>Language has random silent letters everywhere
hehehe

We only have 70. But if you want to add the pronouns (equivalent to myself,yourself,himself,itself, etc)

you'd have to multiply the number of pronouns (there's like 12 or so) by 70.

I imagine most romance languages have the same problem. Maybe not with the pronoun thing.

We don't pronounce the prefix H's at all.

Also,
>Language requires an explicit subject in a sentence and cannot be derived from the verb tense

>language requires unnecessary math to say 99

That bug has been fixed in the Swiss and Belgian patches, though. Frogs are dealing with legacy issues.

>his "language" doesn't have thousands of possible suffix combinations for every single word save for the group of few that only have the base form

What do these suffixes mean? Do they turn nouns into verbs? Make compound words?

>the language needs a separate alphabet for spelling

>his language doesn't have a special letter that only exists in his language

I kinda wonder is there a language out there which is not using a 10 basis counting system?

Thinking natively in binary in your tong would be pretty amazing.

>he struggles to calculate 4*20+19
fucking burger education

>mushes two s's together
>makes it look like a B

Does õ and ã count? What about í,ó,á,é,ú and à? I know the ç we share with the fr*nch

They define the word's relation to everything else

Pöytä = table
Pöydällä = on the table
Pöydästä = from the table

pöydät, pöydältä, pöydiltä = the same but plural.

Interesting. At what point does it differ from just removing spaces, though?

*pöydältä, pöydiltä

I'm quite drunk and about to hit the bed, so excuse me.

>his language isn't an official language in at least 10 other nations

Less words needed, but I guess it's a matter of taste.

>gender are assigned to things that don't need them like Ps4's and toasters

it's just a sound gender, it's usually strictly passed down from masc/fem names

ie. if a noun sounds like a male

Our colonies didn't break apart, so we don't make the count:
1. Portugal
2. Brazil
3. Angola
4. Mozambique
5. Guinea Bissau
6. Cape Verde
7. São Tomé and Príncipe
8. Macau
9. East-Timor

Galician counts, right?

If it's any consolation, its mostly of what agrees with the last letter of the word or sounds better. Shit, different words for the same thing don't always agree in gender with each other.

stay mad ahmed

the mayans and muiscans used 20

base 12 is used in nepal, nigeria and india

babylonians used 60

papua new guinean tribes use 15. 18, 27, or 36 base systems

and the list goes on...

some communities (underdeveloped ones) have a 1, 2, many system.

as in: any number above 2 is undefined, they just say "many"

weird stuff pêh

>Irregular Conjugation

>as in: any number above 2 is undefined, they just say "many"
the abos, right? i've seen a vid on this

Wtf

I would love to see examples of languages that use the "1, 2, many" system.

ij :^)

compaid.com/caiinternet/ezine/symons-pcs.pdf [PDF warning]

apperently hottentot/khoisan languages do (did?) this

perhaps abos too, i'm not sure

allahu akber burger, our mujaheedin will come to USA soon

>base 12 is used in nepal, nigeria and india
Pretty great.

Retconning it all we should've been using this system instead. Same for tau instead of pi. Shit makes no sense.

>I would love to see examples of languages that use the "1, 2, many" system.

This kills the Brit.

>a special letter that only exists in his language
>a special letter
>a
KEK DUDE

>muh duodecimal
>muh tau

I don't really support the change for it because of all the hassle, but doing things over, why not?

i do agree with you but day dreaming about counting systems is pretty fedora man

>language is completely regular
>written form pronunciation matches spoken form exactly letter-by-letter
>people who speak it are friendly and always want to help you learn
>it's agglutinative so you can just make words up as you go and people will get what you mean

mfw

sick burn brah

>his """""""language""""""" has a consistent and phonetic orthography

>it's agglutinative so you can just make words up as you go and people will get what you mean

that's a bit exaggerated

What language is that, esperanto?

>language has genders
>three of them

i think he means finnish

>people who speak it are friendly
>finnish

japanese?

You fucking what

>his language doesn't have a fixed word order in sentences.

our verbs only have a few forms.
We have present and past and perfective
The basic form
The asking someone to do something form
And some passive forms that are difficult to count

å spille (to play)
spiller (play (present))
spilte (played)
[har] spilt ([has] played)

spill! (play!)

å spilles (to be played)
spilles (is being played)
spiltes (was being played)
[har] spiltes (has been played)
The four last ones are passives, but they are difficult to count because it changes between the words if they have different forms, and some may or may not be non-standard, and great variation between dialects, and other difficulties. Let's just say 1.

so norwegian has at least 6 forms of verbs.

If you include more dialects too, you can find difference between singular and plural, and possibly even some forms for non-real states (or something, I don't know how this works)

it's esperanto.

ability to make up words is very high, though not unlimited I guess since after 100 years there are a few "customary" compound words that are more common than the on-the-fly ones beginners make up, but they will still be easily understood

It's good to be able to move the words around a bit. It created better flow in the sentence when you can put the relevant part first, the part that presents what you are about to talk about. One of the things I like about Norwegian is our somewhat, kind of free word order.

?

>one infinitive form
>6 present forms
>4 past forms
>2 imperative forms
>3 adverbial participles
>2 present participles, each one has 4*6 = 24 forms
>2 past participles, each one has 4*6+4 = 28 forms

>1+6+4+2+3+2*24+28*2 = 120 forms

four twenty nineteen. Easy

>At least

Grammatical gender is not sexual gender, also
>his, hers

English word order can move about in some instances.

>>his, hers
I see no issue with that, tbqh

Such thing does not exist in spanish

>he doesn't know the gender of his own hand

> spanish.stackexchange.com/a/5190

Good fucking luck learning spanish

that felt really weird learning french in high school

they care a lot about the gender of nouns in a sentence yet when it comes to personal pronouns it's just "son" "sa" or "ses" depending on the noun that comes after it.

At first I thought "sa" meant "hers", "son" meant "his" and "ses" meant their

it's common gender

both hand and arm are feminine in Russian

arm is masculine, hand is feminine

same here. though you could also concider them common gender

I wonder for which percentage of words/cognates the genders correspond between west and north germanic languages

>can have a conversation easily in spanish but i will always fuck these shits up because theres just too many for my lazy ass to learn when the handful i do know let me have conversations just fine
