Yeah, but alas. We're running parallel now apparently.

Question for Dutch anons, why is it "dit wetenschappelijke tijdschrift" when tijdschrift is a 'het' word?
Easton Murphy
I am trying to use a textbook and do a set number of lessons each week to try and remotivate myself. I find apps like duolingo a bit annoying with the owl's smug, condescending face and the streaks and leagues and other gamified elements just get me too be lazy by making me be focused on completing lessons as fast as possible just to get it over with to get xp, rewards, etc. and not take in the content. I think it is best to not have duo as your main learning material. Getting too invested in the game elements of duo were harmful to my learning.
Jackson Lopez
Just to paraphrase: Gamified apps like duo can easily lead to burnout in my experience.

OK, so wiktionary is telling me that the nominative singular of Лacты is Лacтa, while Deepl is telling me that it is Лacт. I take it that this means that both words exist, if so what is the difference?

Tijdschrift is neuter and dit is a neuter determiner, so... everything's in order.
Think of het and dit like the and this.
