For any of my fellow English speaking QSMP watchers looking to learn or brush up on their Spanish- I'm no expert, but I've done my time in middle and high school Spanish class, and I have a few website recs:
Word Reference: Spanish-English dictionary. Gives you information about multiple meanings of the word, as well as compound words and idioms. Also has a bunch of other languages (French, Italian, Catalan, German, Dutch, Swedish, Icelandic, Russian, Portuguese, Polish, Romanian, Czech, Greek, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic)
SpanishDict: Another Spanish-English dictionary. I mainly use it for looking up verb conjugations, since IMO its charts are much easier to read than Word Reference's. It also had some other features that you have to make an account to use.
Conjuguemos: Conjugation practice games (with a frog mascot!). It tries to get you to make an account, but you don't have to- just click "use without account". You can sort by tense, mood, and regularity, and there's both straightforward practice and flashcards and more gimmicky games. Also has vocab and grammar practice, and a few other languages (French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, and Latin)

Forgot I was following you, welcome back! I saw in the tags of your bender post post you put vampire academy, did you work on old moroi? What were you inspirations? I know in the books it should have been either Russian or Romanian but they decided to go a different route for the culture
I am soooooooo glad you asked!
First, to give some background, I was asked to contribute a language to Vampire Academy by Y. Shireen Razack, whom you might know as a writer on David Schulner's hit medical drama New Amsterdam (note: David Schulner was the show runner of NBC's Emerald City, for which I created two languages!), but whose husband, Anupam Nigam, you may have heard of, because he was a writer on Syfy's Defiance—the show I poured my heart and soul into. Shireen said they were doing a show for the Peacock, and I'm always there for my Defiance family.
This time I had a partner, and so Jessie Sams and I worked to create the Old Moroi language (Aazh Naamori, in the language itself). There was very little to work with from the books, so we basically created as an a priori language that was situated physically in Eastern Europe, meaning that it could borrow from the surrounding languages, and also the languages that those languages borrowed from. There are a number of borrowings from Russian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Latin, Greek, and a few others. We gave them the option of doing a true a posteriori language that would've been a kind of Slavic creole or an original language, and production opted for the original language.
We had to rush a bit, because even though they didn't need the spoken language for a few months when we started working, the art department needed stuff for the written language in like two weeks, so we had to hit the ground running. Ultimately, our goal was to create a super sexy vampire language for a super sexy vampire show, and I personally think we were spot on.
Here's a kind of bullet point list of language features:
Oral and nasal vowels; oral vowels can be long.
Lots of fricatives; very few codas.
SOV word order with a tidy case system. Auxiliaries instead of mass conjugations.
I think the writing system we did is pretty great. Here's what it looks like (nabbing this from my Instagram):
We did a whole ten post thing on Instagram you can see here. Here's an example of the language:
Santazhonga se dulon nari oshi.
"May the Saints guide her home."
You can see "saint" is clearly a borrowing, but then there's other original stuff in there (se is a vocative particle; dulon is "home" in the dative). I think it's a super fun language. It didn't get used a whole lot in the show—or at least not the spoken version—but the written version was everywhere, and it was awesome. (Like, even the mark etched into Mia's hands when she's being punished is the for "water" in our script!) We hope this show runs for a good long time. We love it. I mean...
...how could you not love this show?!
Anyway, as I reminder, I put up all the dialogue from every show and movie I work on on my Ao3 which you can find here. That includes Vampire Academy.
Thanks for the q! Love to advertise this show. Everyone should watch it a million times. Leave it running on your TV on an endless loop while you travel for Thanksgiving. We need a million seasons.

hey romanian speakers do either of these make sense? trying to alter tenses/conjugations from a blaga poem to make it past & plural and all the translators i'm using say these are both fine but i don't feel great about either

