hi! first of all thank you for all your translations and your posts in general it truly feeds the brainworms so very well!!!

i was wondering about how people often talk about "jere from vantaa", what kind of place is vantaa?

also how hard is it to learn suomi because honestly i've kinda fallen for the language heh

Thanks!! 💚

So, Vantaa is a city that's part of the greater Helsinki region (Helsinki is our capital city). I think people that are from Vantaa often think of the as more simple and don't like getting grouped into other Helsinkians (people from Helsinki??? What are they called??). He likes to think he is just an ordinary small-city fellow, not a superstar by any means, and likes to stick to his roots and not make a big deal out of himself.

Vantaa is still an insanely big city, in Finland at least, 243 000 people is A LOT in here 😂 It's a culturally significant place with lots of museums, old churches and architecture, musical festivals, a big-ass science centre... It's now sort of fused in with the rest of the Helsinki metropolitan area, but still has a long and rich history on its own. I'm not a Vantaa expert, wikipedia probably has a way better (and more accurate) answer to that 😂

And what comes to the Finnish language... Well... It's one of the hardest languages to learn in the entire world 😅😅 It has insane grammar, crazy-long words, difficult pronunciation and worst of all, umlauts like å, ä and ö. You really have to have a burning passion for learning it, I won't lie.

The amount of grammatical cases is absolutely bonkers (14, or 15 if you count in accusative) and the rules sometimes contradict each other 😍😍 It really is a horrible language to learn, I'm so happy I'm a native so I don't have to think about it 😂 Also, there are two ways we can speak it, the literary version that is used in more official situations and then the spoken way, which is a sort of a dialect and can sound a bit different. And on top of that, there are even more dialects and regional shit HONESTLY I could talk about how bad it is for days 😂😂

Here's an iconic example of how easy our language is 💚🇫🇮

little moshang fan kid <3

spoiled, aloof, a bit of a bitch, terminally 'weak constitution'-ed, lowkey lazy, prefers reading his dailies in the office and pretending to do paperwork to fighting

#Trektober Day 9, "Dress Uniform". Julian's missing his dress uniform in 'Move Along Home', but since the one we eventually see him in is pretty unflattering I choose to believe that Garak did a night visit months before 'Cardassians' and got too distracted to actually wake him up.

[ID: Several drawings of egg Sullivan that look like sticker emotes with a purple gradient background that has bats, demon tails, and random shapes as a pattern. In top left, he's dejected and lying on the floor and hugging his legs. He's crying. His tears form a small puddle. Sopping wet egg. Above him is "Sob Sob" but wiggly. At top right, He is giving a thumbs up and there's two sparkles next to him. He's saying "Good Job!". In the middle, he is in a joyful prancing pose with his arms stretched out, surrounded by flowers. "Yay!" he says. On the bottom left, he is in shock. His face is dark, his glasses are cracked, and it looks like he is struck by purple lightning with a "DOOM!" at the bottom. At the bottom right, he is on his tippy toes on one leg. He is leaning over and showing heart hands. Some hearts surround him. End ID]

Would you like an egg(ie grandpa) in these trying times?

can we please stop telling people to kill themselves and to rot in hell and that they deserve to be bullied and that they are inherently horrible people who deserve to die and get doxxed. please. can we please stop doing that.

middle of the night thought: what are language patterns going to be like in 200 years? they were so different in the 1820s. what's 2223 gonna be like? WHAT WILL KIRK AND BONES SOUND LIKE?!

Polin Week: Day Three

Time Travel AU

Colin wished he knew why he keeps jumping from time line to time line or why every time he thinks he found his time line, he jumps to different time and a different version of him. The only constant is Penelope.

Penelope is always there. She was there when he almost married her cousin and broke her heart during the regency era. She was there enjoying her vacation when he was a travel blogger. She was there when they were both actors who worked together for a project but kinda hated each other. She was also there when he was a spy (but not 007) trying to sabotage his mission while trying to seduce him and insisting on being called Lady Whisteldown. She was there when they pretend to date each other so their families would stop setting them up with other people.

But every time Colin realizes that he loves her - that he loves PENELOPE - he travels through time and time line again only to meet and lose Penelope again and again and again.

(random) ngl before i started learning korean i felt like the worst failure of a korean but now i feel like the best failure of a korean (/j) HAHA

boyfriends who dose together, stay together <3

Long story short I dislike most modern retellings because they seem to be focused on "fixing" the ancient stories and breaking them to fit into their own moral box which is insanely self centered to me and hardly ever actually engages with the stories as they are

so the mechs totally speak a pidgin language of all their native languages right. we can agree on this right. their accents are a horrific mashup of all their original ones too, to the point where every single word they say sounds heavily accented to a native speaker of the language that word came from, even if its the mech that was originally a native speaker of that language. does this make sense at all?? they're just a linguistic mess i think they deserve it
