Why is the English language so based? It’s the CHAD of all languages
Why is the English language so based? It’s the CHAD of all languages
You're like a colourblind cripple equating your physical limitations with the limits of what's possible. If only you could realize how primitive English is in comparison to French.
Because it's baby tier.
Is this gif real?
I would like the french languages if you all didn’t sound like faggots when you spoke
French is so amazing Quebec needs ridiculous laws to keep it from being replaced by English lmao.
no, you think they make clothes like that for cats?
>t. Never heard a French person, but Canada surely speak normal standard French.
What makes a language a chad language? I don't get it. There are several great languages and I believe German is one of them.
but the cat's is trying so hard
it's got to be real
Only for rudimentary communication. At its advanced stages, it becomes one of the most complex languages out there. Very few individuals—of which I can gladly count myself—are even capable of grasping the semicolon.
how so?
Based native english speaker bro
>the semicolon
Oh, you mean the one that is not english, but actually italian ? You dunce.
We have tons of dialects, many of them vastly different. German is related to so many other languages in one way or the other. Our language is complicated, but it pays off. We can "invent" as many words as we like and even without that the vocabular and possibilites are huge, it's a versatile language that can take many forms. All the idioms, metaphors and devices... The beauty of German is that it enables the speaker to express an idea in its deepest complexity with only one word, some of them are quite pictorial and others are very complex. And we have countless great works of art in it, it's still a relevant language.
I'm not saying it's the best language since I don't believe there is a "best" language, but it's a great thing and whoever says it's "just angry sounding stuff" can suck my dick, they have no idea.
French on the other hand, is fucking rigid as fuck with many obscure rules.
I'm so shit at French, I tried diving into it a bit and Jesus, I can't read, speak or understand it for shit. I can do with Spanish and Italian, but French... The pronounciation already...
English sucks in the sense that you cannot make up words.
Kurumahajanpad - "The Great Republic of the Kurus"
Rashtrsenadhyax - "Commander of the Army of the Republic"
These English translations are long as fuck and inefficient.
>The pronounciation already
That's strange that spanish or italian go well but not french. Especially on the hard consonnants that we share in some ways.
I don't know, I had Latin in school and could somewhat read bits of Spanish, Portugese and Italian when I encountered some texts of it. Never worked as well with French for me. I later took a Spanish course since it's one of the useful languages.
Ah well Latin and French don't work in the same way at all.
Latin is like german with declinaisons.
French is about conjugating verbs in any way, shape or form, with a bunch of arbitrary rules thrown in the lot.
it's just a language for babies that even a third worlder can easily learn
>We have tons of dialects
well, most languages have
>German is related to so many other languages in one way or the other
yeah, not shit. it's a language in the indo-european language family which is a huge language family
>Our language is complicated
not really, german's grammar is comparatively tame
>We can "invent" as many words as we like
every language is capable of doing that?
>All the idioms, metaphors and devices... The beauty of German is that it enables the speaker to express an idea in its deepest complexity with only one word
again, not really exclusive to german
>And we have countless great works of art in it, it's still a relevant language
that's true, though I don't see how makes the language "better" as it doesn't affect the language itself
>I'm not saying it's the best language since I don't believe there is a "best" language
hard agree
>whoever says it's "just angry sounding stuff" can suck my dick, they have no idea
agree
I can't really judge german as the language it is as it's my native language, and so everything I learn about it is sort of normal?
I just can't get the sense of wonder and charm I can get for other languages. (except for english, as that basically also is a native language of mine).
There certainly are parts about german which I like, but it's difficult for me to judge the language in it's "entirety"
what do you mean?
do you mean how you actually speak or how the Académie Française authoritatively tells you how you ought to speak, which is just bullshit anyway
latin's verb system is arguably more expansive than french's is.
>arguably more expansive than french's is.
Maybe. We usually don't use half of verbs conjugating, it's insane, truly. We use maybe 11 on a normal basis.
The way you usually speak is French, with the rules and such, and the Académie made sure that it stayed that way, even when the "use" of it changed or vanished. It's made to be long to decide what change while preserving the core of xhat make the French language it's own thing.
nah mate, french sounds obnoxious as fuck
>well, most languages have
I'm sure we are "above average" in that aspect, especially in variety. My own dialect has almost nothing to do with Bavarian for example in terms of overall sound, but still... Both German
>yeah, not shit. it's a language of the indo-european family tree
Yes, exactly. And German is one of the centerpieces of that. Maybe related doesn't go far enough, I think intertwined is fair as well.
>not really
German is far more difficult to learn than English to learn (not talking about mastering), but it's not as difficult as certain other languages. It has many rules, but they tend to make sense. It's very balanced if you ask me.
>every language is capable of doing that?
No it isn't.
>again, not really exclusive to German
I haven't said that, but it's different with most languages.
>I don't see how it makes the language "better"
It showcases the beauty and flexibility of German to have that many literary pieces etc in it. People like Goethe did change the language by the way. You are right overall, but OP talked about "chad language", a highly arbitrary term and I wanted to point out that we don't have to hide in that aspect, just in case he considered the literary canon a criteria.
>french sounds obnoxious as fuck
How ? Explain.
Because to us, you sound gay, like talking through your nose.
>Because to us, you sound gay, like talking through your nose.
but that's what french is. i can't explain what exactly it is about french, it just sounds really snobby.
>it just sounds really snobby.
Won't it be like that because every french character in your movies or tv shows are snobby ? And maybe even talking with the rollinf R's that haven't existed in France since the 50's and Maurice Chevalier ?
i've heard actual french people speak french and felt personally attacked despite not even being a part of their conversation. there's just something about it. maybe it's just cunty french people that travel to south east asia
lets hold on the discussion for a quick second...
is that gif real??? big if so
>cunty french people that travel to south east asia
OH YES !
They might be parisians. And most people going to south-east asia are cunts.
They also usually go to Vietnam (so they can speak french), don't do shit for 2 months in a big hotel, go bike-traveling, or if they get sick/hurt be brought back asap by the State and tell you all about it's different in those countries.
both posts are by me and I'm not the user you were talking to before, btw
>We use maybe 11 on a normal basis.
yeah, it's normal for a language's grammar to change over time. french currently seems to be in a stage of losing some of it's conjugation (as is currently german). forms like "aimai", "eus aimé", "aimasse", and "eusse aimé" etc. will probably cease to exist in a hundred years or so,kinda like english which lost most of it's verb system.
but then it'll gain some other form of verbal morphology and perhaps develop more complex verbs than latin ever had. who knows
>and the Académie made sure that it stayed that way
not really. the rules a language has are learnt by children when they learn the language, not when some academy tells them how they ought to speak.
children always slightly modify how the language they're taught by their parents, which is how languages change in the first place. but because the language the children speak is different to what the older generationconsider as "proper", many don't like it when languages change.
france as a whole is quite proud of it's language, and so, understandably, seeing it's beloved french changing and acquiring new forms isn't what you'd like to see.
but I wouldn't worry to much. the romans already complained about the way their children were speaking, but instead of "diluting" latin, beautiful languages such as italian or french developed out of it
ah, that must be it. sorry for insulting your entire nation and language x
>the rules a language has are learnt by children when they learn the language, not when some academy tells them how they ought to speak.
Well yeah, but the education material has to be approven by the Académie.
But yeah otherwise I agree about the rest of your post.
No it's okay, that's the mantle we wear...
Those french travelers are the same as the British ones the Spanish hates in some ways, you see ?
Also Franco-British hatred is quite normal.
I don't see how the lack of a way to make up words via compounding sounds is in anyway a disadvantage.
