Seens that the genitive postposition marker afeter the noun of color is used to connect to the auxilliary verb establishing composed times itself.
>उसकी आँख नीले रंग की है
Here, it indicates the colour, exactly, and there are two different postpositions indicating genitive case, one goes at the oblique, demonstrative-possesive distal pronoun, non-datative, other after the colour noun, most likely to be the grammatical subject since the pronoun is oblique

It'd take forever to sentence mine and manually make cards for each word. You gotta use the tools that are out there. For Japanese I'm using the browser extension yomitan. Every time I come across a new word while inputting I just highlight it, then a little window pops up that lets me add the card straight to anki. It takes like half a second to add a card. You can use Yomitan with other languages too.
Use https://reader.ttsu.app to upload epubs so you can use yomitan on your ebooks.
Memento (https://github.com/ripose-jp/Memento) is the same concept for videos and lets you hover over subtitles to add words.
It all a little overwhelming to set up, but there's tons of tutorials online. It's worth it because it saves you a ton of time in the long run.

Can someone recommend some good materials for starting to learn Brazilian Portuguese?

>>214426669
I normally start off with the colloquial books. I'm pretty sure there is one for Brazilian Portuguese.

Generally I do:
Colloquial series for Lang + Vocab through SRS
Then I move onto consuming books and media (discovery kids type shit and then I move onto normal documentaries. Stuff like how it works is cool if you can find it in your TL)

I'm just interested in it and I like it. I like how it sounds too.
I like the other Germanic languages too but they don't have enough content. Most content is hochdeutsch so dialects aren't a major issue.
Also I might live in one of the DACH countries some day. Not for work, I just like the mountains and forests and nature there.
Also German is common to encounter so there's a lot of random opportunities to use it.

I'm a toilless freak so here's your explanation:
China's modern mass media cultural products (i.e. films, music, video games) are mostly poor imitations of Japan or the west. There are exceptions, but not many. In contrast, Chinese traditional culture, philosophy, literature, etc is very developed and refined. However, you do not "consume" these forms of culture, you study and maybe appreciate them. When these are integrated with mass media (i.e. Nezha 2) they can make better cultural products.

Japan's modern mass media is clearly innovative and influential, and is popular around the world. However, Japanese philosophy, literature, and traditional culture is mostly a poor imitation of China's. I took classes on Japanese literature and they only teach you about stuff like the tale of Genji and women's diaries because EVERYTHING else being written in old Japan was just an emulation of Classical Chinese writing. Japanese philosophy, religion (apart from artificial state shinto BS), and literature all comes from China and is generally of less scholarly value and can be better understood by just reading the Chinese works that inspired them/they copied.

Therefore, Chinese culture does not befit "consuming" via mass media, and is more deserving of serious study to appreciate it
Japanese culture is inferior in these aspects, and is more befitting of consuming via mass media

Once again, I am looking for a language to learn on my own and spend $0 on it. Normally, I would choose Japanese, but my main focus rn is to master English, so I don't want to get involved in a language as difficult as Japanese (and anyway, by the time I reach a high level in it, I won't care if I'm 44 instead of 41) and because my indecisiveness makes it difficult for me to learn languages, I also get more involved in other hobbies
I am considering French, followed by an easy Germanic language such as Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish, or German, and an easy Romance language such as Spanish or Italian (although I have heard that Italian is not that easy)
>Choose what you like!
It's not that easy. I like them all, I don't have time, and I have compulsive fascinations with various things until I burn out and don't want to see these things for a while. You won't learn the language that way!
Besides, Lute (text + audiobook) seems to work great. Thanks to this program I also realized how poorly I know English, which is a bit depressing

I am very much a dabbler and commit infidelity with my languages, so I understand the struggle.
You have to just full send commit to one for a while, then maintain it when you full send commit to a new one if that's what you want to do.
It's slower than continued progress in a singular, but generally you can get multiple up to a high level doing this. Worked for me anyway.
If you struggle to pick which one to commit to, just pick one at random lol.

