taco bell grande

my mom had a foreign exchange student from greenland who spoke danish and greenlandic and she refused to say "taco bell grande" when she ordered from taco bell, even though she only ever wanted that. my mom's assumption was that it sounds like something in one or the other of those languages that made it sound bad. does anyone know what that may have been?

Hello, everyone! I'm Michael and I'm the owner of Polyglottery University! It is a language server with a fantastic community that is always looking for new members! We have many languages to choose from, so if you're interested in teaching, learning, or anything related to language learning, come join! See you there! In the server, you choose all of your languages you already and want to learn. After that, you can only message in the language specific to each channel.

If you want to ask a question in another language about a language, please do so in that language's corresponding general chat. To practice speaking, we have a voice channel where you can do so. We have many members from many places, so if you can get a practice partner or teacher within minutes!

Discord server about Greenlandic and Inuit-Yupik-Unangan varieties

Aluu, in case you haven't noticed yet, but there is a server on discord with an all Inuit-Yupik-Unangan scope and we'd still like to invite you there for discussions, learning experiences, cultural explorations and general chitchat, maybe even in Kalaallisut? Native speakers are also very much welcome, we could always use the linguistic and cultural exchange and maybe some practicing experiences. :))

Here is the link to our discord server: https://discord.gg/vzvEMwG

We are looking forward meeting you there. Qujanarujussuaq!

Adjectives

What is the difference between an adjective/attribute in these two sentences:

"Anda has a blue sweater"

"The sweater is blue"

In this case, the adjective/attribute is "blue". I have learned how to use them in sentences like the second one, but I don't know how to say things like the first.

Qujanaq :)

What's the warmest greeting I can give to someone Inuk, or who is fluent in Greenlandic?

Is there a way to say "Greetings and slutations!" in Greenlandic?

Like to someone who might say to an anglo like me: "Niuerneq means business"

And also what is the most proper way to close a letter, like 'warm regards,' or "Cheers" in Greenlandic. Thanks for your help!

Great Greenlandic Bands

Haluu! I dunno about you guys, but it really helps me to listen to music when I'm learning a new language. For Kalaallisut, I've been listening to Nanook's album "Nanook." It's pretty great! There're a lot of great bands on music.greenland.com, and a some of them sing in Kalaallisut! Check it out! Takuss'!

Greenlandic and related languages.

It's not easy to distinguish the dialects of Kalaallisut/Inuvialuktun/Inuktitut/Inupiaq but I'll give my best, maybe this will help to get a better overview of the Inuit languages.

  • Greenlandic:

Kalaallisut is the standart dialect of the greenlandic language and has it's origin in the western part of Greenland, it's virtually identical to the standart greenlandic. (50.000 native speakers)

Tunumiisut is spoken in east Greenland, some people see it as a distinct language but it's generally considered a divergent dialect of Greenlandic. (3000 native speakers)

Inuktun is spoken in the northernmost part of greenland (surroundings of Qaanaaq) and is a dialect of the Canadian Inuktitut and Kalaallisut. (800 native speakers)

  • Canadian Inuit languages:

Unlike the languages spoken in Greenland most of the Canadian Inuit languages have in addition to the looped cursive Cree syllabics.

Inuktitut is by far the biggest language of the canadian Inuit languages, it has many dialects such as: Inuttitut, Inuktun, Qikiqtaaluk niginiani, Qikiqtaaluk uannanqani... (34.000 native speakers)

Inuvialuktun is sometimes considered as a dialect of Inuktitut and has several (sub)dialects such as: Siglutun, Inuinnaqtun, Natsilingmuitut, Kivallirmiutut... (2000 native speakers)

  • Alaskan Inuit languages:

Inupiaq is distinguished in north Alaskan Inupiaq (Qawiaraq) and northwestern Inupiaq. (9000 native speakers)
