I once had someone go “Brazil? That’s in Africa, right?” and I, a Brazilian, had to go “No, it’s in South America.”

Never in a million years did I expect them to respond with “South America? Where’s that?”

And yet, there we were.

Hey someone PLEASE explain what playersexual means before I have a stroke and die

[papercorvids]

“playersexual,” despite sounding like a completely awful, horrible word, means NPCs can be attracted to whatever the character assigns as their gender.

oh thank god. i thought they were attracted to the player

かねる : Three Uses!

かねる is a piece of grammar that you will find littered in N2 material. This can be confusing sometimes as you’re about to see, but hang in there and we’ll get through this!

Verb stem +  かねる means “cannot deal with” / できない . This is when something is difficult or impossible to do.

お客様の個人情報は、教えかねます。

残念ながら、そのご提案はお受けいたしかねます。

彼は留学生活の寂しさに耐えかねて、１年もたたないうちに帰国してしまった。

Verb stem + かねない means “could”/かもしれない .Used when something that the speakers evaluates as negative might occur.

そんな乱暴な運転をしたら事故を起こしかねないよ。

保護しないと、この種は絶滅しかねない。

風邪だからといって放っておくと、大きい病気になりかねない。

～をかねる For this last version pay attention that the particle を will precede the verb, also written as 兼ねる with its kanji. This is used to express that one thing serves as two or more functions simultaneously. 

サラさんの送別会をかねて、クラスで懇親会を開いた。

休日の朝は平時より遅く起きて、朝食と昼食を兼ねた食事をとる。

私は勉強と遊びを兼ねている仕事に就きたい。

I know with かねる and かねない it’s very hard to remember which is which because one means できない and the other means かもしれない . The trick I have when I can’t remember isn’t necessarily a great one, but it works for me.

If you line up かねる and its meaning できない like I did, there is one extra letter  い that doesn’t line up. Using that extra letter I then remember it as, “I ( い) can’t do it.” Again, is this a dumb method? Yes. Does it work if you are doing a test/practice test/practice questions and you can’t for the life of you remember which one is which? Also yes. 

I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions!

As someone with multiple bilingual friends where English is not the first language, may I present to you a list of actual incidents I have witnessed:

Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.

Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”

Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.

Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.

Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.

Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.

Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”

Bilingual characters are great but if you’re going to use a linguistic blunder, you have to really understand what they actually blunder over. And it’s usually 10x funnier than “Ooops it’s hard to switch back.”

@people who refuse to tag their 4th of July posts

Hello! My name’s Laura and i’m Lakota Sioux!

My family and I abstain from celebrating 4th of July every year because we’ve literally had our lands taken from us, our people brutally slaughtered and our traditions erased by the white people who brought ‘independence’ to this country, and we see it as a big middle finger to Native American people. Naturally, as such, I don’t enjoy seeing posts about this holiday. They physically make me upset, and more often than not i’ll see my mother cry because of people’s blatant disregard for our struggles. 

People tell me to shut up and not ruin their fun every year. People tell me to not be so preachy. People tell me relax. No matter how many times I try and explain that their ‘FREEDOM FUCK YEAH’ posts only apply to those of light skin, people still ignore us. 

I understand that you guys want to just have a good time, and don’t let me stop you, but please have some regard for us today. Please keep the people who’s entire existence was tarnished to make this day a thing in your minds and hearts when you’re eating apple pie and setting off fireworks.

Please just listen to us for once.

Reblog this for me, please. I want this to be heard.

[aph--china-deactivated20190810]

Independence day is about the colonies cutting ties with England. It’s not about you guys. When the white people from Europe settled, they pushed the natives over into other spaces and sent them with all the new diseases (like smallpox) that we brought on the boats. 

The slaying and moving of the natives? That came way after. For you specifically, that came in 1912, 200 years after independence day. I understand that it was the beginning of the end, but the 4th of July has nothing to do with colonization and destroying the natives. 

-

And you know what? I’ve met you in person Laura. You’re white. Your mom is white. Everyone I met while I met you in Michigan? white. Your heart is in the right place or whatever but I can’t stand seeing your posts about being “native” on my dash. You might speak some of a native language but that’s probably because you pride yourself in learning 30 some languages. 

When I got on a plane to meet you, you’d told me your mom was Swedish. Your mom was Swedish and your Dad was German. You told me she had a HEAVY SWEDISH ACCENT. And when I got there, I wasn’t disapointed. I understand the being nervous and making shit up to seem cool. Lying isn’t fun for me anymore. Grow up.
