that's pretty common with languages though, isn't it? picking up words and spelling them differently, or having their meanings change with cultural changes.

there's probably a few here or there

[ please god someone teach sqx and yuri to say "that's sick/lit" while teaching them the original meaning of the words ]

so... helpful for words from his world but nothing else, huh?

we could just ask around but it's more of a passing curiosity than something really serious.

we might need to pick a topic and stick to it otherwise we'll... just end up asking about anything and everything.

... animal names...?

or maybe just modern phrasings might be a good idea?

[personal profile] shiftingwinds 2021-02-18 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
modern phrasings would probably be the most versatile

i guess we could ask anyone for that though, as long as they're "modern"

[ i love and appreciate they're about to hit 20 comments on this topic ]

whether they make any sense or not is the big question.
