Translation: The Princess of Montpensier

Translation below:

Page 3: While the Civil War tore apart France under the reign of Charles the 9th, love still managed to find its place among such disorder, and of it brought about plenty within his empire. The only daughter of the marquess of Meziere, very considerable heiress, was promised by the illustrious house of Anjou, from which she was descended, to the duke of Maine, the younger brother of the duke of Guise, who has since been called the Scarred Man. The extreme youthfulness of this grand heiress postponed her marriage, and nevertheless the Duke of Guise, who often saw her and saw within her the beginnings of a great beauty, fell in love with and was loved by her. They hid their love with much care. The Duke of Guise, who hadn't yet such ambition as he has had since, wished ardently to wed her, but his fear of the Cardinal of Lorraine, who took the place of his father, stopped him from declaring his feelings. Things were

Page 4: in this state when the House of Bourbon who could only enviously watch the House of Guise's elevation, realizing the benefit that Guise would receive from this marriage, resolved to take it for themselves, by having the heiress marry the young prince of Montpensier. They worked toward the enactment of this plan with such success that the parents of Miss de Mézière, against the promises they had made to the Cardinal of Lorraine, decided to offer her in marriage to that young prince. The entire House of Guise was extremely surprised by this behaviour; but the Duke was stricken by grief, and the interest of his love caused him to receive this breach of promise as an unbearable affront. His resentment soon erupted, in spite of reprimands from the Cardinal of Lorraine and the Duke of Aumale, his uncles, who did not want to persist at something that they saw they could not prevent; and he lost his temper with a great violence, even in the presence of the young prince of Montpensier, which birthed a hatred between them that would only end with their lives. Miss de Mézière, tormented by her parents to marry this prince, seeing furthermore that she would not be able to marry the Duke of Guise, and knowing by her virtue that it was dangerous to have as a step-brother a man whom she had wanted as a husband, decided at last to heed the opinions of those close to her and beseeched Mr. de Guise to no longer impede her marriage. She thus married the prince of Montpensier who, soon after, brought her to Champigny, a regular lodging for the princes of his house, to bring her away from Paris where it looked like all the

how many ways can you choose 8 out of 26 letters of the english alphabet?!!!

why do passwords require you to use 8 characters? and what happens if you restrict these characters to only letters and no symbols...

there are 26 letters of the english alphabet. so there are 26 different ways to choose a single letter... we are simple for now.

DISCLAIMER: i specify english alphabet because i know for sure it has 26 letters! other languages (even those using the latin alphabet) can have different numbers of letters.

and then we want to pick a second letter... there are 26 different ways to choose another letter. fantastic! this is the same as before.

how many ways are there to pick a combination of two letters? hmmm... if there are 26 ways to pick the first letter and 26 ways to pick the second letter... well i'm stumped. i don't know if i should add these 26 + 26 or multiply these 26 x 26 or divide these 26 / 26 or what???! or maybe 26^26... this is too much to think about.

i will detour to the concept of "probability" which is intrinsically linked to the idea of "how many ways can (x) happen"

probability detour

what is the probability of choosing one specific letter - let's say "A" - from the alphabet? well...

"A" is just one letter from the alphabet, so we know there's only one "A"... or only "one way to choose A"

choose A for what? it doesn't matter! choose A for eating, choose A to put in the left side of a box... whatever works for your situation.

in any case, there is only 1 A, but there are 26 letters in the alphabet that you could potentially choose. you could say "there is only one out of twenty-six ways i could choose A!!!"...

and one way of expressing "(A) out of a total (B)" is as a fraction, A/B. we call this a "probability", which relates to our chances of something happening. so our probability of choosing A out of a box of 26 letters is 1/26, or a more familiar 3.8% chance.

we can understand probability better with a classic (maybe beaten-to-the-ground) example of a coin toss. let's make up a game with the following rules:

every single person on earth has to toss a coin

every person whose coin lands on the "heads" side can keep playing

every person whose coin lands on "tails" will stop playing

ROUND 1: since there's a 1/2 chance of landing heads, only about half of the people on earth can keep playing.

ROUND 2: half of the half remaining players keep playing... this is 1/4 of the original player population

ROUND 3: half of the half of the half of the remaining players keep playing... this is 1/8 of the original player population

it just keeps cutting in half!!! what?!!!

we can think of each consecutive round as "halving" the number of players. we can write this mathematically as continuously dividing by 2

original # of players in round 1, a number that i like to call "P" for "players"

-> P/2 players in round 2

-> (P/2)/2 = P/4 players in round 3

-> ((P/2)/2)/2 = (P/4)/2 = P/8 players in round 4

and so on....

we can express this as multiplying by (1/2) also! this is because dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by 1/(that number).

so it's like for the third round it's like (1/2)(1/2)(1/2), and for the fourth it's like (1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)... and it gets tiring to write out this multiplication. what if we play 100 rounds? i don't want to write that out 100 times! we'll write it using this little hat: ^

so writing (1/2)^100 means we've multiplied 1/2 together 100 times. from our previous example, we know that with a certain number ("n" for number) of rounds, the population of players will have been cut in half n times or multiplied by (1/2)^n.

and remembering that the denominator (the number in the "basement" of the fraction) in a probability represents the total number of potential options... then there are 2^n potential results for n coin flips!

for example, 2 coin flips could result in:

heads then tails

tails then heads

heads then heads

tails then tails

we could get this number "4" from the expression 2^2, where the first 2 represents the number of possible outcomes and the second 2 comes from the number of trials.

when we apply this to the alphabet...

let's think of our "entire world population" again.

