met a Swede the other day at a party who didn't believe me when I said that there are grammatical genders in Swedish

#I convinced him at the end >:) #He was really nice! We talked a lot about Scandinavia and languages which was fun

yes, bi all means

to bi or not to bi, that is the question

why do I find it so satisfying that in order to write “pourquoi” you only need to use the upper row of keys? 

#on a qwerty keyboard that is

I'm fully vaxxed! 🥰

#Got my second dose 24hours ago and I still dont have any side effects? Kinda worried it'll all come at once lol #I felt pretty sick after the first shot so I thought it would be even worse this time but nothing so far? #Fingers crossed that will be end of it!

I met an Erasmus student from Croatia and we decided not to use any English. I speak Bulgarian to her and she speaks Croatian to me and it actually works pretty well??? I find it SO cool!!!!!!

#Sometimes we need to paraphrase and use synonymes so the other understands #But we still just speak Bulgarian and Croatian and it's so cool #Once you learn a few Key words which are different it gets super easy!

Just got my first dose of the covid vaccine! 💉

#Im very mad at myself that i procrastinated so much #I was honestly a bit scared because of all the misinformation and myths #But im very glad i got it 💙 #Let's get this pandemic over with 🤙

I recently noticed that a lot of French people use the number "quinze mille" to just say a big number 🤔

#Like if they want to say thousands of something #Oddly specific for an exaggeration ! #Dunno if it's an actual thing or it's only the people i listened to lol

fick ett meddelande från min svenska kompis, så vi kommer att prata på fredag! jag ser fram emot det, men samtidigt är jag nervös, eftersom jag inte har pratat svenska på hela sommaren :S

#också! det är möjligt att vi kommer att möta vår nya norsklärare på lördag #men jag har inte pratat norska hela sommaren heller så jag har ingen aning hur jag ska klara #men jag saknar mina skandinaviska språk så mycket att det kommer bli bra #det är så tråkigt att jag hade så mycket att göra på universitetet med svenskan och norskan att jag blev lite burned out

I am just t e r r i b l e at codeswitching. I was just writing an article in French for work and a song in Swedish came up. The second I noticed it was in Swedish my brain crashed and I couldn't produce anything more in French :(

#I wonder if this is something that can be developed #In any case it hurts my brain lol #I usually listen to my French playlist when I have to write in French because I find it too distracting otherwise LOL #But even if it's like a stronger language like Bulgarian MY MOTHER TONGUE!!! I sometimes find it hard #If I've worked all day in French and my friend says something to me in Bulgarian I get confused??? #I have accepted that I will never be an interpreter I literally would not handle it #Love it when the tags are longer than the actual post

"barn" only means "child" to me now

Buildings and barns in westerns shouldn’t look old.

#barn #is so much rarer in English than it is in Norwegian and Swedish that my brain was like uuuuuum? #Why yes children should indeed not look old

reblog and put in the tags: how can people from your country tell what region you’re from ? ( ex: the way you pronounce certain words, superstitions, specific behaviors etc. )

#the dialect #we use a lot of palatalization in our region
