#interjections

[martinakl13]

I think a lot about what the way they talk can tell us about our Crows. For example, interjections.

Unsurprisingly, Nina and Inej use all variants with Saints (Saints; All Saints; For Saints' sake) and Wylan uses Ghezen (Ghezen; Ghezen and his works). Matthias of course has Djel (Djel; Sweet Djel; For Djel's sake).

Now comes the interesting part. Jesper uses Saints, many times in his own creative way (Saints; All Saints; For Saints' sake; All Saints and your Aunt Eve; All Saints and the donkeys they rode in on) and (!) he also uses Ghezen (Sweet Ghezen). It's quite obvious that Jesper adopted Ghezen during his long stay in Ketterdam, but since he uses Saints much more often, it seems like something he got from his father as a child, since Colm also said many similar things in CK (All Saints; Saints; For Saints' sake). Do they recognise Saints on Wandering Isle? Probably.

And then there's Kaz. What do you think of his interjections? Have you noticed or thought about it? Kaz out loud never used any! Not Ghezen, not Saints, not Djel. There is only one exception where the interjection was part of his inner monologue.

Chapter 3, SoC:

"As Kaz headed down one of the little canals that would take him past Fifth Harbour, he realised he felt – Saints, he almost felt hopeful."

Oh yes, Kaz in his head when no one could hear him automatically used Saints and it wasn't because he wanted to mentally tease Inej about her Saints. I think the moment he felt almost hope, something from his past slipped out of the dark parts of his mind where he buried everything related to his family. Do we know for sure that Ghezen is the only god the Kerch people know? What about people from the countryside? Do they honour the god of industry, commerce and trade, or someone else who is closer to them? Who remembers where Marya Hendriks was kept? The Church of Saint Hilde. In addition, we also know two Kerch saints, Sankta Margaretha and Sankt Emerens. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Interjections from various parts of the world used by children to pause a game or excuse themselves from play, known as Truce Terms, often accompanied by crossed fingers, crossed arms, or the T symbol. If you were playing tag or knights or ninjas vs pirates or whatever they played when and where you grew up, what did you say?

A Crushing Victory

The first panel drops the dashes. After that we see a batch of interjections get removed.

Burger Bills versus Burger Bill's versus "Burger Bills".

Rest in peace Steve Harwell 🤘😔 In remembrance, I would like to share this archive I made of an obscure EP of School House Rock songs he covered in some kind of promotion with the Mervyn’s department store that I found at a thrift store that doesn’t appear to exist anywhere else online.

Flashback!Guy: The game was tied at 7 all in the game we betted on, right? And Franklin ended up getting the ball. He made a connection in the wrong direction! The wrong direction! Needless to say, the guys started shouting some...interjections.

Cookie: FUCK! He threw it the wrong way!

Schmitty: SHIT! And they just lost the game!

Buzz: Hurray! I bet on the other team!

(Death glares)

Buzz: *gulp* Hurray. I bet on the other team.

(with apologies to Schoolhouse Rock's Interjection song)

We should bring back "Zounds!" as an exclamation of surprise.

[word-for-today]

Wiktionary's list of world languages' equivalent of "ouch", showing that we all make the same noises when we get hurt. (Note: the languages that include the letter V usually pronounce it as the English W, and the ones with X as that gravelly cough sound we don't use in most English outside Scottish words like "loch".) I love that there's even a few for Esperanto, like LL Zamenhof really sat down and figured it out

Most are one-syllable, but not all. I know it's a long shot, but are there any Maori speakers that can talk about "taukahore"? (And anyone else that wants to chime in about how accurate this list is)

Bikini Beat

Exclamations and interjections out. No er. No um. No uh.

Filled in a connecting hole in that bikini. Thematically the suit on the left it does not match, since the plot of this story is "bikinis".

Forcing things into proper grammar I guess. Or more we moving out of the specific and into the broader world.

Independent Elements

  Independent Elements in a Sentence: 

Grammatically independent elements in a sentence are components that can stand alone as complete thoughts but are incorporated into a larger sentence to provide additional information, emphasis, or clarity. These elements are often set off by punctuation marks to signal their independence. Grammatically independent elements include:   Direct Address:   Example: John, please pass the salt. Explanation: John is a direct address, where the speaker directly communicates with someone. It is set off by a comma (,) and does not affect the grammatical structure of the main sentence.     Parenthetical Words/Phrases:   Example: The weather, surprisingly, turned warm. Explanation: Surprisingly is a parenthetical word that provides additional information. It is set off by commas (,) and can be removed without affecting the sentence's core meaning.       Parenthetical Clauses:   Example: The movie, in my opinion, was not as good as the book. Explanation: In my opinion is a parenthetical clause providing the speaker's viewpoint. It is set off by commas (,) and is not crucial to the sentence's structure.       Interjections:   Example: Wow, that was an amazing performance! Explanation: Wow is an interjection expressing strong emotion. Interjections are often set off by commas (,) and exist independently of the sentence's structure.       Appositive Phrases:   Example: My best friend, Sarah, just got engaged. Explanation: Sarah is an appositive set off by commas (,). It provides additional information about my best friend but is not essential to the sentence's core meaning.   These elements are grammatically independent because they can be removed from the sentence without affecting its basic structure or core meaning. However, they add nuance, emotion, or clarification to the overall message. Punctuation, such as commas or dashes, is often used to set off these elements and signal their independence from the main structure of the sentence.        

Punctuation for Independent Elements:

  Commas: (,) Independent elements are often set off by commas to distinguish them from the main sentence. Example: John, please pass the salt.     Parentheses: ( )  Parentheses can also be used to enclose independent elements. Example: The weather (surprisingly) turned warm.     Dashes: (--) Em dash can be used for a more emphatic separation of independent elements. Example: She—the one with the red hat—arrived first."     Maintaining Clarity: Independent elements contribute to clarity but should not disrupt the overall flow of the sentence. Ensure that the sentence remains coherent even if the independent element is removed.   Variety in Sentence Structure: Using independent elements allows for a variety of sentence structures, making writing more engaging. However, it's important not to overuse them to maintain balance and readability.   Expressive Writing: Independent elements are often employed in expressive writing to convey the speaker's tone, emotions, or unique style. They add a personal touch to the language.   Editing for Precision: During the editing process, pay attention to the placement and punctuation of independent elements. Ensure they are appropriately integrated into the sentence for precision and impact.             Independent Elements Parallelism in English Grammar What is Adverbial Modifier of a Sentence What is the Attribute of a Sentence?
