Yeah i get it. When i read finnish i understand more from swedish, english and german than i do from hungarian. And its the exact same with translating for me. I once read a some random text as an example of how far apart they are and only a few words and letters matched up in patterns that made sense as a hungarian speaker. The grammar is supposed to be similar, i know a finn who learnt hungarian and he said he learnt the grammar much faster than the non finnish speakers. As for visiting finland i always wanted to but somehow even tho i live so close the only time ive been there is when i flew from budapest to iceland through helsinki. I did hear people speak it and you can notice the similarities that way.

Apparently ä in swedish and ä in finnish are different but even with that the wikipedia article for swedish gives similar examples so now i feel a bit confused. For me they really do sound different. Also about writing how you speak, my native language, hungarian, also does that but with quite a few caveats. It uses multiple letters as one(diagraphs), groups together letters that sound different but dont change meaning when you say them differently(allophones) and also we write things how they work etymologically a lot of times. For me swedish ä sounds like a bit less “stressed” or “fat” e from hungarian.

That made me flinch. Reading it makes me hurt. Idk why, its such a small thing.

Nah it annoys me too. Guess thats a downside to knowing swedish/nordic languages. Ever since then every ikea meme bothers me because they keep using ø which swedish doesnt even have and also just generally use the wrong one. Tho idk which language and dialect you speak cause ä is much closer to enough for me in my småland accent.

Its like when you do the whole logic and calculations part and then forget to square root the number at the end.

But as always hungary is number one… in how obese our president is…

I mean you can basically undestand it if you know english and sprinkle in some europeanness

Similar for me but instead i was counting seconds and calculating power of twos, both of which they found really creepy. My mom came to pick me up once and this was hungary so the nurses had no idea what numbers i was saying and they asked my mom what the numbers were and she was already used to it that point and just answered power of twos. After that the staff thought my whole family was insane. Thankfully i was a gifted kid which means i excelled academically until 8th grade where i burned out completely and since have done nothing productive in my life…

Ok ill use that, its just last time i used that someone had to point out that technically the male form… i guess it still is like in spanish where multiple people with undetermined gender are adressed with the male plural right?

Idk i always had a hard time as hungarian, my first language, doesnt have gender. Im a very proficient english speaker, almost at a native level but i do struggle with the gender stuff sometimes. Tho in daily speech i just use they/them as a fallback so i guess that works.

Hah jokes on you i kept the fire going with an autistic filipinx lesbian butch! Tho i am a straight white male… also i have no idea if filipinx is the correct term, how do you use it in a gender neutral way?

I love the cars which only have the must have versions of modern tech. You usually get them in like budget oriented cars from a few years back. Has a parking radar but it only beeps and doesnt have cameras. Has the anti tailgate brake thingy without a bunch of other gizmos. Pretty sure you can also retrofit cars with these if youre into some diy, they actually help you with driving/parking without distracting you.

OP, this is not like you getting replaced by a vibrator, your wife actually enjoys that more than the human equivalent

I mean they mention it in school but ive never actually seen it written as Atilla. Have seen Attilla tho but thats incorrect.

Yeah its a sad thing when your country had weather you liked and then climate change ruined it. While i also like the weather in some parts of spain, my favourite thing is very continental weather. Hungary used to be that with -15 in winters and +30-35 in summers and now its wet 0c winters and a bit hotter summers(which dont bother me that much tbf). Its interesting that it didnt just shift up the temperature by x degrees, instead it nuked winter and made summer only a bit hotter.

If youre already at rock bottom, any change is good change.

I lived in ireland for 5 years so i think i can commit terrorism against brits right?

I know but making fun of the uk, especially england is always justified and funi

The bri’ish complainin about like 25c or something while im rotting in 40 and the spanish are probably already dead from the 46 or whatever they have.

I usually dont take it off and if you do that its much more cozy. Even during the winter i wear short sleeves and a hoodie and then during the summer i just take the hoodie out of the equation.
