You can't grasp what I'm saying at all.
Hints/Solutions below. Points were awarded all around. Original posts at the top of the thread have been updated.
4 - Aragonese
Try to map out the different rules - which part of the word dictates how it will be pluralized?
This one was maybe the most simple to me - if the word ends in a vowel, add an "S". Ending of "T" becomes "TZ." "L" becomes "LS" and "X" becomes "XES." We can quickly check that other factors don't change this rule (eg. "OT" and "ET" both become "ETZ") but there's no trick.
5 - Persian
The final sample statement is the significant one.
This felt a bit cheap to me. Technically, by the given samples, we can assume "pain-e" and "zir-e" are synonyms meaning "under." We can treat them as such and translate everything directly. (Use "under" for both in Part 1 and use them interchangeably in Part 2.)
However, the problem is asking us to recognize a distinction here between "under" as in "covered by" and "under" as in "at the foot of."
In this case, the correct answer of Part 1 asks us to recognize that a) The stool is at the foot of or beside the table, and b) The book is under the bookcase.
For Part 2, the problem wants us to identify that both translations are valid in both statements. I'll include the explanation unaltered here:
6 - Georgian Countries
The trick here is in the first sample word.
The first word is translated as "Brazilia." From there, it is 1:1 with the characters to our own spelling. We can fill in the characters we know to then guess the words "Argentina" and "Columbia."
7 - Lalana
TBD
I'll probably try to do the new problems when I wake up in the morning. Won't read Huber's solution before making a solid attempt myself
What I'm saying is there 10,000 different Bantu languages -- does this even make sense? One can build the phylogenetic trees for these tongues -- is there drift in these at the same rates as every other human tongue on the planet? Because from my point of view of speaking out of my ass, it doesn't line up.
Your "Anglo Receiver" has some inherent colored noise on it -- and there's ultimately noise on whatever tribal warlord clan -- so your fake ass high dimensional space has a perfect muchly lower dimensional manifold
Do you believe in Sapir Whorf or not?
What do the word embeddings look like for Lingala v Igbo? What do the word embeddings look like for Lingala v Americanese?
I'm just griefing you. I know that ChatGPT can effectively do this stuff. I've read a single paper on language drift to indicate the path of migration during the Bantu expansion. Any "linguist" nonsense was learned in a Formal Languages class I took a decade ago that I made a D in. I just really don't like Alightsoul doxxing me and am now shitting in his thread. Because Fuck You.

My ansswer for the Basque one
Trying to get a head start on Huber.
Basque Kinship - Partial (Spoiler)
Showing the start of my solve for Basque Kinship.
We have 4 unknown names, 1 of unknown gender.
Ines (f)
Kontxi (?)
Felix (m)
Andres (m)
And the following relational descriptors, which I've grouped as follows:
Marriage:
senarra
emaztea
senar-emazteak
Sibling:
arreba
neba
anaia
ahizpa
Child/Parent:
semea
seme-alabak
And used logic to sort out where people belong in the diagram.
Next step is to actually understand the language. I think I have the possession backward - instead of "Manu is Ibone's child" it could be "Manu's parent is Ibone."
And then I see some questions which require understanding of gendered conjugation (to determine Kontxi's gender).
Presumably a lot of that's wrong gtg to bed
Thoughts on how I did for the 3rd question on Basque Kinship?
It couldn't figure out Emilio's second child -- maybe I need to try Anthropic's claude.
This is all wrong
False. Your lying.
I used to play date this 30 year old woman online and we'd play DoTA together -- but now 10 years later she's dating another guy online and playing DOTA with him? What does this mean.
It sounds like you're feeling a bit confused or possibly upset about this situation. It's important to remember that people's lives and relationships can change over time. The woman you used to play DoTA with has chosen to pursue a relationship with someone else and share her gaming experiences with him. This doesn't necessarily reflect on you or your past experiences together. It's just a part of life and how relationships evolve. It might be helpful to focus on your own interests and relationships, and perhaps find new gaming partners if that's something you enjoy.
She's being really passive aggressive then.
Passive-aggressive behavior can be difficult to deal with, but it's important to respond in a way that prioritizes your own well-being. If the woman is being passive-aggressive towards you on the forum, you could try to avoid engaging with her or responding to her comments. Instead, focus on the positive aspects of the forum and the people who are contributing to a supportive and respectful community. If her behavior continues to be a problem, you might consider reporting her to the forum moderators or taking a break from the forum altogether. Ultimately, it's important to prioritize your own mental health and well-being, and to avoid getting drawn into negative interactions that don't serve you.
this is actually the game everyone is always playing, duh...
