Turkish has a different verb tense for something you personally witnessed vs heard second hand or inferred, and I really appreciate that
What the fuck, the English stole everything that wasn’t bolted down and they didn’t take THAT with them? PRIORITIES, guys. Skip the French crap and integrate THIS
We can still do it. Time to ask what the turkish word is so we can integrate them into our Frankenstein language
I looked it up earlier and don’t remember the exact characters so forgive the romanization but it’s basically changing “di” to “mis” at the end of verbs.
“It rained” vs “apparently it rained” when you did not actually see it raining but the sidewalk is wet.
“Ali is sick” vs “Ali is supposedly sick” when you did not confirm it (or perhaps doubt Ali’s claim??)
Thanks for making it clearer. Just to add actual turkish so people can see properly :
Yağmur yağdı > It rained
Yağmur yağmış > It’s been said that it rainedAli hasta > Ali is sick
Ali hastamış > It’s been said that Ali is sickYağmur > rain
yağ > to spread/to rain
dı > past indicator
mış > second person reporting, pasthasta > sick
Hey for no reason in particular, what is that word?
They said it’s a tense, not a specific word
Ok but like what if they just relaxed and said it
Worse part is when a headline of an article like that is posted on social media and everyone just takes it at face value, especially if they agree with it.
SCIENTIST FOUND EVIDENCE THAT THE MULTIVERSE IS REAL
New experimental observations regarding macroscopic quantum mechanical systems are found to be consistent with the many-worlds interpretation.
I hear that. I’ve had many discussions where people link their claims and their link does not back them up or outright contradicts them. But they keep on making their claim.
I got sent so many tiktoks or other short form media where someone explains something that they read, and they sound really smart and all. Sometimes i read up the source and what they got out of it was just plain wrong or misinterpreted. Someone once said: smart people aren’t on tiktok, truly smart people don’t have the time, they write the stuff that people make tiktoks about.