1/26 of people will choose the letter "A".

then 1/26 of those 1/26 people will choose the letter "A".

then 1/26 of the 1/26 of the 1/26 will choose "A". do you see where i'm going with this?

if there are 8 "trials", we'll get (1/26)^8 people choosing "A", which is like a 0.00000000048% chance of choosing "A".

this means there are 26^8 = 208827064576 ways to choose 8 letters out of the alphabet!!! SO MANY!!!

so 8-letter passwords give a lot of possibility, even if you're just restricted to letters. it's hard to hack into a system with 208827064576 possibilities of passwords!

but this is only if you can reuse letters... what if you can't reuse letters?

will the number of possible passwords reduce? and how will we express this reduction? the answer is... factorials! which i may or may not discuss.

i finally started using notion to keep track of my to do lists and honestly SO GOOD.............. i would immediately forget everything if i didn't put it in my planner PHEW

[truonghoc]

yeah i have not kept this up

[truonghoc]

also sorry for the lack of language content on here recently everyone !! i just haven't been finding any resources here on tunglr >u< i HAVE been studying languages still though - i apparently learned enough spanish from one semester class to skip like three semesters ??? so THAT'S KINDA COOL and also i've been learning lots of japanese through duolingo :3 i was v inspired after i watched sailor moon and i realized i could understand some of the eps and i was like omg... i need to cultivate this

i haven't been studying the target languages listed in my bio though :/ >u< i haven't really been motivated to learn korean but i might try to pick it up again - especially if i watch squid game hehe! i haven't really been studying mandarin or cantonese either >.< and do i have french listed?? i legit haven't touched french in years

and i haven't been actively studying vietnamese because it's honestly just super hard guys... none of the resources i could find online are in my accent (hue) or particularly good/clear tbh :/ but i have been practicing informally bc i've been speaking a lot more viet recently since a family member came over from vietnam!

also i tried taking uni spanish but honestly it just wasn't fun :/ we were expected to do this "backwards learning" process where we watched the ABSOLUTELY MOST BORING videos before each class and we would just do practice sentences in class and then get like three hw assignments every day :/ like dude there are better ways to teach a language than this... not to mention the dumb projects and draconian attendance rules sigh honestly i didn't think it was possible to ruin a spanish course but i understand now... yikes

anyway, i'm focusing mostly nowadays on the actual courses i'm taking!

- physics (is my main priority because it's my heaviest workload - i'm enjoying it so far! it can be really frustrating and hard sometimes but that's the nature of physics i guess >u<)

- calculus (tbh i haven't done any of the homework... i just start the assignments and hope for the best)

- anthropology (this one can sometimes be interesting and sometimes be boring! it's not too much work overall but certain weeks it can get stressful.... and i have to get started on my essay)

- nazi germany (this is a night class so i'm always SO TIRED during the lecture... but the prof is good and super engaging! so i enjoy it ^_^)

and i've been sitting in on an orgo course! so fun!

okage

おかげ okage is a phrase used express gratitude or thankfulness that things turned out as hoped. you could use it to express your thanks directly to someone, as in: 

先生のおかげで大学を卒業しました – it’s thanks to my teacher I graduated college. 

or it could be used in the fuller phrase, おかげさまで, okagesamade, which more literally means, “thanks to you.” 

although it seems to usually be written in hiragana, the original kanji was 蔭 kage. in Japanese, the word means “shadow, silhouette, phantom, etc.” however, because of its semi-religious roots, the connotation was of a shadow of a god watching over and protecting you (think something along the lines of the English phrase, “thank God”). 

in the older Chinese readings from which we get the modern Japanese, the character has those same meanings, but interestingly the sense of “shelter, protection from ancestors” appears to also be from the Middle Chinese.

[researcherposts-deactivated2023]

Just so people don’t get lost in context when hearing this word, we use “okage” ironically as well other than the definition thinksandthings mentioned above. Similar to how English speakers use the phrase “thanks to…” in irony, we include the word “okage” in statements such as 『お前のおかげで、パーティーが台無しだ。』 which in English would be: “The party is ruined, thanks to you”.

While the hiragana version of “okage” [おかげ] is commonly used with either positive or negative connotations attached to it, the kanji version［御蔭] is used as honorific; solely with positive connotation often seen in business vocabulary as an expression of upmost gratitude and thankfulness.

Now, there’s something that needs to be stressed about the cultural perception of “shadow” in Japan which is also included in the term “okage”. There’re 2 types of shadow or “kage” in Japanese language, one is [影] which is the shadow created as a result of light casted onto an object while the second type that’s included in the kanji for “okage” mentioned previously [陰] which is a word more closely referring to a “dark side” than shadow per se, is a kanji used to describe utter absence of light like the dark side of the moon.

