WTW for sound based anagrams?

Bonus: if there's also a word for when this effect happens across two languages.

For instance, in Japanese the word for love is Daisuke. I noticed you can take the words Dye and Skii, put them together, and it will sound like the word Daisuke.

Another example of this in Japanese is the word Gaijin which means foreigner. This can also be broken down phonteically using the english words Guy Jean.

Top 6000 TOPIK Korean vocabulary word list (English + Hanja included): Release

Hi all,

First of all, Happy New Year! I wish you all the best and hope that this coming one will be better than the two previous ones. Here's a gift to keep up the spirit of those making the best out of the situation.

In short, this is my modification to the TOPIK 6000 most frequent Korean words list which takes the most common words used in publications and internet articles, etc..

For those that do not know, TOPIK is short for "Test of Proficiency in Korean"; the organization that devises the Korean language proficiency test, equivalent to the JLPT and TOEFL.

As promised in my last set of posts, I worked a bit on the list to correct the English translations, but I am open to further feedback.

To avoid the triggering the filters, I will post the link in the comments.

About me:

I am a non-Korean, non-learner who has learned Japanese for over a decade who wanted to get what this mysterious language called Korean was about, understand some of the basics and come out slightly wiser.

Last November, I discovered Hangul and managed to learn how to read it fairly easily. A list of words was a good way to practice reading with some actual examples while knowing what they mean.

This what caused me to come across the TOPIK list.

View on Korean writing system:

Should be clear by now and this list should help those that share my view, namely that Korean writing makes less sense and leaves more room for ambiguity with the Hanja removed.

The decision was taken following the Korean war by both the communist dictatorship in the North under Kim Il Sung and the non-communist dictatorship in the South under Park Chung-hee for mostly nationalistic reasons against the advice of much of Korean academia.

Before this, the so-called Korean mixed script was used which employed Hangul for native Korean words and Hanja for Sino-Korean words.

Hangul has an interesting local history and is concise, allowing it to be easily picked up. I love how simple it is, and recognize that orthography has been amended to make sure it keeps at least some consistency with its original roots in Hanja.

It was however never meant to completely supplant Hanja which had been a part of Korea for over a millennium. Aside from over 50% of the vocabulary, Korean names, place names, expressions, cultural concepts were not just written in Hanja but were themselves Sino-Korean words.

Essentially a large part of the identity of the Korean language was ripped out for shortsighted,

> Pass here, it's dead, meant so much to my girl, the

> silly crazy to hop up here and down there,

> On you be the curse of the blind and dead shade

Written English 101

(Author’s note:  Time measurements converted to «human readable» for ease of reading.)

—————

“English is, bluntly, ugly,” Professor Gishpior Kytanealri said, the Magaavish instructor using the language in question. “Its grammatical structures are similar enough to ours and most of the phonemes match pretty well, but unlike Magaavish, it is a mishmash of over half a dozen root languages. All of which were arguably worse. And those are just the languages English draws from; there are plenty more around Earth that were entirely separate. And worse. German comes from one of the same roots as English. French comes from a different common root with English. Both are hideous to learn. I know, I tried. Formal and familiar address, intrinsically gendered objects, it’s the stuff of linguistic nightmares,” he said with a shudder. “And don’t even get me started on Finnish, or on languages like Japanese, which doesn’t even have an alphabet. Same for Chinese, which comes in both traditional and simplified written forms for ostensibly the same language. English is a cakewalk compared to all of that.”

“Sir, isn’t English one of the most widely spoken languages in the Orion Tetrad?” asked one of his students, also in English as per the requirements of the class.

“One of the most widely spoken, yes, it is, and that’s mainly because its spoken form (aside from a handful of homophones) is surprisingly straightforward compared to its written form. But if you asked anyone aside from the Terrans or maybe the Vastruuri to actually write in English, they would give you something that looked like it was written by a «five year old». Even humans themselves need «six or more years» to become really proficient in their written language.”

The professor paused there for the anticipated uproar from his students. Cries of “impossible”, “ridiculous”, and “that can’t be right” came from around the lecture hall. He could hardly blame them; Magaavish could usually be mastered — full mastery, not just proficiency — in less than half that, even to non-native speakers. He let the class work the worst of the outburst out before raising a hand to silence everyone.

