Castellan Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Seaguard or Pinkmaiden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lykos Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Not a Character Object Not a Weapon Not a body part Exists during the five books Physical Object In Westeros Name not mentioned in a female pov Not garment Name not mentioned in AGOT Bigger than a shoe box Not moveable Most likely a castle (We haven't seen it yet. Typically it is / has / is called a castle) South of the Neck In Rivertlands or Vale Not in the Vale Not destroyed Not Seaguard or Pinkmaiden Getting very warm, but I think the last ones do not fit my hint, that the Name was mentioned only once on page ( I mean the story not the appendices). Eta: Just checked Pinkmaiden does fit ( to my surprise), though Arya notices the sigil of pink maiden. Also the spelling is really important, when checking. I noticed when lookin for Seaguard - it's Seagard. Edited February 14, 2021 by Lykos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just noticed your Romanian proverb and like it very much. I won't be able to start a game till the morning (just going to bed) but if anyone wants to jump in and start one before then feel free.

Thank you, I heard it on the radio and liked it very much as well. I'm not quite happy with my translation from german. It literally said "make one rich" (reich machen), that didn't sit quite right with me. There are layers to my translation that I like. I think the awkward scientific "generate wealth" makes you think about it. Thinking can be the most enriching work and if it is, is it still hard?

Shouldn't it be "If hard work generated wealth. mills would be owned by donkeys"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lykos Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 @Annara Snow I don't know. I'm neither an anglicist nor did I major in german studies. I think the way I put it, emphasises that it is the hard work generating wealth that is questioned. You made me search the internet and now I know that there is a meme that says "If hard work pays, show me (a) rich donkey, which makes me like the proverb much less.

You made me search the internet and now I know that there is a meme that says "If hard work pays, show me (a) rich donkey, which makes me like the proverb much less. It's not about emphasis. The grammatically correct version is the one I wrote . I put it as a question just so I wouldn't appear arrogant or rude for correcting. (I am an anglicist.) Type 1 conditional sentence would be: If hard work generates wealth (pays off), the mills will be owned by donkeys. But that one refers to a real possibility, so it doesn't fit this context. Type 2 conditional sentence refers to a hypothetical possibility and is typically used in this context: If hard work paid off (were to pay off)/if hard work generated wealth, mills would be owned by donkeys. Type 3 conditional sentence refers to a possibility that existed in the past, but does not exist anymore. That would be: If hard work had paid off, mills would have been owned by donkeys. Also doesn't fit this context. In any case, you never use the conditional mode (would be, would have been...) in the "if" clause.

Lykos Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 @Annara Snow I want to issue an apology for my last post. While I do double down on my errors all the time, I despise people who do so deliberately . I'm still grumpy about that meme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
