This is also unironically a good way to get more comfortable spontaneously speaking a language you're learning. Don't know the word for refrigerator? Cold food box. Don't know how to say yawn? Tired sound. Etc. You'll be more or less understandable and people will probably tell you the word you need when they figure out what you mean.

[-] aaaa@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

Well if the language is German, there's probably an 80% chance that you get the right word this way

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 15 points 2 years ago

It is also the only way to speak in Toki Pona

[-] Magnetar@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago

Toki Pona is overdoing it, but it's also how Esperanto is doing it: fridujo = cold-container. Also German, now you're mentioning it: Kühlschrank = cold-cabinet.

[-] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Toki! Sina pilin seme?

Yep. I don't speak Spanish. Learned all my extremely limited Spanish in restaurant kitchens. When I walk my dogs, and one of the many Spanish speaking Mexicans that lives nearby looks nervous, I tell them, "Perro es bueno por hombre. Perro es no bueno por otra Perro." They understand what I mean even though I just butchered that sentence.

A vanilla mocha latte with soy milk is just a 4-bean soup

[-] BertramDitore@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

Drink it from a cup made of soy paper and you’re still just holding beans.

[-] FiniteLooper@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

A computer is just a really hot pile of sand.

Lemmy is just word water.

TO Think such a horrible thing would be uttered by a member of my own family...

Water is just oxygen hydrogen!

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Call me when tea, coffee or lemonade taste of something beyond bitter water

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 7 points 2 years ago

do you like, like anything?

[-] morrowind@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Not flavored water

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

If your lemonade is bitter, you're making it wrong.

[-] Mint@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I can't comment on coffee. As for tea, it depends on the type and how you prepare it. To clarify, when I mention tea, I'm referring to tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant. This includes green, white, oolong, black, heicha, and puerh teas. Anything not from the Camellia sinensis plant is called tisane or herbal tea.

Green tea can be the most bitter, or the least bitter, depending if you make it well. You need to make sure its not boiling water, but water that's around 80c.

White tea is probably easier to make just make sure its not boiling water and it shouldn't be bitter either.

Then again if you're calling something like lemonade bitter, a thing that has so much sugar I don't really know if me telling you would even help.
