This. Why do they even stop on these numbers? I'm sure there's a lot more postpositions than 15 in Finnish.
Liam Richardson
Those hungarian postpositions developed into cases.
t. person with a Hungarian finno-ugric doctorate student friend
She also said it's often said that there are 24 cases in Hungarian but it's not really true. Also in some languages it depends how many cases are depending on the dialect.
Thomas Stewart
But what's the difference between cases and postpositions in Finno-Ugric langs? In IE languages we have 8 cases maximum, but they require you to memorize tons of different endings and remember the declension pattern for every noun so you can speak correctly.
John Jones
>grammatical cases
what is it
Brandon Barnes
they show the subject, direct object, indirect object and possession mostly but can show other things depending on the language

house - talo in a house - talossa on a house - talolla from a house - talosta to a house - taloon etc.
then you can go crazy with them like
in my house? - talossanikohan? on his house - talollaan

1. LEARN WORDS 2. SPEAK 3. LEARN GRAMMAR 4. LISTEN TO MUSIC, WATCH SHOWS AND MOVIES 5. USE THE LANGUAGE EVERYDAY
Blake Watson
but like What resources to use, do i use duolingo/memrise, do i use books, what type of books, should i use something more than another thing, etc.
I'd just like someone to say learn this using these resources this much a day and learn something else with other resources for this much a day.
just plainly spell everything out for me.
Zachary Phillips
At least one pimsleur lesson.
Angel Jackson
Don't listen to this guy. Forget about the grammar. Remember, you were not taught grammar as a kid.
1. Get a duolinuo app 2. Get a memrise app. 3. Get yourself pimsleur or the Michel Thomas. 4. Put in it 3-4 hours a day, find a quiet place where you won't be bothered by anyone to stay concentrated. If you feel lazy, one day, remember that it's better to spend 10 min on a language than not spend at all. May I ask what language you're interested in?

This is 100% right way to learn to not speak a language the right way. Listen to this guy instead. You can do duolingo and other such apps but you absolutely need to learn grammar even if the language you are learning belongs to a language group of your own. If you have a way to speak and not just listen to natives do that as often as possible. Say they can correct you if you make mistakes.
Learn Dutch. It's a far nicer language, and you'll be able to understand German as a bonus

I bought a textbook for learning russian. IMO, the way to go. Don't listen to the boer duolingo and memerise are just accesories. I like duolingo for just dipping my toes in a topic before I go into the textbook for it, memerise to work in a few words every now and then.
Grammar is important.
James Reed
I find it interesting that German is the only germanic language with cases. Can anyone explain why that is?
M8s I'm thinking about starting starting one of these languages: -German -Italian -Japanese -Latin Any advice? Are there any nasty surprises in the German language? Is Latin a meme? Is Italian worth it for something besides cultural enrichment?
Samuel Lee
Italian would be the easiest, as I suppose you already know Spanish.
>German Meh, most of them know english. The case system and the 3 noun genders are pretty annoying. The vocab is also quite different. Second best choice
>Latin Why? Its cringy to say that you learnt it, noone speaks it, and you already know spanish so it wont help you too much with other romance languages. 3rd best choice
>Weeabo lang No. Its the most difficult language in the world, population declining, they speak english already, not worth it. Worst choice
Just do portugese, that would be the most beneficial and you could speak with your brasilian bffs
Bentley Rogers
If you are just doing it for fun then try listening how these languages sound like and pick the one you'd like.I would go for German or Japanese (and maybe Latin too?) if it was up to me since those are languages not really close to your native tongue so you'd have more challenges thus more satisfying to learn in the end but that's just me lmao.
Gabriel Ortiz
Standard German is, first and foremost, an artificial literary language whose creators over the centuries tried to keep as many anachronistic or outdated features of the language as possible. The Slavic languages retained most of the original PIE cases, and Proto-Germanic also retained quite a few. But over the past 1000 or 2000 years, cases started disappearing in most Germanic languages. This is also true for the Continental West Germanic Dialect continuum. Most dialects merged the accusative and dative cases or sometimes even swapped them (Berlin dialect). But they were deliberately kept in the literary language, because you could express a wider variety of thoughts more precisely with them, and writers tend to wank over that. Only in the past 100 to 150 years has Standard German turned into a spoken language and increased in popularity, re-introducing the 4-case system that had been reduced to 3 or 2 cases in most dialects back into popular speech.
Ian Jones
Can someone redpill me on the difficulty of learning Finnish? I've already learned two languages and now progressing on my fourth in total, and I'm thinking about taking Finnish up next because I fucking love how it sounds and I need to stop myself from literally memeing myself to fluency in 5 (FIVE) romance languages

It's pretty easy once you get the hand of it. Just memorize the cases and expand your vocabulary. Finnish is pretty loose grammatically.

Down with D*nmark! RESIST D*nish imperialism! Smash the fascist D*nish colonial Empire! Free Greenland and the Faroe Islands!
“Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers' enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves. No matter what the circumstances, the worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus and to trample underfoot, in its service, all human values in ourselves and in others.” ― Simone Weil
