  • Same here with Russian (by the way, fuck putler and fuck his dumb fucking war and victory for, and glory to, Ukraine). It was quite common to use Latin in the 90s and early 00s for SMS because Cyrillic would either not be supported at all or severely reduce the number of characters. Nowadays very few people use Latin, it's more the other way around, the odd foreign word is written in Cyrillic. To me it feels weird to use Latin, because it simply doesn't work very well. See Polish - they have to use weird workarounds that look like czszkzrcz as a replacement for a single ж, ч, щ.

    Interesting to learn about ъ being pronounced like uh in Bulgarian! In Russian it's a modifier like ь and has no sound of its own. Ъ is called "hardness marker" while ь is "softness marker". Not sure about the English translation though.

  • Same cost, same loadout.
  • Flugabwehrkanonenpanzerkampfwagen Gepard

    It literally means "aerial-defense-cannon-armoured-battle-vehicle cheetah". Not shorter in English.

    German doesn't have longer words, it's just that you can stick together existing words to make up new words. For example, "the front door of the house" in German is "Haustür", literally "housedoor". It goes on logically, like "the handle of the front door of the house" is Haustürklinke, literally housedoorhandle. This way it is possible to make up arbitrarily long words which becime ever more specific, just without a tonne of "of" in between.

  • Somehow even worse than construction work in Qatar
  • Even the Swiss have wised up to this.

    Swiss here, believe me, the cowardice of our federal council hiding behind nEuTrALitY pisses me off to no end

    I wish we would go all in in supporting Ukraine. Our neutrality does not extend to violations of international law. Acting like it does is a cowardly political decision supported by ultra rich motherfuckers who hope to continue getting richer and richer through trading with the mafia that is the Russian state
