Can ergative languages have a passive construction?
https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/q … nstruction
I've recently started reading more about ergative languages, such as Basque. I understand that cases in ergative languages differ from nominal-accusative languages. For example, a sentence like "I go" would be "Me go", because the subject is the patient.

it is amazing how fast the internet has changed learning for those who want to learn, there are so many lessons in so many subjects, you can even turn casual watching into a form of sub conscious knowledge by acquisition of repeating sound and recognition without grammar lessons.
Languages on Mars might rise with the arrival of new people and certain community and cultures might have a natural death, among teens you can see a subculture within peoples or nations and language community, the subculture is a group of people within a cultural society that differentiates from the mainstream, they might follow their bands different to the mainstream, wacth certain movies or or have their own tribe fashions, or use different slang, mannerisms, and argot, the Punk Rockers could be classed as a Sub Culture, the Rappers or the Gamers, subcultures are often in search of what is 'Hip' or Cool, the Charleston, Blues or Swing or 'Jazz' was once a youth sub culture, it might be criticized today as no longer wanted or popular as losing its roots and now old and elitist, thr growth of cities might have expanded subculture, the urban tribe or neotribalism, through gaming and the internet subcultures expand, grow, die and get replaced by other cultures even faster, a sub culture can be a mix of many things it can be 'high culture' high art and Lowculture Art that other Artists may deem to be "inferior" youth might form their own culture outside of work, home and school, the United States culture and Hispanic culture may have similarity but their own unique differences the jocks unusual in having athletics specifically affiliated with schools, within an area for example Spain has Regional folk cultures, different languages, within each community each group of teenagers might share a similar 'sub-culture' with those of a different language and region, the Rockeros may embrace old American rock and roll and favor classic rock songs and looks, Latin America as has a dance hall culture, tradition Flamenco from the South of Spain and dances such as Salsa, Merengue Mambo, Zouk, Reggaeton, Tango, Latino culture is extremely diverse, every teen culture on Earth seem to have followers of the popular Japanese cartoon and video game cultures. Some Latin American cultures seem to follow the same music made by DJ's of North America and Europe, samples from songs, tribal, ambient classical harmony, with a funk bass line or a mixture of house and trance beats. The Spanish also had Geeks culture, the frikis a Mexican equivalent word for the nerd or geek maybe similar to the Japanese 'Otaku' gamer, an Otaku can be seen as negative a withdrawn hermit, they also had other slang or negative names applied to groups of people. Chairo feminine chaira the pot smoking gamer who wears a Che T-Shirt and holds a far-left ideology, specifically any person who thoughtlessly defends, idolizes, and fawns over a populist politician, a weed addict involved in politics with a similar to that of a religious fanatic, similar terms in other Spanish-speaking countries include perroflautas in Spain, zurdos in Argentina and comunachos in Chile
Javier Milei was seen using such slang and terms about current 'culture' before his election. He used social media as trump did to get elected and videos were widely shared on the you tubes the face books the tik toks and websites that were uniquely Spanish culture
https://www.tiktok.com/@maxvadillo77/vi … 8631665925
One of the most popular websites in the Spanish speaking world is now gone, it also was a window into popular Spanish culture and sub cultures.
Sometimes a website dies and the internet can lose something, Taringa! served the Hispanic culture, it was a goofy pop culture site like a video of the day or 9gag or cracked dot com or meme site, it had some news or politics but didn't really have much to say, it was an Argentine-based social networking, there might have been links to piracy of tv shows or music on the site. Taringa! was included by the FBI as a websites investigated for copyright infringement. In March 2024 they said the website would shut down due to changing trends in social media platforms, maybe the culture of Argentina started changing, Javier Milei the President of Argentina in December 2023, his views already changing the 2024 Argentine political landscape. The truth of it is Taringa! seemed to be in a recent decline, online Spanish news papers seemed to do ok, people had already started to move to the new instagrams, tiktoks, Anime and Gamer sites, whatsapps,

2000 Years ago one might have not guessed the Spanish would culturally take most of the world, it even spread to North America, Rome was far more powerful the center the Empire, then over time Rome expanded and collapsed but the Spanish language is from the Italic, pre-Spanish family, Latino-Faliscan, Italian, Latin, Romance family the languages are still so close they can often understand each other without having learned each other's native tongues.
Portuguese, French and Romanian are all of this family but are all national languages of their respective countries of origin.

'Anyone can learn to read and write in Korean!'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdoKOOlaRWA
Compared to Japanese or Chinese the Korean alphabet, known as Hangul the modern official writing system is far more easy to learn, it uses 24 basic letters: 14 consonant sound letters and 10 vowel letters but then combos stacked on top of each other or or next to each other, complex letters that are formed by combining far less complex than Chinese or Japanese .
Japan is a different country sometimes considered 'The West' sometimes not Shinto is popular in Japan, many in Japan perhaps close to half of the population as Shinto followers or another half identify as followers of Buddhism. However depending on how you might ask a question they might respond they are Atheists or follow a Spiritual superstition way? Christianity has been in Japan but is a minority religion, there are much larger Christian populations in South Korea in Japan Christianity less than 1% of the population.
Here is a Japanese language video asking if Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are actually the same origin?

For a while we thought humans unique but with AI we see humans might share many things with animals, some animals may have complex language they use immediate body signals and gesture and movement, they might have 'song' a form of music and immediate sounds and speech but so far as we understand they do not try send a signal through time, past, the present and future
only the human will try write a poem for someone gone and dead in the past, a human they will try transmit a mail or letter in the current, maybe even write a book to tell a story to a distant relative in the future

what did they say? how did this human interpret the information and where did the message go to?
Painted images and symbols appear on cave walls and rock shelters throughout the world. But researchers have had a tough time identifying how long ago various instances of rock art were created. Radiocarbon analyses of bits of paint removed from cave paintings have yielded inconsistent results.
Aubert and Brumm’s team opted for a technique called uranium-series dating. This method estimates the time needed for mineral deposits to form and partially cover some examples of cave art, providing a minimum age for those images. Another team recently used uranium-series dating to show that cave painting began in Western Europe by 40,800 years ago.
If further research confirms that cave art appeared at the same time in Western Europe and Southeast Asia, these practices must have started in Africa before modern humans spread to Europe and Asia 60,000 years ago, Aubert suspects.
More uranium-series dates for Southeast Asian rock art are in the works. Aubert has already scouted caves and rock shelters on Borneo that contain potentially ancient paintings. He plans to do the same in New Guinea. Sulawesi contains more than 100 cave art sites, “and more are discovered every year,” he says.
