Reading online and watching videos I've been noticing a pattern in the recent Italian slang: using "in culo" as an adverb to mean "molto, veramente, tanto" (=really, a lot, very much) or, to keep the swearing level "fottutamente" (=damn, dang, hell, fucking, freaking)

So for example if something you're eating is really good, you can say "è buono in culo" = it's freaking good

If someone is being an asshole with you or purposely misinterpreting you, you can say "sei scemo in culo" = you're fucking stupid

Swearing in Italian without really swearing

By now I bet y'all know Italian swearing words and how to create new ones I guess, so let's move on to when you want to swear but you cannot (eithe rbecause of your beliefs, because you're with kids or people you don't know...). There's a way out, if muttering feels a little too dangerous. You can "swear" using random words (even cute ones lol). These are some of the most common I can think of:

porca paletta = lit. holy spade porca ciabattina = lit. holy little slipper porca miseria (a little heavier tbh) = lit. holy misery porca vacca = lit. holy cow (at times we use the English literal translation "santa mucca" too) mannaggia/mannaggina = darn it porco mondo (heavier) = lit. holy world

These all could be considered an equivalent of "crap" or "dang" tbh. Reminder that "porca" is used as an adjective as to underline the incredible amount of negativity of the noun it comes with (basically it works as "lurid", "indecent".... Porco = swine, pig) and also to throw out a little bit of stress.

Je suis peut-être la dernière au courant, mais j'ai découvert que le Projet Voltaire a mis en ligne un programme d'apprentissage des bases de la LSF (langue des signes française). Et c'est gratuit :3

https://lsf.fondation-voltaire.fr

Je dis pas que ça va nous permettre de finir bilingue, mais ça peut constituer un début :)

I hope you all know that this is the best version of Les mis ever recorded and I will not be taking criticism on that point.

I don't care that it's in french, get yourselves on Duolingo if you've got a problem with it.

In this essay I will ⤵️

I hope you're all appreciating the chord changing to a major on the line "je prefer quitter ce monde" in Javerts suicide that symbolises his resolution because not only does it send instant chills but it makes it SO MUCH SADDER because he's completely resigned himself to his fate.

The whole album is incredible musically and has so many elements added in that aren't in any of the English versions. And all of the Amis voices are super sexy so it's a win win situation. (Esp enjolras 😫). De plus, no one has a weird voice so you don't have to put up with anyone's strange singing

Also there's a buildup in 'Seul devant ces tables vides' (empty chairs at empty tables) like I've never heard before it's insane.

ALSO the way that fantine sings j'avais rêvé is so tender and she just sounds so broken it's SO GOOD.

ALSO so obviously the English is not directly translated from the french so you get a lot of variation in lyrics and I could talk for days about this but one thing I'll point out is that in drink with me, Marius says 'j'attends, comme le délivrance, la balle qui m'est destinée' (I await, like deliverance, the bullet intended for me), which is insane because it gets across a side of Marius we see in the book of his absolute resignation to death that we hardly ever see in the English musical. And then instead of WOULD you cry if I were to fall, he goes will you cry. Which is super sad

I could talk about this album for YEARS

Anyway go listen to it if you haven't

a dramatical "schwiiierig" is literally the worst response you can get from a German

Love how the university-specific word for "classmate" in German comes from the Latin word for "comrade in arms". Finally someone recognizes education for what it is. Yeah we're in the trenches covered in blood 👍

A win for trans rights!!!!!! 🏳️‍⚧️

The Selbstbestimmungsgesetz (self-identify law) allows trans and intersex people to change their name and gender in the civil registry much more easily than before by submitting a self-disclosure form. This will be possible starting on the 1. November 2024 while the self-disclosure forms can be submitted as early as 1. August 2024 because of the 3 month waiting period in the law. After a name and gender change the person will be barred from changing it again for one year. People of ages 14-17 will need the approval of a legal guardian to change their gender and name while for children under 14 the legal guardians can submit a form for the change.
