English...

[Cloister]

Swedish. Fish in Swedish is fisk. Pretty inspired by English see. They once was the same language but has now been split... But some word still remain pretty alike.

 

Eng. - Bank = Swe. - Bank

[Fizzy™]

Any language that differences "me" from "I" is not worth learning...

 

Any language that makes you change an adjective for masculine and feminine nouns is not worth learning...

 

Why does it have to be "guapo" and "guapa"? Why can't it just be one for singular and one for plural? <___<

 

You don't have that bullshit in English.

 

The boy was pretty.

The girl was pretty.

The cats were pretty.

The dogs were pretty.

 

The adjective always stayed the same' date=' the only thing that changed was the verb, to fit the plural of the last two sentences.

Ahh..Thanks now I understand.

I hate learning those types of languages.

Too bad I have to still learn them in school...Especially Irish.

Yeah, I see.

Swedish doesn't change that. It's ALWAYS "är/ var" - "is, are, am/ was, were".

 

And like you said about "guapa"/"guapo". Neither do we have that.

 

But language is fun. =D

Any language that says Bruce Lee and Blue Three the same way is weird...

How would that even be possible?

 

It's so different it's impossible to pronounce them in the same way.

I hate learnning Irish in school though. It's so hard and none of the words sound like the English word. And Ireland is right beside England.

Here you have to learn Irish in school even though it is a dead language, most people hate it and everyone in Ireland speaks English -__-

It's so different it's impossible to pronounce them in the same way.

 

All it does is rhyme... you can't pronounce them like each other.

[Cloister]

But are the 2 of them related?

 

I know in Finland you need to learn Swedish, but Finnish is more related to Russian than Swedish.

[Fizzy™]

No they're not related at all.

I don't see the point of learning Irish. They dont speak it anywhere.

We also don't need 7 words that mean the exact same thing. Not even synonyms, I mean the same damn word.

 

Tener

Tengo

Tienes

Tiene

Tenemos

Teneis

Tienen

 

Vs

 

Have

 

 

So yeah.

[Gascan]

Anyways' date=' English is important and has infuenced A LOT of other languages.

[/quote']

 

On the contrary, English is just a clusterf**k of elements from other languages.

 

English is fail because of, well, the use of letters, which is kind of the core of any language. We have assigned sounds to letters and then completely ignored those sounds:

 

Exhibit 1 - What genious decided that 'tion' would be pronounced 'shun?'

 

Exhibit 2 - Why have 'an' for vowels and 'a' for consonants? That rule is barely even followed - 'it was an honor,' 'we're forming a union,' wtf?

 

Exhibit 3 - The letters 'c,' 'j,' and 'x' are all entirely unnecessary to the language. All their sounds are covered by other letters.

 

Exhibit 4 - Silent letters. That is all.

 

Exhibit 5 - Double letters. Leters is far more logical.

 

I can go on like this for hours. Let's face it; many of the 'rules' in English are little more than token gestures. In my opinion, the only good thing about English is single-syllable cuss words.

 

Spanish is far superior.

That way we don't need pronouns. It's just saying one word, instead of:

I have

You have

He have

She have

etc...

That's not what Revolver said...

[Gascan]

^I was adding to your point.

[Amethyst Phoenix]

"He have" just sounds stupid.

 

 

Also, English isn't spoken at Mach 5.

 

And our adjectives aren't backwards.

 

 

 

And pointless letters?

 

How about the formal "A" which means and does NOTHING?

[Gascan]

Mach 5[/i].

 

And our adjectives aren't backwards.

 

Subjective on both counts.

 

In regards to "formal A," are you referring to English or Spanish?

 

 

Finny how the "discuss English" thread has become the "English vs. Spanish thread lol

Like how in some situations you have to add an A before someone's name.

OMG SOMETHING BEING HOT DOES NOT MEAN ITS SEXY OMG OMG OMG

[Theseus]

No, but people in New Guinea ate guinea pigs. At one point. And we call strawberries "strawberries" because they're common to find on the floor of barns covered in straw. Plus, most of the words in the English language evolved from Old English words, and they didn't have proper education back then, so English will always been an unreliable language.

[Cloister]

The ones that don't like English can just stop using it. Sounds good? Does to me.

[Kizzi]

So you think just because the word is in English its meaning is not the same as in like' date=' lets say Swedish.

 

If a strawberry is not a berry in English, I am 112% sure it's not one in Swedish as well.

[/quote']

 

There are many things I could say in this thread, but I just wanted to laugh at you.

 

Edit: However I don't speak Swedish and I could be wrong, but I am still fairly sure you are missing the point.

So tell me then, what is the point?

[BehindTheMask]

english is one of the easiest languages to learn

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

 

No.

 

English is the 2/3rd hardest language in the world to learn properly, Mandarin and Cantonese being the hardest.

[-Berserker-]

"He have" just sounds stupid.

Adjectives in spanish are not backwards. Just ask any french, italian, portuguese or latin speaker...

 

Also, everyone speaks at the speed they want.

 

Wich A are you talking about? Care to give an example?

AHAHAHA, don't forget all the tenses. <_<

 

Present, Past, Simple Future, Future, Present Progressive, Imperfect, some other shit I forgot from Spanish class.

 

In English, we have "have", "has", "had", and I believe that's it. Not 30 different words that mean the same thing. AND WHY DO THERE NEED TO BE IRREGULAR VERBS?! Stupid "ir". <_<

The letters "qu" are covered by "kw", as it makes the same sound and looks more logical.

 

I agree with every point except point 5. I don't know why, but when I see "leters", I pronounce it like "lee-ters", not "le-ters".
