wish there was an avi creator so you could try combinations rather than wasting a bunch of volts oops
Posted in The other website now has dark mode but. Posted 4 years ago
Dark mode behind a pay wall? That's new.
Like if it was other purely cosmetic stuff i could understand but darkmode isn't just for the aesthetic, rip.
No idea which website we're talking about though but hope they'll reconsider their choice. o:

@Totalanimefan:
Hmm no idea where one would be able to find that info
Also i just read NGT or Dutch sign language isn't even officially recognized apparently o:
Read that they tried to push a bill in 2019 for official recognition of NGT
But im guessing it didn't get through yet, hmm.

Did see that there's around 15k native speakers, or well that was the number in '19

Oh which state? if you dont mind me asking c:

And it's called cute dress! ;v;
I'm assuming you meant the lower part but if not, the upper part is the Seifuku long sleeved top
Yesss, Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2

Waited like almost a decade for a new game omg
Even though for the longest time there was little to no hope for a new game.
Hope they manage to keep the atmosphere of the first one ;o;
Bloodlines is my fav game

@xvz: rip late reply but

Writing down is fun and i feel bad for not being able to keep up with it cause it's so draining
i do still have my old hardcover notebooks all filled up with them somewhere though
and sometimes if something is particularly interesting i might make a note of it or tell someone about it at least (:


Oh that sounds interesting, wonder what the exact cause for it happening was when napping @ day.
Maybe Cause you'd be less tired and it messed up, rem sleep or something?
Not very knowledgeable about that part so just making a wild guess here.

Glad to hear it's not as happening much anymore! (:
it's indeed no fun
Had a time where i was afraid to go to bed if the son wasn't up yet cause i was just being terrorized by it happening way too often
Causing me to go to sleep at around 5 o clock
It was not a fun time haha.

Luckily they're not as common for me anymore either, still had one a few weeks ago but it was brief not as bothering as the ones i had in the past haha.
Dumb thing before a certain age i never had it and when we moved at some point it somehow started happening on the regular it was weird.


And yeah habits are hard to build (and even harder to break haha)
but i think that could work if you think about it enough
If i were to think about having to do something the whole day, chances are i might dream about it, might be the same with some habits. (:

@pachi:
Hmm if i remember i should look it up some time, there's probably vids out there comparing it o:
So would you basically say french with a more British/american- ish accent? (i really have no idea haha)

You might still be able to get better with it as time passes. (:
but i feel dialects being so different from each other
I kinda joke about having a different dialect over here every 10 minutes if you were to drive through NL
But to be fair it wouldnt be too far from the truth lol.
(some might be similar while others might be harder to follow, speaking at least one of them really does help though)

And reading/watching stuff seems like a nice way of picking up new vocab, especially if it's about things you find interesting!
Same for playing games with the language settings set to the one you wanted to learn.
Used to have an english teacher and at the start over every year she would ask who played games cause she noticed them usually being more familiar with the english language, so figured it might work with other languages as well.

Rip late reply guys

@Totalanimefan:

i'm from the Netherlands (: How about you?
Looked it up and while it's is own it seems to be based on french from what i found
but at first when i looked up dutch SL it just showed a bunch of memes about it :')

But it's really interesting that some made up their own, it's amazing how these things come to be



@Hachi:

Well it has a lot of irregular forms and exceptions to it

The word order can get very funky

And in a sentence if someone is doing stuff depending on who does it the word can end on t,d or dt (a lot of people tend to get this wrong, unsure why it's even a thing in the first place)

And when it comes to spoken dutch, it might not always be pronounced the way it's written, we tend to add lots of unnecessary words into our sentences when speaking plus ''swallow'' some of the letters making the spoken language probably even harder to understand :')
(like not necessarily silent letters like french we just, idk go fast haha)

When it comes to the word ''the'' we got both ''de'' and ''het'' idk if there are even any rules for it?

also when making words ''smaller'' (unsure how to explain this one haha)
like for example the word dog= hond if we're talking about a small dog it becomes hondje we just add those two letters
but for some words the letters that get added are -etje -kje all depending on the word :')

So imo dutch is not one of the easiest languages to learn
but to be fair i see native speakers struggling with some stuff from time to time
and occasionally hear ''how do i spell this?'' from them as well haha.

I feel like the language is kinda lawless at times, some things are just the way they are just?? just because really :')


And the characters do seem more complicated than the latin alphabet, would you say it's difficult for native speakers/writers as well?

And belgium is dutch(flemish?)/french for as far as i know, i know one part speaks french mostly, probably the part closest to france haha.
But i think french might be a mandatory class over there?
Not entirely sure.

@Totalanimefan:
Oh i had no idea that is really cool, thank you for sharing that! ;o;

Like i would've guessed ASL was pretty common but had no idea about FSL and lots of SL being based off that o:
Also 'england being england' lmao

So from what i gathered a big difference between ASL/FSL and BSL would be that BSL uses mostly 2 hands?
(aside from what i guess would be completely different signs in general)

Now it just makes me wonder what we use around here/ what ours is based on
probably FSL then but i''ll have to look it up.

@Priestess of Pie:
Sounds interesting, Always thought latin was a cool language
might check Esperanto out some time even if it's just to see what it looks/sounds like o:

@Hachi: Oh can imagine it would feel awkward then haha. :')
My sister already freaks out when i jokingly speak in dialect towards her lmao.
Ohh sounds like it's a good way to keep up with canto (:

Ah interesting o:
So it would seem like simplified is used more then right?

Yes, haha english got some funky stuff going on sometimes but also * cries in dutch * r i p

Ah so would you say trying to get into reading/writing characters as soon as possible when getting into mandarin would be the best way to go?

Germany is i think, half an hour away maybe? 45 minutes?
and belgium like 5-10 minutes away

When out an about i'd say german is more common than hearing french though
Belgians speaking dutch though (idk if i can call it flemish or if that's more of a specific dialect) , those are everywhere lol.
cause the part of belgium we live close to speaks dutch mostly
Although im willing to bet a lot of them know french pretty well since it's an official language in belgium as well.
