A geologist is a type of scientist.

Because they're technically scientist.

americans are generally afraid of science and reject it's authority over them.

at one point the most popular medical treatment in america was prayer, and many americans use to and still do subscribe to "Christian Science" eg. pray away the sick.

This has to be trolling right? The Americans use geologist,biologist,etc. Scientist is just a broad term covering the sciences.

Don't forget Swedish consider feminists, sociologists and progressive bloggers as "scientists".

Anyway, here are a few Portuguese limitations:

Ladder - Escada
Stairs - Escada

Finger - Dedo
Toe - Dedo

And a serious English limitation:

Ser - To be
Estar - To be

>>76976151
toe = dedo do pé

>>76976151
Same in Russian.
Finger/toe is pàlets (na rukè/na nogè) and ladder/stairs is lèstnitsa.

>>76974871
for me, it's scientist

Honestly, why does it matter? Did this deserve a thread?

>>76974871
Why is Swedish language so Russian? Literally гeoлoг, химик, биoлoг, apхeoлoг, paдиoлoг...

>>76977527
They're both based on latin, so greek
You are greek

>>76977527
Because swedes created russians

>>76977656
No, we are Greeks.
Third Rome 'n shit

it's almost as if languages that share a family have similarities

>>76977683
Kievan rus were swedes. Even your name russians comes from Ruotsi, the Finnish designation for swedes

When Russians get good at Portuguese they almost have no accent.

When I speak languages people say I have a Russian accent.

>>76979075
At least the saber/conhecer one can be explained as understand/be acquainted with.
The other one is kinda tough to disambiguate when teaching foreigners. How is it done?

>>76979381
They were about equally as difficult to understand for me. You just need to memorize the cases where you use ser vs estar, for example location, emotion, position

>>76979381
Ser specifies something permanent or intrinsic
Estar specifies something temporary or extrinsic

Yeah, sounds intuitive to me, but it's hart to think from the perspective of someone raised without a distinction. It's also funny how objects have genders to me and I simply don't question it, whereas somewhere Anglos are struggling to tell whether the Sun or the Moon has a dick or not.

In Russian we say
я нe yмeю плaвaть
which means i am not able or i don't know how to swim
in English they say I can't swim,
and it may be ambiguous. Do you not know how to swim or you can't swim right now because it is too cold or something.
How is that in Spanish and other languages?
In Russian we differentiate the ability in general (yмeю) and whether I can do something now (мoгy).

Just because you don't know English doesn't mean you have to project your insecurities on us. Also gb2 plebbit.

>>76974871
Géologue
Chimiste
Biologiste
Archéologue
Radiologue

It's in french but since England was a french colony, english language has also this terms in english way.

Biologist etc

You're welcome

I think he's sperging about the term usually used, but that is just cultural nuances and don't neccessarily mean anything. Like I don't think the similiar term in finnish is used often outside of yellow press ("Scientists can't explain THIS), but that may be due to the term literally translating as "science man". The term " researcher" is usually used instead.

>Term usually used
They're all sciences so they are all technically scientists
But nobody refers to biologists or archaeologists or the mix as a scientist unless they don't know the actual term, can't recall it, or are being vague

I came here to laugh at your simplistic languages.

ᏣᎳᎩ?

We often use the word researcher in Norway too.

What triggers me is how English always puts so much emphasis on who does it. Every time they make a new discovery, they always introduce it with "scientists discover". Always pointing out how it's the scientists who did it as the first thing.
It's never "new research shows" or anything like that, always pointing out that it's the scientists who did it as the first thing.
It really bothers me.

>>76981336
We do also use the term "researcher", and have the word "science man" if we really need to use that.
