Now that I think about it, what does ish even mean and how did it start meaning approximately
BigDaddysMeatWagon
-Ish is actually very old, it comes from the old english suffix -isc meaning the same thing.

According to my quick google search there are also old norse, dutch, and greek suffixes.

If your not using -ish as a Jew, then your not doing it right.

Well, by Judaism's standards you're a Jew if your mother's a Jew, so... Mazal Tov!
WeiYanZhuo
It is strange that they try to apply those religious standards of Jewishness even if someone doesn't believe in the religion, eh?
AyoSis
What? We're very chill, they didn't say they have to believe in anything, just that they can be Jewish if they want to be.
WeiYanZhuo
Not saying there aren't chill ones, but non-chill ones are out there too.
WeiYanZhuo
Penn Jillette married a woman who had Jewish parents. That side of the family keeps trying to demand that the kids are Jewish.
WeiYanZhuo
David Silverman has a section about it in his book where he talks about the fact he used to consider himself Jewish, but not anymore.

Well...only if his grandmother was Jewish, not his Grandfather.

It's that strict? What if your mum is Jewish but you're a potato and do not practice any religion?

I don't think the matrilineality is that strict. I'm pretty sure they don't counter further back than your parents.
popejubal
Depends on which Rabbi you ask.
DeathApocalypse
it is. only two ways to be Jewish: a) your mother is Jewish (and by extension her mother and her mother...) b) convert. source: I'm a Jew
blainetog
Does that mean the children of converts aren't Jewish unless their grandmother also converts?
afriendofmine
Wait ... really? Isn't that kind of ... shitty?
AyoSis
Why? Nobody said they have to believe anything, just that they can be as jewish as they want to be. Christianity is the universalizing (1/2)
afriendofmine
You're a jew only if your mother is jew does not seem pretty chill to me.
AyoSis
That's not even the modern opinion. If so much as a distant relative is Jewish, sure, you can still be as jewish as you want to be.
AyoSis
Religion here. In my experience judaism is very chill, and though I am jewish nobody ever pressured me to believe in god. (2/2)

What a strange idea to not have "-ish" ...
brickonator
I think every language has it in the form of "about" or "approximately", as in "about 11 o'clock" = "11-ish"

Mongolians don't have a word for "the" or "a". So, telling someone to sit down in either "a" chair or "the" 1/2

Latin also lacks articles. It was one of the harder things to get used to.
interopia
same in vietnamese!
eetsumkaus
2/2 that's why you hear a lot of asians drop it in English
eetsumkaus
most Asian languages don't have a definite/indefinite article IIRC. We have words for "that" and "this", but not "the"/"a" 1/2
Supea
I just find articles like a and the to be redundant in languages and adding unwarranted complexity
eetsumkaus
it depends how the language is constructed and used. It's useful in English because the context is typically said, not implied
jackharvest
chair isn't possible -- once must say "any" chair, or "that" chair. 2/2

ICantDecideOnAUserNameAndKeepChangingIt
For those who can't read it: ぐらい is read "gurai" and っぱい is read "ppoi."
ICantDecideOnAUserNameAndKeepChangingIt
Just realized I wrote ぱ instead of ぽ. ぽ is read "po," and is what is written. ぱ (what I wrote) is read "pa."
PsychicSalad
How do you pronounce a double p? "Pe"poi or "P"poi?
JuicyRhino
Like another said, it's called a "glottal stop", and we have it in English. Think of the phrase "uh-oh"- it's the small pause in the middle.
FrankensteinUnleashed
Doubled consonants in Japanese (and some other languages, see British 'bottle' as example) indicate a glottal stop.
eetsumkaus
think of how you say the "pp" in "application". That's how you say it

PsychicSalad
*pomf pomf ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
SnowJay4131
It's a representation of something we don't have a character for; a slight hesitation in between syllables
MaayaAjau
It's a double consonant with a space in between them. For example, 色っぽい(iroppoi/sexy) is pronounced "Irop-poi". A glottal stop.
ICantDecideOnAUserNameAndKeepChangingIt
I always though sexy was えろっぽい. Wouldn't 色っぽい mean something closer to colorful? The wide range of uses for 色 will always confuse me.
Sangrecita
(Disclaimer: not Japanese, just watch a lot of anime.) "ppoi" sounds like "poi" except the p sounds a bit like a stressed b. (1/2)
Sangrecita
(2/2) Just insert "男っぽい" (otokoppoi; manly) into Google Translate and give it a listen. You'll see what I mean.

A bit of an urban legend! I've been on late trains in Japan without getting special passes for it. Maybe you need to request one?
SpittleFairy
I worked in Tokyo, 1,000,000 went through my station every day. You have to request a note. No chance they could just hand them out.
ashmenon
Fun fact: that started because people would kill themselves by flinging themselves onto the train tracks, causing EVERYONE to be late for >>
ashmenon
>> work. Employees needed some way to prove that the delay wasn't their fault.
fenomas
They offer notes, in case people need them to prove to their work or school why they're late.

whyexactly
And I believe they consider 1 minute off schedule to be late
kuschku
Germans consider their trains late, but 98.5% are less than two minutes late, and 96% less than a minute late. The rest is >2h late, though.
DeChief
Not quite; it usually has to be a bit longer, maybe 5 minutes at the least.
Spinnyd
Not at my company, 1 second late is late.
Hayatev3
And they have people who read these notes to foreigners, they're called trainislators.
