A good rule of thumb is to set each machine/website to its original language (English in most cases). Because when you set your devices to english then sites and apps will also try to change to english and that usually sucks for government websites for example.

This might have been a link, not a search but still, enjoy.

Haha well the English have already butchered that name with the new spelling. They can have their pronunciation

Thanks again for organizing this and being so active and encouraging with everyone :)

Honestly that was the best part, thinking of a design and then seeing all the other interpretations of the prompt you hadn’t thought of. Thanks for all your positive feedback throughout this event. It reminded me how fun drawing can be again.

Pretty sure that’s Aristotle. But apparently the plural in Nahuatl is axolomeh so it doesn’t work either

True, cause that’s not how you pronounce axolotl

Lol

I just love how you always have something positive to say :)

Ngl it was a bit risky. Don’t think it messed up anything though so the end result might be fine :D

Along with the orangutan at the front this gives some Discworld vibes.

I’ve never seen fireflies either (don’t know if they were ever common around here) but I would’ve loved to catch some in a jar as a kid, and then release them of course.

I prefer to use a photo I took and then build the rest of the desktop theme around it. Then again you end up looking at the desktop very little so it doesn’t matter too much.

Thanks! Honestly didn’t expect it to turn out this good

And when there are lights it takes so long to pass through them because you have to take a huge detour around the cars and wait at multiple lights.

Yeah Lingonaut might be it, it was something new. If you are on a good level you could try some content outside of lessons. There is !suomiblogit@sopuli.xyz here where I can’t understand anything yet but maybe you’ll have more luck.

To be fair the same happens in Spanish with most acronyms

I’m currently using duolingo which is usually good enough but kinda sucks in this case. There was an app mentioned here that had Finnish as one of its first languages and could be good but sadly I didn’t save it. If anyone remembers it please do say.

Learning something completely new is humbling. I started learning Finnish for the grammar but have spent so much time on vocabulary it’s annoying. I hadn’t realized just how many roots indo-european languages share that Finnish doesn’t.

Just finished Nation by Terry Pratchett and it was one of the most intense books I’ve read this year. It’s supposed to be YA so didn’t expect it to be this dark but it really pulls you in. If you like Terry Pratchett definitely give it a read.
