List of diminutives by language Puns

For example, starting with Spanish:

The common diminutive suffix is "-ito/ita" for example "pregunta > preguntita" "cosa > cosita" "cerveza > cervesita"

However I know in Spain, there seems to often be a preference for "-illo/a" for example "pregunta > preguntilla" "cosa > cosilla" "cerveza > cervesilla"

and I believe in some parts of Latin America (namely Costa Rico & Colombia) sometimes "-ico/a" is used, e.g. gato > gatico, but not 100% sure on this one.

Moving along, in Dutch the common suffix is "-tje/je" for example "bier > biertje" "vraag > vraagje" "koffie > koffietje"

In Belgian-Dutch/Flemish though, you see "-ke" so "bier > bierke" "koffie > koffieke" and so on and so forth.

In Italian there's two such suffixes, but I think there determined by the word-flow/sound, rather than regionally specific.

"etto/a" and "ino/a"

Casa > Casetta

Ora > Oretta

Cucchiaio > cucchiaino

cane > cagnolino

I've noticed some languages are rife with diminutive suffixes. For example, Spanish has "ito" or "illo" to append to many nouns and Dutch puts "je" or "tje" (apologies if it is not spelled this way, I'm remembering from a semester in the Netherlands many years ago). But when I think about Hebrew, I can't think of a native diminutive suffix. So why do some languages take diminutives (even going as far as having diminutives of nouns take on entirely new meanings) while others don't?

We try to do OPOL, and I'm the Spanish speaker. I find myself speaking almost exclusively in diminutives: gatito, agüita, sopita, etc. I noticed today that my kid seems to understand what I'm saying, but words like "gatito" and "barquito" are both "ito." Should I switch to just using the regular noun instead of the diminutive?

While I was writing a comment on diminutives on another subreddit I came to the conclusion that the word "mother" has the most diminutives of any word in Slovak.

And I was wondering, whether this is in every language or only in Slovak? So, what about your language or the language you are learning? How many diminutives (also negative, if you have such diminutives) for "mother" are there? (or if there is another word than mother that has more diminutives, let us know, it would be an interesting find)

Here is my list of diminutives for mother in Slovak (probably not complete):

matka - cold, formal, nobody calls his mother like this except on forms, documents and in very formal/office/statistical situations

mater - could be poetic (but also derogatory, so be careful)

mať - only used in poetry, literature and speeches; also, probably the most prominent homonym, mať means "to have" as well.

matička - poetic (matička Zem/mother Earth)

matinka - poetic/archaic

mama - used mostly when you are talking about other mothers and not your mother, or about motherhood etc. I have never called my mother mama eye-to-eye - except when I was learning to speak and ma ma pa pa da da were the only sounds I could spit out. I and most of my friends call our mothers eye-to-eye: mamka, mami, mamik, mamina or mamička. But we say Moja mama je doma/My mother is at home. - when we talk about our mother to somebody else and about some regular information.

mami (probably from Czech vocative case, but in Slovak we use it instead of mama as a deminutive, when we want to sound more warm, mama sound a little cold and formal for us for some reason)

mamik or mamík - a less common variant of mami, but people use it

mamka (probably the most frequent diminutive that is used even by adults all the time, I like it the most as welll)

mamko - a demin

Personally I really enjoy these videos to see people's reactions and they give me motivation to learn more myself.

To start of the list I think the most popular would probably be:

Laoshu505000 - Seems to be pretty fluent in 4+ languages and often speaks Chinese, Cantonese and Japanese but is conversational in 20+ other languages to varying degree.

Wouter Corduwener - Dutch guy, conversational in 10+ languages.

Xiaomanyc - Chinese. Quite famous it seems and gets often gets randomly in his videos.

Others:

JAYKEEOUT x VWVB - Korean mostly, has a few videos like surprising people sometimes with guests that speak more.

Ikenna - He speaks at least English, Japanese, Russian, French, Dutch, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. (thanks u/Smuggle03)

Oriental Pearl - Chinese and Japanese (thanks u/hyperloopbro)

Exactly what the title says. i know hacker rank has this on their site. but i want to also do something on the side. maybe a calculator on day one and something else on day two. if you have a list please share!

For example, the word "Kitab" is Arabic for "book" and you find it in use in Urdu, Farsi, Turkish, Indonesian, Bosnian, Malay, Rohingya, Swahili, etc. Also, the word "Fa'idah" is Arabic for "Benefit" and you find that in Urdu (and Hindi), Turkish, Farsi, Swahili, Indonesian, Bashkir, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew of more words like this.

I mean cute forms of words for my language. I also want to make a baby talk for it, and I'm looking for tips on how to and to get a wider perspective from other languages.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers

The German language is full of patterns: some simple rules that explain, more or less reliably, how pieces of the language work.

I've been trying to understand and memorize countless da-words and wo-words individually, until today I learned the pattern behind them ("da[r]{Präposition}"="{Präposition} das"; "wo[r]{Präposition}"="{Präposition} was"). Memorizing them was a wast of time, since the pattern is so simple and reliable. Until now I thought each of those words corresponded to a unique, unguessable adverb...

I wish to find a cheat sheet for the German language, something that doesn't go into details at all, but simply lists the patterns so that I will know, when I encounter something new, whether I need to memorize it or if there's a simple rule to infer the meaning.

Examples of what I consider a "pattern" are the da- and wo-words, the gender of various noun endings, the grammar structure for various tenses, some rules about cases and declinations etc. Of course I already know these ones and I'm especially interested in patterns I'm not aware of yet.

the mother is young and beautiful and accused of murdering a man. she is to be executed publicly before an uproarious crowd delighted to see her hang. her face is impassive till the end. the secret that she takes to her grave is, she had never committed the murder at all. It was actually her little daughter who had killed the man in self-defence though being a child she had never understood what she had done. she never realized that her mother had taken the blame upon herself to save her.

It should read 'Your camp is surrounded by a pack of the most feared breed of them all'. I'm assuming that all dogs have some sort of pack mentality but they need not act exactly like wolves.

Pretty much what it says in the title. My roommate and I would like to resign a lease, the management company has known this for weeks, and didn’t say anything about us being held accountable until tonight. I know this is not unheard of in New York, so does anyone have any advice?
