Finnish language
Verb naida
1. (transitive, + genitive-accusative) to marry
Nain eilen Annan.
I married Anna yesterday.
2. (transitive, vulgar, + partitive) to have sex with somebody, copulate with somebody, fuck
Nain eilen Annaa.
I fucked Anna yesterday.
As seen above, the meaning of the verb depends on the case of its object. It is very important that the case be used correctly to avoid misunderstanding. The danger of confusion is imminent when there is no object at all. An example of a sentence where naida would be a very unfortunate choice would be 
Milloin aiotte naida? 
when the intention is to ask:
Milloin aiotte mennÀ naimisiin?
When are you planning to marry?

I also run a Welsh LGBTQ+ discord, dm for a link!

Bonjour Ă  tous! I want to recommend a great podcast and YouTube channel for those who are learning French!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
InnerFrench (by Hugo) is great! He talks only in french, but he is very easy to understand! I’ve not actively studied French in over a year, and even then I was only A2/B1 level, but I can understand most of what he says! If there is an unusual term, he will explain it (as seen in the photo).
He does videos on actual grammar etc but he also has a lot of videos about French culture, movies etc. So they are still interesting videos but all in French!
He also has an online course worth checking out as well!

Un homme coupĂ© de son histoire, de son passĂ©, de sa mĂ©moire, sĂ©parĂ© de ces lieux signifiants que sont les lieux oĂč l’on est nĂ©, oĂč l’on a grandi et vĂ©cu, un tel homme marche d’un pas bien peu assurĂ© en cette vie.
**A man cut off from his history, his past, his memory, separated from these significant places that are the places where one was born, where one grew up and lived, such a man walks with a not very sure step in this life.

Still a Sentence.
Sometimes, Russian sentences may have neither subject nor verb, but they still are legit sentences! 
Чаю бы сДĐčчас! - literally: Some tea (would) now! I would have some tea now! I really want some tea, but I suspect it is a difficult task for now, hardly doable. This is how one can express a wish and also say that “I really appreciate all the efforts you are going to take to satisfy it”. Quite a polite, yet not overly formal way to ask for something.
ĐĐ” ĐŽĐŸ Ń‚Đ”Đ±Ń сДĐčчас. - “I have no time for you now, there are many other problems I have to handle now.” ĐĐ” ĐŽĐŸ + Genitive - is a structure for “I don’t want to do that now” or “I don’t think that it is appropriate to do that now”. ĐĐ” ĐŽĐŸ ŃĐŒĐ”Ń…Đ°! - It is not a good time to laugh, (laughter would be inappropriate), take it seriously and appreciate the scale of the problems! 
It was your random grammar lesson.
