minus-squareRedSnt 👓♂️🖥️@feddit.dklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·6 hours agoBecause it can be read as “asian-tuntija” and to me “tuntija” sounds a bit like “tortilla” except “tun” in my language meaning “tuna” so it becomes “asian tuna-tilla”. So what I’m saying is just that it’s the spelling that looks a bit weird to me.
minus-squareMrFinnbean@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·5 hours agoCongrats you splitted the word from the right spot. “Asia” means thing and “asian” means “thing’s” “Tuntea” means knowing or feeling and “tuntija” means a person who knows or feels. So asiantuntija is somebody who knows about the that one spesific thing. Also as a completelly unneccessary attack. Your whole language sounds like what our elementary students sound like when they are learning sweden.

minus-squareRaivoKulli@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 hours agoExpert starts with ex which is almost like sex which is seksi and pert reminds me of Pertti so that’s weird to me. I’m just joking around but yeah it’s all about what we’re used to
minus-squareRedSnt 👓♂️🖥️@feddit.dklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 hours agoOh yeah, we playfully use the word “sexpert” regularly here, so I get it :)
minus-squareRaivoKulli@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 hours agoReminds me of “expertsexchange.com” that was a domain for Experts Exchange, even though I’d guess it’s not what most thought it was at first read lol
