Wenn Schnee liegen bleibt gibt es genau zwei Reaktionen, die Menschen in meinem Umfeld dazu haben:

1) "boah cool es hat geschneit" (kein Pendler)

2) Trauer, Wut und Verzweiflung, eventuell Glaubenskrise, ähnlich einem mittelalterlichen Kaufmann der soeben erfahren hat dass im Zielort seiner Handelsreise gerade die Pest grassiert (Pendler)

die Unterröcke (bekannt sind mir bisher Damen-, rosarot, himmelblau und einfach nur Unterrock) hab ich mal zusammengefasst, weil sich sowas ja sehr sehr schnell ändern kann.

Nach dem, was bisher so rausgekommen ist, scheint es plausibel, dass zumindest Regenschirm vs alter Mann ein ddr/brd Ding ist.

ABER!

ich habe in dem Prozess auch mitbekommen, dass es noch weitere Unterschiede gibt, also hier mal eine poll-Reihe!

No this happened to me multiple times. Why are Americans like this

[ichigo-kuriimu]

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?

[ichigo-kuriimu]

i have to do everything around here

[notahorseindisguise]

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".

The liminal space of "zwischen den Jahren".

[tiredmilkshake]

thinking about that german tik tok I saw that was like "maybe ai can do my job, but can ai replicate my Arbeitszeitbetrug? No that's real craftsmanship"

And like yes I can subcribe to that sentiment

Also of course german has a word for that.

[billyranger]

[naturalblue22]

Mir hat die Präsentation nicht gefallen weil sie haben keine Bilder benutzt und zu viel auf die Folien geschrieben
