Don't try to learn standard Indonesian from me, it is already mixed with the Papuan dialect (of Indonesian/Malay).

Are these Schrödinger's feet? They're both large and small at the same time?
其实很简单:德国人的脚本来处于又大又小的叠加态,而被观察后或者会变大或者会变小。Imralu观察的德国人脚都变小了,而Znex的祖父的脚被观察后变成了大的。
It's actually very simple: German people's feet initially exist in a superposition of being both large and small, and after they are observed, they become either large or small. The German feet that Imralu observed all became small, while Znex's grandfather's feet after being observed became large.


I went ahead and assumed that Znex was referring to his paternal grandfather; apologies if that is not the case.

Kwa kawaida miguu miwili wa Mjerumani mmoja ni karibu mikubwa sawa, kwa hivyo huende inanasana.
Generally the two feet of a single German are roughly the same size, so maybe they are entangled.

Itu kata-kata yang orang belajar di universitas [:D]
These are the kind of words that one learns in university.

Apa lagi pakai kata 'anda'. Cuma bule dan orang sopan sekali pakai kata itu. [xD]
Also the word 'anda'. Only westerners and very polite people use it.


Sa waktu itu bisa pili Bahasa Suwahili atau Bahasa Hausa. Sa pili bahasa Hausa. Menarik tapi sa tra bisa bicara bahasa Hausa sama sekali sampai sekarang.
I was allowed to chose between Hausa and Swahili. I chose Hausa. Very interesting, but I can't speak it at all.

Najua. Aku, kamu. Lakini sikujifunza maneno haya shuleni.
I know. Aku, kamu. But I didn't learn these words at school

...

Ingawa yeye ni kuku ya buluu asiye mzuri nataka kumla kwa sababu tembo yumo kanisani. Tembo wanapokuwamo kanisani mimi nina njaa.
Although he is a blue chicken that is not good, I want to eat him because the elephant is in the church. When elephants are in the church(es), I am hungry.

Kuna Kichina, Kifaransa, Kijerumani, Kiitalia, Kijapani.
There's Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese

Kiindonesia si cha kawaida lakini nafikiri kwamba shule yangu ya sekondari ilikichagua kwa sababu ni rahisi na Indonesia iko karibu na Australia.
Indonesian is not usual but I think my high school chose it because it's easy and Indonesia is close to Australia.

Le Japonais, c'est aussi une langue très intéressant à étudier, mais je dois me concentrer sur des langues qui j’ai déjà commencé. [:'(]
Japanese is also a very interesting language to study, but I have to concentrate myself on the languages I've already begun.

Et finalement, j’ai mon baccalauréat! Je suis content de ma note anglaise. J’ai reçu une A-, mais ma note française, c’est une B- malheureusement (mais aussi compréhensible à mon avis).
And I finally graduated! I'm happy with my English mark. I've got an A-, but my French mark is sadly (but imo also understandably) a B-.

Próbuję znowu uczyć się polskiego. To jest bardzo trudny, jednak próbuję.