Would you say that for you as an Italian that it's easy to understand other romance languages? Which ones are easier to get? Is there one that reading is easier to get than listening (or the opposite)? Do they sound weird/ugly/beautiful in your opinion? Do you think you could hold a conversation with someone where you speak Italian and they speak another romance language?
Ciao!
I think the level of understanding depends on the specific Region/area an Italian is born in and on the "ear" a person has in relation to other languages. It's difficult to speak for everyone. Seen that you're asking me, I'm gonna share my personal experience but having studied some of those languages, I probably cannot be a good source for your curiosity (from what I get, you'd like to know as if I hadn't). :)
I have been born in an area in which both Spanish and French have been in control of, so the dialect (not just the Regional language, but my specific hometown version) has influences of both languages, French in particular.
My ear has been pretty used to French sounds since when I was born (this dialect is spoken in my family), + my mother studied French (she translated me stuff at times) and I studied French as well in school (middle school) for 3 years. Ofc now I still understand French pretty well (even after having not practiced it for... years, ages prob.): I might not have all the vocabs I would like to have in my mind, I might have forgotten even some grammar rules (which prob makes it a bit more complicated for me to speak correctly), but the basics are still with me and I could survive especially by speaking it (I might wonder at least about accents for some written words, e.g.).
Now Spanish. Friends, don't hate me but Spanish is somewhat similar to Italian: we often say "you only need to add an s at the end of each word" jokingly (ofc that's not true, but it's true that we share some words and... something else too). I have been studying Spanish on my own for a while in the past and I admit, despite never having paid attention to verbs' conjugations, I still could manage to write with some online friends and basically make little to no mistake... I followed "the sound". When it comes to spoken Spanish, I still get basically everything, despite again I haven't really been practicing too much recently and I might have forgotten some vocabs. At first it only required me to practice listening a lot and form a good vocabulary through interviews and other stuff, and then I simply tried writing (and speaking a bit). Btw as mentioned in the past, my ear is a little more used to South American Spanish, but I get Spain's as well. Ofc I am referring only to "standard" Spanish here, if that is a thing: if you wanted to talk with me in e.g. Catalàn, I might get something but probably be less accurate (Idk, we can try).
Same thing goes for French ofc! I meant only "standard" French, no Regional: listening to the ESC last year for example, I really couldn't get the song's lyrics too in detail (or maybe at all lol).
As for Portuguese, again I have studied it a little: at first I only could get a few words and understand some others from sentence's general meaning (spoken Portuguese was a little more intricate despite almost sounds as a couple of our Regional languages mixed together -jk), but then after understanding the sound, I started getting a little more also in the spoken language. I don't have a huge vocabulary so I'm still pretty behind when it comes to understanding, writing and speaking it (speaking always comes a little bit more difficult to me: I need to have a good amount of vocabs to start). I mean in both in Brazilian's and Portugal's ones (focused a little more on Brazilian's tbh). But I still can get something here and there, if people speak more slowly.
When it comes to Romanian, I can understand some words in their written form; not sure as for the spoken one cause I have never had the chance to try speaking/listening to it (at least paying attention to it) despite my interactions with some Romanians.
Going back to Regional languages, even just Italians' are way too different in how they're formed... I cannot get everything people say, especially when they speak fast. And especially when it comes to Regional languages that are far from the one/s I have been in contact with the most, like those from the center/south or in the north-east, or that use different languages influences (Ladino, Patois... e.g. in Patois I understand counting as it's basically in French). It depends on what they say, if I have already heard that or not. If I know the word's meaning or not (or if I can at least guess it from the rest of the sentence: but many times it's hard even to do so).
Now, I know there are other Romance languages I haven't mentioned but understanding them, for me, depends on the sounds, my vocabulary knowledge, how the sentence is buildt and if I can relate them somehow to Latin (which I studied as well for 5.5 years in school so maybe it helps me too)?
To me, every language sounds beautiful honestly, exactly because it has its own sounds and rules that make it different from another.
And not just Romance ones.
As for holding a convo with someone speaking another language (supposing that I don't know it, not even by chance)... Idk, probably only a basic convo? I guess I might end up using gestures or sth to help the communication at a certain point. The only way to know is to try, any volunteer? :)
Did I answered everything? I hope so!
I forgot: in general you read at your own pace so prob reading is easier than listening to a native who speaks fast, no matter the language, especially in the beginning. But it's of help in keep practicing listening in order to get to their level.

