I forgot that conference fatigue is a whole different beast from regular fatigue

又来了个啥呀？

Most papers: data 🙂‍↕️ analysis 🙂‍↕️ we win!! 🥳

My paper: look I KNOW this looks like the worst possible solution I could possibly propose. Please bear with me as I rule literally everything else out

Qu'est-ce que coded. Delightful!!

"Casual Friday is for comfortable clothes" then why are you wearing jeans, the objectively stiffest and least comfortable pants

Just learned that samosas are not both the fried snack and the drink. The drink is a mimosa. Please respect my privacy in this difficult time.

NEEEEEEEEEE

I want more people from my department to get on here and start posting, maar niet de Nederlander, anders ga hij al mijn fouten in het Nederlands zien.

Thank you Somin Park for providing this explanation!!!

This is actually the exact opposite of what Wiktionary reports. I imagine there's variation in both use and sociolinguistic evaluation of these forms. I'm wondering how each form is independently evaluated, cf. IN ~ ING in English(es).

THE PLOT THICKENS! According to a Korean classmate, diphthongization is required with some but not all morphemes:

/pusu-ʌs͈-ʌjo/ can be [pusuʌs͈ʌjo] ~ [puswʌs͈ʌjo] (as below)
/pusu-ʌjo/ must be [puswʌjo]!

My left index finger is all bandaged up right now, so if you needed me to type the letters R, T, F, G, V, or B, no you didn't.

DRAMA!

Nice, thanks! The [ɕʌ], from /sjʌ/ I'm assuming? reminds me of the /CwV/ -> [CjV] synchronically active in isiXhosa.

Korean knowers, is diphthongization of adjacent vowels optional in verbal inflection?

e.g. I'm seeing different sources online say 부수었어요 ~ 부쉈어요 [pu.su.ʌs͈.ʌ.jo] ~ [pu.swʌs͈.ʌ.jo] 'broke'. Not sure if I'm reading the sources wrong.

Is this variation real, and if so, is it known what conditions it?

Just learned that pacifier isn't [pəˈsɪfiɚ]. Please respect my privacy in this difficult time.

I didn't think I had a pin/pen merger but I guess I do. I caught myself saying, instead of centimeters, I said cinnameters, which I guess are cinnamon-flavored meters.

Contra is a very experimental linguistics word, I think. The acquisitionists and neurolinguists and psycholinguists love saying things contra other people.

Other quotes:

"Do you guys not taste pineapple?"
"It tastes like a really bad unripe mango."
"It tastes like pawpaw"
"I'm getting notes of bubblegum." "Yeah, I'm getting like bubblegum esters."

@absp.bsky.social The mystery flavor is nice! It tastes kind of like every citrus fruit simultaneously. Maybe a hint of mango or something floral.

I didn't know when they fill your prescription they are literally making the pills from scratch. I was like what's taking them so long I feel bad now.

Whatever I write on the exam tomorrow is not reflective of my character.

Aha! It's the impersonal construction (Law 2010)! Thanks to Katherine (whose last name I don't know) and Jed Sam Pizarro-Guevara for pointing me in the right direction

Anyone familiar with Tagalog who can answer:

Makita normally marks the seer with the "ng" case: Nakita *ko* siya.

But in this existential sentence, why is the seer in the "ang" case? May nakikita *akong* katiwalian sa transaksiyon.
