Re: The unofficial random questions thread
I'm doing a research project on the etymology of words in the English language. I've decided to focus my project on monsters.
Please list out any words that you associate with monsters. They can be nouns, adjectives and even verbs. Just no proper nouns or names. Here's what I have so far:
"Monster, Goliath, Leviathan, Creature, Beast, Demon, vampire, mummy, Zombie, Skeleton, thrall, Corpse, Dragon, Werewolf, Witch, Wizard, Kaiju, Cyclops, Behemoth, Titan, Golem, Horror, rotten, gigantic, undead, grotesque, "

Re: The unofficial random questions thread
Hmmm, both are interesting but I'm not so sure. Will-o-the-wisp might be too specific. Hag is alright, but I already have witch. Thank you though!
Shadow, Alien, Terror, Weird, Ghoul, Nightmare, Slime, Midnight, Fiend are all going on the list!

Every green lane had its boulder-stone on which an apparition kept watch at night. Every common had its circle of fairies belonging to it. And there was scarcely a shepherd to be met with who had not seen a spirit!

I dunno, the English -> Old English translator I found online couldn't even give me a translation of the words "unlikely descriptions."

Re: The unofficial random questions thread
Does your tutor natively speak German? I studied the language for four years and have used it on few occasions in the decade and change since; in all that time, I can't recall any example of the word "Deutschland" used to define the language itself, nor does that appear to be an acceptable use for the word as defined in the Duden and Langenscheidt dictionaries. Wiktionary doesn't define it that way, either.VoyagerGoji wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 1:47 pmmy tutor said sometimes we translate german to just germany.

"Deutschland" is the German name for the nation of Germany, just like "Nippon" is the Japanese name for the nation of Japan.
