Before I Knew What Istg Actually Meant, I Tried To Decipher It By Using The First Words That I Came Up

When I am listening to songs in Finnish or whatever, I often get stuck up on translating some of the words to english. Not like in an "I cant think of a translation" kind of way, but in an "I wonder how translating this like that would affect the flow of the song" kind of way.

Anyways, today I was listening to a song that had the words "olen surullinen", or "I am sad" in English. I noted how the Finnish version is much longer than the English one, that "sad" translates to "surullinen", a much longer word.

Then I that rabbit hole of a thought went a bit further, and I realized that the the Finnish word for "sadness" is much shorter, "suru", even though it is longer in English.

A nice enough thought on its own, but the hole goes deeper. I went on to think about why this is, and realized that in English, the adjective "sad" is the base form from which the language derives the other forms. In Finnish though, the base form is "sadness", which basically is the essence of being sad, the noun, from which the language gets the other words. And from this perspective of having the noun be the base form, being sad could be interpeted as having the essence of being sad. Thats what the "-llinen" ending in "surullinen" (the adjective, the feeling) means, having something or similar.

Not really sure if there is a point to any of this, just reflecting on how different languages "think" and also discovering a part of why translating songs between English and Finnish is so hard.

I fucking do that xdd. A few tips to climbing trees in public spaces:

1. uhh you can do it at night. This of course depends on where you live, if you can go out at night safely, but where I live night is the most peaceful time to go out, and no one is awake to judge.

2. if you dont give enough of a shit you can do it during daytime as well. You'd be surprised at how many people just flat out dont notice you being in a tree.

3. you can pick up bouldering / climbing as a hobby. Goes without saying that this costs money, but learning to climb as a hobby really opens up so many different trees you didnt even think to climb before. Its also a really fun way to exercise, just grabbing those colourful blocks and getting higher. Also makes you less likely to fall off a tree and more capable of taking falls, so overall just safer.

i keep forgetting that most adults simply grow too tall to play on the playground and it no longer fits them. that + the contempt for play so many societies have makes having fun exercise difficult.

but anyway people were commenting about how many new outside free gyms for adults are going up like ‘why can’t they just build adult sized playgrounds why even outside do we have to do the gym’ and it’s a fair point. they’ve got hanging bars and no jungle gym. climbing the stairs to a high slide is a workout with the slide reward. you could argue that children who are too small would attempt to use it and hurt themselves but there are already different sized playgrounds for children based on their age/growth.

the free outside gyms give you the same boring motions over and over and no room for imaginative play. it is possible (ofc) to find fun exercise but most examples (trampoline park, ninja warrior, rock climbing) are costly. they love to beat playing out of their people and then cry that no one is exercising.

She's got her tongue sticking out she's so derpy

She's so cunty, but is your transit network as cunty as this???

well maybe YOUR language, that is WEIRD and FOREIGN, does that, but MY language, that is PERFECT, makes complete sense and is perfectly understandable, and is also the default and best way of experiencing the human life.

Why does like every language do things with their R sounds that nobody else understands

Now that I think about it, I'm half convinced it was made up by american corporations as a marketing tactic.

"I bet you remembered this brand name wrong" is a pretty good way to get people to recognize your brand, especially when you explain it with a trendy new phenomenon.

Like I still remember some of the brands even though I have never actually seen them anywhere.

Ok but the Mandela effect is like so fake. There is one actual example of this with Nelson Mandela himself and the rest are americans remembering brand names wrong.

Like once I was discussing religion with a friend (like in a nice and interesting way, not accusatory), and they asked me wether there would be people in my utopia that believed in religions. They said theirs probably would, similar to how they'd allow differing political beliefs too. My answer was that everyone would most likely be atheists by default, as religion wouldn't really be a variable I'd think about when making a utopia.

Political views, however, are different in my opinion. Personally I consider differing political views (and healthy interaction between them) a necessity for society to improve, making them necessary for reaching said utopia. I personally dont believe religions to also be essential for that.

This being the internet, I probably should clarify that I dont mind people believing in stuff either, and religion wouldnt necessarily make my utopia worse either.

There's something about atheism that I've repeatedly tried and failed to put into words on several posts on this blog but I think I finally got it.

Atheists are the only religious minority who, even (or sometimes even *especially*) in ostensibly progressive spaces are not allowed to ever act like they're sure of their beliefs.

Luin ton uutisen ja siellä kokoajan puhuttiin jotain et "Mutta tämä ratkaisu ei nyt ollutkaan oikea", siis mihin ratkaisu, mitä tää edes yrittää ratkaista??

Tai siis siinä jutussa kerran mainittiin et arkkitehdillä oli visio et ne välitilat minkä läpi käveltäis olis ryhmätöille nii läpi kävely ei haittais mut käytävät kirjaimellisesti ajaa samaa virkaa??? Ja vielä paremmin????

Siis ylipäätään aivan järjetön idea, ihan kun kenellekään sitä enää tarvis sanoa.
