      That’s exactly how it works in German.

      Gebäude (“built”) for building

      Gemälde (“painted”) for painting

      Gedichte (“thing that was said”) for poem

        No, built is “gebaut” not “Gebäude”. The “Ge- -e” circumfix is unrelated to the past participle. It can also be used with nouns, see “Gebirge” (range of mountains) from “Berg” (mountain)

    This is less of a brag and more a question for the philosoraptor.

    Edit: Apologies… didn’t even notice that [email protected] beat me to this observation.

    I think I would’ve used the philosoraptor instead to make this meme. The idea guy isn’t typically used to ask questions. [Edit: I see it’s been changed to philosoraptor, nice !👌]

    Why are they called gaming laptops when they don’t play the games themselves?

      I want to see a laptop capable of fully simulating how pro gamers truly react. AI on its own right now isn’t there yet but monitor manufacturers are implementing “basically cheating” features in that direction.

      And if there’s a highway, why don’t they talk about it on c|trees

      (And why doesn’t the markdown page say how to reference communities?)

    You don’t building, no you build a building.
