Any language, explain what it means if it’s not English.

For example (as a non-native speaker) I’ve always liked the English word ‘unprecedented’, mostly in the context of fiction. Especially if it paints some entity to be really mystical or wondrous or it’s own never before seen order of magnitude in any way.

    There are plenty of feminine given names that roll off the tongue incredibly well. Names like “Anna” and “Elaine” and “Katherine” do not begin to scratch the surface… But again, I pay more attention to names than the average person because I am obsessed with linguistics, and that obsession is what made me click this thread and type out a reply in the first place.