the tongue thing has me thinking of Chris and Seb arguing over who gives better head and having to settle it with a ~*contest*~ 🥵🥵🥵
Excuuuuuuse me 🥵 Thank you for that mental image! Jesus Christ, imagine it? Chris with his wide, agile tongue, and Sebastian with his snake tongue, ugh 😩 My mind is taking this and running headfirst into all kinds of getting together scenarios with it (PLEASE, someone write it) but I also quite like the idea of established relationship Evanstan arguing about this, lol. At first my brain was like 'but how can they do an objective contest if it's just the two of them?' But obviously there's a clear solution: they just set a timer to see who can make whom come first 😌 And you bet they'd try their hardest to think of baseball stats and Romanian grammatical conjugation respectively, but there's only so long they can keep it up before hitting their breaking point...
Personally, my money is still on Seb emerging victorious. And there's absolutely no shame in that for Chris btw - he's still spectacular, it's just that I think Sebastian's mouth is in a league of its own

WAIT I JUST TRANSLATED THE ITALIAN SCHOOL CIRRICULUM THING AND LATIM IS A LANGUAGE THINGY??????? I THOUGHT THAT IT WASN'T A FULL ON CLASS?? DOES ANYONE STILL SPEAK LATIN??? WTF????? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??? MY LIFE IS A LIE???
So Latin at school. Yay.
Basically you're not learning it in the same way you'd any modern language. It's a language that was in use for thousands of years so of course it changed a lot during this time span. That's why it's separated in at least three categories - classical Latin (used in late Roman Republic and early Roman Empire), ecclesiastical Latin (used by medieval Church) and Vulgar Latin (unofficial Latin used from the Late Roman Republic onward) this one is the origins story of all Romance languages.
Yep. All those fancy, sexy languages that people find hot like Italian or French are based on what I can only explain as Latin Cockney:
youtube
Just imagine Dave is Latin language and Daveo is Italian/French/Spanish/Portuguese/Romanian language.
It kind of looks like a medieval language class tbh. You don't learn how to introduce yourself or how to describe your family tree, because:
1. It's a dead language so it doesn't serve the purpose of communication anymore like foreign language does.
2. Latin is still used in science and it's a language which influenced Western identity the most. In order to truly understand the Western culture you need Latin (and ancient Greek but Latin is a bare minimum.)
You learn words and their conjugations (because in Latin unlike in English each person has it's own verb variant) and translate old texts. Conjugation may be affected by person, number, gender, tense, mood, aspect, voice, or other language-specific factors.
The purpose of having Latin is to better understand how modern European languages function. It's a blueprint for Romance languages like: Italian, French, Spanish, Portugese and Romanian (those are the big ones but not the only existing Romance languages.) Latin had an influence on the other language families too, and you'll have hard time finding European languages that don't have any Latin influence ( I'm looking at you the Finno-Ugric gang - Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian.) English was influenced by Latin too, that's why for example when you see this majestic beast:
You'd call it a Germanic word "a cow" but when it's turned into this:
It's called beef, from Old French boef (modern French bœuf) -> Latin bōs.
The poorer Germanic language people were keeping cows but the rich French Norman (Latin based language) speakers ate them.
Knowing Latin, even basic knowledge, is very helpful if you want to learn an European language. The logic behind the language (like existence of plural forms, significant portion of the vocabulary ect) is more often than not Latin based.
For many countries (in Europe but not only) Latin is also the language of religion. Yes, Catholic church still uses Latin from time to time, and to pass religion class in grade 8 (I think) I had to memorize Lord's Prayer aka Pater Noster (it's the Catholic beliefs in a nutshell and how Jesus taught the prayer should look like) in Latin. Latin is also an official language of the Vatican City, and was in fact one of the reasons why reformation happened, but I'm getting off track.
Latin is also useful in philosophy. Though many of the ancient European philosophers were Greek, there were a few Romans too. As you might noticed, in translation parts of text loose their meaning, and the words don't have an impact of the original version. Same thing with philosophy. To fully understand and embrace the meaning you need to know the original language aka Latin.
To summ it up! Latin is still sometimes taught in schools because:
1. it's a blueprint for the majority of modern European languages (and in the EU you should speak at least two) so if you know basic Latin it's easier to learn other languages.
2. It's the language of science and ancient philosophy. To truly understand what thought process created the West you need to know how Latin functioned and what texts written in it actually mean.
3. It's a language of the Catholic Church - the largest nomination in the Christian religion. Approximately 1.3 billion people in the world are Catholics - that's 17.7% of the world's population.
4. It's the common heritage of the Western world locked in the language form. People learn it to learn about their heritage and culture. What influenced people through thousands of years to form the Western cultures and history? Why certain thoughts and ideas (like for example individualism instead of collectivism, démocraties instead of authoritarianism) were embraced in the West? Language affects the way people think, so how Latin influenced Western values?
I hope I explained it at least a little bit 😅. I'm sorry if it all sounds more confusing now.

