German is so funny sometimes.

"Mutter läßt Dir schreiben, daß sie
sich riesig freut, wenn Du wieder da bist,
daß sie sich auch über Deinen Brief sehr gefreut
hat u. ihn auch beantwortet haben würde, wenn
ich Dir nicht heute schriebe, womit, meint
sie, Du zufrieden wärest."

At this point I feel that once you've learned four roman languages, you get one for free.
Romanian maybe?

I don't know, but for some reason the Firefox translation feature has already been shipped to me, though still marked as Beta. It works pretty well, with a few hick-ups here and there like untranslated words, forgotten whitespace, or inappropriate decapitalization, but otherwise it's really fine.

Tanacross uses different words to refer to one person vs. more than one person moving about. Some languages have have separate words for two people moving about.

Tok ts’ı̨́’ ghihaaɬ "I'm going to Tok (right now)"
nátihhá’ "I'll take a trip"
Fairbanks ts’ı̨́’ tées̲h̲ah "s/he went to Fairbanks"
tinahdeeɬ "you (plural) go outside, leave"
ɬonahdeetl "you (plural) went around, e.g. kids going about on Halloween"
nakedzéedeetl "we went down and back"

If you post in different languages on mastodon, how should you do it?

Is it enough to change the posting language when composing the post, or should you also add a hashtag with the language?
And if so, in which language should the hashtag be?
Or maybe the top level domain letters?

Or both change the posting language and add a hashtag?

🤔🤷🏼‍♂️✍️
