Well, my fellow fedora linguists, wish me luck for tomorrow I'm having a Russian language exam

I was searching that and i found a thing called "The Dave and Gunnar show" but that's more RedHat than Fedora, as i heard

Oh ok, thanks, I`ll look it up...

A lot of influx?

Lots of news, attention and people around me

Spanish is not a regulated language, unlike say German. Everything which is widely used is considered correct.

You're wrong. Spanish is strictly regulated by the RAE. That they make stupid things is another story.

That's really....

There's a Spanish word for watchman... vigilante

Lots of news, attention and people around me

Oh. I used to get that back in the moment when I was still attending family meetings. So annoying.

You're wrong. Spanish is strictly regulated by the RAE. That they make stupid things is another story.

RAE doesn't regulate. They just record what is being used.

Yes, it does.

Grammar at least.

The correct grammars is what is found in the RAE books and dictionaries.

If they would only record, there would no discussion over spellings and whether to accept a word or not.

There's a Spanish word for watchman... vigilante

of course, but venezolans use 'guachimán' and the extended use of the word has entered it in RAE

although outside of Venezuela it is not known

To me sounds so... weird.

I know it because I have worked with venezolans ?

But well, whatever.

and it is a hilarious word

Yeah, indeed

In Spain we say "presidenta"

No. Presidenta is the wrong word. The charge is presidente and it does not denote any gender, the article el or la does. Presidente is a masculine word. El presidente for male, La presidente for female.

That's I what I say.

Yeah, I saw that version in Spanish too. But most of them translate it as "Home alone".

Huh, our version is "Home alone" too.

Oh, no! I remember!

The first versions were "My poor little angel". "Mi pobre angelito".

lol

Not wrong at all

Years later they switched to the original title "Home alone".

But without translating. Just the English title.

Presidente in italy does not have any gender too, but now we've had a senator which wanted to give a female counterpart to every non gender or male words

The first versions were "My poor little angel". "Mi pobre angelito".

btw, do you live in Spain?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Intouchables How is this movie called in your country?

According to Wikipedia "Amigos intocables" (Untouchable friends). But I never seen it, so I can't confirm

Quasi amici (almost friends) in italian

No, in Germany. Why?

Intocable in Spain

Everyone has that because feminism which is a tool of neomarxism.

People with a lot of time to waste. In Spanish there's senador and senadora, so yeah, it has a female counterpart.

Everyone has that because feminism which is a tool of neomarxism.

And because it's easier to make up words rather than solve the real problems.

In italy we already have senatore and senatrice, which is fine

Intocable in Spain

Ah, okay.

And because it's easier to make up words rather than solve the real problems.

HHahahAhaa

Quasi amici (almost friends) in italian

I think there's a movie with that title in Spanish, but not this one.

always the Richard Stallman idea can be used ??: https://stallman.org/articles/castellano-sin-genero.html

all words ending with 'i' ?

it sounds ridiculous

Why so much concern about the language???

But it's silly (to me) to give female counterparts to words that has no gender

There are so many problems that far more serious than this one.

Such a waste of time and money.

Of course

But it's silly (to me) to give female counterparts to words that has no gender

It's silly and sexist.

But it's silly (to me) to give female counterparts to words that has no gender

Specially because they don't look to change when the happens the other way around.

Well, language typically addresses sex as it's necessary for a lot of communication, but there really are some limits! ????

Some insanity IMHO

Well, language typically addresses sex as it's necessary for a lot of communication, but there really are some limits! ????

And what's wrong with addressing others' sex? We all have a gender, right? So why people get so touchy.

Everyone who understand Spanish, please read the books written by Agustín Laje and Nicolás Márquez on that regard.

I just hope to finally move to Spain (or Portugal) in 2018

Well to me is not really a problem, it's just this president is fighting this useless battle

And what's wrong with addressing others' sex? We all have a gender, right? So why people get so touchy.

True but there's just cases where it's just pointless to do so, and it still gets done.

And she's almost fighting this battle alone

Of course.

And what's wrong with addressing others' sex? We all have a gender, right? So why people get so touchy.

These people also claim that there is persons who are genderless and gender fluid etc..

Why?

it's warm and ppl are relaxed :) also homeschooling is not banned (like in Germany)

And she's almost fighting this battle alone

Well, better then. So he'll lose and start looking into real probelms.

basically if I'd be moving somewhere in Europe, where else?

You have some twenty countries where to choose from.

because Spain rocks ?

?

also my whole family is remote, so we don't have constraints like job offers or schools

I didn't understand why you wanna move in the first place

and this automatically means that everything that is north to nothern Italy or France is out of question :P

it's warm and ppl are relaxed :) also homeschooling is not banned (like in Germany)

Well, I don't think homeschooling is a plus in anyway. And about being relaxed... I don't know, I found Dutch quite easy going. I'd like them better.

I didn't understand why you wanna move in the first place

because I live in Ukraine :D (why not to move from here?)

Well, better then. So he'll lose and start looking into real probelms.

Just yesterday she founded a new party and she said it will be based all around feminism

Oh well

Just yesterday she founded a new party and she said it will be based all around feminism

Oh, it's a woman?

that things usually are promoted by women because they say that the language gives priority to men

That's stupid.

Oh, it's a woman?

Yes, my bad not stating it

The whole fucking society gives priority to men.

And they bother for a word?

because neutral words usually are masculine or ending by 'e', that sounds more male than female

They need to rearrange their priorities!

? people are brilliant in the dullest ways

LOL

And they bother for a word?

No she bother because she says women should be equal to men

But

What is great

because neutral words usually are masculine or ending by 'e', that sounds more male than female

Changing a vowel won't prevent women from been raped or help them to get a better salary. This is the typical concern of people who nothing better to worry about.

No she bother because she says women should be equal to men

But one thing has nothing to do with other.

I agree, but it seems that they don't ?
