Me on the bus:
Omg I wonder what language that person behind me is talking. Should I ask her? Or would that be weird and awkward? Maybe. But I really want to know what that language is though. Okay, I’ll ask what language it is after she finishes the phone call. Or I don’t know, I suddenly feel really shy. Maybe I’ll realize what language it is if I listen very carefully. Nope. I have no idea. What language is it? Oh no she’s getting off the bus. Now I’ll never know. Shit.
I can so relate to this
New Rule
if I want to start learning a new language, then I have to do it through one of the ones I already have a decent grasp on (and should be practicing instead of picking up a new one)
e.g. watching Spanish videos on French pronunciation.
People are prettiest when they talk about something they really love with passion in their eyes.

So for a class I had to talk to a computer AI...
ELIZA: How do you do. Please tell me your problem.
YOU: My back hurts
ELIZA: Is it important to you that your back hurts ?
YOU: sort of. I feel constant pain all day.
ELIZA: Tell me more about such feelings.
YOU: It just feels like a constant annoyance.
ELIZA: Lets discuss further why your back hurts.
YOU: ok
ELIZA: Tell me more about that.
YOU: It might be from the way I sleep
ELIZA: Can you elaborate on that ?
YOU: I sleep on my side or my stomach rather than on my back.
ELIZA: Your back ?
YOU: my back
ELIZA: Does that suggest anything else which belongs to you ?
YOU: my baby back ribs, yeah girl.
ELIZA: Your baby back ribs ?
YOU: my baby back baby back baby back ribs.
ELIZA: Why do you say your baby back baby back baby back ribs ?
YOU: because you have no idea what I'm talking about
ELIZA: Do you enjoy being talking about ?
YOU: does is if I were was how the do thing?
ELIZA: Do you think it's likely that you was was how the do thing ?
YOU:
Little by little, Duolingo is teaching me embrace my humanity. Now that I can experience emotions, I’ve just about complete my journey.
i wish birds brought ME presents
No, but think about this.
The crows she feeds obviously have their own little lives. They go about their business, and they spot *pretty thing* or /unique thing/ in question. What gets me is that the *first* thing on their minds as recipient of this thing is the little girl that feeds them.
They spot a thing, and immediately must think, “that nice girl with delicious foodstuffs must have this to show my gratitude.”
When we had an apple tree in our yard, we noticed some apples go missing. We also noticed corn cobs nearby. We thought a neighbor had been trying to throw them to our horses (farmers were growing corn a couple houses over) and missed the field.
Fact: crows were leaving them behind in exchange for taking apples.
CROWS HAVE A SENSE OF ECONOMY AND THE BARTER SYSTEM.
They’re adapting.
Crows are super intelligent creatures

me speaking to a word in my target language: I recognise you. I know I’ve seen you before. But who are you?

How is "bella" used in Italian?? I saw your post about it an was rather confused, sorry if it sounds silly..
That’s not silly at all! Bella is generally known as the term for “pretty, beautiful” by non-Italians, who therefore mistranslate is as a pick-up line. It is actually one of our ways to say “dude, bro” as the word retains a nice, friendly meaning. Here I listed a few examples of how often you may hear it:"Ciao bello!" = Hey dude! (lit. Hi pretty!)"Ciao bella!" = Hey gal! (lit. Hi pretty!)"Bellaaa!" = What’s up?? :D (Informal version of Ciao, lit. Hi/Bye)"Bella raga!" = What’s up guys? :D (lit. Neat, guys!)"Bella storia zio" = Cool story bro (lit. Nice story uncle)"Bella!" = Sweet, let’s do that!"Sta cosa è troppo bella" = I’m so happy about it! (lit. This thing is too nice/awesome!)"Facciamo la bella?" = Are you up for a final match? (La bella = final challenge/match, test you’re handing in; la brutta = scrabbled note, first match, first try)We also have a number of pop references and memes, but here I just wanted to enlist a few. You can use superlatives as well: “Bellissimo!!” = Awesome!! or “Ciao bellissima!!” = Hi mate! (lit. Hi gorgeous!)I was glad Feli used the proper “Ciao bella!” because he would actually do that? The epithet itself is neutral-positive, like “Hi friend” or similar.. I could call you “Bella/o” at 8 am on a Monday morning at school and that would just mean “friend”. You can substitute it with gender-neutral ones if you’re wondering about it.
let’s add also “bello di mamma” which is another term of endearment that mother should say at their kids but honestly it’s often used it with everyone.
Also “bello di casa” which is yet another way of saying “dude!”, often used sarcastically.
It’s also completely unrelated to physical aspect, like I might say it to someone I don’t find pretty at all.
No really it’s not a pick-up line. I use ‘ciao bello’ with my brother all the time and there’s really nothing incestuous about that.
A must have for any beginning Latinist, the Conjugating Coffee Mug will see you through the toughest of synopsis quizzes.
Excellenter!
where can I buy this????
Why didn't I have this when I used to learn Latin?! Now it's too late. Now I hate it
