Hello!

I’m trying to write a singable (as opposed to literal) version of the chorus of “Gens du pays”, a popular song in Québec.

For reference this is the French original:

Gens du pays, c’est votre tour (people of the country, it’s your turn)
De vous laisser parler d’amour (To let yourselves talk about love)

This is what I have so far:

עם של ארצי היקרה,
לכו לדבר על אהבה

Does the Hebrew make grammatical sense? I’m down for any suggestions to improve it, as long as (1) the two lines rhyme, (2) the meter stays roughly the same (about 8 syllables per line - I know my second line goes over a bit)

Shalom!

I’ll be in Vienna at the beginning of next week to watch Eurovision live (I managed to get a ticket to the first semifinal). I’m coming alone, all the way from North America, and was planning on meeting people once I get here. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find Eurofans who aren’t anti-Israel - in fact, if you’re wondering why I’m posting this here instead of on the Eurovision subreddit, it’s because almost everybody who comments there wants Israel kicked out, and I figured this would be a much less hostile space.

I’m not Israeli myself, but I’m a big fan of Noam Bettan’s song, and if any of you guys (Israeli or even just supporters in the diaspora) also happen to in Vienna, I’d love

Hello,

I’m simulating my own version of Eurovision with a few friends of mine. The countries below are actually yet to be determined, but if the grammar changes based on what country it is, please let me know what all the options would be.

The text I want translated:

“I’m speaking to you live from Vienna, this year’s Eurovision host city! I’m very happy to announce my personal favourites, starting with my 3rd place. My 8 points go to… [country]!

My 10 points go to… [country]!

And finally… my *douze points* go to… [country]!”

More than just what beer you recommend on a taste-level (which is subjective), what locally-brewed beer would you say encapsulates the identity of your province, territory, city, etc? Something you’d be proud to show to a newcomer who’s visiting for the first time and wants to taste “Alberta/Montreal/the Prairies/etc in a can”?

I’m planning on gathering the most upvoted comments for each province, sourcing the beers, and doing a regional blind taste/identification test with my friends!

Hello,

Sort of a nerdy question here, more semantics related than morphology. I’m trying to talk about the speakers of a heritage language, and that the children of these speakers overwhelmingly also speak their parents’ language.

“[La langue en question] bénéficie d’un taux de rétention intergénérationnel(le) élevé.”

Does intergénérationnel agree with taux here, or with rétention? My instinct is the latter, but I’m having trouble parsing the semantic meaning of the two options. I’m wondering if native speakers can distinguish the two meanings.

[Disclaimer: this question is directly at people from specific countries, but since those countries are scattered around the world I figured this would be a better subreddit to ask rather than, idk, r/asklatinamerica etc.]

Citizens of countries whose governments recognize the Republic of China (Taiwan) as the true China (e.g. Guatemalans, Paraguayans, Marshallese, etc):

When you guys talk about China in your day to day lives, is the image in your mind that of the ROC?

For instance if your friend were to mention something about the “President of China”, would your mind go to Lai Ching-te (the ROC president) rather than Xi Jinping?
