Facebook Aunt posted:Is it insensitive to hope their religion is wrong and randos can't actually anger the god of medicine on a whim? Wicca was invented in the 1950s, it's less of a religion than Scientology because it's just a bunch of British people doing a colonialism on all the pagans they wiped out based on horribly inaccurate information.

OwlFancier posted:Why is o with umlaut pronounced exactly like o without umlaut? My understanding as an American trying to learn languages with that sound (Nordics, German) is that it’s like the U-part of urrrrr but it doesn’t actually come with an R attached, but that’s the only place a sound like that appears in English.

The ö can best be pronounced if you do this. Seriously.

Yeah I couldn't actually think of an english way to transliterate the noise hence the french. I mean, the noise exists, it's how you express disgust as a child, but I don't know how to spell that

Oe. Seriously. On keyboards or devices without the ability for diacriticals you replace the umlaut with ‘e’ after the vowel in German. Thus: Ae= ä Oe = ö Ue = ü This is also roughly how you can visualize how to pronounce it in English, too.

Someone here posted this video about pronunciation a while ago, and it stuck with me because of the creep at 32 seconds. https://youtu.be/HAigY_5IiIk

dialhforhero posted:Oe. That's probably how I would do it but I can't say I would read it correctly if I didn't already know how it was supposed to sound. I think it's one of those things where it makes sense backwards but isn't super good for reading it forwards. Like most of english, really. Of course actual german is great because once you know the alphabet it reads entirely descriptively. OwlFancier has a new favorite as of 19:20 on Jul 21, 2020 |

When I had to learn to pronounce some German, I was taught to make an "oo" with my lips and an "ee" with my tongue. It does actually kidn of look like at least when you're first trying.

dialhforhero posted:Oe. The thing is, the sounds never really occur in English. Just like the consonant at the beginning of Arabic Ali. So your stupid English brain tries to find the best approximation from the sounds it knows, until it's exposed to a sufficient amount of German it whatever. Or you just end up with an obnoxious accent I guess. Similar things happens with foreigners learning English, especially your th-sounds. Those are commonly interpreted as just t and d respectively and pronounced as such. My second pedantic point in this derail is that writing is auxiliary to language, meaning that language works without letters*. Any spelling conventions are just more or (commonly) less clever ways of trying to describe what comes out of mouths. So the same letter can have wildly different sounds depending on the language (x is commonly ks in English, but an s-like sound in mandarin and a velar fricative (loch) in transliterated Arabic for example). The sound exists without the letter is kind of my point, and the letter is tacked on later, with essentially no influence on the sound. *Yes, I see the irony in typing that

It's neither. Wine-dark was a mistranslation, wine-eyed is closer. It wasn't describing the color of the sea, but the motion

If you don't want to run around the world following foxes to shrines and composing haiku and just want to hammer out the main story mission without all the gathering nonsense you'd be better off waiting to get it cheap. I quite like it and have played the hell out of it since my preorder activated
