🇸🇪 Reciprocal Verbs and Abstract Nouns

Reciprocal Verbs

"You can add -s to verbs to give them a so called ”reciprocal meaning”, i.e. meaning ’each other’. So träffa is ”to meet”, whereas träffas is ”to meet each other”. So you are essentially saying ”[it was] nice to meet each other”.

This reciprocal -s is very common in verbs that have to do with fighting of some sort, e.g. boxas (to box), slåss (to fight), retas (to tease), but also kramas (to hug), kyssas (to kiss) etc." - Redditor Coedwig

Abstract (vs. Concrete) Nouns

will study forms like

abstract nouns: noun, singular adj, plural adj, adverb (noun, -lig, -liga, -ligt)

concrete nouns: indef singular (a/an foot), definite singular (the foot), definite plural (the feet, the oranges), indef plural (some feet)

Poetry Month Challenges Day 30: Zeal and Zealousness

Zealousness in Zeal by Maria L. Berg 2023 Zeal & Zealousness Finding the contradictory nature in today’s abstract nouns was an interesting and challenging exercise. Many would say that zeal and zealousness have the same meaning, however, zeal is a feeling and zealousness is being full of or characterized by that feeling. I thought writer Harvey Ardman’s answer to the question of how zeal and…

Belief

Could I

have loved

the desert

in another life?

If Dad

had been

different,

If we

never left—

would I still

see your face

or

face the sea

instead?

But you are

too dear

for a

cosmoglance—

and trees

are

a

need.

Kel, do you actually dislike Pink or were you just tricking Aubrey into being racist?

yes i absolutely was tricking aubrey into being racist pink is a wonderful colour and I'd be a sinner if i were to deny that

#also like. the barbie movie is a thing. #after watching that movie NOT liking pink just feels wrong y'know??? #but i should also add that now saying “YOU'RE A [insert noun]” no matter the context is just undoubtedly hilarious #especially when its something so horrifically abstract that a person simply cannot be #thank u for the ask muah muah #thoughts #thoughts of kel

Thought too hard about how I name Tieflings and started considering the role of "common" in DND and how different real life languages might fit in that framework. Needless to say now I want to write an essay but alas. Its midnight.

#conventionally ive always considered common to be equivalant to english #but that really only works in the anglosphere #because like. even amongst humans living in one area languages differ #let alone different countries and continents #so common must change depending on where you are #but theres no real way to differentiate that beyond roleplay #anyway all this to say- #my tiefling naming scheme is singular nouns or adjectives #typically representing abstract conceots or bearing significant meaning #parents name their offspring in an attempt to instill qualities into them #hence: Dynasty #his mother named him in an attempt to ensure he brought the family #honor for many centuries to come #hence doomed by the narrative he was lmao #i definitely stole this from somewhere but i forgor where #its been 6 years #baldur's gate 3 ocs #DND rambling #dnd

Anxiety

My poem won’t do what I want it to. I chew my pen, my nails, my lip and resort to the key- board. No change. Words seem to have lives of their own. They’re off to have adventures, without me, they don’t care about poetry. Yet, they’ve guided me here, to a wordingfount, where poems are found. Kim M. Russell, 21st April 2023 Image: collaboration with Ave Calvar on Unsplash It’s day…

Yield in Yearning by Maria L. Berg 2023 Yearning and Yield I still absolutely love the image I made for yearning last year.

Collective Nouns Definition Collective nouns are nouns that refer to a collection or group of multiple people, animals, or things. However, even though collective nouns refer to multiple individuals, they still usually function as singular nouns in a sentence. This is because they still are technically referring to one thing: the group as a whole. Here are some examples of collective…

Me: I'm creating my first ever conlang so I'm going to be extremely sensible, methodical and serious about it.

Also me, a couple of months later: Ha, I've created almost all the words and grammar I need to translate this one meme.

Me, thirty seconds later: *creates missing words and makes 'RIP to her, but I'm different' the 17th full sentence written down* I am doing this for fun so I am allowed to have fun with it.

[Edit - Me, about 5 minutes after that: *irritably pondering whether the translation is exactly right*]

#I'd show you but it looks reeeeeally weird #maybe when i come up with a writing system #which will be easier when i stop messing about with verbs and abstract concepts and get some concrete nouns down #so i can match sounds to symbols #conlang
