minus-square@etuomaala@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink1•edit-25 months agoHm. That is actually a pretty cool website. I’ve been looking for an alternative to google translate. The Wiktionary can be a little tedious at times. But how would I use this to prove that “state” and “government” are generally synonymous in most practical contexts? arrow-up11file-textreply1starmore-verticalmailMessageflagCreate ReportslashBlock user
minus-squarelivuslinkfedilink7•5 months ago@etuomaala I’m not @LinkOpensChest_wav but I would like to chime in. But how would I use this to prove that “state” and “government” are generally synonymous in most practical contexts? You wouldn’t need to, because we’re not talking about “most practical contexts”. We’re only talking about contexts in which people are protesting the actions of a government. arrow-up17file-textreply1starmore-verticalmailMessageflagCreate ReportslashBlock user