As a boy I stood never otherwise than erect, never otherwise than upright, piercing blue eyes flashing in the midst of the creeping Spanish-teaching rabble of the American education system, and my remarks fell like lash after lash of the whip: "This is pointless. There's no reason to learn this. I don't care about Spanish. I don't care about Mexico."

>>214428671
It's not about that
Most of them can speak English here anyway

Another advantage of the Lute and reading books in general is that when I am not consuming current political drizzle*, but focusing on adventure novels and fantasy books, I have grown to like** Anglo-Saxon culture again.
*Is that understandable? I don't know if I heard it somewhere or if I just made it up.

I gave up on that idea. I know it simply won't work and I'll probably only master one or two languages besides English. That makes my choice even harder. I know Byron knew Italian, and Poe knew French, German and Italian. That's something. I care more about speaking than writing and reading, but the knowledge that the authors I like knew certain languages and that these languages influenced them convinces me to learn these languages a bit

I started using the language reactor plugin for youtube, specifically for german videos. it works well if the speaker has a very precise voice, like a professional narrator or AI. it's much more inaccurate rendering casual conversation. it also generally has trouble with the translation of the personal pronouns that depend on context for meaning like sie.

For "drizzle," I think you might have had in mind "drivel." A very nice word.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/drivel

If you're asking about "I've grown to like," that sounds perfectly natural. The only thing is it implies that you disliked Anglo-Saxon culture for a time, which might not be what you meant.

>>214430855
>>214431734
These are the closest in terms of the nuance of its usage, but to put it more precisely, veracity is a matter of fact while verisimilitude is a matter of narrative/fact. For example, historians use the term verisimilitude more to refer to the trustworthiness of a document specifically in terms of its narrative or characterization of events, rather than the veracity of the specific factual claims made within.

Why is Chinese cinema so shit? Taiwan produces some good stuff but hte mainland really doesn't compete

>>214439769
I think it comes down to not wanting to piss off the party now or in the future. Much easier to play it safe in the present.

>>214440012
Maybe. I'm not even learning Chinese though I've been considering it and thought maybe the quality of their cinema would convince me. Hong Kong and Taiwan produce some brilliant stuff, the mainlaind occasionally makes a half decent historical film and that's about it.

>>214439769
>Chinese film industry was used as a propaganda tool from the early days, making anti-Japanese films for the war. Outside of big cities there were no commercial cinemas, everything was government/party-run screenings. This made Chinese people associate film with politics and not really get interested in it
>until the mid 70s all film production was 100% controlled by the party
>after this, filmmakers were allowed independence but in reality still relied on government funds to make their films - so they were censored and usually had a pretty strong political message
>brain drain of good actors, directors etc to Hong Kong and abroad
>directors realise in the 90s that the foreign film festival circuit can get them way more money than domestic releases, so they start filming stuff with the "evil communist poverty" porn dialled up to 11
>mass import of western and Japanese films in the 90s also makes the domestic market unfavourable
>domestic filmmakers focus on the genres that western films can't compete with them in (Wuxia, historical films, PLA war porn, animation)
>the few Chinese films that try to compete with hollywood get panned in China for being shit (until recently, 《好东西》was quite good, and it's a rom-com)
>Chinese filmmakers have either fully quit the domestic industry and now only make film festival exploitation porn, or they stayed in China and became party dicksuckers
tldr: China's film industry never developed like those in HK and Taiwan, and now it's painted itself into a corner of just making wuxia slop

>>214440012
it's mostly commercial reasons, China's underdeveloped film industry can't compete with hollywood or the west in general. Chinese people love hollywood films and actually prefer having subtitles on.

Difference is that you can save words and export to Anki. When you add new texts, it marks the words you already know and you can hover over them to see the definition you saved. It saves you a bit of time with (repeated) lookups and if you just want to mine new vocab you can more easily spot it.

