That's the kind of humor I use; sopping wet comedy. No subtlety; it hits you in the face like a wet fish.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I call shenanigans. This comment was a damp fish at best. It felt like haddock.

You didn't see the horse soup joke, did you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I assume you’ve quit your day job.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Especially when it is in fact a wet fish.

The existence of Dad Humor implies the existence of Mom Humor.

Mom humor is Facebook Minion memes

Fun fact: same languages (including swedish) have different words for day as in 24h and day as in not night

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That makes sense to have. Little things like that are the coolest part about learning a new language.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I wish we could just make a language that combines all the best bits of different languages. Like a modded Esperanto or something

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In Spanish "morning" and "tomorrow" are the same word "mañana"... It can be confusing.

Maybe daytime would be similar. Daytime, nighttime

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Spanish has two: de día roughly "by daytime" and un dia exactly "a day".

Korean has like four! 날 / 낮 / 하루 / 일

Day, day, day, and day

/j, I don't actually know what they mean

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I think you made a mistake. I put it in a translator and the output was: 날 / 일 / 낮 / 하루

Could it be that you mixed up the order? Thanks anyway for trying! I appreciate what you did for me!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

날 / 일 both mean "day" but the first is native Korean word and second is Sino-Korean (inherited from Chinese). 날 has broader use but 일 is also used for document type stuff like dates and calendars. 일 also means Sun (the sun could also be called 태양 or 해).

낮 is daylight hours, sunrise to sunset.

하루 is a 24 hour day. For example, to say "every day" you'd say 하루마다 and "day-by-day" 하루 하루.

And then there's also 오늘 which means "today."

There's also plenty of words for X days later/ago. 어제 / 그저께 yesterday, day before. 내일 / 내일 모래 tomorrow, day after. I can't remember the three or four count words...

So which one is used for soup du jour

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Asking the real questions

Both google translate and deepl.com translate both the English "soup of the day", the French "soup du jour" and German "Tagessuppe" as "dagens soppa" which is the "not night" day. So it still implies a nattens soppa.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Mmm night soup. Somehow I feel like night soup should be sexual, but I have no idea how or why.

working on the night soup

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah obviously, don't you guys have Mitternachtssuppe?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Mitternachtssuppe

Does that mean midnight soup? I feel like I might be able to guess may way into some German discussions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes exactly that! Our languages belong in the same category, west-germanic, so your feeling is justified.

Soup After Dark

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Cereal is the lazier soup of the morning.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Well. There is, of course, the Soup of the Evening.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, soup of the night is a dark, demented and hideous creation from the bowels of a Michelin Star kitchen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Feeda feeda feeda feed me. I don't wanna be hungry! Oh soup of the night!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I want that inside me

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Soup of the day after is superior to soup of the day in every way possible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Would Monsieur like un peu de... potage de la nuit? It is very... how you say... risqué ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Soups of the night, what flavors they make!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

"Whores Soup."

"Ew, horse soup? I'm not eating horse!"
