@simon how’s its accent? 😉

@carlton I'm not qualified to say, but it sounds OK to me - it's pretty fun getting it to speak aloud in other languages generally, I've also been having it invite German compound nouns for things!

@simon a custom GPT for that last sounds fun 😅

@simon also, you speak enough Spanish by now no?

I ask because Siri’s UK English voice is particularly bad at Catalan place names.

@carlton only Duolingo Spanish, so if someone doesn't sound like Junior, Eddie, Lily, Zari, Lin, Bea, Lucy, Vikram, Oscar or Falstaff I have no idea if their accent is any good or not!

@simon 🤣 Yes, nice.

@simon so, curiously, Google translate chooses sense #1, but attaches the adjective differently - “Eres una excelente almohada para perros.” Which is correct?

simon, 28 days ago

@michaelrhanson I think they're both right - Spanish lets you put some adjectives either before or after the noun, though I'm never sure what the rules are for that

@michaelrhanson Found this explanation which seems satisfying to me https://mangolanguages.com/resources-articles/do-spanish-adjectives-appear-before-or-after-the-noun/

@simon @michaelrhanson you would put the "excelente" at the end if you wanted to emphasize it.
