translate.google.com
pee-nees is how it is pronounced in latin

in baguette

in kaas
translate.google.com
in kurwa

even in cymru they pronounce it this way
in all languages where penis is ''penis'', it is pronounced either ''pee-nees'' or ''pay-nees'' (as far as i have found)
Only anglos say pee-nus

There are rules that apply on the overwhelming majority of words on how to read and write them. However, regarding writing it makes no sense because for one sound you have a lot of different possible combinations, yet only one is correct. You also have exceptions that do not even apply to any rule.
Eli Wright
That is only a piece of cake when you compare it with all the tenses and illogical grammatical rules of the French language. It is the hardest Indo-European language I can think of.
Brayden Mitchell
I don't care about the word length autism, when I write "ee" it means the same "i" as in "bitch" because if I wrote "i" instead of "ee" you'd read it "eye"
Levi Butler
>It is the hardest Indo-European
Ilogical gramatical rules are normal.
And no french is medium diffculty.
Slavic languages are more diffcult and Hungarian or finnish is mind breaking to learn for indoeuro speaker.
Hunter Cooper
There are rules, unlike English which is totally random
How the fuck do they even explain the "nis" being pronounced "nus"?
Adam Perry
Does the English language even have any illogical rule? I cannot really think for the Dutch language either. Does German have a lot of em?
Gabriel Russell
Writing makes a lot of sense, what are you on about ? E have the few exception, but once you know enough vocabulary you can perfectly write down a new word you learn (something you cannot really do in english). Also, knowing how etymology works via Latin and Greek would make it way easier to understand the spelling.
Lincoln Wright
"Ough" has like 10 different pronounciation in English, its a complete mess.
James Morgan
What is a illogical rule?
The gender in German words is basically random and you can't identify it on the word itself.
There is defined Future II passiv even there is a defined Future II active.
Also the placing of the different cases (in specially dativ and akkusativ) is often random.
Language don't evolve around as being logical but as their are used by the people that speak it.
Brayden Hernandez
There is no defined future II passiv*
Adam Lewis
Because "pe" = "pay" and "nis" = "nees
Also fun fact: I you copy paste the sentence I typed above, add a " behind the nees and try to plost, it'll say your ip is banned
Zachary Nelson
Move is like Muhv
Stove is like Stouv
but love is just lov and not louv or luhv.
Why?
Nobody knows. It will always be and stay a secret.
Ethan Edwards

because love is most definitely pronounced as luv
Caleb Baker
So luv like lav?
or like Lyuv like in Nu like Numale?
Kayden Butler
>because love is most definitely pronounced as luv
Uh no
It's pronounced "lov" or "lawv"
Benjamin Morgan

Isaiah Phillips
>It's pronounced "lov" or "lawv"

Hunter Walker
