@awolditzy Oh yeah that's fun

Narwhal awlxaĺan

@awolditzy No, that still wouldn't make any sense as you'd have an article in front of a possessive pronoun. If you wanted to say something like "that's my cheese", you'd say "c'est mon fromage".

@awolditzy One of my best friends moved here from Venezuela a few years ago, and there they don't have lemons, and what we call limes they just call lemons. So when he first got here he had a few funny experiences where he had to wrap his head around the fact that there were yellow lemons and that what he had called lemons were called limes.

@awolditzy It's one of my personal favourite fruits, right beside bananas and blackberries among some others.

Narwhal awlxaĺan

@awolditzy Yeah, I've seen it connected to both Judaism and Christianity in the past. I've also seen it represent everything from fertility to good luck. It's a pretty diverse symbol as far as fruits go and can definitely vary from culture to culture.

@awolditzy Who told you my grandmother's a kleptomaniac

orungano awlxaĺan

@awolditzy Yeah. Part of NC, but I forget which little island(?) it was.

Narwhal awlxaĺan

@awolditzy Funny since you mentioned cherries earlier

orungano awlxaĺan

@awolditzy I remember fondly the restaurant I went to where they'd prepare fish you caught for free.

Narwhal awlxaĺan

@awolditzy You hadn't-ock?

Narwhal awlxaĺan

@awolditzy I've always been more into haddock when it comes to fish

orungano awlxaĺan

@awolditzy I'll eat your skin

orungano awlxaĺan

@awolditzy Never had swordfish or even really been aware it was a thing people ate. Tuna is my favourite fish

orungano awlxaĺan

@awolditzy You'd call salmon flavourful?

orungano awlxaĺan

@awolditzy Interesting

Narwhal awlxaĺan

@awolditzy I grapeing love pomegranates. Pomegranate juice too.

orungano awlxaĺan

@awolditzy Not even sure I've tried the flavour

orungano awlxaĺan

@awolditzy Never had pomegranate, not into seedy fruits

orungano awlxaĺan

@awolditzy bloody love cherries

monsutaa kaado! awlxaĺan

@awolditzy the taste is a bit weaker, though

monsutaa kaado! awlxaĺan

@awolditzy majestic as heck

Someone Probably awlxaĺan

@awolditzy To be fair, Coptic does share a decent bit with the Semitic languages, likely due to the strong Hebrew influences during the middle dynasties of Egypt and the Arabic influence towards the end.

Someone Probably awlxaĺan

@awolditzy It's actually not Semitic. Egyptian is actually a completely separate branch of the Afro-Asiatic family.

That being said, Coptic does differentiate gender in the third person singular, anok, ntok and nto

Someone Probably awlxaĺan

@awolditzy My native language is Coptic where he she and it are all the same word.

Narwhal awlxaĺan

@awolditzy I'll write it down and ask my mom about it later when she's home

Narwhal awlxaĺan

@awolditzy This will actually come in handy for me later
