"I'm using local sustainable llms only" yeah I'm sure lmao

it's kinda funny how there's basically the racist chinese restaurant font but for tibetan and for hanzi instead of latin

I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄

the singular of data scientists is a datum scientist

There is a Hot Wheels car named DRIFTSTA which I find about as bad as Oegstgeest
hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Driftsta

which I don't know how it became French but folketymologizing things isn't a science I think

Think that my friend was trying to tease me w/ the clusters and did the [χstχ] but from my experience it's either oe[χsχ]eest or oe[s(t)χ]eest yeah

The second pronunciation made me think that I folketymologized it as sth like "ghost of the west" or sth

Actually there are some Dutch things where I can't fathom as clusters, and I think the orthography is trolling me, like thuis and 's-Hertogenbosch.

is the /ɦ/ ever pronounced in these clusters?

Oegstgeest [uχstχeɪst]
and I wonder how Flemish people would pronounce that

Who decided that [χstχ] was a valid Dutch cluster

I found what I was referring to here:

Every day I keep becoming more self aware of Spoken Indonesian syntax.

"adanya di aku cuma yang ke-2"

have been dizzy

Carcinisation, beloveds.

nauseous

I'm still trying to process why there's a [ʃm-] in smorgasbord.

finally.

You who bark when the gloomy shades of evening fall, Who gulp the sour ayran as it is poured, Who terrify the night-prowling thieves, Putting them to flight with your uproar, Have you news of my encampment? Tell me, And so long as my dark head is in life and health I shall treat you kindly, dog.

then you can have [ịʰ] :^)

since both bus/halte are loaned but neither was n/ tafel are loaned on their own.

Okay but consider how tones would suck with that ị́ is an affr-

oh nevermind I actually like that wtf

Also one fun thing about Indonesian loans is that they sometimes don't abide by headedness, like bushalte, poskantor, wastafel.

But it seems like when the compounds have separable elements in other places people just nativize them bc "halte bus" exists but not "tafel was"

oh wait no "se-how"

I'm a bit stupid

You can say "segimana mungkin" (lit. se-why possible) as in "even to the best effort" e.g. "segimana mungkin dia coba, dia gak bisa berhasil" (even to his best effort of trying, he can't succeed)

Oh there's a funny thing in Indonesian where we calqued "zo snel/zo veel mogelijk" as "secepat/sebanyak mungkin" and that triggered weird grammaticalization of "se-X mungkin" like "as X as possible"

Unlike Dutch it's weird how verbs can also be put into the frame. WH- words are also allowed, as in—

Oh nevermind my proposed solution was to write everything in Andika

I can't believe my timeline

Can't you central-chadize it and write it as some sort of prosody marking like [lmɐ̌drasa (smallcaps 3ayn)]

Is there a way in IPA to denote pharyngealization of an entire word? [lˤmˤɐ̆dˤɾˤɑˤsˤɑˤ] for lmedṛasa looks quite silly