“Sir, doesn’t it only take the Vastruuri «three years» to master English in its written form?” one student asked.

“It does, but they’re linguistic prodigies. They master English faster than they do Vastruuri, but theirs is a highly nuanced and complex language. It’s elegant and precise. Magaavish

The Chinese Mandarin language —is it really that difficult? First Impressions and comparison with Japanese.

Hello there, I'm interested in Mandarin and I wish to learn it. I've heard many people saying things about how hard and hellish it is to learn this language. However, my first impression when investigating a little bit about it is that people often exaggerate.

I want opinions from those who learn it/speak it but let me elaborate first. Keep in mind that this comes from someone who already speaks both Spanish and English at proficient levels, as well as Japanese at JLPT N3 —which I want to make comparisons with.

The Hanzi

While it is true that it's a massive number of them that you must learn, they are actually intuitive and the more you learn, the more you can understand. While in Japanese the number of Kanji you need to learn to be proficient is lower, nearly all Japanese Kanji have at least two if not more different readings (音読み and 訓読み, On'yomi and Kun'yomi).

This can be quite confusing as there are no strict rules about what reading is used in each word, as there are multiple On'yomi readings (the readings used in compound words, those with more than one character) and, sometimes, different compound words might use the Kun'yomi reading instead, which is used for simple words. It's a way more messy and complicated system in my opinion.

In Chinese, however, the Hanzi act in more straightforward and clear ways, as almost all of them only have one meaning and one reading. Another thing that is also worth mentioning is that, unlike Japanese, Chinese doesn't have any secondary or tertiary writing alphabetical or syllabic system like Hiragana or Katakana in Japanese, both of which allow to phonetically spell all words without the ideograms.

This makes Chinese harder to read if one is not literate enough in the necessary number of Hanzi. Japanese forgives you when writing in the sense that you can write a word which kanji you don't know in Hiragana and still be understood, and there's also Furigana when reading, which is the kanas written next to the Kanji to clarify the reading (this is commonly found in children's books, mangas, or texts with specifical terms).

Chinese doesn't have any of this (Unless you want to consider Pinyin as such). Nonetheless, I believe that although harder, it's easier to advance and learn more in Chinese compared to Japanese.

Unlike Japanese and its more forgiving writing system (and fewer used characters), Chinese forces you much more to learn its Hanzi, and their straightforward nature means that you don't need to me

[Translation] BAND-MAID NIPPON: Episode 5 (2021-12-08)

This is a 20-minute regular radio show by Miku Kobato and Saiki on Nippon Broadcasting System, a sister company of their label Pony Canyon, from 21:00 to 21:20 on December 8, 2021 JST.

Note: they often talk simultaneously. The dot-dot-dot at the end usually means the sentence continues, rather than a pause.

​


BAND-MAID NIPPON

(Jingle: Honkai)

00:16 Kobato: Welcome back home, masters and princesses. I’m Miku Kobato, the guitarist-vocalist of Band-Maid, po.

00:22 Saiki: I’m Saiki, the vocalist.

00:23 Kobato: You are now listening to BAND-MAID NIPPON by the hard rock band Band-Maid, po!

00:29 Saiki: Yes.

00:29 Kobato: Now, there’s only a little left this year, po.

00:33 Saiki: Oh, you’re right!

00:34 Kobato: I’ve just realized that.

00:35 Saiki: What’s this? (laughs)

00:36 Kobato: You know, somehow, isn’t it fast, po?

00:39 Saiki: It’s fast.

00:40 Kobato: Right?

00:41 Saiki: Somehow… Already?

00:43 Kobato: Already?

00:45 Saiki: A little weird…

00:45 Kobato: It’s weird, po, right?

00:46 Saiki: A little weird.

00:46 Kobato: It feels like space-time is a little distorted, po (laughs). [Note: BLACK HOLE.]

00:47 Saiki: A little weird (laughs).

00:50 Kobato: Well, this year, I think there were probably goals or something we set at the beginning, po. Is there anything you’ve left behind about the band or yourself, po?

01:03 Saiki: Hmm?!

01:04 Kobato: This year.

01:05 Saiki: This year?

01:06 Kobato: In the year 2021.

01:07 Saiki: There are full of things left behind (laughs).

