When I'm searching for do I ask "Wherewolf?" or "Wherewerewolf?" if it was a group of werewolves that are gone "Wherewerewolves"?

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 10 points 2 weeks ago

And if you want to know where they used to be, not where they are, you have to ask "Wherewerewerewolves?"

But you never ask "howwolf?" ☹️

I think I would say "more like was wolf " Makes the same point without explaining even if it sounds a little clunky.

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

I believe wolf should be pronounced as woofl. Fewer people would be afraid of a woofl than a wolf.

Me after killing a werewolf, but I realize some of the blood got on my open wound and I'm now transforming: more like WE'REwolf?

Edit: I like to imagine the one single down vote was cast alongside a potentially heavy sigh of disappointment after they read my comment

Are there any situations where the second person singular forms of a verb are not the same as the plural ones?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The verb follows the conjugation of the subject, and in modern English, the singular second person is the same word as the plural second person (you) , but that wasn't always the case. In Old English, the second person plural was thou, and verbs conjugated differently - for example, you are (singular) and thou art (plural).

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You mixed up singular and plural, thou was used for singular/informal situations and ye (you) was used for plural/formal situations

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, so I did.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You pronounce those differently?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think werewolf is pronounced the same as "where"
