teft@piefed.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's weird how we say "go to sleep" as if sleep is a placeEnglish2·2 months agoI think it’s because the “to” in those phrases are part of “to sleep” not part of “go to”. The “to” modifies the verb “sleep” to be an infinitive and the “go” is an imperative verb.

If I’m not careful, a snack attack can easily ruin my diet.
There are many translations for different phrases.

Tengo cuidado would translate to “I am careful” literally it’d be like “I have care”.
teft@piefed.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's weird how we say "go to sleep" as if sleep is a placeEnglish11·2 months agoI think that’s more that tener (to have) doesn’t always mean a physical thing.
As an example in spanish they use tener for age. As in tengo 20 años literally is “I have 20 years” but it means “I am 20”
Or ten cuidado means “take care” or “be careful” but literally is more like “have care”. Both phrases use tener in a nonphysical sense in the same way as in english we use “to have”. Like to have compassion or to have doubts.
So go ahead. Ghost me. But know this: I’ll still be here, and you’ll still be running from the fact that you already care what I think enough to argue with me.
Usually I downvote ai drivel but that line had me in stitches. Bravo.

[serious]English1·3 months agoIf I can’t sleep I get out of bed and play video games until I fall asleep. Sometimes that means a full night of gaming but most of the time I get tired after an hour or so.
I don’t cook over open flames. Only coals.
Also this is just to start the fire. You build up a larger bed after your kindling gets going.
IMHO the cabin is second best. Teepee is the best for building fires.

Going the way of tumblr? I’m sure it will work out well for them. /s
