Another example in Estonian would be (for example) Mercedes - Mersu.

From what I know if you get 16% of the vote you get 16% of the seats, but how does the party choose which person gets to be in parliament? Sorry wrong sub probably I don’t know where to ask

Are things better or worse financially in your country than they used to be?

For example, we often call a tissue a “Kleenex” because it’s the most common brand of tissue.

For example, the Ukrainian language adopted the word 'horror'('горор/горрор') to describe the genre, but there is also the word 'жахи' (literally, 'horrors') that is still used sometimes. As for 'scifi', it's 'наукова фантастика' or just 'фантастика'.

When I say transit zones, which some also call sterile zones, I mean an airport that has the capability of you to get off your inbound flight and go to the outbound one without having to ever see an immigration officer. When I flew to CDG it was like that. However, Gatwick, regardless of whether you booked connecting flights through the same airliner or not, everyone had to be processed through an immigration officer. I am wondering if any more MAJOR airports are like Gatwick, in that, no one can transit through without manual inspection. This is interesting to me

Here in CZ it's sunflower or vegetable oil, probably sunflower being the most common. Olive oil not so much. It's typically reserved just for salad dressings or specialty purposes, not often used in common daily cooking.

Why is that? Too much competition, wrong location, nothing to see or do there,or something else?

Hello fellow europeans! I know its late, but I got no sleep. I am curious how much do people in other european countries usually pay for their mobile plan and what is considered a good deal in their country. I will start. I currently have a Flexible montly non contractual subscription at 9 RON ( ~1.90 € ). At this price point I have unlimited calls and SMS and 10GB of national data, no roaming. 10GB of Roaming in SEE will cost me, if I need in addition for a month, 32 RON ( ~ 6.40€ ). I personally think that this is a steal even for the stiff competition in my country. Also, do you feel like you are being overcharged? Thanks for answering!

Is NATO going to protect Denmark from having Greenland taken from them?

I know that in many urban areas in many countries students can just walk or use public transportation, but what about in suburbs or rural areas?

In the US I grew up in a suburb with no public transportation and took the yellow school buses. My elementary school was only 1.8 kilometers away, but not all of the roads had a sidewalk or a space to walk. I wanted to try cycling to school when I was 11 but my mom said no.

It was about 5km to get to my middle and high school. Many people started driving in high school or at least had a friend or neighbor who drove so they could get a ride. In some middle to upper class communities it’s actually considered “embarrassing” ride the yellow school bus during the last two years of high school.

Hi everyone, I need some inspiration on where to vacation this year.

Do you pronounce it like in English - "wai·fai"? Or do you follow your own languages' rules?

The title basically, but a few points to clarify:

1. Let's call them "EU Country A" and "EU Country B"
2. A citizen of "EU Country A" doesn't yet have a citizenship of "EU Country B".
3. They have decided to get a permanent residency in "EU Country B".

What is the general track to be allowed to vote in "EU Country B" in this case?

Here in Catalonia, despite recent heavy rains, we haven't had park and plaza ornamental fountains on for a few years. Showers at the beach have also been disabled and most grassy areas in Barcelona haven't been watered, leaving them quite brown (although the aforementioned rains have really helped here).

I'm curious to know where in Europe people have also had these restrictions, or others? I'm not even sure if other parts of the Spanish State have had the same restrictions.

I'll start with one.

I worked with a guy called "Tasty". He was bitten by a student in the school we worked in.

According to the Gender Inequality Index 2022, Social Institutions and Gender Index 2023, Women, Business, and the Law 2024, Global Gender Gap 2024, and the SDG Gender Index 2024, European countries are always among the top most gender equal countries in the world. Many of these countries are Nordic.

Why are European countries the most gender equal countries? What is it like being a woman in these countries?

I asked this on r/AskanAmerican and the response was pretty intense and eye opening. So I wanted to get a European point of view too.

Prior to a work meeting, I mentioned how excited my family and I are about our upcoming vacation this summer. A new co-worker asked me “you take your kids on vacation with you?” I was kinda taken aback with this question. I answered that I always brought with my kids along (15 and 12 now) since they were babies and never considered leaving them behind. However, this co-worker mentioned he and his wife RARELY takes his kids (13 and 11) on their yearly vacation, and has only taken 1 vacation with them.

For those that do go on vacation/holiday, do you take your kids or do you leave them with a trusted friend or family?

And if so, how do you lose your right to vote in your country?

So to preface this I am a teacher and hoping to make a module on stories in translation, overall theme is stories that were translated into English. As such the original story can't be in English but any other language.

To help with this I thought I'd ask, do you have any good recommendations for such stories? What stories did you cover in school? Age range here is around 12-18 I'm looking at here, but any story you covered is good.
