I didn't know what it meant to be hit so hard in he feels until this.

I was walking down "roading lane" yesterday and i thought that was bad enough.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

If it helps, "monosyllabic" has five syllables. (Last time I mentioned this on lemmy I was bombarded by people who had a lot to say about it, though)

[-] bryndos@fedia.io 1 points 5 days ago

I mean yeah, I guess it helps empower my suicidal ideation. ta!

[-] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Do you happen to have the link? It's Sunday here and I need fun.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

The link to someone criticizing my use of monosyllabic?

[-] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Well the context made it look like it was about people having a "short vs long" this-thread-ish freakout on the fact that monosyllabic has five syllables, but sure why not.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Gotcha, sorry if I was unclear. It will likely take me a bit to find the link (it was a long time ago), but I'll see if I can find it for you.

They actually the same size, it's just latin alphabet is stupid and doesn't have a letter for sound SH.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 8 points 6 days ago

Šort

Anyway, short in Estonian is "lühike" and long is "pikk" so we have the same issue

[-] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Pikk even sounds small, just like words have a certain phonetic sound.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

long is "pikk"

Incidentally, "dick" in Danish is "pik" regardless of what dimensions you're packing

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

Well I think ideally you would want a pikk pik. You may additionally want it to be jäme.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Jäme is thick? Delicious? Mighty?

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

Thick. But of course a mighty cock sounds good too

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Poland chiming in. "Długi" and "Krótki". Same problem.

[-] NovaSel@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Doesn't the same apply for "ng"? That seems like it could be one letter.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah, but ng could easily be one letter, it’s just not in English.

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 6 points 6 days ago

That problem disappears when you stop speaking English

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Many problems do. Unfortunately, other problems, some if them worse, might START as a consequence of the same change, so not really worth it IMO

[-] Crewman@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

Is there a term for words that are self-descriptive?

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yes but when you say them out loud you can adjust the lengths

Suburban Starkiller is right.
