teft@piefed.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's weird how we say "go to sleep" as if sleep is a placeEnglish2·2 days agoI think it’s because the “to” in those phrases are part of “to sleep” not part of “go to”. The “to” modifies the verb “sleep” to be an infinitive and the “go” is an imperative verb.

If I’m not careful, a snack attack can easily ruin my diet.
There are many translations for different phrases.

Tengo cuidado would translate to “I am careful” literally it’d be like “I have care”.

As an example in spanish they use tener for age. As in tengo 20 años literally is “I have 20 years” but it means “I am 20”
Or ten cuidado means “take care” or “be careful” but literally is more like “have care”. Both phrases use tener in a nonphysical sense in the same way as in english we use “to have”. Like to have compassion or to have doubts.

Eleanor Mboto appears to be some financial researcher at the university of calabar. and Fatima Nkosi appears to be made from scratch.
I agree, this seems like ai slop.
Edit: and here is another similar article from a different slop source with electric pangolins in the Mojave instead.
