- euroderf 4y agoAs a new father, I have toyed with the idea of raising my child with base 16.

So in German, there is 'satt' which means 'not hungry', but for thirst, there is no corresponding word and its one of these urban memes that the corresponding word for not-thirsty would be 'sitt'. Now that I have a kid, my kid has not learned the word 'sitt'. :-) Anyway, I wouldn't have made the news as this dad did: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1229808/Linguist-reveals-I-spoke-Klingon-son-years.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1229808/Linguist-re...
