【Question about suffix】Diffeence between -ship and -hood
We say “seamanship”, “friendship”, “partnership” , we do not say “neighbourship’ but say “neighbourhood”. Woulld you explain us definition of two suffixes -ship and -hood? 0003名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイW 70bd-/sHz)2017/07/14(金) 16:36:01.16ID:3oA+OAxj0>>1 Are you a Trump suppoter? 0004名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイ f13a-Xm5V)2017/07/15(土) 00:11:55.43ID:cjOMhd770>>2
Great question! The short story is the difference comes from the history of those words; -hood is from old English, -ship comes from middle english. The words also come from different places; for example both -ship and -hood have roots in German, but -hood is more closely related to modern German.
They also imply slightly different things- -hood usually implies a single location being important; if you move to a different town, your neighbours aren't your neighbours anymore, but your friendship might stay the same.

All my life I've been struggling to find the answers to my millards of questions that never cease to get born in my mind. I had no help from anybody, neither from my English teachers at high school nor in college nor at home nor from anybody else.
So I've gotten used to finding the solutions to my questions all by myself without help. After the advent of the Internet, especially in the past couple of years, I've come to ask for some help from native English speaker volunteers in questions-and-answers forums like wordreference.com.
Still I could always use extra help here on 2-channel as well. If any question comes to my mind, I think I'll ask it of you. Thanks again for your offer.

As far as I know only Macmillan dictionary says "especially the same first name as a member of your family" in its entry's explanation, while others don't.
Looking up the web, there are cases in which "name after" is used and the name given seems not related to their family at all. I'm wondering whether or not the usage generally sound strange. What do you think? Thanks. 0044名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイW c5a8-Gor8)2017/08/06(日) 00:10:22.59ID:RuP10QGl0 I used to be a real estate agent and one day I showed one of my US customers one flat located on 13th floor of huge building in Tokyo. He said that he likes its layout, condition, and rent, but he doesn't want to stay there only because of the floor number. He continued telling me that he was first time seeing a room which is on 13th floor as there is no story between 12th and 14th floor in any buildings in his country. I know the number of 13 is considered to unlucky number for somone in specific religion, but is it true that 13th floor doesn't exist in any tall buildings in whole western contries(Europe and North America)? (sorry for my awkward english) 0045名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイ ad3a-3aaz)2017/08/06(日) 02:46:35.64ID:bn+ojv930>>43 Using "named after" is extremely common. So common, in fact, I myself am named after three people: A German artist, A German scientist, and my Great-Grandfather and whenever people question me about it I always use "named after" in my response.
The reason someone might not seem to be named after a person they're related to is because of two reasons: 1. They might not actually be named after someone they're related to, just someone who their parents admired. I have no direct relation to either the Scientist or the artist. 2. The name they take as a reference might be their middlename, which is rarely written in signature. It's mostly used in legal documents. You just wouldn't see it.
The superstitious fear of the unlucky 13 does exist in America, there's a wikipedia article on it here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_(number)#Unlucky_13 however the people who believe in it are so few in number I have never met one in my life and don't believe I ever will. I have also never seen the 13th floor/item/lane etcetera be skipped due to this belief.
In fact, that belief is so outlandish in most of America I can't help but wonder if the man was either a recent immigrant who may not have even possessed full citizenship, or just claimed to represent America.
If you were to ever find a place that would skip the 13th floor, I would imagine it would most likely be in California, which has a lot of "new-age" hippie types 0046名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイ ad3a-3aaz)2017/08/06(日) 02:47:38.45ID:bn+ojv930>>4 excuse me, I meant to say "odd and UNtrustworthy" 004744 (ワッチョイW c5a8-Gor8)2017/08/06(日) 08:47:37.88ID:RuP10QGl0>>45 Thank you very much! What you mentioned is intriguing! I remmenber the guy is bit curious and loves his home country so much, so he just wanted to represent America I guess. When it comes to the unlucky number, 4 is considered to unlucky only in Japan. We call 4 'yon' or 'shi', and this 'shi' has another meaning which is death. Sometimes I see buildings that skip room no.4 (ex' #101,102,103,105) 0048名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイ ad3a-3aaz)2017/08/06(日) 11:46:44.25ID:bn+ojv930>>47 That's very interesting. Superstition is so odd and diverse from nation to nation, place to place you could probably dedicate a phd to it.
One of the most common American superstitions is the belief in "healing stones."- special rocks that are told to give "positive energy" to whoever possesses or is near them. I know no one that believes in this superstition, but I have seen stores that sell such minerals. 004943 (ワッチョイ 03bd-hgTM)2017/08/06(日) 17:27:32.01ID:WzbqP9Kb0 Thank you for your great reply.