01:09 Kobato: Well, right, it was hard, um, it’s so different from our lives up to the beginning of 2020… I mean up to 2019…

01:16 Saiki: Yes.

01:19 Saiki: That’s right.

01:20 Kobato: Quite different.

01:21 Saiki: Also this year, we couldn’t do in-person concerts.

01:24 Kobato: We couldn’t, po.

01:26 Kobato: Last year, at the end of last year, we were like, this year, “Next year, in 2021, we’d like to do in-person concerts, servings”…

01:34 Saiki: We want to.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Check My Work/Zodiac Killer Z13 Solution

Hi guys,

To sum up: It looks like taking his name James Vaughn Jr through the Tabula Recta table using Keyword AdolfHitler then using homophonic substitution cipher such as his 340 key produces interesting results.

I am looking to have my work checked out on the Zodiac Z13. I feel that I have some interesting observations on the code.

Here we go.

As mentioned previously I believe the answer/name to be JamesVaughnJr

The letter containing his name was mailed on April 20, 1970. Hitlers birthday.

I used am using keyword: ADOLFHITLER for this

I first tried using a standard Viginere table and translated the name into this:

AEQOJMATNBLQ

First two letters broke correctly but still wasn't enough so I used/tried using a table called the "Tabula Recta".

Very similar to the Viginere table but you get slightly different results.

AEAPXCINRLEAI --

AEAHXCINRLEAU -- Forgot how I got this one actually.

ADAPXCINRLEAU --

Notice the A in the second to last place is in the correct spot now.

The full code looks like this:

https://preview.redd.it/7flzuqjznea81.png?width=822&format=png&auto=webp&s=78f49d993453b2681a894f03bb14375e8f0f2873

Notice the symmetry from the N to the N in the middle.

I will take this one: ADAPXCINRLEAU

Notice the LE at the end. Now I used the 340 key he used in the Z340 a homophonic substitution cipher.

https://preview.redd.it/1oa9rzxaoea81.jpg?width=1728&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc063c76087b226f1e016bcb5a398ce999283193

Notice that the "L" becomes the upside down "T" in the code.

Notice that the E then becomes the N.

I tried using the key from the Z408 he used but no luck there so if anyone is able to find anything from that please comment.

Other intersting things of note:

You will see what almost looks like 888 within circles. My theory is that this could be an interpretation of his acts on the behalf of God. 888 is an old number for Christ. Not sure just theorizing.

Notice the position of the "N". N is the 14th letter of the alphabet.

Theory: N = 14 followed by two 8's. = 1488 = Neo Nazi number This is symmetrical with the flip side of the code which is 8841.

Notice the K and M in the middle. This guys favorite book was Main Kampf written by Adolf Hitler. If you switch the K and M is becomes the initials of Main Kampf = MK

14 = 14 words (however not sure when they started using this, but the number 14 is on the Halloween card the Zodiac s

Find Laura: Part 4E

Part 4E

|| Starting Positions ||

Last time we reviewed how the scene of DougieCoop’s arrival at the Jones house not only echoed earlier scenes in Season 3 and Season 2, but also featured structural similarities with Lynch’s Mulholland Dr. film as well.

This structure’s constant repetition identifies it, in our analysis, as representative of a Primal Scene. Based on our criteria established thus far, Primal Scenes originally appear in either FWWM or the Missing Pieces.

And actually, we already did identify a “primal” source for the scene of DougieCoop’s arrival at the Jone’s house, back at the Silver Mustang when Slot Lady gave DougieCoop the finger.

Laura’s rejection of James in the woods, her flipping him off, was echoed in the Slot Lady’s flipping off DougieCoop as he (correctly) pointed her toward a winning machine.

This in turn is why James’s entrance into the Roadhouse (and Shelly’s admiring response to it as noted in Part 4A) is so important. The return of James coincides with the return of Cooper, but that is not just coincidental.

If you think about it, in FWWM James did hold the solution, or at least an escape, from Laura’s problems. They could have just got back on his motorcycle and left Twin Peaks, as James ends up doing by himself in Season 2.

But in FWWM Laura screamed when she thought she saw something in the woods, and the fear of BOB took over as she hardened her heart against James and rejected his sincere-if-innocent offer of love.

https://preview.redd.it/6casj21zyd381.jpg?width=1158&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a2e6403981bcd44f9ad22739a8672130907ec54

That fear of BOB is one of the main points we’ve been documenting in this series, along with seeing someone where you don’t expect them. The scene of the two of them in the woods from FWWM contains both these elements.

