanced little differences between the two, they are literally the same.

The word for chair in Spanish (silla) is feminine because it just happened to go into that category. Nothing about the chair itself is feminine.

After all, it's Grammatical gender. Grammar applies to words, not objects.

Google translator has a maximum of 5000 characters, but character with only one sound like "t" count as much as characters with multiple sounds like "ツ". So what is the longest thing I can make the google transalor text-to-speech say?

probably the string consisting of exactly 4997 9's in a row followed by "兆光年". that's pretty long

it's currently 4:30 AM and i require night water

why is water so much better during the forbidden hours

help

...so this is how I find out "Moon" has two names in Greek (Σελήνη (Selene (or Selini (η= /i/ because iotacism in Modern Greek))) and Φεγγάρι (Fengari))

Selene's pretty cool too, but i also like Fengari

"The word 'bed' looks like a bed, and means bed, so that means emojis are literally just a re-invention of the english alphabet with less historical baggage"

or something

it's mildly annoying when people compare emoji to hieroglyphs. like I get where the misconception comes from, but it's still a little bit frustrating to see

oh greek does this too

άνδρας (ándras) means both man and husband, and γυναίκα (gynéka) means both woman and wife.

φίλος/η (fílos/i) means both friend and boy/girlfriend.

φιλία (filía, or should i say philía) means friendship, and yet there's the whole -phile suffix

wack tbh

broke: malewife

woke: werewife

did you know? the word "woman" etymologically comes from "wifeman"
