Evidently this comes directly from Latin. It’s not obvious for sure.

tychosmoose@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•South Korea minister heads to US following Hyundai ICE raidEnglish2·5 days agoYeah, this. I’m probably more aware of and familiar with world languages than the average American, but I have flipflopped between die and day pronunciations of Hyundai. I tried to figure out why that might be and I think it’s probably related to the romanization differences among several east Asian languages. This seems most problematic with older romanization methods. Newer ones feel more intuitive.
For example I’m meant to pronounce the ‘ai’ in Taipei, Saipan and zaibatsu as rhyming with “die”, but the ‘ai’ in Hyundai and waifu as "rhyming with “day”. So it’s memorization and context. Which feels very appropriate as an English speaker when all of our shit is irregularities and exceptions!

It was handed over on Wednesday to the Argentinian judiciary by the daughter of the late Nazi financier Friedrich Kadgien, Patricia Kadgien, who has been under house arrest with her husband since Tuesday.

tychosmoose@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•[Solved] My OpenSUSE Tumbleweed install broke and I can't rollbackEnglish2·17 days agoIs it possible that you didn’t enable snapshots during installation of TW, and then turned it on later?
That seems to be a common explanation on the openSUSE forum when .snapshots is missing from fstab (found by searching for the error you are hitting). There are some threads with workarounds. Basically, mount the .snapshots subvol manually, re-try the rollback and then add .snapshots to fstab so it works in the future.
Oh my!
