Us, arriving to Austria to a tiny family hotel owned by an elderly lady

Us: speak only limited German

Lady: barely speaks English

Us:

Lady:

Lady: Czech? Slovak?

Us: Czech

Lady, to herself: Czech, that's a Slavic language right

Lady: understand Yugoslavian?

Us:

Us: yeah that works

[eastern-lights]

Shit like this can really only happen in Europe. Reminds me of the time I took my best shot at ordering at a restaurant in Spain in spanish. The closest language to spanish that I actually speak is latin.

Waiter: Germany?

Me: No, Czechia.

Waiter, in a heavily accented but intelligible Czech: Why didn’t you say so before! We get you guys here all the time!

Já v roce 2019 na Ukrajině: OK, takže když použiju tohle staročeský slovo, přidám polský sloveso, své chabé znalosti záhoráčtiny a řeknu to s ruskym přízvukem, tak to projde.

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

[Me in 2019 in Ukraine: ok so if i use this Old Czech word, add a Polish verb, my poor knowledge of the Záhorie dialect of Slovak and say it with a Russian accent, it might pass]

Reminds me of the time when we were in Poland and I tried to order a burger using a truly unholy mix of Slovak, Russian and Ostrava dialect (which in itself is like an unholy mix of Czech and Polish).

I did get the burger

[#my grandpa called this "Slavic Esperanto"]

I know Ukrainians who can do this on purpose and masterfully, and it was mind-blowing to hear a speech as immediately understandable to an audience of native speakers of three different native Slavic languages, not just two languages as is common

[alamuts-lair-of-madness]

During one student exchange I (a Pole) got acquainted with two students from Czechia and Russia. At first we talked in English or German, but after a while we’ve noticed, that we could understand each other’s native languages just fine. And if some word was unknown in one language, another one had the right synonym.

*Each of us talking in their mother tongue*

Me: Bla bla bla.

Russian: I don’t know this “bla”.

Czech: Oh, we have “bla”! We also call it “that”!

Russian: Oh I know “that”! It’s a very old version of “this”.

Me: Oh, we have “this” too, but it means something slightly different.

German acquaintance: Was für nen Scheiß zieht ihr da ab? o_O

the reason there aren't slavic people in the bible is that they wouldn't have been surprised or awed to hear the disciples speak in tongues and be understood by people of many nations at once

Slavs walked away from the Tower of Babel mildly inconvenienced.

[invisiblefoxfire]

As a non-native speaker of Czech who is only conversationally proficient and has terrible grammar, let me tell you, no one was more surprised than I was to discover that I can understand Slovak just fine. And when the two moving guys finished hauling my furniture to my new apartment and we were chatting a bit before they left, I discovered that the reason I'd had a little trouble understanding one of their "accents" was because he was speaking Ukrainian the whole time.

In a distant post-Anthropocene future, after the rise of the sharkfolk civilization, a hammerhead shark named Roberto asks himself a question! 🦈💬

Music: Aero Garden - by: Alyzea

As promised, here's the full version of this test sketch I made. Originally, there weren't supposed to be any characters in the scene, but I wanted to experiment with how I would do it and inserted Roberto and Tiago having a silly, random dialogue.

For location reference, this scene would be from this area. Called the Colortrail Courtyard.

the opening sequence to shiboyugi continues to be peak.

for a whole chunk of the season you only get the moody melancholic music and a camera shot that looks vaguely first person. blues and purples on a highway scene. a big mesh fence with holes in it. you drop down to the road, with cars flying past you. it's both poetic and unsettling.

some time down the road you realize this is yuuki's POV, at least in part. you learn this after seeing her silently ponder her life, existence, people, these death games she plays. unsure what she really thinks, as you most often are as the viewer.

it's ambiguous but not so much. the scenery is one of a chunk of highway network far off from any cities. she's alone. she's walked all the way there. it's night. you can guess at the her mindset: she's lost, she needed a walk and fresh air, and twenty minutes didn't cut it, could never have cut it. she may be suicidal. dropping down in the stream of cars hurled at speeds made for turning people into paste. she may be thrill-seeking. she's playing with her own mortality, the same way she does at work. the ambiguity lies in the fact that this is her free time.

and then a few more episodes down the line the cars begin to wear crowns of flames as they fly past. every impersonal speeding car is also a desolate car fire. you can't seem to get a glimpse of people in it. it's become surreal, alienating. who does she have? no one. just danger and the vestigial impression of people existing.

people will really come into kink spaces and say you can't forcefem women like there wasn't a feature length movie about an elderly gay man forcefemming a woman as part of scheme to thwart an elaborate assassination attempt before the killer even determined their target
