TabbsTheBat (they/them)

Lithuanian! Im not sure if they were loaned from estonian :3 we used to have 10 (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, locative, illative, allative, adessive, and vocative) allative is basically dead outside of a few words like velniop, adessive is just dead (only really seen in old writings) but illative is the interesting one: it’s not used in standard lithuanian outside of some set phrases (kairėn, dešinėn, and in our anthem vardan), but it’s still used in dzūkija and east aukštaitija, so… Yeah that’s some lore :3

Oh if we’re doing a guessing game then…

3 genders technically, though the 3rd one (neuter) is super rare, so it’s basically 2 in practice :3

7 cases in the standard version of my language, 8 in the dialect I speak :3

Well the c being s and k thing comes from latin I think :3 like v and u being the same letter… and I believe i also had a second sound? Plus there’s vowel shifts that happened after the writing was standardized and all that, and characters that no longer exist like Þ and ð

Either way it can be confusing when coming from a language with a fairly regular pronunciation ^^ (though of course we also have some quirks lol)

It really is illogical lol :3 I tried teaching my parents before and trying to explain why all 3 Es in mercedes or all 3 Cs in pacific ocean make different sounds like “they just do”

Though my native language is quite hard for non-native speakers as well

I took english in school, and I speak it all the time :3

The linked website says it is

Laba :3

Lithuanian :3

Here in lithuania we basically get those who lived through the soviet occupation, those who lived through the january 13th, those who lived through the mafias/gangs of the 90s, and gen Z who were born after everything settled down lol

It’s not really related to dry january, but it’s my 2nd time seeing that term this month, and after looking it up to find it’s a real thing, I think it’s a kinda neat (probably) coincidence as the name of january in my native language would roughly translate to “dry month” in english :3

The part where he gets nakey is the best part of every episode :3

I assume it’s about hyprland changing the syntax for window rules like… 6 days ago
