Or… since this is supposed to be an en→es translation, the Spanish sentence should be affirmative. My siblings and I are planning to visit the art museum next the day after tomorrow ⇒ I would rather place the "next" at the beginning of the sentence → N...

Hey thank you for your investigation and the funny tasting video :D mämmi As for the Finnish voice, I first liked it on my device (laptop), but then I checked it on another device and it sounded different and not Finnish at all (both in Android and an old-fashioned PC!).

bread → パン (from Spanish "pan") パン does sound Spanish but my guess would be that the word was imported by the Portuguese. Portuguese were the first Europeans who initiated commercial exchange with Japan in the 16th century. Maybe that is how the Japanese heard the word pão. Yes, ...

Duolingo übersetzt "dennoch ist er da" mit ""lui c'è ancora" Das erscheint mir seltsam. "lui c'è ancora" heißt doch eher "er ist noch immer da", oder? Genau, du hast recht. lui c'è ancora → er ist noch immer da "dennoch ist er da" würd...

Duolingo hat den deutschen Satz: "sie mag gar nicht" mit "non le piace niente" übersetzt. Das ist aber doch wohl falsch. "non le piace niente" müsste doch "sie mag gar nicht s " heißen, oder? Genau, du hast recht. non le piace niente → sie mag gar ni...

Since the Finnish word is being used as is in the English sentence, I imagined that it must refer to a very specific thing. It turns out that mämmi is a traditional Finnish Easter porridge made from water, rye flour, malted rye, sugar and/or molasses, and Seville orange zest. The water and flour mix...

Had the word been "beef" instead of "meat" —where's the beef?— in addition to the literal meaning it could then have also referred to a common expression in the United States that was first introduced as a slogan for a fast food chain, and which later became a...

There are people who like to invent rules. An old story by the way in this forum.

Wow! You had your vacation period.

From what I see, that seems to be relatively a common situation: non competitive leagues.
