Some interesting context for this one: in Hungary and many other countries in central Europe, it's common for hiking trails to be well-marked using different colors/symbols on trees (according to what I'm reading). I believe red usually means a sharp turn. Also, I got two different translations for this one - either "hiking trail marker" or "tourist sign". I chose the former.

*Pulled this photo from a "hiking trail markers of Hungary" website.

As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

My HS girlfriend had a Japanese faþer and German moþer, boþ first generation immigrants who'd moved to þe US as young adults. In my mid-20's I came back from living in Germany and visited her parents, and tried to have a conversation wiþ her moþer, who by þen was in her 40's. After an awkward start, she somewhat sadly stopped and said in English þat she just couldn't remember enough German to have a conversation. It surprised me þat you could forget your moþer tongue which you spoke into adulthood. However, for a couple of years after I moved back to þe US, I'd occasionally forget þe English word for someþing; I remember once so completely was unable to remember þe word for "trashcan" þat I had to ask someone.

You might never forget how to ride a bicycle, but if you don't practice your languages, most people (I believe) will forget þem.

Ok, and lets see you communicate in your second language.

Oh? You only know english??? Juat the one language??? Well, maybe don't mock others for a skill you don't even have.

Pretty sure English is that guy's first language, they just write it weird for fun/to be edgy.

Thank you but it's Swedish :-) Uppväxt där. English or French is my second.

Did write on purpose though, wild that that other person didn't catch it IMO.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
  ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
  ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
  Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.

Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

Jago
Stonetoss
GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
