English words spelled in Greek look silly

"h" transliterated as "г" looks even more silly. ХOЧEШЬ ГAMБУPГEP ДPУЖE :DDDDD ДA, ХOЧУ ГAMБУPГEP MMMMMM :DDD
Noah Nguyen
That has to do with the fact that respective consonants in Russian and English sound differently and there is no good way to cyrillicise it Though, I do agree that some English words sound silly - especially zoomer lang - cлaтшeйминг, виктимблeйминг, гaзлaйтинг in comparison to words which are now well-established лeнч, вoкзaл, кeкc, лoбби, хyлигaн

eu aprendi o verbo "supor" e "pôr" em português. Antes de estudar o português, aprendi o espanhol que tem verbos que terminan só com "-ar", "-er" e "-ir" há outros verbos com a terminação "-or"? e um verbo com "-ur" existe ou não?

Ich habe ein rotes Feuerzeug. Mein Rucksack ist schwerig Ich weiß nicht wo meine Autoschlüssel sind
Möchtest du meinen Stiefvater treffen? Es wurde in Studien gezeigt dass Arbeitslosigkeit erschwerende Gesundheitsprobleme verursachen kann Wie könntest du mich hier in diesem wüsten Ort allein lassen? Ich hatte so viel Angst
Wenn ich nun durch eine ganze Nacht schlafen könnte, würde ich meinen Aufsatz fertigstellen, aber diese verdammte Hunde haben gar nicht vor aufzuhören! Er hat sich in den Sessel gesetzt und hat ungedüldig das Buch geöffnet, gespannt zu wissen was als nächstes passieren wurde Es wurde fast Dunkel als Elise endlich zu dem Haus angekommen ist. Sie hat an die Tür geklopft, aber niemand hat sie geöffnet
Ian Diaz
provavelmente não estou a melhor pessoa para ajudar-te mas os verbos -or são mais os verbos -por tipo todos os verbos que acabam em -por conjugam mesmo, só a parte de frente muda Tipo Eu punho . . . Eu "im"punho . . . Mas talvez fizesse um erro, só quis ver se eu esteja certo :) (e verbos -ur não existem) Obrigado anão, o subjuntivo ainda está a foder me

Rubeum ignitorem habeo Gravis est sarcina mea Nescio ubi claves autocurrus mei sint
Velles papas meum cognoscere? Extant doctrinae in quibus demonstratur salutem per penuriam laboris peiorem fieri posse Quam ob rem reliquisti me hoc in deserto loco? Perterritus fui
Utinam bona somni nocte frui possem, ludi scriptum perficerem, at isti canes nefasti sane ne latrent abstinere nequeunt Considit in sella prope camino et impatiens librum aperuit, cupidus sciendi quid postea facturum esse Tenebris paene completis, domum tandem advenit. Magnam ianuam pulsavit, sed nemo aperuit

*Mein Rucksack ist schwer "schwerig" is not a word. In case you meant "schwierig": that word is not used when it's about the actual weight of a thing. "schwierig" more or less means "difficult".
>Es wurde in Studien gezeigt dass Arbeitslosigkeit erschwerende Gesundheitsprobleme verursachen kann. I thought about this sentence for a long time and finally came to the conclusion that your solution is fine. But note that you don't need the passive voice here just like the original sentence: Studien haben gezeigt... (Also always put a comma before dass) *konntest du mich hier an (wüst ist not wrong but einsam or trostlos or even gottverlassen [at least in writing] would be more fitting here)

j'ai un briquet rouge mon sac à dos est lourd je ne sais pas où est mes clés de voiture
Jeg har en rød tænder Min rygsæk er tung Jeg ved ikke, hvor mine bilnøgler er.
Vil du gerne møde min stedfar? Undersøgelser har vist, at arbejdsløsheden medfører øgede sundhedsmæssige problemer. Hvordan kunne du have forladt mig alene på dette øde sted? Jeg var så bange.
Hvis jeg kun kunne få en god nats søvn, ville jeg være i stand til at afslutte mit essay, men disse forbandede hunde holder ikke op med at bjælke! Han lagde sig ned i lænestolen nær skorstenen og åbnede utålmodig bogen, ivrig efter at vide, hvad der skete dernæst. Mørket var næsten faldet, da Elise endelig ankom til huset. Hun bankede på den store dør, men ingen svarede.