Mel, my beloved!! I'm sorry you're sick. That really sucks. I hope you feel better soon, and sorry I've been away. I'm sending you hugs, a kiss on both cheeks, and all of the good vibes! Love you!! Please use this ask as an opportunity to rant or ramble about anything! I want to know whatever you want to tell me about life, languages, rockstars, or anything else 👀😘💕
Thank you Ashley!! I missed you, but please don't apologize for being away, I hope you had fun whatever you've been doing!! Love you too!! 😘💕
Aww okay you signed up for this so... I finished all my written exams! And I have an average of 1.08 on all subjects over the course of the year (which is really good because the closer you are to 1.00, the better)! The oral exams for English business conversation/US and UK politics & culture, liaison interpreting, economics and French business conversation are in early July and I hope I won't fail the economics exam lol
Also, I'm planning to send a letter to my high school next week and offer to give extra lessons in English and maybe French for next year on the days when I don't have university classes (which I have to apply for in August)
Languages uhh... I started a Romanian course on Duolingo yesterday! I can't say how difficult it is yet because I'm only at level 3, but to me it's similar to Italian in some ways. I think my main problem will be the pronunciation and maybe the conjugation of the verbs (idk Duolingo doesn't explain the grammar so I'll look into that somewhere else)

In Romanian, they hardly ever use pronouns because the conjugations are so specific and make it really obvious which pronoun would be there, so they just drop it because n-au chef 🤷🇷🇴
In Japanese, as far as I can tell, they hardly ever use pronouns because just who cares? There are no clues to go on. They're just going about saying stuff like "where going?" and leaving it at that. And somehow the whole country isn't in a state of constant confusion like a comedy sketch.
I love languages.

National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day Pastrami was originally created as a way to preserve meat before modern refrigeration. Pastrami was first served in New York City in the late 1800s by Lithuanian Immigrant Sussman Volk, who was given the recipe by his Romanian friend in repayment of a favor. As the story goes, pastrami became so popular that Volk opened a deli at 88 Delancey Street where he served the meat on rye bread. The name pastrami comes from Romanian pastramă, a conjugation of the Romanian verb a păstra meaning "to preserve food, to keep something for a long duration" whose etymology may be linked to the Turkish pastırma, possibly from Turkish: bastırma.. It is sometimes claimed that the name pastirma comes from Greek παστρον "dried meat.” #NationalHotPastramiSandwichDay #HotPastramiSandwich #Food #FoodSolutions #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales (at Germantown, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZrBcggvn5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Romanian Verbs 1: Short Introduction
Because verbs are as complicated as plural nouns sometimes, I want to take things slowly here, and get into it as time goes on. First, I want to tell you about the types of verbs there are in Romanian
There are 4 types of verbs in Romanian, and you can tell them apart similarly like how you can do it in French - you take the infinitive of the verb (aka dictionary form) and look at the verb’s ending. That will tell you about what type that verb belongs to, and if you don’t know how to conjugate it, you will be able to guess with some accuracy how to conjugate it, based on other verbs from the same conjugation.
Type 1 consists of verbs ending in -a (for example, a cânta, a dansa, a pleca, a mânca)
Type 2 consists of verbs ending in -ea (for example, a bea, a putea, a vedea, a părea)
Type 3 consists of verbs ending in -e (for example, a plânge, a râde, a merge, a umple)
Type 4 consists of verbs ending in -i or -î (for example, a iubi, a trăi, a urî, a omorî)
For now, this is all I will leave you with, so you may get famiiar with the system, and next time I will try to go through the basics of present tense conjugation for the indicative mood. If you have any questions, things that are not clear or suggestions, by all means, ask and suggest away. I am always open to feedback. Otherwise, see you next time!

rottedremina ответил(a) на ваш пост “Vampires are just a socially acceptable form of vore”
This counts as vampire bullying
not my fault they chose bats as a fursona
#rottedremina#i'm also learning romanian and learned that a conjugation for the 'attractive' adjective is#'atrăgătoare'#and my mind conjured it to 'atragántate con este taco de ojo'