Got to about ~2.5k words but it didn't feel like they were sticking like they should, so I dropped it.

resource density is fine honestly. but i also mostly used resources with german as assisting language, so i'm not quite sure how extensive english language materials are, willing to bet though there's something decent out there.
as for written standards, you only /really/ need to learn bokmål, it isn't like nynorsk is incomprehensible. i don't write in it, but it's not at all any difficult to understand. besides, people often write how they speak anyway, aswell as in swedish, so it's not that big a deal either way. just a thing to get used to, not a real hurdle though

>>214451327
good question. not really sure how to answer that. written i understand pretty much everything and never have any trouble, but that might also be due to the fact that swedish uses a lot of low german words, so whenever i wouldn't understand something based on my knowledge of norwegian, i likely recognize the word from german. spoken, it depends a lot. it's a very diverse language, so it varies on the dialect, but i would say it's always around 70-80%, and the rest i can guess based on context in spoken language.

>>214451926
>>214451327
at least***** around 70-80%. mostly more though. for example, i can watch a documentary, a youtube video, or a movie in swedish and wouldn't have much trouble understanding it. i listen to swedish podcasts sometimes for fun and it isn't an issue.

Why are languages so complicated af?? Its like ancient mechanism in your brain, learning a language at c1 level requires a years of practice, speaking, learning, writing, immersion etc, i dont have so much time in my life to spend it on language, why wasnt i born in english speaking country, im so fucking tired to learn english, fuck this shit, i just wanna be percieved as normal human being, but its impossible when you were born in 3rd world country with awfull teaching of english at schools, and you'll be a subhuman with horrible accent in english, russian accent is basically caveman dialect, no one loves russian accent, i regret everyday that i was born as russian, it totally sucks
anyway, why were languages designed as such intricate mechanism? it affects any language, i would say that english grammar is easy if it compared with russian, german etc
but any languages have many useless grammar rules, many illogical parts of it, irregular declensions, words, verbs, whatever else in order to just to be, because they are spoken like that (sorry for my bad english)

Russian accents are seen as kind of cool in America, even if they forget to say “the” often. Maybe Euros see Russians as cavemen, but many Americans see Russians as our respected rival (or hated enemy if they’re a liberal). When we think Russia we think of a real country with real agency that is a potential threat to us. We don’t think the same with Germany. Even a lot of liberals see Eurofags as kind of retarded and weak.

The only exception among Euros is the French, who get hate in part because of past attempts at throwing off American dominance.

The problem is that when it comes to European languages, I have a soft spot for these small and medium-sized but resolute nations and languages. That is why Dutch, Italian, Swedish and Norwegian are on the list, and there was also Czech and Slovak, but these are Slavic languages and I could learn them later. I just don't know if I'll ever use them outside of a few conversations, and I feel that it's better to learn one of the two powerful European languages: German or French (they learn them in those small, resolute countries anyway) or Japanese.

I find vanilla anki ugly as shit, and it feels soul crushing to use without copious amounts of mods to make it actually tolerable.

>>214458734
the padded cell, i think offices generally radiate a feeling of immense depression and are made for makeshift humans. in a padded cell i could bounce around like a monkey throwing a tantrum inbetween reps, how is that not better than a fucking office? christ man you could have said anything, like a lounge or a living cozy living room, and you come up with office. when you think of a cozy place you think of a fucking office and you call me dull KEK
anyway, i'm happy that you made anki more enjoyable for yourself

>>214459154
You mistake my meaning of office. I mean in ones house. A study perhaps is the word I should have used.
Stay mad I guess?

>>214457690
Dutch is kino, right at the borderline of kinda sounding like English sometimes before getting too distant

>>214459226
huh? office in the context of one's house i could get (although i have never heard someone say that, maybe i just don't know an english speaking person who has that), but is "a study" really a word for a room like that

>try learning Chinese

bongs use the word "study" for that sort of thing. for most americans, calling it a study is a bit pretentions and is something of an affectation. most of us would call it a(n) (home) office. since we use the same word to refer to the workplace and our home work area, in this context, of course, an intelligent person would disambiguate the two.

