Linguistics tidbit of the day.

Ya’aburnee (Arabic) – Both morbid and beautiful at once, this incantatory word means “You bury me,” a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person because of how difficult it would be to live without them.

rofl ew arab adults don’t say this to each other. this is used by parents to say to their kids. and used by me to say to our cat.
