@mennoong@mastodon.coffee Ongetwijfeld.

@mennoong@mastodon.coffee Hij kon ook nog Roemeens. Hij werkte in een autofabriek aldaar.

https://philologicaltryouts.substack.com/p/small-poem-in-albanian Finally a new post on my Substack. A very small one. A following post will be longer, promise. #AlbanianLanguage #Albanian

@hatulimyafim Sure will be. It is really unintelligently done, i.e. in a lo-tec way. If you can make something more educationally meaningful or practicable, then please feel free to process or work further on it (once I have sent such a sheet to you).

@hatulimyafim Very good. I am likewise, filling a vocab Excel sheet with Northern Azeri, Southern Azeri (if different from Northern Azeri), and modern Turkish words.

@JonAbolins Also in the area of science (minus the fiction) and learning some "new" things from the GDR may be in the pipeline: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/de-gruyter_ab-2023-digitalisieren-wir-das-bucharchiv-activity-6999009510753234944-Er9P?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android

@olawikander @linguistics
"Night" in Albanian: natë (nata, net, netët). All the Albanian nouns that I will present to you in this toot and in future ones appear in the following format: <Indefinite Singular> (<Definite Singular>, <Indefinite Plural>, <Definite Plural>).
Boosts of the toots will be appreciated! #AlbanianLanguage #Albanian

When learning Albanian nouns one is to learn the following four forms each (except if one of such forms would not except or would not make much sense, such as given names or plurales tanum): Indefinite Singular Nominative, Definite Singular Nominative, Indefinite Plural Nominative, Definite Plural Nominative. The plurals can be formed in many ways, as there are many suffixes and noun stem changes that may occur. #AlbanianLanguage #Albanian

@hatulimyafim Have a happy, or at least a decent, birthday! Take care and enjoy!

There are a few things to be said about phonetics in Albanian, but, since I am not a phonetics specialist, I will restrict myself to but a couple of remarks on it, by way of this single toot:

- In writing, a single [l] and double [ll] stand for two different phonemes. [l] is written in Albanian to represent the 'light' l (i.e. /l/, the sound featured on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental,_alveolar_and_postalveolar_lateral_approximants), whereas [ll] stands for the 'dark' l (i.e. /ɫ/, as described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental,_alveolar_and_postalveolar_lateral_approximants#Velarized_alveolar_lateral_approximant). They are different phonemes, and certainly not allophones in Albanian!

- Likewise, a written single [r] stands in Albanian for the voiced retroflex flap /ɽ/, while a double 'r,' i.e. [rr] stands for a whole different phoneme, namely the voiced alveolar trill /r/.
