Thanks for sharing. Another important and informative video. Some points to consider of: I will never be enough grateful to all of those scientists an...

I am glad that you are enjoying Murakami's wind-up chronicle :up: Yes, it is beautifully written, and it shows the skills of the novelist in developin...

I understand. Yet, this is where I disagree or at least I am against it. We can’t allow changes in a language if they are “back-peddling” and destroys...

This point is interesting, and yes, some governments have ruled on linguistics. France is indeed a good example. But, if I am not mistaken, the compet...

OK, thanks a lot. I get it now. To be honest, for me, it is the main cause of irregular forms. Otherwise, they just complicate the process of learning...

I agree. OK, this exploded my mind. I always used the past participle in the past perfect. So yes, when I want to say in English "he venido a casa" (I...

First of all, it is important to highlight the fact that I am not taking part in the critique of Pinker on the usefulness or uselessness of irregular ...

It is clear to me where irregular verbs in English come from. What is twisted (in my honest opinion) is the conjugation. As Pinker noticed in his book...

This point is interesting because Steven Pinker also provides some lines about it. Pinker states that the very obliviousness to the details of the ver...

Thank you Ludwig for your answer. I agree in this point. You even have read my mind because I was about to post some lines related to how these rules ...

@"BC" This map is accurate. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/2023_Spanish_general_election_map.svg Despite the fact that it is colo...

I think it will not be necessary. It seems that Pedro Sanchez will repeat the same government, he even admitted that his team is negotiating with the ...

It is interesting that the Spanish general election was yesterday, but nobody cares in TPF. Great :grin:

Don't you feel anxiety when you have limited time to do whatever or take any decision?

God's Pauper: Saint Francis of Assisi, Nikos Kazantzakis. Letters to the Time/Space of Fond Memories, Kenzaburo Oe.

This would be unfair.

A difficult question to answer because my selection is personal and maybe some would disagree with me. I have read 14 books by Murakami and I consider...

A masterpiece! you will love it.

Exactly. What I always find a summer vibe is the thunderous song of cicadas. :lol: When you used "tori utau" in your haiku, it seemed that you were re...

Fantastic and beautiful haiku. Glad to see that someone around here respects this art. It is true that "birds sing" can be related to spring vibes, bu...

I am aware that you are the Buffon of TPF and one of the coolest members of this site, but I am going to tell you something: you are not funny. Maybe ...

Well, I think that the translation into English could be pointless, but not the substance or the amazement. At least, this is the main point of haiku....

Benkei, Haiku has not to rhyme in the verses. The main objective of each haiku is to show the astonishment of the poet when he is observing the nature...

Excellent! :up: Thank you for answering my question.

Hello @"Caldwell" Are haiku or zappai poems allowed? or this contest only focuses in Western poetic style? Regards, :smile:

Barbate, Cádiz... When I read the headline that's the location I thought about. Fantastic and gorgeous port city. The Japanese companies pay a lot of ...

@"Noble Dust" I remember you showed me "nobody here" vaporwave song around the last year. It makes me feel nostalgia while I am alone in my home liste...

I just came from Mercadona. I saw in the breads section a new type, "Cruapan": Croissant + bread in the same slice. It smells really nice and let's gi...

Thanks friend! To be honest, I enjoy learning these things. I appreciate your commitment to help me out to learn and discover facts about your languag...

I going to give it a try and pronounce both consonants and vowels: Gjergj: I guess it is similar to "George" and the J is silent, but the last gj is c...

I agree. Western world cannot get rid of dualism and other metaphysical stuff... I think it is a shame because the world is not only centralised here....

Yeah, I agree. Asian philosophy - specifically regarding to zen or ethics - is impressive and it is pretty developed. What I do not understand is why ...

I agree. The different cultures and languages of this world are that varied that is nearly impossible, or at least very difficult, to have a deep look...

Interesting! I think I am saying "interesting" a lot when I interact with you by the way! :lol:

So, you pronounce each vowel or consonant in the words, right? The phonology in Albanian seems to be interesting, indeed! I see. :up: Exactly. I have ...

Thank you for your response! I understand. I guess dialects are a curious topic in most countries of the world. We have the same debate in Spain. For ...

Hello again, :smile: I have read interesting data regarding to our conversation that we had two days ago. The paper is about a brief review on Greek l...

That thread is a treasure. It was the first time I saw it, and it has been worthy to read. I thought in Theodora, the Byzantine empress when I looked ...

My mood of this morning. It has passed a while since the last time I have heard this iconic song for melancholics. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1...

I like it, good song and bass!

I received a letter from the Ministry of Inclusion and Social Security and it says: Dear Javier, we have checked in our data base that you are already...

:rofl: :up: I can assume that you could understand me if you listen me speaking!

Did French came out in place of Spanish because of words or sounds? What an interesting thought indeed. As a Spaniard, I consider French a complex and...

Thank you for helping me to understand them and how to pronounce it. Another thing that I learned today! Yes, I agree. Regarding Chinese dialects we h...

I understand. It is challenging because it has both unfamiliar words and grammar. I think rather than one's native language is one's consciousness of ...

I mean: Albanian seems to do not have big issues in phonology because the sounds correspond with the words, vowels and consonants. But, is your langua...

I agree with you, Frank. Learning from mimicking sounds when we are children is important because it helps us to learn one of the most difficult thing...

Interesting! But, do you have any issue or struggle related to grammar or syntax? It seems that spelling is not so important in Albanian, but what abo...

Baden, thank you for your answer. I am aware that you have knowledge of linguistics, so I appreciate your opinion. I like what you posted: "it is know...

Interesting experience. To be honest, I am jealous of your self confidence and that's very important to learn whatever. You didn't care about giving a...
