It gets dumber when you realize stonks is not only a real word, but it's used to describe military armament supplies like rockets and mortars

I thought for a long time that "materiel' is just a spelling error, but it means military equipment.
We’ve got that…but at least we don’t assign gender to things like a tire.
Brazilian here, this is extremely relatable
Most of the time ugh will be silent, however in some rare cases it’s used like in tough to make an ‘ffff’sound more like tuff. Interestingly tuff is another word (it’s volcanic rock usually, don’t quote me though I’m no geologist), and tuft is a whole different word all together (a ball of fibers, like a tuft of hair)
Oh yeah i saw tuff in videogames before!
And also, thanks for the info!
and this is why you learn by immersion, really the only part of language that's worth it to study from a book is vocabulary.
As an American trying to learn Italian, the pronouns and possessives confuse the heck out of me. They're gendered and dependent on groups and formality? Ugh...
