Sano se saameksi/Säg det på samiska/Say it in Saami

I had the sudden idea to find out what Aurora Borealis or the Northern lights are called in any of the Sámi languages.

Instead of finding out I ended up on this phrasebook website for North Saami, Inari Saami and Skolt Saami. It is a website under the Finnish national broadcast company YLE, which is most probably why it focuses on these three.

Say it in Saami

Learn the indigenous North, Inari and Skolt Saami languages, watch documentaries about Saami-speaking people and learn the basics of Saami c

The site is available in Finnish, Swedish and English for anyone interested in having a browse through. I found the quick guide to Saami culture interesting myself and it featured quite a bit of different resources to check out.

French: Être vs Suivre

Recently learned that "je suis" has two different meanings.

"I am" & "I follow"

Être = je suis, tu es, il/elle/on est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils/elles sont

Suivre = je suis, tu suis, il/elle/on suit, nous suivons, vous suivez, ils/elles suivent

So, if you see "je te suis," it doesn't mean "I am you."

Je te suis = I follow you (literal) Je te suis = I'm with you, I understand you, I get you (figurative)

What they don’t tell you about speaking multiple languages is that your brain does not in fact have a box labeled Spanish and another one labeled German. Instead it has a box labeled “Not English” and sometimes when you’re talking or writing in one of the languages you speak it will just start pulling random words from that box.

Can confirm. My brain has also defaulted to one non-native language if it is not my mother tongue resulting in:
