Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

[Stefan Mikes]

Well, they certainly didn't have enough vowels in the Czech Republic when I was there.

It is probably the Czech people who sold their vowels! I totally agree with you on that Jeremy! I notice the abundance of consonants in the Czech language myself, too!

As for the Hungarians, they have never been Slavs Although they borrowed some Slavic words, mostly in names of some fruit or vegetables. What makes me smile, they also borrowed the names of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from Polish It is "szerda" (pol. środa, the middle day), "csutortok" (pol. czwartek, the fourth day) or "pintek" (pol. piątek, the fifth day). If you ask a Hungarian about the etymology of their Wed - Fri, they simply do not know!

Polish is known of having several rustling consonants: sz cz dz rz ż. Each of these letter combinations is a single sound. We also have softened consonants such as ć or ś or ź. That makes the language hard to learn by foreigners. Take "szczęście" (happiness). Sh-tsh-en-... and I even do not know what to do with "ś" to transcribe it to English!

Still, there are Czech sounds I am unable to utter. The word "a cross" is "kříž" in Czech, and it is "krzyż" in Polish. If I try pronouncing it the Czech way, they laugh at me and say I will never make it!

We have enough of vowels, trust me, including nasal vowels such as "ą" and "ę" Even our "u" and "ó'" are vowels, both pronounced "oo"

As in an dipthong?The "e's" do sound a bit whiny at times here in the states some folks persist in using a long "e" when the pronuctiation doesn't call for it I use the drawn out"a" a lot( my upbringing and hearing loss) tar for tire, etc.

On a very international forum devoted to spinning tops (another hobby of mine), I learned that one of the Croation words for a spinning top is "zvrk". Not a vowel in sight!

Then I discovered their dirty little secret: In Croatian, "r" isn't just a consonant. It has a built-in stealth vowel. Which lets the Croatian "r" function kinda like the "or" in the English "work", the "ear" in "heard", the "ur" in "fur", or the "ir" in "irk".

So an English speaker who prefers her vowels out in the open can take "zvrk" as shorthand for "zvirk".

I suspect that the Czechs use a similar subterfuge to sneak vowels into their words without the French catching on that they're violating the terms of the sale.

Once asked an American Lyft driver from Poland why I saw so much English signage in videos of Warsaw. He said that even the Poles have a hard time with Polish!

"zvrk"

The Czech Thursday is "ctvrtk" Yes, they have hidden vowels there as well!

How about "Vado Bandito"? or the Vado that is so good it takes you back to infancy"Cradle Vado"?

 

[kevinmccune]

Mixcan vados are junk.
I posted this for shock value.

Strongly disagree, best vado south, best ginseng north!( of course I could be wrong- you know GIGO)

 

[Slaphappygamer]

No Vado smoke until next Friday. For me anyhow.

I can't believe that this thread is still going. I think it has morphed into silly humor and am okay with that. What is the funniest news item you heard about this week? For me it was the Cop who saw a huge spy balloon at 50,000 feet and started chasing it. He could never get closer. When he changed directions, it did too! Turns out it was bird poop on his windshield.

Eagle-eyed cop Hicham Argani spotted an 'unidentified flying object' hovering over Boxtel in the Netherlands – but closer examination revealed that it was a very different kind of threat

Tako Tuesday. It is kind of chewy. They are also smart and can do all sorts of amazing things like glow, change colors and textures for perfect camo, shape shift, and do mazes. You are looking at one.

When I had my figs botoxed for a younger appearance (free from wrinkles) it only took six-weeks of treatments. At the same time I had octopus DNA spiced in so that with bioluminescence it is easy to spot my member at night. Convenient, prehensile, shape and texture shifting.