As a visual reference, the first “kage” [影] is the shadow seen in the red circle and the second “kage” [陰] is the one seen inside the blue circle instead.

periodic trends part 1: atomic radius

the periodic table is cool because it organizes all these elements neatly and cohesively - imagine trying to organize 118 of these crazy dudes urself! i would think it’s hard but that is just me…

something particularly cool about the periodic table is that it illuminates trends in how different elements behave! the 3 main trends i want to talk about are… 

atomic radius

ionization energy

electron affinity

first, let’s talk about atomic radius!

atomic radius measures the distance from the centre of an atom to its outermost electron. the general trend for atomic radius is that it grows as you progress down a group (column) and shrinks as you progress across a period (row)

(image source: https://byjus.com/chemistry/atomic-radius-in-periodic-table-in-basic-chemistry/

why is this? :O growth down a group: each time you move down a group, there’s another energy level that electrons are inhabiting. remember that electrons are negatively charged, so they repel each other because of these “like charges”. as a result, each additional energy level is “shielded” from the nucleus by the lower-energy-level electrons. this causes the outer electrons to get progressively further +  the atomic radius to get progressively bigger! here is a diagram that demonstrates the concept for 1st group elements:

shrinking across a period: with each step you take across a period, the number of protons in the nucleus increases by 1. the addition of a proton causes the positive charge of the nucleus to increase, causing its attractive force on electrons to become stronger. here is a diagram showing the trend across the second period:

a question i had when i was learning this: WAIT A SECOND!!! doesn’t moving across a period also increase the number of electrons? how does the nuclear charge increase if electrons are also increasing?

this is because the electrons are being added to the same energy level! electrons in the same energy level normally live far away from each other as possible, so they don’t repel each other very much. the addition of a proton has much more significant implications to the atomic radius!

Korean Parts of Speech

English has 8 parts of speech. Korean has 9. Learning parts of speech is crucial to becoming fluent in Korean. So, Today I’m going to introduce you to all nine parts of speech.

1. Noun 명사 [Myeong-sa]

2. Pronoun 대명사 [Dae-myeong-sa]

3. Numeral, quantity indicator 수사 [su-sa]

4. Verb 동사 [dong-sa]

5. Adjective 형용사 [hyeong-yong-sa]

Adjectives shows the quality or state of something. 

6. Determiner, pre-noun 관형사 [gwan-hyeong-sa]

Determiners are a word used in front of a substantive(nouns, pronouns, and numerals) and modifies it. Compared to other Korean parts of speech, there are only a few determiners.

7. Adverb 부사 [Bu-sa]

While Determiners modify only Substantives*(체언 [cheeon]. nouns, pronouns, and numerals) Adverbs modify everything. They mostly modify verbs and adjectives, but they can modify determiners, adverbs, and even sentences. 

8. ★Post positional particle 조사 [Jo-sa]

*What’s a Post positional article?: Post positional particles are attached behind a noun, pronoun, numeral, and adverbs… They usually stick together with words that are independent. They indicate grammatical relationships or make it more specific in meaning. (particles each have different jobs) Some particles make the word it stuck to a subject (Like -은/는 or 이/가) Or some particles make the word an object (Like  을/를) There are so many particles! It’s very confusing and hard, so study extra hard on Post positional particles.

9. Exclamation, interjection 감탄사 [gam-tan-sa]

These are all nine parts of speech in Korean! To advance to harder grammar, you MUST remember all these nine parts of speech.

I will explain in detail about each part in later grammar lessons! I hope this lesson was helpful😊😊

Since I’m still pretty new to the langblr community, please tell us if we have anything to improve. Thanks!

Hi! I’ve posted before how I learn vocabulary so I decided to make a printable for it. [Updated Version!] Something I included in these is the part of speech as I noticed many people don’t write this down when they learn vocabulary. These are available as a PDF in different colors.

How to use:

You can use it for different languages or just English vocab

The word definition sheets can be tri-folded to test yourself.

You can cover the definition, guess the meaning and vice versa.

You can also use that blank space to write what you think is the answer.

The sentence sheets have space for you to write the sentence you found the word in or find an example of it online.

There are boxes to check the part of speech or add your own if it is not there. 

Here is my post on how I use them.

[yazhmog-deactivated20230713]

I see a lot of langblr recommanding to start a language by learning (after the alphabet and pronounciation) vocab and then, only when you have a sizable vocabulary, learn grammar. I agree with this method except for one detail: learn how the vocabulary works first. For example for German, that will tell you that you need to learn the gender + the plural of nouns (even if you still have no idea how to use any of this), or for Latin that you need to learn the gender + the genitive (even if you do not yet have any idea what it is) for nouns and the 5 forms of the verbs (even if you have no idea what they mean for now).

That will make you learn the vocab more efficiently, teach you how things are laid out in the dictionary and give you a larger basis for grammar (and then you can say “oh, that’s the genitive” or “i already know the three nominative forms of the determinant in German, cool”)
