      That’s exactly how it works in German.

      Gebäude (“built”) for building

      Gemälde (“painted”) for painting

      Gedichte (“thing that was said”) for poem

        No, built is “gebaut” not “Gebäude”. The “Ge- -e” circumfix is unrelated to the past participle. It can also be used with nouns, see “Gebirge” (range of mountains) from “Berg” (mountain)

    This is less of a brag and more a question for the philosoraptor.

    Edit: Apologies… didn’t even notice that loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works beat me to this observation.

    Why are they called gaming laptops when they don’t play the games themselves?

      And if there’s a highway, why don’t they talk about it on c|trees

      (And why doesn’t the markdown page say how to reference communities?)
