temu putin say what?

Unemployed people be like:

Lol, pun wasn’t intended, but this is such a lovely coincidence

Cantonese sounds distinct compared to Mandarin, its mutualy unintelligible with each other. Younger people like me who went to school in China would understsnd Mandarin, but older people were never taught Mandarin, and its much harder compared to just accent imitation, its almost as different as two different languages, well… it’s not that different, since both use the same writing system, spoken cantonese is slightly more colloquial, but when it’s written formally, its would be understandable to any Chinese Language Variants (commonly known as “Dialects” but I dislike that term), so you basically pronounce the same characters in a different way. If they can read and write, they don’t really need a translator/interpreter. Just grab a pen xD.

Its not just the tones, but also a lot more amount of pronouncible sounds there is.

(Jyutping and Pinyin represent different sounds btw, its not an IPA replacement)

Like 食 (to eat)

Cantonese Jyutping is sik6
Mandarin Pinyin is si2

時 (time)

Cantonese Jyutping is si4
Mandarin Pinyin is si2

(Difference highlighted in bold)

Not only is there more tones, there’s also the -p -t -k endings to the sound, so you get much more variety, less homophones.

I always love the following two:

劍 (Sword)

Cantonese Jyutping: gim3
Mandarin Pinyin: jian4

箭 (Arrow)

Cantonese Jyutping: zin3
Mandarin Pinyin: jian4

Imagine being at war, and Mandarin speakers lost because they accidentally brought swords to an bow and arrow fight lmao.

Or this:

雪 (Snow)

Cantonese Jyutping: syut3
Mandarin Pinyin: xue3

血 (Blood)

Cantonese Jyutping: hyut3
Mandarin Pinyin: xue3

Imagine this conversation (imagine its happening in Mandarin):

“There’s a lot of [xuě] outside!”

“Oh yea its beautiful, isn’t it. First time seeing [xuě] (snow)?”

“No there’s a lot of [xuě]! SOMEONE DIED, there’s [xuě] EVERWHERE!”

Get it? Because Snow and Blood sound the exact same in Mandarin. Lmfao.

I always love Cantonese more, but yea tankies are gonna call me racist and “han traitor”. I’m like: Homie, northern colonizers are forcibly trying to assimulate Guangdong in to speaking a conquerer’s language, calm down lol. CCP Tankies are just like the early US colonizers forcing the natives to speak a different language.

60 votes are not required. That’s for cloture to end a filibuster.

The filibuster is not in the constitution nor a law, its merely a rule that can be changed at any time and the rule change itself cannot be filibustered. vance could also preside over the senate and ignore the parliamentarian.

They could if they can whip enough republicans to change the filibuster rules, or just get vance to preside over the senate and to ignore the parliamentarian. They never did that because “norms and traditions”.

But this party that’s ignoring the constitution for the past few months… and somehow “norms and traditions” suddenly matters now… 🧐

Tell them you have a friend who tells you they speak Cantonese and literally needs a translator to understand Mandarin, beyond exceptionally basic, like 2nd grade level vocabulary.

HUH? What lmao? What’s the context of the thread? Got a link/screenshot?

I’m a Cantonese speaker too and I’m just curious how the fuck is speaking Cantonese “racist” lmfao.

I do not condone violence against lawful law enforcement activity, of course.

But I believe in the right to self-defence against unidentified masked thugs with weapons, who are obviously impersonating law enforcement agents and are definitely not ICE agents, because real ICE agents would properly identify themselves. So if someone isn’t identifying themselves as law enforcement with proper visible credentials, they are obviously criminals that needs to be dealt with. 😏

They should be forced to work just like the military is forced to.

Lock them all in the building, no tweeting, if they are hungry, they can eat prison food.

They stay there until conflict is resolved. Or they can resign their position and forever give up the right to be involed in politics… 🤷‍♂️

1775: Breaking News, there’s a growing number of colonists who think violence is necessary…

magats are not patriots.

Patriots love their country and criticize it when its wrong.

Nationalists create a fantasy narrative of what their concept of a “country” is, and think that’s the best thing in the world.

I probably fit into the category of “patriot”, I love the multiculturalism of the US, I love the progress that has been made on Civil Rights and the protection of people with disabilities and recognition of the rights of LGBT+ people, I love the constitution (well… some parts need to be tweaked), the 1st and 2nd amendments, separation of powers, the idea that “American” is not a race, but an ideal; And I do recognize that the history is dark and those dark history should be taught so we can prevent those from happening, and I do NOT support this administration’s blatant violation of the constitution and anyone involved should be thrown in jail.

These “nationalists” don’t even love the country, they do not support freedom, they are traitors, and should be dealt with accordingly.

LMFAO

So… is PRC pronounced… PRiCk?

Btw, USA pronounced OOo-sah

“Give up your only bargaining chip otherwise we’ll hurt you!”

Hmm wonder where I’ve seen this before…

ahem Russia-Ukraine ahem

That’s because putin has already established control, meanwhile, trump is a wannabe dictator that still can’t get 100% support yet, so he is desperate to project power.
