I like to think of humans as caretakers of the earth, all the creatures are just fellow lifeforms doing life things 😁

Chiten pronounced "kai•tn" , now i want orange springtails!!! Can they live in a compost bin instead of getting fish food?
@The-MicroverseАй бұрын
They are adorable 🥹, they are detritivours so a compost bin should work, and Calcium helps with their molting so crushed eggshells will work for that, they might not be as efficient composters as the red worms, but they will put some work in 😁

i was thinking they could cohabutate, the worms and spring tails. Perhaps I shall gather materials to make a terrarium 🙂
@The-MicroverseАй бұрын
Honestly whenever I put them in a terrarium they disappear 😅 they are a good clean up crew, but they need time to boom😁

Kai-tinne Ch pronounced as K because in other languages it's pronounced with the kh sound like in Lo[ch] Ness with Scottish accents, it should be to k what s is to t but in most English dialects you lost that sound and make it a k, kinda the opposite to how Arabic doesn't have p so they call Persian Farsi and so on
@The-Microverse3 ай бұрын
Soo much Gratitude for this 😁, I knew Ch is pronounced as Kh but thats super interesting how it was just lost as a sound, leading to much confuse 😅

@@The-Microverse In ancient Latin C was ALWAYS pronounced as K and pronouncing it sometimes as Ts and then S when in front of fontal vowels (Eh, Ee, etc.) is a much later vulgar Latin invention (colloquial speech that Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Romanian, Romansh, etc. emerged from). Then in super ancient Latin and Greek when you had Ph or Th you pronounced it with an extra aspiration, it was like a tougher, louder, stronger P or T. But then at some point the plosive part of regular P/T was dropped to make the distinction from regular P and T stronger and they became similar to F and the Th sound (the leftover aspiration evolved into fricatives). At that point in when people were seeing that the letter h has this "power" to transform P and T, to turn it into f and th, they started to apply this to C, internationally. When English lost this sound and started to pronounce it as the Tsh sound (and similarly French as Sh and so on), English speakers started to transcribe this sound as Kh in new loan words to avoid the confusion with Tsh, but the old established loan words still retain Ch in spelling

Fascinating!!! I always get confused because loan words usually have like ancient rules so I tend to pick them up best Auditoraly (if thats a word 😅)

@@The-MicroverseEnglish is an absolute сlustеrfuсk of a spelling system for so many reasons that is way too much for a YT comment :D way worse than even French that anglophones love to dunk on as a nonsensical spelling system without realising how theirs is incomparably far worse (but they don't necessarily realise it cause they're so used to it) lol and the multitude of varieties of spellings and pronunciations across dialects does not help, it only amplifies the general theme of randomness and inconsistencies fossilised (to a varying degree) by tradition lol

@@The-Microverselike, when people say that English is so hard to learn. It's actually one of the most learnable languages on the planet (to reach communicative level, later on every language is equally as hard to be on a native-like level). But spelling and pronunciation are some of the few legitimately difficult things to learn, and with spelling it's universal regardless of one's mother tongue and if anyone says otherwise that it wasn't hard for them listen to their broken pronunciation how they just don't realise how they pronounce things wrong the way they are written lol
