in Russian we have one that is the opposite of that: we say the word for "bread" to refer to "wheat"

Ahem, jt is "may i get your autograph" 🤓

"Sanskrit is the oldest language" is so bullshit man. This is literally what i was taught in school btw.

I like the thought experiment a lot but I really wish there was a grammar equivalent where the phonology and most of the vocabulary are the same as modern english but grammatical features lost between the early middle and modern period like noun cases are kept somewhat intact (presumably most inflections would be pronounced the same anyways because of reduction of unstressed vowels but whatever man)

there was actually a vid about this recently, by an english linguist- totally recommend you check it out if you're interested! i think the guy's name was geoff lindsay or something

you need to tame your mustache he be goin any- and everywhere except where it should

lithuanian has different words for all and most of them don't hint at the material: glass (drinking) - stiklinė (stiklas - glass (material)) glasses (for your eyes) - akiniai window - langas

The Irish -ín diminutive is found in the English word _smithereens_

Diminutives sound cute in every language.

Doggie style

Japanese: Gohan

Lol hindu extremists, even claim that ,Yoga , meditation were invented by hindus 😅😅😅

They should definitely do more research about isolated and neglected kids.

I mean slowing down does actually help with compression, to a point

😢😢😢

Well, you can stick to kana scripts.

That makes the word for food in japanese make more senses, it already is something i memorized due to how it sounds but the work makes more senses now why they would choose to put rice and meal as the same

Okay, that explains the ching chong, but what about the ling long ting tong? 🤔

That's the most Asian shit I've ever heard

Imagine getting triggered by random guy talking facts. And it was random youtube shorts. So many hystetical babies. 😂😂😂

The Egyptians had a seven day week thats why others adapted to that. Germanics formerly had probably a nine day week. And a decade was a 9 year-thing. Its interpreted from the story of draupnir/tröpfler/dropper.

So basically how everyone on youtube and tiktok speak whenever they cover anything serious "unalive", "PDF", "Self deletion", etc.

Idk about hard but time-consuming for sure. Its pretty intuitive since if you know the word and can recogenize the kanji used in the word you just link the two in your memory. So like the word has a look and a sound. Makss the connection stronger and usually makes them faster to recognize but takes longer to learn since you have to remember 2x the info.

What if we rewrote 1984 in newspeak

Greek was written before Sanskrit too.

Swastika and Aryan were actually Buddhist concepts which were later appropriated by Brahmins and in modern India are claimed as Hindu concepts. Please do research on this.

Newspeak is flawed, but in the story, yes it could work to help limit people’s thought. They already have telescreens that monitor all you say, and with such restricted speech, newspeak would not be able to grow, as any new words created to describe freedom would be restricted and make the person who made it to disappear. It’s hard to think about something you have no words for. Even if you can think of it, it would be near impossible to write down and remember. With that much control, the government would surely be able to stop its growth, like pruning a sprout to keep it from growing and developing.

Word

We can see the same logic in the latin word for human: hoMINem humus (earth, floor) + _men_ = hominem > human Another word could be feMINam, but its etymology is uncertain so I'll shut up

Today I learned it's not probounced "SIN-ek-doshe" 🙃

Ignorance of the highest order

That tik tok withdrawal be hitting people hard huh? Can’t relate

Jeez the Indians trying their best to spread false information is just appalling.

= tʒ + c

Hakenkreuz has nothing to do with swastika , same way as ireland🇮🇪 nothing to do with india🇮🇳

I am in the creation of a language, it has an easy alphabet, with simple rules and it is easy to structure, you can litteraly do whatever you want, and has lots of functionalities so you can be very expressive, and use it for absolutely anything you want

👏👏 bravo shutting down these comments I get that Indians shoild be proud of their history and culture but not to an extreme extent.

New Years was in March until the 1600s and 1700s. The British moved it to January in 1753.

Yeah, I’ve realized when I go to google translate, the pharse I thought would mean this, means something else, ai dont speak spanish but yeah

OHHHH SO THATS WHY I STUTTER SO Much, I'm an Spanish speaker yet I stutter in Spanish because I crash out whole trying to keep up the speed

Being a Japanese learner myself I’ve founded the best method is to learn kanji with vocab. If there’s commonly used kanji for a new vocab word, learn the kanji. Eventually you learn all the readings and the context they’re read that way in. And that’s more or less how natives learn them. Trying to sit down and learn every kanji like it’s an alphabet is a fool’s errand.

In Brazil, we say "café-da-manhã" for breakfast. Litterally "morning coffee". Sometimes we just say "café/coffee"

Often, irregularities are due to languages taking on elements of other languages.

What was the sound change that caused the /d/ to become a /b/?

Indian nationalists are so fucking goofy

As a former grammar nazi... accurate.

I guess I am the only vowel hiatus, because I always say the end.

Because we have to use more words to comunicate something.

Korean is pretty easy

Yeah in French a sword is an iron 😂
