Even though you’ve only been travelling for a few minutes in the daytime, when you reach your destination, it will be night.
Tears come from nowhere and if you’re outdoors, it will rain or blossom will fall.
If you fall, someone will catch you. If they don’t, you end up in a coma.

In most languages names have male and female forms. Like Kian and Kiana
Yes, but in Korean, there are a lot of unisex names-- Kim Soo Hyun (M) and Hong Soo-Hyun (F)
Ji Min (BTS, male) and Jimin (ex-AOA, female)

There are English exceptions that I have encountered in the workplace like Carol and Marion (in fact , my brother in-law is named Marion , and my brothers mother in-law is named Marion ) and then ones that have gender forms but the same pronunciation like Terry and Teri , however I have seen/noticed more unisex names in Asian languages, particularly Urdu. Being born and raised an English speaker the name queues that I get in hearing a name do not often match up with what I hear…it took me a while as an adult to accept that a male name would end in a vowel , which is something you are not used to in European languages…

What I learned is that I have been eating ramen all wrong. I am supposed to suck it up. I guess that is where the saying came from

No, that’s not quite right. ‘To eat ramen’ is to invite the object of your affection to your home for some hopeful hanky-panky.

I’m honestly curious-- that thing they do when someone has indigestion and they rub the space between the thumb and index finger, does it really help indigestion? Is there anyone here with experience?