>>214459685
I'm just interested in classical languages. I also want to learn Latin and ancient Greek. but decided on modern Greek before ancient, which made me wonder about learning a modern Indian language before Sanskrit

Roll a language - my edition
1, 6 Dutch
2, 7 French
3, 8 German
4, 9 Italian/Spanish
5, 0 Swedish/Norwegian
dubbs Japanese
In the case of two languages in one point, the penultimate digit is decisive: odd for the first language, even for the second.
>>214444044
It was supposed to be as above, but I fucked up. So I should have drawn Japanese, but I forgot I wasn't supposed to learn Japanese until I reached C level in English. So Italian it is. But again, I don't know if it counts if there were only XXX.
I also don't know if Italian should be on the list and whether Dutch should be in the same category as Swedish and Norwegian.
Maybe I should ditch the easy alternatives and take up German or French, or just stick to the easy languages because I'm focusing on English. After all, I've already rejected Japanese because of its difficulty and the amount of time it takes.
And will I have the opportunity to use lesser-known languages? They'll probably switch to English right away, and there isn't that much content to consume. Italian is already a bit behind. And now I'm into Videoclub and city pop and j-emo-rock very much.
And does this post count as rolling, or do I have to roll with a reply afterwards? I think reply
>>214459390
I like them for that. It's like a language from an alternate universe. It's similar with Czech, Slovak and Polish, which all sound strange to others. Stroopwafels are cool. And does the Netherlands still have windows that open upwards or outwards like the British ones, or are they all German / european windows now? These are also cool

There’s a different connotation as to the intended primary purpose of the space. An office more specifically entails some sort of work that needs to be done at home, and a room for that, a study more generally would be more like a mix of office, personal library, and a lounge in my imagination. Like I can see someone working from home when I hear office, but I can see someone reading or studying languages in a study.

Basically no games dubbed in Swedish, except for Spyro Reignited Trilogy for some reason. Dubbing outside of children's shows is also rare.

Anyone have any torrent, download or free streaming sites for Swedish content? This is all that I've found in my usual places.

https://www.svtplay.se/ -- movies/tv streaming with captions, limited choices but updates periodically
https://www.filmarkivet.se/ -- short films, seems like it's only old stuff

I’ve been grinding out the vulgate with it and my Latin comfort with native texts has shot up dramatically. I’m not going back to readers ever. Imma just grind out the gospels in order, then acts, then Maccabees for military vocab, and probably work through Caesar and Ecclesiastes and the Psalms simultaneously.

I set up ancient Greek on it, so someday if I get the urge maybe I’ll just do the same method again but completely raw through Lute with no prior experience. Gospels/acts for basic narrative/core vocab, Maccabees for a bridge into military/diplomatic/historical vocab that still retains similar grammar to minimize the jump, then into a classic basic-intermediate text like the Anabasis.

Korean mass media is mostly an imitation of Japan's, but historically their culture is much more similar to China's
ancient Korea saw Chinese culture as superior and they endeavoured to emulate China as much as possible i.e. by setting up Confucian schools and Buddhist temples
there is very little ancient Korean writing of note other than histories and biographies of monks

I'm not very familiar with modern Korean culture so I can't talk much on that but ancient Korea was very much an emulation of China, and they did it much better than Japan. During the Qing dynasty they actually refused to admit that the Ming had ended and saw themselves as the last bastion of true Chinese civilisation lol

Difficult pronunciation, spelling makes a little more sense than English, I'm a little proud of myself for figuring out the pronunciation of jongen very quickly (thanks Joost), I have positive associations with them since childhood, they definitely figured out what a country should look like, they invented city life, have cool windows, and I like their stroopwafels and Dutch baby pancakes, but there is so little content here. They speak excellent English, many of them speak German, some speak French. It makes no sense to me to learn it if I'm not going there. If I emigrated there or even planned to, or if I intended to spend some money on language learning, I would definitely learn Dutch