Prior to flipping off James in the woods, when they first got off of the motorcycle in the clearing, James, trying to console her, says to Laura in empathy, “Oh, Laura.” She mockingly repeats back to him the same thing he said.

Then she slaps him.

Like James for Laura in FWWM, DougieCoop holds the key to solving Janie-E’s problems but she can’t see it, at least not yet. Mr. Jackpot’s winnings are

As a LPL native fan, if I introduce some LPL memes by teams,I wanna know how many people here will be intrested.

This is my first reddit post. I reckon our memes created in forums are so amusing,its a pity unable to spread.

OK, i will update in this post.I started watching LOL games in 2012,all following contents are from my memories.For you all can understand them, I will try to choose those memes not related to Chinese characters and pronunciation.

WE: lets begin with WE because WE is one of the olddest 2 teams in CN which was also the first super popular team in CN.(but not good in worlds like CJ in OGN)

  • "Six billion" Six billion is a troll name of WE fans, which origined from Kobe Bryant' fans. At that time Kobe was very very very popular in China so other fans said they had 6 billion people (there were about 6 billion people in 2000s). Then WE had also many fans so we just call them in the same way. And we call OMG fans "5.9billion" next yaer.
  • "resist stress" Its the most popular meme of WE, even became the name of the CN biggest forum about lol games later. In the Caomei/Clearlove/Misaya/Weixiao/fzzf team, WE always gave Caomei a sand bag role, and fans called it "resist stress", while haters thought Caomei was troll. Then they created a new tieba(a forum) to trash WE and named it "resist stress".
  • "struggle to death, go away tonight" Indeed its an idiom i dont know how to translate. After WE unable to make to worlds in 2013, Clealove thought Caomei and Misaya too bad so he wanted to go to another team but he was still during the contract period,then he said that words to other teammates and established EDG somehow.Its said the transaction was illegal so Clearlove was seen as a traitor.
  • "Five years plan" OK its a Chinese national development plan. And we trash WE of it beacause WE only makes it to worlds in 2012 and 2017. We also say WE will get worlds championship in S13 because S13 looks like SB(idiot in Chinese).
  • "Beishang the 4th uncle" it origins from Ning and Tian,they were trolling fast after got FMVP,we say they are too old to play so call them the 1st uncle and the 2nd uncle, so we call "Canyon" the 3rd uncle.And WE fans called Beishang thr 4th uncle at a period when Beishang played well then they were beaten 1-12 in playoffs.

IG: IG is another olddest team, in fact it had better gardes than WE in almost years but before 2018 IG was just seen as a clown.After 2018 it rebecame the 1of 2 most popular teams ( another is RNG)

  • "dog's son" In a trashing WE forum,a WE fan said "I will fuck you dogs son if you trash WE again",then we call

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Streak 265 : mot qui existe en français

Il y a un mot qui existe en français et en mandarin. Je pense que leurs prononciations sont très similaire et que leurs utilisations sont parfois les mêmes. Ils ne sont pas des mots translittérés mutuelles. Et ce sont des mots très courants.

Ce sont >!le « de » et le « 的 »!<.

C'est le lien de la prononciation de mot mandarine et le lien de son sens.

>!Par exemple « une amie *de* mon voisin », nous disons « 我鄰居*的*朋友 ».!<

^(Au moins, je pense qu'ils se ressemblent.😳)

The Plight of Cain, Part 1:

The following is an exegesis of Genesis chapter 4, and how it relates to the archetypal Cain within each of us, as it relates to egotism, and evil. However, although Cain, like all biblical archetypes, exist in each of us, Cain also describes people who are archetypally aggrandizing in their lifestyles, and so describes social elites.

