Say what you want about the Russian people, it's government, the culture, even the food.

The language got absolutely fucked with that alphabet.

Let's take an Asian tribal language and have two Greek guys force a Latin alphabet on it.

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Slavic languages are related to other European languages closer than Finnish and Hungarian, also the writing system Cyril introduced was Glagolitic, the reason Cyrillic appeared was because students in Bulgaria didn't want to use the rather complex glagolitic alphabet for everything and already knew the greek alphabet, so they kind of combined them and created Cyrillic

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 16 hours ago

Also, Cyrillic can represent features like palatalization better than the Latin alphabet does, not saying it's the best for everything but it does have advantages

There isn't a language on earth that wears its alphabet worse than English.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

French does come close, tho, which explains some 30-40% of english's nonsensical fuckery

We took French, mangled it, added German, Spanish and sailor, and then had a bar fight. What rolled out is the English language.

Ahh yes, dedicating all your real, tangible energy to hating fake nations.

This is the world's sanest tankie.

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Its basically a requirement of being russian, to marry your identiy of being russian to the russian state, and the identity of the russian state basically boils down to a bunch of imperialist psuedo-nazis (and overt nazis) who are obsessed with large borders, dying in droves in huge wars for national prestige, and living like shit just to maintain the image and arsenal that you are opposing some great evil, like the amorphous "west"

Ah yes: "Russia will just buy oil from their allies! It's not a problem to do that".

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think Trump might be more up for supporting Ukraine than we think. US oil and gas industry has made bank from this war. The US is the largest oil producer in the world.

I don't think he's smart enough to think along those lines but here's hoping someone can get him to understand.

[–] Dultas@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

$$$ will make him understand

Careful or someone will threaten to Shagm your Rogt

Or something

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What does shagm shateg right mean? Is it Welsh?

[–] ilost7489@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Transliteration of the cyrillics made to look like warm water port to the English alphabet

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I am guessing it is how the fake cyrillic is actually pronounced.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I tried searching for it, and just found this post. I'm guessing that was an epic mistype failure.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

It's clearly the transliteration of the fake cyrillic above.

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wasn't he quoting somebody else here?

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, green text is used to strawman the comment you are replying to

Or tell a story about what sopposedlh happened to you

Rarely used to quote someone

[–] babybus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I see. However, there's no > in the Russian layout. So they'd have to switch to English, type >, switch back to Russian, type и, and then switch again to English to continue typing the post. That'd be strange to say the least.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

On 4chan, if you reply to a post it puts the > in for you. He just deleted what was there and typed in something else.

At least I think that's how it works. I could be wrong, since I haven't set foot in 4chan in like a decade.

[–] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The other reply is wrong. If you have part of a post highlighted when you click its post number to reply, it will automatically put the highlighted text in front of the meme arrow. The image is definitely implying that the person they were replying to accidentally used a Cyrillic character.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago

Yes, but the cowbell already rang.

[–] _carmin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

That's me. I'm well versed in countries and cultures so I can be accurately racist af
