Давайте поговорим о стрессе, его причинах и симптомах. Приятного прослушивания!

Привет, это Наташа!

Поговорим о стрессе

Questo piccolo podcast tratta della mia grande passione, la linguistica e la glottologia, e consiste in una serie di brevi episodi che trattano questi argomenti.
Lo scopo del podcast è gettare luce su un aspetto che i parlanti di qualsiasi lingua considerano molto poco, cioè sui meccanismi e sull'evoluzione delle parole che usano per comunicare.
Proprio per questo motivo la prima puntata riguarda la storia e l'evoluzione dell'articolo "il", una delle parole (monemi) più frequenti in italiano, spiegandone le origini accertate e anche alcune teorie poco conosciute.

Il - un articolo tanto comune quanto poco conosciuto

كَانْ يَامَا كَانْ في قدِيمْ الزَّمَانْ
وفِي قَرْيَة بعِيدَة، طرِيقْهَا شدِيدَة، الرُّكْبَان إِلاَ قَصْدُوهَا يَعْيَاوْ، وَإِلَا مَاقَصْدُوهَا يَتَمَنَّاوْ، حِيثْ الاخْبَار لِّي تَوْصَلْ علِيهَا والْخِير لِّي فِيهَا، مَاتْخَلِّي حَدّ في دَارُ.
كَانْ في هَاد الْقَرْيَة واحَدْ الدَّرَّازْ(النَّسَّاج) راجلْ طَيِّبْ، القلبْ بيضْ كِيفْ كْلَمْةُ، وكلَامُ صَافِي مَتْقُونْ كِيفْ خدمْةُ، في الصِّيفْ يَنْسَجْ الْحَيْكْ وَالْمْخَابَلْ(سَتَائر تقليديَّة)، والْبَرْدْ يَنْسج الجْلاَلبْ والدّرَابلْ(رِدَاء ثَقيل)، وَكانْتْ عَنْدُ بنْتُ، وبنْتُ كَانْتْ صُورَة لبُوهَا في اخْلاقهَا ومنَاقبْهَا، الأمْ دَّاهَا(أخَذَهَا) الله وخَلاَّ لِيهَا ابَّاهَا.
بَعْدمَا رْعَاهَا فِي صْغُرهَا هِي اصبْحَتْ ترْعَاهْ.. وَبَنْتُ كَانْتْ عَمْيَة مِنْ زْيَادتْهَا، لَكِنْ عمَى البَصَرْ ما خْدَا منْهَا الْبَصِيرَة.
وبَعْْدمَا كَانْ بُوهَا بصَحّتُو، يدْرَزْ ويَاخُذْ مَا درَز لِلسُّوق، دَابَا(الآن) خَانْتُو الصَّحَّة اصبَح لِّي دَرْزُو، تَاخْذُو بـنْـتُ لِلسُّوقْ.
حمَارتهَا كَانْتْ عَارْفَة الطّرِيق، غِيرْ تَسْمَعْ «أرَّازِيدْ» تْشَدّ طرِيقْهَا، وغِيرْ توْقَفْ تْعَرَفْ بنْتْ الدَّرَّازْ أنَّهَا وَصلَتْ للسُّوقْ

Es De Verdad

T2 E3 - ¿Cómo es el proceso de aprender varios idiomas al mismo tiempo?

Every billionaire in the world who is under the age of 30 has inherited their wealth, according to new research by Forbes magazine.

Forbes recently published its World's Billionaires List. And all 15 people on the list who are aged 30 or younger did nothing to create their wealth — they simply received it.

According to Forbes this is the first time since 2009 there have been no self-made billionaires aged under 30. And the magazine says it's a sign that a "great wealth transfer" has begun from aging billionaires to the younger members of their families.

The youngest billionaire on the list is 19-year-old Livia Voigt of Brazil. She is worth $1.1 billion thanks to her late grandfather, who founded the electrical equipment company WEG Industries.

The richest of the young billionaires are the Mistry brothers, Firoz, 27, and Zahan, 25. They are each worth $4.9 billion thanks to their shares in the multi-industry Indian company Tata Sons. They inherited their wealth from their father, who died in a car crash in 2022.

Among the 25 youngest billionaires on the list — who are all aged 33 or younger — a few in their early 30s are self-made. However, just one of those self-made billionaires is new: 33-year-old Shunsaku Sagami of Japan. Sagami is the founder of M&A Research Institute, and is worth $1.6 billion.

One self-made billionaire who is still fairly young at 34 is Taylor Swift, who is worth $1.1 billion. In 2023, she became the first musician to become a billionaire mainly from the money she makes from her music.
