A rule - een regel
a line (of text) - een regel
To arrange something - regelen (stress on first syllable)
To govern - regeren (stress on second syllable. No, there's nothing foreigners this is a thing, just gotta know it)
to rule - heersen
ruler - lineaal

Dutch is one of the easier languages for anglophones to pick up but also ... it really isn't, sometimes :P #dutch #languageAcquisition #sundayMeanderings

Is anybody working on that? There are many millions of parents, hundreds I know, who are desperate for that all over the world. So their kids can play and learn and work, but....just as in physical space...only in areas their parents think about and allow.

Surely that must exist or somebody has set up something similar?

If this really doesn't exist and somebody wants to do this #startup, DM me.

#introduction post for my linguistics account, updated as of 2025:

Hi! I'm Daisy, I have my MPhil in theoretical #linguistics from UiT, the Arctic University of Norway. I am academia adjacent and greatly displeased.

My research interests are (adult) second/third/nth #languageAcquisition, #multilingualism and #multilectalism, #nativelanguages, and language revitalization. I'm primarily into #syntax.

My main account is @theklokwerkparallel where I'll probably talk about more general things!

Lately I've been watching/listening to a lot of content about #ComprehensibleInput regarding #LanguageAcquisition . What's been tripping me up is that most content creators say the Goldilocks range is knowing 95-98% of the words and then a few minutes later they say that you should only be highlighting unknown words once every page or two. If each page has 250-750 words and 2-5% of words on the page are unknown, the MATH says 4-40 words on each page are unknown.
