hllizi Ich finde, der einzige akzeptable Ausgang für diesen Krieg ist einer, der mit völligem Gesichtsverlust für Putin einhergeht. Und zwar nicht im metaphorischen Sinn.

sailorrooscout “All immunity is natural, because your immune system is natural.

Immunity is acquired either through infection or vaccination. Infection has more side effects, many of which are very bad and one of which is death.

Naturally, I choose to acquire my immunity through vaccination.”

RuairiFahy Seeing a lot of goths about again, which is bad news.

Goths are the harbinger of recession whether its the 2008 recession, the 1980s recession or 5th century Rome and the collapse of the empire.

They may not be the cause but they are the warning we should heed

marconeves But the same word in Spanish or English will awaken other images in the speakers' minds. A Briton will think primarily of a fairly large cup... A Spaniard might think first of the famous "café con leche". Does this mean that "coffee" is untranslatable?

marconeves Someone might now say, "Ah, but those translations, whatever they are, are never quite the same thing as the original word." Well, translation is never the same thing! This applies not only to "saudade", but to almost every word and any text.

marconeves Even in Portuguese, most uses of the word are of the basic, I-miss-you kind. I would say this is what happens with most, if not all, supposedly untranslatable words: in everyday sentences, they have straightforward translations.

marconeves Just think of the verb "to get", for example, which has many different translations, from "arranjar" ("obtain") to "compreender" ("understand"), or the word "key", which can be "tecla" (as a part of a keyboard) or "chave" (which opens doors).

via Twitter Web App (retweeted on 7:17 PM, May 15th, 2022 via Twitter for Android)

marconeves Someone might counter, "Ah, but there is no single translation of ‘saudade’, at least in English." True, there isn't, but that happens with many words, from the most banal to the most complex. The Portuguese word "café" doesn't have a single English translation either.

marconeves That is precisely the job of translators, who are more creative than people usually believe — and very much used to dealing with problems, even if the problem is a word that everyone says has no translation.

marconeves The word "saudade" will be translated in different ways depending on the sentence. You may even need to write several words to translate what, in Portuguese, is said using only "saudade".

via Twitter Web App (retweeted on 7:16 PM, May 15th, 2022 via Twitter for Android)

marconeves To understand why it is a mistake to say that "saudade" has no translation, we must remember that translators do not work with isolated words: they translate sentences, paragraphs, texts...

derwahremawa Ich finde es faszinierend, mit welcher Hartnäckigkeit linke Theoretiker*innen bis heute über Occupy reden, als hätte das für irgendeinen normalen Menschen mehr als einige Wochen lang Relevanz gehabt. Es ist, als würde die Musikwissenschaft seit 10 Jahren über Gangnam Style reden.

WesleyLowery the mistake made by too much of polite, elite society (and media) is to treat white supremacists as individual crazies with backwater views. White supremacy is a coherent (if baseless) ideology, with deliberate tactics. What happened today was predictable and will happen again
