I fixed the lines now. That made the lyrics a lot more readable.

Okay, here’s the content copypasted:

I searched for Mad Show Boys dzintars тексты and it was the first result :)

That’s why they say “full-scale invasion”. Precisely because the war did begin 12 years ago, but the full-scale invasion began in 2022.

Героям слава!

Onko joku syy, miksi käytettäisiin juuri yhdysvaltalaisyritysten suomalaisia konesaleja?

They are just hoping that they can prolong the war by a week or two.

Maybe, just maaaaybe they will be lucky and something happens that makes the west force Ukraine to cede all of the currently occupied territory to the Orc-Roaches. The only thing the Russia can do is to try to prolong the war and hope for an act of gods.

Bring this headline to year 2019 and see how people there react.

In English something you sit on you ride, a bike, a motorcycle, a horse, a ferris wheel. Where something you are inside of you drive, a car, a truck, a forklift.

Meaning that you ride a cabriolet.
Nah. It’s just a bonkers rule :)

It always drives (rides?) me mad that you somehow “ride” a mechanical thing in English. Riding is a very interactive thing. You need to move your body in synchron with the animal you are riding. Otherwise stuff will start going wrong. On a motorbike you just sit on the thing and it moves you. That’s driving, not riding. Cars and motorbikes’ bodies don’t constantly alter their shape like the sides of an animal do! And on a bicycle you do pedal, but if you stop everything else and just sit on that damn thing, it’ll keep moving. (Unless it slows down to almost a halt, in which case it’ll tip over.)

To ride a mechanical thing you need to design it to move in such a wobbly manner that you need to make an active effort to stay on it. And it needs to have some kind of an AI so that your social interaction with it also becomes relevant.

I guess my confusion comes in that so far in all my lessons making something plural before the verb is done by -t and after the verb -a/-ä.

You choose the accusative ending according to whether the deed was completed or will be completed.

In English:
“I drink beer” means I drink an unspecified amount of beer.
“I drink the beer” means I drink one unit of beer. Maybe a glass, maybe a bottle, maybe a keg of beer.

And the same two can be done in plural as well:
“I drink beers” means that I drink some amount of beer-units, but it is not specified how many. It is also not specified whether you will ever manage to finish the process of drinking those beers. You might have to stop before everything is empty or there might be an endless supply of beer kegs that you are emptying, never stopping. Not even at the heat death of everything else we know.
“I drink the beers” means that there is some spefic amount beer kegs that I am drinking.

So, here’s the same in Finnish
“I drink beer” -> “I drink beers” = “juon olutta” -> “juon oluita”
“I drink the beer” -> “I drink the beers” = “juon oluen” -> “juon oluet”.

The plural uses the partitive ending if it’s not specified whether you’ll complete task or not, and nominative ending if you are going to complete it.

Ajan skuuttia = I am riding a scoot. Maybe just for fun, maybe with a destination.
Ajan skuutin = I will ride the scoot [to some specific place].

“Kesäisin ajan mielelläni skuuttia. Sitä ei kuitenkaan saa pysäköidä kotini lähelle, joten lopuksi ajan skuutin sivummalle parkkiin.”

Palun palun :)

The country is not refusing the return of its own citizens. It is refusing bringing its citizen from one country to another against their own will in a situation where there is no unavoidable and pressing need to do so.

Why is it not a legitimate move? A country is supposed to protect its citizens from harm.

Most deportations are unjust, and if the only efficient way to stop unfair deportations by us is to block them wholesale, then a country has the responsibility towards its citizens to do so.

Anything else would be madness.

Sudan genocide is very largely supported by the Russian Federation.

Pterodactyls were long gone at that point, though!

(Something related to triceratops was probably still around, but not the kind depicted here.)

It’s the same as in English.

Haluan leipää = I want bread
Haluan leivän = I want the/a bread

“I want bread” says you want some amount of bread, meaning you are not specifying how much. Maybe it’s one bite, maybe it’s three loaves of bread. You are not specifying. In Finnish this is “haluan leipää”.

“I want a bread” means you want one bread. Not half a bread, not one bite of a bread, not three breads. You want precisely one bread. In Finnish this is “haluan leivän”.

Same is with shoes.
I want shoe = Haluan kenkää.
You can say so, but it means you somehow don’t really want to have a shoe or a pair of shoes, or any other specific number of shoes, but just… “I want shoe”.
It sounds kind of very sexual. (And kinky!) It sounds like saying “I want dick” or “I want pussy”, but with “shoe” instead of “dick” or “pussy”. Or alternatively, that you want to eat some amount of shoes because you find shoes tasty.

So: Yes, if you want shoe as a material, not as an object to wear, you can definitely say “haluan kenkää”. In the same situationse where you can say “I want shoe” in English. It’s a very rare thing you’d be in a situation where you need that phrase either in Finnish or in English, but it is a grammatically correct phrase for a very specific kind of an occassion!

But if you follow enough users, won’t you start getting quite a good amount of that? Plus, you can probably just browse the local of some Misskey instance and then, if you want to comment or upvote, open it from within your own instance? It won’t be perfect, but I would imagine it will do the job just fine for a student.

If it federates, what does that matter? Just read the Japanese Misskey content.

Iceshrimp and Sharkey are forks of Misskey with more features. Are they still able to federate with it? How does Misskey federation work?