Oh let me fucking guess, you're the white&red jordie

>>214494232
It's OK, Poldie. You need to spend more time finding yourself and exploring what's out there and living your truth. When you find the "one", you will commit to it. The perfect language is out there, waiting for you and it won't care about your long list of failed attempts.

don't worry, the next time will be easier

I want to say, to give you a better idea of how hard you're fucking up, that I started reading VNs in Jap less than half a year after I started learning the language
Pick something(and stick to it!) already before you make me snap and strangle you to death

The problem is that everything sucks in life when you take a closer look

>>214492812
No… only me. But I was influenced by another maple leaf so that’s probably why you’re confused

People who abandoned a language :
> what was it and why did you give up and what level were you etc ?

Me : none yet, still trying to decide what I want to learn so I have no stories to share

>>214478337
>fairly complicated for japanese
i thought there was only one extra dependency?

for me i just installed the grammar parser dependency and pulled the repo and everything worked

So I have a choice: go back to Italian (I quickly started speaking, but understood less), go back to German (I understood something, but learning was slow), start Japanese from scratch (I only remember a bit of kana), learn French (I had it at school, but it will be practically from scratch)
Spanish or Portuguese or Norwegian or Swedish are also alternatives to the above. But I would rather save them for the future, or if I were to emigrate to those countries.

Although my English is a bit better I think. Did you devote a lot of time to Japanese?
The self-study materials are top tier, they have great music, almost every possible type of entertainment culture, they annoy me a little by throwing anime into everything, but that's a minor detail. The problem is that they are a far away from me, and by the time I get there knowing the language, I'll be an old fart gajin in Japan

Learn German.

>Did you devote a lot of time to Japanese?
I guess? I generally have a positive attitude towards shit made by Japs and did end up spending a lot of time immersing in their stuff, nowadays I use it as much as English, maybe even more. Like 90% of all media I consume is Japanese as well. When learning I went with only Anki and immersion with a dictionary though, so I guess I did a lot less "proper" study than others? According to Anki I spent about 8 full days grinding Japanese.
I didn't bring up Japanese to talk you into learning it, but to tell you that you could have reached that specific level in the super duper hardcore language that is Japanese if only you had spent the last 6 months in a proper way instead of bouncing off a billion languages.

it's a 字典 which is a kind of Chinese dictionary that lists characters, their composition, pronunciation, and meaning
different from a 詞典 which lists words

What the hell…..
Nightmare in Russian is the e same as in French !!!!! I’m shocked.
Should have learned this language instead.

We should all learn Chinese.

Which Slavic and/or Germanic language has the most French borrowed words ?

pretty much everyone took from French, ChatGPT gives these % (which might not be accurate, idk)

धन्यवाद

>>214496173
The main reason why I don't take up Japanese, even though I have consumed a lot of content, is that I focus on English rn and wanted something easier
>>214496024
I think about it, but it is a very time-consuming language

>>214497107
I’m surprised Dutch is more than German and polish more than Russia

Learn Swedish then. It's like German-lite and category 1 language.
Still going to take you years though, that's just the nature of the hobby.

>>214497530
Tried Dutch for the same reason and gave up after one day. Little or no content, few learning materials, small population, they speak excellent English and they mogg me with it. I also have a big problem with vowels and minimal pairs based on vowels. And I have a feeling that in Swedish it might be a problem.

Start with :
German
Or
Russian ?
Which one feels more satisfying ?

I'm struggling through this manga right now lmao it's pretty good stuff

>>214497683
depends entirely on your plans and what you're more interested in. for me Germanic (and Romance) sparks joy but Slavic is harder to relate to

>>214497860
I love both :( I don’t want any Romance language. Slavic is very difficult, German I like but not as intensely maybe. Problem is I have family in Germany and Russian… no but I just like the language itself and most of the things I like or watch is in Russian for some reason

>>214497882
go with Russian then

Beanten anyone who asks "which language shoudl I startd? X or Y?" Instead of relating language mechanic learning progress with wood pieces.