Almost(all?) dictionary examples employ "grandfather" or other relatives. I guess the reason might be those examples would be easy for learners to understand. As for Macmillan, a matter of frequency of occurrence, I think.

Any accents that you have trouble understanding as American?
Not sure if this is because I'm most familiar with American English from watching American shows, but I get the impression that accents in the us are not as varied as ones in the U.K.. I know southern accent too. could it be just because of the fact that I can barely understand British English?

The media probably doesn't pick up on that so much because well, you need to, you know, *understand* the English, lol.
Chinatown and koreatown English are very difficult for me, as well as Vietnamese English. Sailor's English is very difficult for many people. Others have trouble with "deep southern" or some forms of it.
I think this will better come across in video. Here are a few examples:

Actually, diversity in English accents is far greater in the United Kingdom. In the UK, it is possible to guess the accent of someone from 10 miles away while it takes a far greater distance to do that in America. Moreover, even within America, diversity in dialects decreases the further west you go.
That is a stupid thing to say and I am now going to spend the next few days working to prove it 0084名無しさん@英語勉強中 (US 0Ha5-24l8)2017/09/20(水) 17:20:18.47ID:C/O48wKPH>>82 >>83 Actually I'm getting ahead of myself
You wanna know the reason why things seem to get really boring in the west until you reach California? (which is severely misrepresented though) Because *nobody* lives there. Seriously. Most of those states are out populated by cities.
And it makes sense that a small country would have every aspect of distance shrunk. It's why some of the small, old American states seem so eclectic.
But uh, yeah keep in mind that the "decrease in diversity" toward the middle-west is true, but for kindof unfair reasons. Those states are often completely empty for hundreds of mile.
I'm still confused why they completely forgot about cali accents, especially surfer and hispanic ones, balling up one of the most populated states with some of the least and declaring them to be similar enough to be unimportant.

Or do you explain the right way? 0107名無しさん@英語勉強中 (US 0Hdb-gcK6)2017/12/13(水) 16:15:14.49ID:P1KCkQbrH>>106 Yes, yes they can. Americans don't have any issue hearing the difference between th and s, and t is too aggressive of a sound to miss.
Additionally, there aren't very many words that can be confused with "three". Perhaps "tree" could be confused with "three", but in most sentences switching the two wouldn't make sense.
If you want to say three, you exhale, moving your tongue from touching the back of your teeth, to slightly outside of your mouth. 0108名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイ 9fbd-rDls)2017/12/13(水) 21:22:49.32ID:ENU6+b4W0 If I have a lack of a front tooth (an large one), can the "th" sound reach to a man standing 100 m away?

A:devastate some of the industries in the nation completely.
B:devastate all industries in the nation
This is a quote from President Trump's tweet. Some people are wondering the meaning of "entire". They think it implies destroying "certain" sectors of industries "completely". My opinion is that "entire" just means "whole", so the sentence means:destroy all industries in the nation. Which is right? 0115名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイ 5f39-AMYv)2017/12/17(日) 02:55:05.50ID:arUHi2cX0>>114 It's A: devastate some of the industries in the nation completely. 0116名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイWW 1224-HKN3)2017/12/17(日) 03:42:09.60ID:qpPLH5g20 Thank you. So that means wiping out textile industries, for instance, and never refer to whole industries. Could you add some explanations for it? Maybe it is too clear for native speakers to explain but I'd be happy if I can hear the reason.
Sorry for continuous post. The very first definition of the word might be the answer. I maybe completely misconstrued the meaning of the word. 0119名無しさん@英語勉強中 (US 0H53-zbO4)2017/12/17(日) 06:43:53.95ID:VqJxvwCSH>>114 Don't listen to anything Trump says. He literally just lies when he feels like it.
Regardless, if someone were to say some event "devastated entire industries" within a nation, the meaning is a little complicated.
This event would seriously harm some industries to the point of collapse, and industries connected to the industries harmed;
However it would not completely disable all industries.
That phrase would usually be used for massive economic or environmental disasters, or perhaps the result of wars, 0120名無しさん@英語勉強中 (ワッチョイWW 1224-HKN3)2017/12/17(日) 08:36:47.08ID:qpPLH5g20>>119 Thank you very much for your detailed explanation.
