Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

πŸ€” If...I may... in which sense?

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Mostly financially. Related to hiusing. I don't really wanna get into more details, but I'm essential stuck with my current living situation for the rest of my life, unless I'm willing to lose tens of thousands of dollars (or even more if I try to improve the place I'm currently at instead of cutting my losses and moving at an already big loss). Pressure to secure stable housing for an eventual old age made me make tough decisions that in hindsight were pretty fucking ill-advised.

No worries, no need to go into details at all πŸ‘

I just hope you will find a smooth, not too stressful way to ease everything. I know it is just words from an unknown person, even if for 1 min, it can make you feel better. I will take it.

Resentful.

Probably turning into Bitterness at one point in the future.

I'm the cousin of resentful: spiteful

I would be iődžiausčiau :3

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mostly cause I think the word is fun to say :3

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would say my Lithuanian is bad... so I believe you πŸ˜…

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's fair lol :3

The word is also hard for non-native speakers from what I know :3 it's like a mini tongue twister hehe

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So kind of you πŸ˜‚

I know it is not related to the question but what would it be the worst tongue twister in Lithuanian?

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The one I always fuck up is "Ε‘eΕ‘ios ΕΎΔ…sys su Ε‘eΕ‘iais ΕΎΔ…syčiais"

"Geri vyrai gera gira geroj girioj gΔ—rΔ— ir gerdami gyrΔ— - geriems vyrams gera gira geroj girioj gera gert" is another popular one, but I personally don't struggle as much with it

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

πŸ˜‚ A lot of "Ε‘" and "g" lol.

But at least, there are vowels.

Strč prst skrz krk here you are :) (Slovak) (not my mother tongue, I just know, how to get by, Slovak)

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I know there are some horrifying ones out there with no vowels hahah.. unfortunately lithuanian morphology doesn't allow for them, so ours are a bit more mundane by comparison

[–] Houseofoliviereu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately or fortunately. It is just how a language is. I wonder how the tongue twisters are in German though... 🫣

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only things of german I know are krankenwagen, krankenhaus, kugelschreiber, and "aber ja natΓΌrlich Hans ist nass, er steht unter dem wasserfall" unfortunately, so can't say

At least you know more than me πŸ˜‚

Dismay.

That's my baseline experience to some extent just existing here in this reality, and that it's briefly. Always felt like that.
