Ah yes, my favourite constructed language, Latin Polish

No friend it’s like Tagalog-flavored Slovakian with more noun cases than English.

I mean, that sounds like Polish with extra steps to me

Tell me about it! I wish I remembered it. I learned it pretty well for a while, but had no one to speak it with and it just... Fizzled away. Is there a community on Lemmy, do you know?

tkk13909@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

There is but it's not super active. Unfortunately the most active community I've seen for it is on discord

!esperanto@sopuli.xyz

Thank you! I'll check out discord, too. I haven't left that one yet. ... Should I?

No, he was also an opthalmologist. He had an older brother that was supposed to take over the family despot business but who unfortunately died in a car accident.

On the other hand, can you imagine how many eons of hell Syria’d’ve suffered if they spent a quarter century beneath the heels of the bro who was raised to crush them?

ryedaft@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

Yeah, I wasn't totally sincere about the unfortunately part.

Again, it's ophthalmologist

je la barbo. i have been saying it wrong this whole time

NABDad@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

My wife is an eye doctor. She's an optometrist, not opthalmologist, but she would definitely mock me if I got it wrong ;-)

Was Zamenhof a monster? I don't get it.
