Is it prodigies spit or is it prodigy's spit...or even prodigys' spit...let's see? I guess if they all spit at once then the conversation could go as follows;

Mildred: Did those flarking prodigies spit all over the Steinway again?

Felix: Yup, that's prodigys' spit all over the flarking piano...AGAIN!

Mildred: Those prodogy are sooo gottdam disgusting sometimes, but let's chalk it up to prodigy's weirdness!

Felix: Indubitably, but they sure as hell can play the piano like nobody's business!

Mildred: No shit, Sherlock, now could you pass me one of those rags, I'll help you clean up the mess.

Felix: I love you Mildred, let's get married.

Mildred: I thought that you'd never ask!

The absent prodigal piano cleaner was nowhere to be seen, so three days later they had to send the Steinway to a prodigious piano repairer to relacquer the timber so the piano prodigy could prolifically perform their prestigious perfunctory pieces with proclivity.

 

Her speech and mannerisms, somehow rather unnervingly, remind me of MixBus bloke.



I wonder if they are, perchance, related?

 

Her dialect does not really seem correct. On Youtube it says Spain, But that doesn't sound like a spanish speaker doing english. anyone else hearing that?

So, folks, this is what modern, successful marketing looks like today.
You need a rich dad, since kids don't earn their own money, for the equipment and a good camera.

DJ GABI - YOU'VE GOT THE LOVE REMIX

 

Texting in the usa consist of lots of emojis rather than a tangible description of what is meant, also lots of on the fly contractions often difficult to understand ie Thank you, become Thanks, Thanx, thnx,tnx. etc sometimes understanding can be derived by context, sometimes not. message like "gt egz onwy home plz " does nothing for discourse or the english language comprehension. Ultimaltely ai will take over all facets of communications, and it will be done in the name of helping the children, as it always is. Ai will become a firewall insulating us from each other. I'm sure it could be a good thing,but I'm also sure it won't be, and it will become expensive and we will pay for it with both our data and our cash. sorry I'm feeling a little sour on technology these days.

 

any idea why the letter "z" in America is pronounced (and only known as) "zee", whilst in Britain it is "zed" or "zud"? I think it was also so in Germany, but its been many decades since I've been in Germany, so I could be wrong.

 

Pronunciation ----> Z ----> [tsɛt]

Linguists estimate that the German language has between 300,000 and 500,000 words.

The Duden Corpus, an electronic database, even contains approximately 18 million entries (as of 2020).
It includes terms from specialist fields such as biology and technology, as well as rarely used and obsolete words.

P.S.: For Germans, your American "W" is very strange. We say W = Veh. You say Doubleyou.
That Sir and Mam from American movies is also very memorable! We only have Mr. and Mrs. or Miss!

 

I love that band Zed Zed Top

 

Sound to me more like German/Dutch expat family "living la vida loca" in Mallorca or Ibiza.

 

Great question, I do not know the accurate answer. It might be because of the way we each pronounce a specific word or phrase in our native tongue seems the most logical educated guess? Like the misused frustration word every language has - e.g. in German - "Scheiße" - To the English speaking world it sounds like 'Shizer" not "Sheezer". Our daily dialect/accents in other words, seems to be the possible answer? All of our languages are uniquely distinctive and dare I say, beautiful combinations of multiple sources.

EDIT - @Garamondo Furbish - a person who has never lived in Europe or never been to various parts of South America, understandably can be forgiven for thinking that Portuguese and Spanish sound the same, and Dutch and German sound the same, while being very different. There certainly are similarities in some things but massive differences in others. That is the only answer that makes any sense to me - the sound/articulation/accent - I think you'd need to ask a linguistics expert of more than forty years to get even close to an accurate answer.

In English it is similar, though 'Sir' decades ago, some children would call their father this or an elder, or male school teacher. M'am was not in English, that is definitively American - Madam was more often used if at all, then there was Ms. It is confusing between American and English, because Sir and Dame in the UK, is often referred to as a knighthood status. e.g. Dame Judy Dench, Sir Alec Guiness.... In America the word 'Dame' was used to indicate any woman. Some people now consider it discriminating slang, no wonder people get confused

Fun discussion - but we should get back to topic before the moderator raps us all on the knuckles.

I like the American ma'am use because is convenient. Informal but polite, can be applied to both single or married woman, young or old. No ms or mrs guessing or blabla.

I hate that something as basic as "multi" is pronounced differently. Multi-instrumentalist for instance.

That's funny as shit! About the most that is being achieved there is the kid is keeping in shape flailing and dancing around. Other than that the fake attempts at "DJ'ing" are hilarious. Kid's got a few thousand dollars worth of gear sitting there and she's just playing audio files and twisting knobs/sliders that you can audibly tell are doing nothing at all. Whatever... As long as she is having fun I guess... Personally, I would be embarrassed by producing such a fake display - but to each is own.

 

If she wanna DJ. That's fine!

Mom and Dad pushing her on social media. That's so wrong on so many levels!

 

Hehe.. Sure.. But maybe she should actually learn how to "DJ" for real first... Might be more believable for viewers that way?

 

It does sound better than mouldy instrumentalist.

 

Can't argue about DJ skills tbh.

 

I don't even remember well. I think in American multi ends with the "e" vowel sound and in UK English like the "i"

Fuck, vowels in English are way harder than Spanish vowels...

 

At least in the "DJ GABI - YOU'VE GOT THE LOVE REMIX" video it's not fake and there are no fake moves twisting knobs/sliders. Sure, equipment is expensive, but you can follow each move and it makes sense, despite many of your posts.
