14:03

i really wish we had to pick a language in primary school to learn

14:03

and then u would learn it before u move to middle school

gerdoe

because in russia its really unsystematised

our english books are just mess of all theory

14:09

because our books are crap without any theory

wdym as native

14:10

like what we would use?

i even know history of russian language i want to know more about english one

lynn

like what we would use?

yep

so long ago idk how i learned english

14:10

what things do u not know

system of english

14:11

now i can say that i don't know english at all

14:11

but translating things is real fun kekw

you seem to know a bit

14:11

unless you just translate really fast

nah

14:12

but our dialogues are really primitive

14:12

i can't say anything i really know in russian as i would say it in english (edited)

so you just have a smaller set of things u can talk about in english

lynn

so you just have a smaller set of things u can talk about in english

yep

14:19

and it bothers me a lot

time 2 give u english lesson

i don't mind to

how many ways do you think you can say "good" ?

14:21

like synonyms

haha good question

14:21

great

14:22

and that's all, i think (edited)

14:23

fine maybe

14:23

alright

what about some crazy ones like

14:26

benevolent

14:26

beneficial

14:27

i guess it's not a complete match but they're good words

i don't think these words are good synonyms for 'good'

14:27

only if we talk about good in general (edited)

ye

14:30

maybe a better way is

14:31

say something in russian in teehouse sometimes and ping me so i can help u understand it

14:31

for what it means in english

hm okey

14:31

but we aren't talking much in teehouse on specific topics (edited)

just whenever u randomly think something in russian that u don't know in english

14:32

or you remember a word you don't know in english

ah

14:32

got it

watch everything in english with subs

thanks :>

thats what i do

what do you watch?

but ur english pro

lol no

14:33

xd

14:33

@lynn i bet heinrich knows more rich vocabular than you tho

14:33

he has politician level english kekw

i would be surprised but idk how much he speaks english

14:34

like outside of this server

14:34

we're prob the same

the only good thing about being native english is the accent, otherwise being from another country and learning english is the best

14:35

agree

i know english spanish and catalan

14:35

im trilingual

i mean i think knowing it but learning other langs is better tho

14:36

if you do learn them

14:36

cus english is harder

also knowing more than 1 languages improves something in ur brain or something

14:36

Ryozuki

the only good thing about being native english is the accent, otherwise being from another country and learning english is the best

if you're a native english speaker then learning pretty much any other language is gonna be harder than your native, which sucks xd

ye

14:36

cuz english is so simple

14:36

compared to spanish for example

i don't rly agree with that xd

14:37

i think americans are just lazy

14:37

well, and we don't really have to learn other languages

if you're born in a country with some ridiculous language then learning most other languages isn't gonna be that hard

i think English is pretty ridiculous compared to others

I mean ridiculously complex

only thing in Spanish is the million tense forms

also spanish is based, all nouns are gendered monkalaugh

otherwise easiest language

14:38

German is probably also easy

14:38

just have to know a ton of vocab

you can learn basic english theory in no time at all, then it's just about learning more words and nasty exceptions

cus if you have a new thought in German you can create a word that means the whole thought

14:39

even if it's like 100 characters long xd

but thats just them being able to put words together

14:39

u can express it in any lang

Ravie

you can learn basic english theory in no time at all, then it's just about learning more words and nasty exceptions

exceptions are part of the theory tho

14:39

no denying that

14:39

you can't just learn "normal" english without it

some exceptions have theory and others you just have to kinda remember

most of the bullshit ones are just ones u have to remember thankfully

14:40

the ones that are less bullshit are just theory

“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.”

