Soooo life has been very hectic lately, and I'm trying to figure out how to do the adult thing and fit everything I need to do without conpletely sacrificing the things I enjoy doing. Its not going well and my mental state is deteriorating from constant stress and anxiety. So in a probably futile attempt to avoid cutting out language study entirely Im going to have to drop old norse for a little bit. Japanese will also probably be scaled back a bit for a while, even though I'll probably still do a little with it here and there since its the one I'm furthest along in. But since Hebrew and Egyptian are most relevant to what I've got going on in the rest of my studies, I'm going to be focusing almost entirely on those for the next couple months. Maybe that will give me some study time, maybe it won't. I'm just tired, and trying (and failing) to not loose my motivation entirely.

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

[ichigo-kuriimu]

Standard English: It’s cold, isn’t it?

Japanese: Samui desu ne?

British: It’s fuckin’ freezin’, innit?

i have to do everything around here

i hate this cause i did japanese for like a year and this explains the use of the -ne particle WAYYYY better than my teachers ever did. it took me ages to comprehend what this post makes abundantly clear.

my teachers: its like a, a little rise at the end of a sentence, to show that you are seeking a response, while not warranting the -ka particle which would make it a proper question.

me: ok. i guess i get that??

this post: its like saying “innit?” 

me: oh. oh no.

[wind-on-the-panes-deactivated20]

fun fact: afaik, "-ne" was inherited from the Portuguese settlers/priests that stayed in Japan in the 16th century. It comes from "né?", which the contraction of "não é?", "isn't it?".

It's LITERALLY "innit".

wait Yiddish does this with “nu”

German sitting on its “Ne?”

[academicgangster]

"na?" or "hai na?" serves the same function in Hindi - literally "-or no?"/"is it or no?"