Los estudios han demostrado que el paro causa maoyores problemas de salud
Gli studi hanno dimostrato che la disocuppazione causa maggiori problemi di salute
Cómo has podido dejarme solo en aquello sitio desoado: Tuve tanto miedo
Come hai potuto lasciarmi in quel posto isolato: Ho avuto tanta paura
Si al menos pudiera tener una buena noche de sueño, podría terminar mi ensayo, pero estos malditos perros no dejan de ladrar!
Se almeno potessi prendere una buona notte di sogno, sarei in grado di finire il mio saggio, ma questi danati cani non smetteranno di abbaiare!
Él se sentó en el brazo de la silla cerca de la chimenea y impacientemente abrió el libro, ansioso para saber lo que pasaba enseguida
Si sistemò sulla poltrona vicino al camino i aprì con impazienza il libro, desideroso di sapere cosa sarebbe successo dopo
La oscuridad casi había caído cuando Elisa finalmente llegó a la casa. Ella golpeó la puerta grande, pero nadie respondió
L'oscuritá era quasi caduta quando Elise finalmente arrivò a casa. Bussò alla grande porta, ma nessuno rispose

J'ai un briquet rouge. Mon sac à dos est lourd. Je ne sais pas où sont mes clés de voiture.
Voudriez-vous (voudrais-tu) rencontrer mon beau-père? Des études ont montré que le chômage provoque une augumentation des problèmes de santé. Comment as-tu (avez-vous) pu me laisser seul (seule) dans cet endroit désert? J'avais tellement peur.
Si seulement je pouvais avoir une bonne nuit de sommeil, je pourrais finir ma redáction, mais ces maudits chiens n'arrêtent pas de aboyer! Il s'est installé dans le fauteuil près de la cheminée et il a ouvert impatiemment le livre, désireux de savoir ce qui s'est passé ensuite. La obscurité était presque tombé quand Elise enfin est arrivée a la maison. Elle a frappé à la grande porte, mais personne n'a répondu.

Assuming this isn't supposed to be Norwegian...
>Jeg har en rød tænder tænder -> lighter (loan word)
>Hvis jeg kun kunne få en god nats søvn, ville jeg være i stand til at afslutte mit essay, men disse forbandede hunde holder ikke op med at bjælke! Hvis jeg kun kunne -> Hvis bare jeg kunne ... bjælke (the log kind of "beam") -> gø
>Han lagde sig ned i lænestolen nær skorstenen og åbnede utålmodig bogen, ivrig efter at vide, hvad der skete dernæst. utålmodig -> utålmodigt (this is an adverb)
>Mørket var næsten faldet ... Mørket havde næsten lagt sig ...

Some extra clarification: "Hvis jeg kun kunne" is literally "If I only could", as in, you couldn't possibly achieve more than that, outside your skills or power or whatever

Learning (Castillian) Spanish, bros. I have exactly one year to become damn near fluent. I did not take any language courses at my university and now all of the masters programs I'm looking at require one. So I'm going 100% at it and looking to create a program that will help me do it. I'm not choosing Spanish because it's supposedly easy or anything, I genuinely want to learn it.
Anyway, best apps to get? Any good podcasts and is Pimsleur the best for tapes or is something better?
I have a wife that speaks it so it's a built in free tutor. Also, I like how versatile it is as I can go to a lot of places and speak it. Spanish history is fucking based and speaking the language of Based Cortes is awesome. Also cool literature from Cervantes to Borges and others. Also, when I finally get really good at it I'll be learning Portuguese and go from there with the Romance languages.

>je ne sais pas où est mes clés de voiture Où sont Easy an medium are corrects
>Si seulement je pouvais avoir une bonne nuit de sommeil, je pourrais finir ma redáction, mais ces maudits chiens n'arrêtent pas de aboyer! Rédaction * and "d'aboyer" But, imo, this sentence doesn't sound right in French, I would have written it with the 'temps composés'. =>si seulement j'avais pu (...), j'aurais pu (...) n'ont pas arrêté. Does another French think like me ?
>Il s'est installé dans le fauteuil près de la cheminée et il a ouvert impatiemment le livre, désireux de savoir ce qui s'est passé ensuite. Correct. You could also have used the 'passé simple' here if you'd want : => il s'installa / il s'assit (...) il ouvrit. But then again, wouldn't it make more sense to have a 'futur simple' verb at the end ? => ce qu'il se passera ensuite
>La obscurité était presque tombé quand Elise enfin est arrivée a la maison. Elle a frappé à la grande porte, mais personne n'a répondu. L'obscurité était presque tombée. Again you could have also chosen 'passé simple => était tombée (...) arriva (...) frappa (...) répondit

Is French the best second language for picking up dark skinned qts? Asking for a friend.
Go for it. Even if the qts don't speak French they'll still think it's attractive.