14:41

oh god

for me, the annoying thing about english is its inconsistent pronunciation

he's typing

14:41

oh

ah ye

I thought you were going to flex your English knowledge on me

thats why i suck at speaking

14:41

i prefer to write

English fucking sucks to say and it doesn't even sound nice

that sentence only exists cause americans have to name everything Buffalo monkalaugh

german is a bit annoying to speak/write because you have to learn each noun's gender and then also adjust the noun's attributes to match

the only languages i think sound good are like.. Japanese, Korean, Spanish

that also happens in spanish and catalan

that's it

french is the stereotypical good(/well?)-sounding language

2

gender in languages is so dumb unless the gender is significant xd

14:43

like why did someone think that's a good idea

xd

I think it's crazy to think that French sounds good but just my opinion

french sounds awful

it sounds extremely cursed

ye it sounds weirtd

it can be helpful to distinguish what pronouns refer to

but definitely what the stereotype is

like it's also helpful for people (he/she/?)

the fact that we have no ungendered vs unknown gender difference

14:45

in any language

14:45

but I fixed this in my language

14:45

;)

languages were invented before someone could get mad at you for using the wrong gender form of a word and it was actually useful for context

it's not even about being mad about it it's just the convenience of differentiating normal things

14:46

like it takes 4 seconds to think about why it's a good idea and come to the conclusion that it has nothing to do with someone getting mad about it

14:47

so in my lang thing "e" is the unknown pronoun vowel

14:47

i is fem, o is masc, and u is ungendered

hm. I found that japanese is fairly gender neutral compared to other languages

there are other parts of the pronoun that make up the word but I don't want to spoil

14:48

"ave" is my fav

14:48

first person general pronoun

too many messages

since every word has a gender in german, guess how much fun we have with profession names

what drama is lynn trying to start today

nice side effect of this system is that if you refer to yourself with a gendered pronouns then the person you're speaking with knows ur gender just from the context

14:49

lol chill out, zero drama

el policía and la policía are both valid

heinrich5991

since every word has a gender in german, guess how much fun we have with profession names

isn't it usually about replacing 'or' with 'in' or so?

the first means one male police and the second the police in general

14:50

kekw

wtf

yep

why are you allowed to gender things that already have a specific gender

14:50

like to me learning Spanish that was just considered wrong to do

14:50

cursed

Ryozuki

the only good thing about being native english is the accent, otherwise being from another country and learning english is the best

non-native can fix their accent so i think it's not a big problem

you know what else sucks about english (i guess it's not a huge deal)

gerdoe

non-native can fix their accent so i think it's not a big problem

its rly hard

if i say "we" then you have to rely on context to know if i am including you (edited)

I know some languages can differentiate that

14:55

but I don't know which

14:55

no european ones, probably

I believe french does this

no

Nick said so

1

14:55

:(

I learned some french in school, I think I would have remembered that

@snail enlighten us

well Nick speaks french more than English ;(

14:55

yes

what french does is labeling a group of only women elles, but mixed groups and group of only men ils

14:56

that's a bit that's different from german

we do that too

meh that's what Spanish does too

like дамы и господа?

ye

if its only women ellas, if mixed or male ellos

14:56

and not just with this

give us ellus

14:56

mixed

ew

roman langs feelsbadman

kind of sounds dumb though

14:57

it sounds like you're saying ellos but in a terrible way

14:57

can anyone agree that the Korean alphabet is the coolest fucking one

i like more japanese

14:57

korena looks ugly

1

haven't learnt it (yet?), but it's designed, so it's different I guess

armenian alphabet da best

I think Korean looks better than Japanese just because it's simpler

14:58

but it's also not boring like Latin

then you should hate chinese

14:58

kekw

ye

yes I kind of do (edited)

gerdoe

then you should hate chinese

with their dialects uh oh

but chinese/japanese/korean websites look so a e s t h e t i c

I mean I think the Chinese language is cool but I'm just not a fan of how dense it is

only japanese imho

also there's definitely not one Chinese language so it's hard to talk about

korean has edgy alphabet while japanese has nice flow in it

@TsFreddie

curves and curves

the way Korean sounds has really grown on me

15:00

at first I thought it was more awkward than Japanese, and I guess it still is but the difference is small to me

xd

ayaya

return to middle-east languages kekw

Arabic is one of the coolest languages but it is not practical at all

there is no кегль in japanes that's why it looks good at some point

15:02

japanese

japanese with bold font looks cool
