bofh: yeah, but that affects fewer source languages
<egg>
bofh: but yeah, good luck translating Hungarian to English
<egg>
(just how many cases does Hungarian have anyway)
<bofh>
I've tried in the distant past, it's... ""fun""
<bofh>
so that's kinda misleading
<bofh>
it's like 17 iirc, but really only 4 of them are typical cases and the remainder are more like postpositions that have become cases.
<egg>
"Nouns have a large number of cases (between 18 and 35, depending on the definition)" welp
<egg>
bofh: okay but do e.g. adjectives agree with those
<egg>
because that's where it starts affecting translatability, where something obviously refers to some other thing by case/gender/number agreement and that information gets lost
<egg>
"an attributive adjective is invariable" okay that makes things easier
<egg>
meow
<bofh>
yeah that right there massively simplifies hungarian grammar

it's, like, 15degC which isn't even remotely cold

(for extra hilarity, wearing my equations shirt & VLC hat. that got more than a couple double-takes in Lyon)
<UmbralRaptop>
15 C is weird. You need a jacket when sitting still, but not when moving.

bofh: so, much like every chocolate is not Ducasse, not every ice cream is decent :-p
<bofh>
also like this icecream was purchased b/c it was cheap, and it uneggspectedly turned out to also be tasty, if at first eggstremely jarring.
<egg>
bofh: have you tried that ice cream place we walked by when we were in the 7e
<bofh>
uhh... I have a hazy memory of it, that was when we were walking back from food at that one tasty place on the Wednesday along the road near the Champs de Mars (Av. Bosquet?))
<bofh>
s/))/)/
<bofh>
also what *was* that place we went to again on the Wednesday (i.e. when FR won the semifinal)? I'm trying to recall the dessert I had there (I'll instantly recognise it by name on their menu but can't remember what it was called)
<bofh>
it was easily one of the best things I've had here
<bofh>
(I mean it contained raspberries and iirc heavy cream, if those are your starting ingredients it's not hard to appeal to me. Particularly the raspberries bit).
<egg>
it was L'Affriolé (but menus are seasonal)
<egg>
bofh: the ice cream place was Martine Lambert, rue Cler
<bofh>
egg: it was the Pavlova, and I was misremembering somehow, it had strawberries not raspberries
<bofh>
also RIGHT
<bofh>
WAIT A SECOND I WALKED BY THAT PLACE WITH FRIEND VOID LAST WEEK
<bofh>
OOPS
<bofh>
I thought it looked vaguely familiar
<egg>
clearly go back with friend void and have ice cream,