1. And the man knew Eve his wife; and she conceived and bore Cain, and said: 'I have gotten a man with the LORD.'

Language is fundamental to biblical interpretation. Adam means "transcendental consciousness". What is translated here as man is the word Adam. So 'transcendental consciousness' 'knew' Eve. Eve literally means 'living one', and so refers to the body. Keeping in mind what happened in the last chapter - eating from the tree of good and evil - the body, or Eve, contains energies from both goodness and evil. The transcendental consciousness of the mind is befuddled about what is coherent from what is incoherent. It is now operating without a sense of right or wrong thinking, feeling, or acting. It doesn't know how to relate to its body. So "Adam knew Eve" means, "reflection reflected on the pre-reflective feelings in the body", and something "came out" of it. What did he get? Literally, "I have gotten a man"...the Lord. The word for "gotten" is 'caniti' - which is what the name Cain is derived from (hence, Cain means, roughly, "acquirer"). There is no word "help" here, although translators often interpolate such a word to make it grammatically sensible. But that's not the point. The new consciousness being born is "I have GOTTEN" something...."A man" i.e. I am an individual now. The transcendental consciousness and the body, now poorly discriminated, produces egotism - the individualized man. And so, why does YHWH appear right after man? Because YHWH is the logical structure of the world. YHWH makes this response what it is. It's cause and effect. It is what it is because the coherency within the world makes this consequence what it is.

2 And again she bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

The bible doesn't waste words. It is succinct and logically to the point. If the disordered consciousness produces Cain, what is its "twin"? Dissociation, or more simply, the attitude of "I don't care". We see both these attitudes present in todays society, sometimes within the exact same people. I've seen too many speeches to even name by very well known people -

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Lojban, constructed languages and NLP

Lojban is a constructed language that aims at clarity. As a language it is less syntactically ambiguous, contains no homophones and has many other features intended to reduce both semantic and grammatical ambiguity.

The big problem with trying to train an NLP on Lojban is, of course, is corpus size and scale. Although many side by side translations texts into Lojban exist, they have nothing like the scope that would be necessary to teach a neural net a language.

I think it's entirely possible that, if we did have a large enough corpus, a computer trained on Lojban might be able to achieve things a standard machine learning setup can't. Still we run into that fundamental barrier, corpus size.

I can't help but think though that there is something here- an opportunity for a skilled research team in this area, if only they could locate it. Perhaps some intermediate case, like Esperanto, might be more possible?

Daughter: I'm hungry

This is a 20-minute regular radio show by Miku Kobato and Saiki on Nippon Broadcasting System, a sister company of their label Pony Canyon, from 21:00 to 21:20 on December 1, 2021 JST.

Note: they often talk simultaneously. The dot-dot-dot at the end usually means the sentence continues, rather than a pause.

BAND-MAID NIPPON

(Jingle: Honkai)

00:16 Kobato: Welcome back home, masters and princesses. I’m Miku Kobato, the guitarist-vocalist of Band-Maid, po.

00:22 Saiki: I’m Saiki, the vocalist.

00:23 Kobato: You are now listening to BAND-MAID NIPPON by the hard rock band Band-Maid, po!

00:29 Saiki: Yes.

00:30 Kobato: Well, it’s gotten cold, po, right?

00:33 Saiki: It’s cold! I’m surprised.

00:34 Kobato: Winter suddenly came.

00:36 Saiki: It’s already winter.

00:37 Kobato: (laughs) “It’s already winter”?

00:38 Saiki: Already.

00:39 Kobato: Did we have fall, po?

00:41 Saiki: Fall lasted…

00:42 Kobato: Uh-huh.

00:43 Saiki: In my opinion…

00:44 Kobato: Uh-huh.

00:45 Saiki: Two days.

00:46 Kobato: Two days!

00:46 Saiki: I think it lasted for two days.

00:48 Kobato: Really?!

00:49 Saiki: Yeah.

00:49 Kobato: I, Kobato, didn’t really feel fall, po.

00:52 Saiki: You know, after hot days, the weather was like fall for about two days…

00:56 Kobato: Yeah.

00:57 Saiki: Then it kept raining, I remember.

00:59 Kobato: You’re right, po. This year, we had two or three rainy seasons, po, right?

01:03 Saiki: Hmm, in fact, the rainy season went on throughout?… (laughs)

01:06 Kobato: (laughs) That might be so, po.

01:07 Saiki: … Just like that, maybe.

01:08 Kobato: You’re right, po. We had seasons in between the rainy season…

01:10 Saiki: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

01:11 Kobato: … Like, only a little.

01:12 Saiki: Right, like, I felt seasons only when it was clear…

01:15 Kobato: Yeah, certainly, po.
