The existence of Dad Humor implies the existence of Mom Humor.
Mom humor is Facebook Minion memes
Fun fact: same languages (including swedish) have different words for day as in 24h and day as in not night
That makes sense to have. Little things like that are the coolest part about learning a new language.
I wish we could just make a language that combines all the best bits of different languages. Like a modded Esperanto or something
In Spanish "morning" and "tomorrow" are the same word "mañana"... It can be confusing.
At some point you learn to cope. "esta mañana", "el día de mañana", "mañana por la mañana"...
Spanish has two: de día roughly "by daytime" and un dia exactly "a day".
Korean has like four! 날 / 낮 / 하루 / 일
Wow! What do they mean?
Day, day, day, and day
/j, I don't actually know what they mean
I think you made a mistake. I put it in a translator and the output was: 날 / 일 / 낮 / 하루
Could it be that you mixed up the order? Thanks anyway for trying! I appreciate what you did for me!
날 / 일 both mean "day" but the first is native Korean word and second is Sino-Korean (inherited from Chinese). 날 has broader use but 일 is also used for document type stuff like dates and calendars. 일 also means Sun (the sun could also be called 태양 or 해).
낮 is daylight hours, sunrise to sunset.
하루 is a 24 hour day. For example, to say "every day" you'd say 하루마다 and "day-by-day" 하루 하루.
And then there's also 오늘 which means "today."
There's also plenty of words for X days later/ago. 어제 / 그저께 yesterday, day before. 내일 / 내일 모래 tomorrow, day after. I can't remember the three or four count words...
So which one is used for soup du jour
Asking the real questions
Both google translate and deepl.com translate both the English "soup of the day", the French "soup du jour" and German "Tagessuppe" as "dagens soppa" which is the "not night" day. So it still implies a nattens soppa.
Mmm night soup. Somehow I feel like night soup should be sexual, but I have no idea how or why.
I would argue that in French "soup du jour" is the correct meaning, as in "today's soup". And it would otherwise be "soup de jour" as in "day soup", which doesn't exist.
I would argue that the French uses the article more often than English does so it is correct to omit it when translating
Maybe daytime would be similar. Daytime, nighttime
Day soup
Fighter of the night soup
Champion of the Sun!
you're a master of minestrone, and bread bowls, for everyone!
aaaaAAAAAA!
Chili is the night soup.
working on the night soup
Yeah obviously, don't you guys have Mitternachtssuppe?
Mitternachtssuppe
Does that mean midnight soup? I feel like I might be able to guess may way into some German discussions.
Yes exactly that! Our languages belong in the same category, west-germanic, so your feeling is justified.
east-germanic is very similar but they talk a lot more about Marx
Soup After Dark
I see now that I've just reposted the title of the post, stay in school kids so you don't embarass yourself like this
sooo meaaty
Cereal is the lazier soup of the morning.
No, soup of the night is a dark, demented and hideous creation from the bowels of a Michelin Star kitchen.
Soup foam.
Soup of the day after is superior to soup of the day in every way possible.
Would Monsieur like un peu de... potage de la nuit? It is very... how you say... risqué ?
Feeda feeda feeda feed me. I don't wanna be hungry! Oh soup of the night!
I want that inside me
Soups of the night, what flavors they make!
THIS IS THE HOT SOUP OF THE NIGHT 🎶
