Werewolf implies a lesser known and more present Arewolf

When I'm searching for do I ask "Wherewolf?" or "Wherewerewolf?" if it was a group of werewolves that are gone "Wherewerewolves"?

Could be worse (I'm looking at you, Cantina Band!)

God damn it

And if you want to know where they used to be, not where they are, you have to ask "Wherewerewerewolves?"

[–] lastunusedusername2@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But you never ask "howwolf?" ☹️

Me after killing a werewolf, but I realize some of the blood got on my open wound and I'm now transforming: more like WE'REwolf?

Edit: I like to imagine the one single down vote was cast alongside a potentially heavy sigh of disappointment after they read my comment

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I think I would say "more like was wolf " Makes the same point without explaining even if it sounds a little clunky.

You pronounce those differently?

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 points 6 days ago

I think werewolf is pronounced the same as "where"

Are there any situations where the second person singular forms of a verb are not the same as the plural ones?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

The verb follows the conjugation of the subject, and in modern English, the singular second person is the same word as the plural second person (you) , but that wasn't always the case. In Old English, the second person plural was thou, and verbs conjugated differently - for example, you are (singular) and thou art (plural).

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You mixed up singular and plural, thou was used for singular/informal situations and ye (you) was used for plural/formal situations

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 5 days ago

Oh, so I did.

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

I believe wolf should be pronounced as woofl. Fewer people would be afraid of a woofl than a wolf.
