I use Google Translate a lot.  Mostly to make sure what I'm typing is correct, but also to translate song titles.  I have a lot of non-Englist artists in my Spotify library due to trying to learn various languages.  Also, Eurovision.  But I digress.

I was translating the title of a Romanian song this morning and noticed this.

2024-12-03

Who knew that Google Translate had Romani as one of its languages?  Not me, for sure.  Otherwise, that would have been getting some use.  Hahaha.  And as an interesting side not, the Q'eqchi' langauge is apparently a Mayan language spoken in Mexico, Guatamala, and Belize. 

Okay, enough of my idiocy.  Hope you're having a fantastic Tuesday and that it's not too terribly cold where you are today.

Sometimes, Duolingo makes me laugh with their sentences. Other times, I'm amused by what they consider necessary vocabulary.

Apparently, in Romanian, when someone asks how you're doing (ce faci), it's common to respond with Nu mă plâng, which literally translates to I'm not crying. LMAO.

Well, that's one way to look at it, I suppose.

So, today? Well, I'm not crying. Hah!

This was going to be a strictly cat-related post but I'll be damned if Kobo didn't give me a reason to laugh this morning.

Pool Party

As soon as Kaige suggested I jump into the pool with Detectives Baciu and Anghel, I went to see if I could find screencaps to keep me busy until I could rewatch the show.

Instead, I found this:

Currently, I am laughing in English because I'd forgotten how insane this damn show was!

Also, I had this stupid ass idea of writing a drabble actually in Romanian, but I'm not sure I could pull that one off.

Someone calling themselves Jay followed me on Duolingo.

They are studying Romanian.

I'm thinking that there's a lot of weird serendipity working in my life at the moment.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd... I'm going to see myself off the internet for the rest of the night now. KTHXBAI.

(Must be a record... I've tagged two posts in one day with both 'no one cares' because really, who does? and 'I'm such an idiot' because #truth.)

Saw this on Facebook and got quite a laugh out of it.

The Romanian word for paprika is... paprika.

And yeah, I'm just dorky enough to have looked it up without provocation. I mean, unless the smoked paprika sitting on my counter wasn't provocation enough.

And then...

Dear social media users, if you do not want someone to ask you about things ON SOCIAL MEDIA maybe you should not be POSTING THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Title: Cum Se Zice…?*
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Pairing: Andrej Zeklos/James Rosewood/Zayne Reyes
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1,055
Summary: James spies Zayne doing something sketchy and calls him out on it, only to discover it’s not as sketchy as he thinks.
Author’s Note: Written because my random list of words today were the same as Zayne’s. Side note: the title means ‘How do you say…?’ and I thought it appropriate. Weird additional side note: the same phrase in Spanish is ‘Cómo se dice....’ Even though Spanish and Romanian come from the same Latin base, it sometimes weirds me out how similar the two languages are. French, as well. My older daughter picked up one of my books at home and said, “Hey, Romanian is a lot like French!” Thanks, kid, but that helps me not at all. And… I’m shutting up now, sorry. Because I have a weird third thing I want to mention but won’t. *zips lips*

On my way into work this morning I heard the morning show talking about how few people read these days. They went on to say something like 60% of the people who do not read, don’t do it because it’s too hard to understand. My first reaction to this was THAT’S BECAUSE YOU DON’T READ ENOUGH. But then, maybe I’m biased?
