The USA is a constitutional federal republic composed of 50 states in a federal district, Washington DC. The majority of the nation is located in North America, with a total area of 9,529,063 km^2; it had many Pacific and Caribbean territories (only sentence I wasn't sure about).

The US has 300 million inhabitants. Minority ethnicities include representatives of every nation in the world, thanks to the important role of immigration in the economy and history of the nation, and the indigenous Americans. The most spoken language is English, in second place is Spanish which is very used (with more than 30 million speakers, 11%) as well as Asiatic and indigenous languages.

>Did not understood what "e le americanos indigena" meant.
What? It obviously means "and the indigenous Americans"
Almost everything thanks to my English and French. I didn't get only one thing: if "cata" means "most" or "all".

understood every single word and the meaning of each sentence. I have not spent 1 minute studying Spanish ever.

It means "each". In Spanish we say "cada".

cata = cada (esp) = each (eng)

100%. Is that Ido? Interlingua?

Don't they teach you Latin at school?
Etiam is "also".

"They also have more Pacific and Caribbean territories"

Oh shit it's interlingua not Spanish

It doesn't seem to be Spanish, but Interlingua, a constructed language with less grammatical rules

>Spanish is more closely related to French than Italian
Than why is Italian so much easier for me to understand?

Your greentext sentence is false.

polish, know some basic italian words which are literally the same or similar to spanish apparently (not all i guess)

The United States of America (USA) is a republic constitutional federal country(?) with(?) 50 states and a capital state/city(?), Washington, D.C.. The majority of nation is located in North America, with a extension of total 9 529 063 km2; a country(?) has many pacific and carribean territories(?).
The US population consists of three hundred million residents. Ethnic minorities include (?), thanks to important role of immigration in economy in the history of nation; in the american (?). The languages mostly(?) spoken is english, secondly spanish which is spoken by many people(?) (with over 30 million speakers, 11%) (?) is the language asian and native.

this is how much i understood

>Spanish is more closely related to French than Italian

It's not true though, OP's pic doesn't imply that at all. In fact, the French and Italian flags are closer to each other in the pic.

We have a lot of influences from German and old Celtic words as well.
In fact, phonetically we're closer to German than to Spanish or Italian.

OP's pic has Portuguese, Spanish, and French is the "Western" category and Italian in its own, separate one. Usually things in the same category are supposed to be more similar to each other than to anything outside that category

One of you means "Spanish is closer to French than Spanish is close to Italian" and the other one means "Spanish is closer to French than French is close to Italian".

t. Language expert

I understood 100%.

Don't confuse a phylogenetic chart, such as the one in the OP, with an intelligibility chart.

From a strictly historical and linguistic point of view, French and Spanish can be said to be closely related than Spanish and Italian, but French underwent a MASSIVE chain of sound changes that made it quite different from the rest of Romance languages. As a result, it's really hard for the average Spanish speaker to understand spoken French whereas it's not so difficult to understand at least some Italian, even though our languages are more distantly related.

French
everything except some words

>Did not understood what "e le americanos indigena" meant.
Des americans indigenous or something, dumbass

Rhode Island please leave

It's what the "and" referred to that I didn't understood.
Now I see.

Two languages being phylologically related does not necessarily mean that they are closer to each other than languages to which they are more distantly related.

Low German is "technically" closer to English than to Standard German, but Low German is also a German dialect.

It's widely accepted that French and Italian are closer to each other than Spanish and Italian.

Sorry but I already gave the same learned explanation.

1. Italian
2. Literally everything, some words are different but I could easily figure out their meaning from the context

>It's widely accepted that French and Italian are closer to each other than Spanish and Italian.

This Murrican is right, this statement shouldn't be confused with the fact that an Italian and a Spaniard will understand each other better in an oral conversation than a French and an Italian, especially due to Spanish and Italian having similar phonologies.

Italian and French are grammatically more similar to each other. Example:

Io bisogno de (ita)
Je besoin de (fr)
Yo necesito (esp)

Yet I believe that educated French and Italian people would understand the Spanish verb "necesitar" since they have an archaic version of the same verb in their own languages as well.
There is plenty of examples of this kind, it's also very common between Portuguese and Spanish.

>French
Everything except "cata" but I deduced it was the same as the french "chaque"

Estados Unidos de América es una república federal constitucional compuesta de cincuenta estados y un distrito federal. La mayoría de la nación se encuentra en América del Norte, con una extensión total de 9.529.063 km2; también tiene otros territorios en el Pacífico y en el Caribe.

La población estadounidense es de trescientos millones de habitantes. Hay etnias minoritarias representando a cada nación del mundo, gracias al importante rol de la inmigración en la economía e historia de la nación, además de los indígenas americanos. La lengua más hablada es el inglés, seguida del español (con más de 30 millones de hablantes, un 11%) y de lenguas asiáticas e indígenas.

My school only taught me Latin, Greek and Nahuatl roots with their respective alphabets in case they had one, so just the basics. But I honestly already forgot.

2. I understand everyting but it took me more time to read than spanish.

FUCK OFF WITH THIS SPANISH SHIT

Almost every word is shared with English. If you know English, you should be able to read it.

Etiam = anche/tambien

Io ha comprende quasi toto. Penso que es multo facile per comprender l'alie.

I had some problems with cada too, then I supposed it had the meaning than in italian has "cadauno", that is very rarely used though.

I'll try to do say what OP typed if you want me to; I don't care if I become a laughingstock.

the gaulish accent in French completely ruins it for me in speech, its kinda like the vowel shift in english making arbitrary vowel pronunciation (or rather skipping) rules
its great in french songs tho

i wonder where italian got that word... trade with catalans maybe?

Even I can read this, dude.

the most literal translation of the 2nd part would be like this (order can be kinda messed to keep it as literal as possible)

"Minoritarial" ethnicitiess include representative of each nation in the world, thanks to the important role of inmigration in the economy and history of the nation; and the indigenous americans. The language most spoken is english, the second is spanish wich is "very used" (with over 30 million speakers, 11%) and the assian and indigenous languages.

i thought you meant you would try to say it out loud in vocaroo, or at least record what you thought it meant in vocaroo
conta / cuenta = counts - amounts to

dunno how you didnt get that "representantes" = "representatives"

dear God no, that would be awful.

Tell us some of the religion's secrets. What's up with the magic underwear for example?

Also there are Mexican Mormons m8. I don't know why but there are.

When you're getting married or going on a mission you go to the temple, do some funky ceremony, and get given your garments ("magic underwear").

They're supposed to protect you from Satan. Lots of anecdotes/faith-promoting-stories about this or that soldier in some odd war whose garments stopped a bullet, or some dude who stopped wearing garments and fell to the snares of the devil.

I'm no longer practicing, it should be said..

>Also there are Mexican Mormons m8. I don't know why but there are.

I don't really know much about these guys, but a lot of them immigrated back to my town when Pancho Villa was in charge of Mexico. Their descendants are called Pachecoites.

Pancho Villa is still villainized by this group.
