Round two: OH-I-SEE, signed vs Desafortunadamente

(poll at the end)

OH-I-SEE, signed (ASL, American Sign Language)

Translation: OH-I-SEE

ASL is used in the US and Canada except for Quebec. In total there are 990 000 users, of which 408 000 live in the US. It is part of a language family with sign languages derived from LSF, French sign language. This is the largest sign language family as France was the first country to gather all deaf children and teach them the same sign language. Many countries, including the US, recruited sign teachers for their own deaf schools from France, which means they have a common origin and form a language family. Because they evolve as languages tend to do and are influenced by local village sign languages (a group of deaf people in a community create their own sign language, common where deafness is inherited in one or a few families) or home signs (incomplete signs for a bare minimum of communication that isn’t considered a language, common where a deaf child is surrounded by only hearing people), they diverge and become separate languages. In turn, ASL has become the basis of many sign languages in the Caribbean and Africa, often due to missionaries. Some of them are still called ASL and some are named after the country.

Motivation: It's a good thing to say when you don't want to interrupt but still show that you're paying attention, deaf swag frfr, you can use it in a variety of situations, etc etc

Desafortunadamente (Spanish)

[d̪e.sa.foɾ.t̪uˌna.ð̞aˈmẽn̪.t̪e]

Translation: Unfortunately

Spanish is an Indo-European language belonging to the Romance branch. It’s spoken by 559 million people worldwide, 46,6 million of those in Spain and 74 million as a second language. It’s counted as the second largest language (based on number of native speakers) after Mandarin.

Motivation: It's just so much fun to say. It has lived in my brain rent free for 10 years. I will mentally insert it into almost every conversation ever.

Note: The Wiktionary example sentence for this is very funny: “Desafortunadamente, soy adulto.” Unfortunately, I am an adult.

Me gustaría que me prometiera solo tres cosas fáciles desde inicio la persona con la que empiece a compartir más tiempo del usual y que sería lo siguiente:

▪︎Prometer no prometer nada que no está segurx de cumplir

▪︎Prometer no usar palabras que no está segurx de sentir

▪︎Prometer respetar las anteriores promesas

Solo eso pido a cambio, soy una persona que cree fácil en las palabras desafortunadamente..

Últimamente en todos los momentos de felicidad, se abre un gran temor al saber que no durará por mucho.

시는 모든 산, 모든 계곡입니다. 나는 세상을 이야기하고 꽃이 피는 걸 보았다.

la poésie est chaque montagne, chaque vallée; je parle du monde et je regarde les fleurs s'épanouir.

poetry is every mountain, every valley; i speak the world into existence and i watch the flowers bloom.
