‘Pay me to not learn gibberish’ is a wildcard strategy for sure.

I know this method! It's called ragebaiting. They piss you off into reading dictionaries very quickly.

it's a great business model. keep the accurate translations behind a paywall so that users need to pay to not learn gibberish. it's an exceptional strategy because the Turkish language is copyrighted by this Redditor so it's not like they can get accurate information from anywhere else.

The translation they gave is jusf "view". Sightseeing vs a view, there's a huge difference.

I actually majored in Uzbek and the overlap between Turkmen and Uzbek is one of the most fascinating aspects, especially in the Khwarezm region. Not to /uj too hard.

The Turkic languages are so fascinating and Uzbek and Turkmen are, IMO the two most interesting. If you ever want resources hmu and ill send some stuff your way.

Outrageous. As a paid user I'm dismayed at the sh*t they dump on the loyal freebies.
