• The elative case (elatiivi), denoting ‘internal location + from’; e.g. talosta ‘out of a house’.
• The illative case (illatiivi), denoting ‘internal location + to’; e.g. taloon ‘into a house’.
Now, let me understand something (and correct me if I’m wrong)… Even though they mean basically the opposite of each other, their names are pronounced the same in English (/ɪˈleɪtɪv/) 🙃
@immigrish@serlwch@linguistics@languagelovers Ah, got it. I would read MW / ˈē-lə-tiv/ as IPA /ˈiːlətɪv/ and MW /'i-lə-tiv/ as IPA /ˈɪlətɪv/, first-syllable stressed, only with differing vowels [iː / ɪ].
My source was Wiktionary, which lists both illative and elative as /ɪˈleɪtɪv/ in UK pronunciation. Perhaps there’s dialectal variation within the UK with this regard. The Wiktionarian who added the pronunciation information for both is I'm so meta even this acronym, who is a native speaker of Welsh and English (see here and here).
Really? You're integrated in the OS. The OS with root level access to the device with built in GPS where you've already hassled me into most (all?) of the location sharing permissions and you can't tell me at the most base level where TF I am?
I have no idea what I built but I spent the better part of two days doing it.
Let your imagination run wild Mastodon! Did I just become a level 2 Druid, awaken the Old Ones, or am I cosplaying Close Encounters of the Third Kind? #scifi#dnd#horror#wtf
