[13:45:12] <Ingar> google translate is so useless fro french
[13:45:44] <Ingar> it really doesn't understand when I want Tu or Vous
[13:46:12] <Ingar> ofc I blame English with their you
[13:49:54] <chromas> Try adding a few more psilenht lehttres
[14:02:18] <Ingar> french uses second person plural as the polite form of second person singular
[14:03:09] <Ingar> english uses you for both, google consistently translates you as "vous"
[14:03:36] <Ingar> dutch being the superior language doesnt have the issue becuase we have a separate word for the polite form of 'you'
[14:04:15] <Ingar> totally unrelated, I also bought a kilogram of fancy belgian pralines
[14:04:20] <Ingar> cheers
[19:25:58] <AlwaysNever> Spanish uses "usted" as polite form of "tu"
[19:26:43] <AlwaysNever> usted being a contraction of "vuetra merced", which means "your mercy"
[19:28:07] <AlwaysNever> is classical Spanish, "vos" was used just like "vous" in French, in Argentina they kept that usage
[19:35:57] <AlwaysNever> "tu", naturally, conjugates its verb in the second person singular
[19:36:33] <AlwaysNever> "usted", conjugates its verb in the third ("he") person of the singular
[19:39:41] <AlwaysNever> "vos" conjugates its verbs in the second person plugar ("you-plural")
[19:40:12] <AlwaysNever> *plural
[19:41:26] <AlwaysNever> so for the verb "cantar" (to sing), it is "tu cantas" but also "usted canta" and "vos cantáis"
[19:42:10] <AlwaysNever> this is why is Spanish you can skip saying the subject in oral and written form, because the verbal form gives it away
[19:43:46] <AlwaysNever> it is a common ocurrency for native English speakers to insist in always saying the subject, which inmeditelly exposes them as "gringos"
[19:51:12] <AlwaysNever> this makes understanding Spanish hard for beginners, unless you know your verbs, because in spoken Spanish you will very rarely hear "you" or "I" (they are skipped) to understand where the conversation is going

[20:47:27] <systemd> ^ 03Where do Western Europeans stand on Europe’s relationship with the USA?
[21:27:04] <AlwaysNever> Donaldo Trumpo is puting out such a show, he may singlehandedly crash Netflix as an obsolete source of entertainment
[21:29:47] <chromas> Netflix is already obsolete
[21:31:11] <chromas> They had all the media once, then everyone saw how much stonks they were making and pulled their licenses and created 50 other streaming services, so now they're useless
[21:35:28] <Runaway> All these archaic languages - if the world would just use English, we could all appreciate complaints about it.
[21:35:30] <chromas> now they just make race-swapped documentaries
[21:36:21] <Runaway> There are no races, that is a societal construct, except of course, the white race. We need to kill all the whites.
[21:42:19] <chromas> There's also apparently the "brown" race. Lefttards keep saying "brown people" when they mock what they think righttards motivations are
[21:42:38] <chromas> Even the Technology Connections guy called them brown people, even though they're actually orange with context
[21:50:01] <chromas> in my state, we only have sales tax, but they're always trying to get us to vote in an income tax. Now they're doing it by "taxing the millionaires"
[21:50:28] <chromas> They can't tax just millionaires though, so it'll be everyone, with a million dollar standard deduction
[21:53:57] <chromas> Tax the money when you get it, tax the money when you spend it. Thanks government
[22:26:33] <AlwaysNever> you forgto tax the money when you inherit it
[22:27:18] <chromas> government always dipping its hand into my pocket

[22:35:44] <systemd> ^ 03Why Woodworkers Suck at Design
[23:00:51] <AlwaysNever> the government basically taxes any money "in the move", whatever the movement may be
[23:01:49] <chromas> The problem is the money "in the move" toward the government in the form of taxes isn't itself being taxed. We need to tax the taxes!
