Jonathan: "Yeah, I remember being in the dark about stuff a lot when my Russian and Kazakh weren't very good: ‘Where are we? Why're we here?’"
Tekla: "‘Why's there a sheep boiling in the front yard?’"
Jonathan: "I mean, in Kazakhstan a cellphone is like a toothbrush, but in America, it's more like a bicycle."
Michael: "I donno, I knew some people in Kazakhstan who didn't brush their teeth, but you can bet they had a phone."
(22:46:56) Анара: хотя снова я скажу это что
(22:47:05) Анара: Kazakh girlz rulez!!!
(22:47:24) Анара: больше чем кыргызки и другие номадки
[ўзбекча менен кыргызча билген Араб менен сүйлөшкөндө]
Гүлмира: "А казакча билесизби?"
Араб: "Жок."
Гүлмира: "Бирок казакча менен кыргызча почти бир тил."
Араб: "Разница бар!"
Гүлмира: "Ии, кечиресиз. Разница бар десеңиз, сизге ишенем."
(02:21:33) Rianna: i'm hungry for something, but i'm highly unsure what
(02:22:20) Rianna: but i dunno, i don't wanna cook up pea soup now
(02:22:40) [me]: well, bawırsaq might be good
(02:22:46) [me]: I had some really good boorsoq today
(02:23:01) [me]: bog'irsoq isn't too hard to make
(02:23:05) [me]: I have a recipe
(02:23:09) [me]: though I've never actually tried it
(02:23:19) Rianna: mitä vittuu toi o?
(02:23:30) [me]: a type of fried dough / bread
(02:23:31) [me]: kind of
(02:23:37) Rianna: hahaha
(02:23:38) Rianna: nice
(02:23:41) [me]: ?
(02:23:50) Rianna: you answered my question :-p
(02:23:54) [me]: ..?
(02:23:55) [me]: so?
(02:24:08) Rianna: it was in another language..?
(02:24:13) [me]: oh shit
(02:24:15) [me]: wtf
(02:24:19) [me]: okay
(02:24:26) Rianna: i just asked you what the fuck is that
(02:24:30) Rianna: and you just answered that
(02:24:30) [me]: I guess I'm just used to guessing what people are saying half the time anyway
(02:24:46) [me]: don't really pay attention to how they say it unless I'm in linguist mode
(02:24:47) Rianna: you should put that on your quotes page to show off your mad skillz
(02:25:16) Rianna: you're a....demigod among linguists, Jonathan
(04:38:57) Jóhann: youd like this song :P
(04:39:03) Jóhann: kazakh weird music is the genre
(01:43:50) Шыңғыс: i am a future politician
(01:44:01) Шыңғыс: i have to be insane
Jonathan: "Суп жақсы екен."
Қали: "Суп емес—повор жақсы."
(16:00) Анара: Ok, come here and не болтай по-кыргызски, а то мой папа тебя из дома выгонит и будешь спать на улице.
(13:06:16) Derek: I wanted to say thanks for speaking Kazakh (etc) around me all the time
(13:06:41) Derek: I think it's giving me a big edge in my Uighur class right now
(13:07:28) Derek: Turkic seems familiar to me instead of something strange, which is something the other students I would say definitely lack ;)
"You see, it's different for you: Kyrgyz and Kazakh girls are actually attractive."
Stefan: "Okay everyone, remember, besh barmaq at my place on Friday."
Michael: "More like yigirme besh barmaq."
(04:02:04) [me]: let's do sheep based on land area now
(04:02:43) [me]: Kazakhstan: 15'217'700 / 2,724,900 km²
(04:03:06) [me]: Kyrgyzstan: 5'264'000 / 199,900 km²
(04:03:11) [me]: oops
(04:03:16) [me]: I think I'm doing humans :-P
(04:03:52) kesuari: unless you're kiwi, that's what I'd expect you to "do"
Jonathan: "Інің неге келмеді?"
Anara: "Потому-что there is no қыздар."
(00:11:39) kesuari: anyway, on notes unrelated, have you got anywhere a list of soundchanges from some earlier form of the language to kazakh/kyrgyz?
(00:12:09) [me]: no, but I could make one really quickly
(00:12:22) kesuari: could you?
(00:12:31) kesuari: there needs to be a turkic romlang
Hamit aka: "I think Uzbek is the hardest—Uzbekistan is so small, and yet there are so many dialects of Uzbek. Xinjiang is big, but there are only three dialects of Uyghur. And Kazakhstan is huge, but there are no dialects."
Stefan: "Yeah. Russian's the same everywhere."
(00:04:32) kesuari: eü -> ew is nothing...
(00:05:04) [me]: actually, not's not true
(00:05:45) [me]: didn't you look at that chart I sent? ;)
(00:06:29) kesuari: oh, w desonorises!
(00:06:32) kesuari: that’s awesome
(00:06:32) [me]: yeah =)
(00:06:42) [me]: I remember noticing that about 2 years ago
(00:06:46) [me]: and coming to the same conclusion
(00:07:00) kesuari: lol. yeah, your opinions are contagious or something
Shyngys: "This is the first time I'm showing up late to this class, so it's okay."
Jonathan: "Yeah, but it was because of music."
Shyngys: "But it was Kazakh music, so it was worth it."
Anara, Palao isn't Kazakh for plov, plov is Russian for palao. Don't ever forget that.
Jonathan: "Kazakh isn't that hard—I don't know why all the materials that teach it are so bad."
Ardak: "I think it's because the Soviet system made things unnecessarily complicated."
"Let me tell you, Chuck-for-the-buck is the best."
"Kazakh is sweet piece of cake comparing to Russian.. Russian is even more harder than English..."
Jonathan: "People never write on your wall. They write on my wall all the time."
Derek: "Yeah, that's because you're friends with an entire country."
Jonathan you make kazakh people go WOW!
"Why is it that the Kazakh flag strikes me as Romulan somehow?"
"Who could judge whether this is right or wrong in… not well known languages?—let's put it that way."
03:36:29 [me]: cardinal vowels are so wrong
03:36:44 [Tristan]: oh, yeah, they're quite arbitrary
03:37:58 [me]: very franco-centric, though, if you ask me
03:39:24 [me]: btw, Kazakh has aspirated voiceless stops
03:39:27 [me]: go figure
03:39:40 [me]: but those voiceless stops voice and fricativise on occasion :)
03:40:11 [Tristan]: the primaracy of voice distinction in stops is also very fraco-centric :)
03:40:28 [Tristan]: maybe the americans should make their own freedom phonetic alphabet :)
"Don't swallow endings, Scott. Otherwise you'll be getting fat."
"I want my genie to come."
Jonathan: "It's funny; you said you were worrying about American life before you came to America; I worried about Kazakh life before I went to Kazakhstan."
Zaure: "But you have reason to worry about Kazakh life."
"Usually I just huddle up in my room and conjugate things."
"You are not the only victim of the Russian language."
"I think they would fall down on their asses laughing if Jay-Z came out in traditional Kazakh garb and started keepin’ it real with his dombra."
