The Finnish language has over 300 words for snow but no word for love.

Don't they also have no word for "Please"? Finns are rude desu
>>52261853
The Romanian language has over 300 words for thievery but no word for honesty.
they don't need it
Finns had to loan the word for "mother" from Gothic as they didn't have it to begin with.
>>52261952
we use 'thank you' in that context or "may I have_____?"
>>52261983
Yeah but that's rude. "May I *please* have a coffee" or "May I have a coffee please" is a lot better.
>>52262051
it's not rude in finnish you dimwit and we know how to say bitte etc abroad
>>52261952
It's polite to stay quiet in Finnish.
>>52262069
>it's not rude in finnish you dimwit
Yeah but your language is fundamentally rude then, and without that level of politeness and formality in your own language it ultimately breeds impolite people. It also just makes you seem insincere when you say the word in other languages, since the concept does not exist in your culture.
>>52262051
They don't say "If it please you" in English either, unlike in Dutch or in French.
>>52262169
>fundamentally rude
that makes no sense if you judge it in another languages context
otherwise there has to be some universal meta-language thing that applies to all languges
>>52262233
It's called English
>>52261960
>implying romanian
>>52261853
Complete bullshit 2bh perhe
>>52262233
I don't know Bob, I'm sure the concept of manners and genuine politeness is foreign to Amerifats as well, but most proper cultures have an ingrained sense of politeness to them that are universally applicable

>>52261969
Ema. Estonians still use it, but it sounds very old timey in finnish
>>52262292
You really think that adding needless words to your phrases is "polite", do you?
>>52262169
It just means they have fundamentally thicker skin and don't give a damn about the unimportant things like small talk and insincere, pretentious over-politeness. Be honest or stay quiet.
>>52262292
ffs you can't compare it directly to indo-europeans, you might be perceived as rude here in various ways, never mind in the steppes of russia
you've got your head up your ass really
>>52262261
meta-language isn't really a language
just rules about usage and stuff
>>52262292
there are phrases words and cultural assumptions
in some places the please is the identifier in some places the may, or both or neither depending on the conditional or the passive
then there are formal but does this mean languages without the formal mode are more arrogant than the ones that do, according to you it is, that is some meta-universal thing that people keeps complaining about
the name is not bob
>>52262169
Actually the please is within the ending. Thats just how agglutinating languages are. When you ask "Saisinko lusikan?" It means may i have a spoon please, but "saanko lusikan?" is just can i have a spoon.
But I would try to nitpick every other language just to draw attention away from my own too if I was dutch
>>52262355

Over 4,000,000 words for shitposting but no words for silence.
>>52262603
>>52262657
Could you phrase that more politely, or is that haram in your language?
Spädre :D
>>52262685
if you really are curious you can look up linguistic relativity it has to do with how language is linked to culture
that is if you get off your high horse sometime

I'm not curious because I know I'm right, and the fact that people are getting so flustered just proves it.
Kulkulupa means lunatic in here.
>>52262780
We're just being polite and giving you those (you)s you want.
>>52262780
>get told by multiple people you're wrong as fuck
I-I-im ri-right guise!
smoke less weed nigger
>>52262780
You're not right. Most words have only an equivalent in other languages, and the word, phrase or expression nearest in intensity is used when there isn't a perfect equivalent.
>>52261853
paula is my 3D waifu
>>52262780
well yes right that it does sound rude to you
the point is it can't sound rude simply because they don't use some word that other languages have, there is some absurdity in that
>finnish people
Lovely
>>52262903
Well yes, if that word is closely tied with feelings of humility and kindness, and your language has no word to express those feelings, then those feelings don't get developed in the person.
>>52262944
nope, that is one distance too far
they can, it's just in their culture the non-existence of such a word does not imply rudeness
do you see it? sure you do
>>52262944
Voisitko suksia vittuun? Kiitos.
>>52262685

>>52262169
>fundamentally rude
You can't be this dense can you? Different languages have different ways of showing politeness. The Dutch language does it differently than Finnish, it really isn't that hard to understand. You're just looking at it from the wrong perspective.
>>52262685
>>52262780
>>52262526

>>52262292
Are you baiting or actually retarded enough to believe that there is some kind of metric that can be universally applied to languages to judge against each other
Finns aren't rude because of their language, Finns aren't even rude
I got more help from random strangers with directions and had more conversations in the week I was in Helsinki than the month I was in the Netherlands, all I got from you swamp kikes was rudeness and retardation
Just like this thread I guess
>>52262944
>300 words for snow
That is probably Sami and not Finnish. I can't think of even ten words for it.
>Greeks have 300 words for fucking a man but only 1 word for fucking a woman
>>52263652
I think it's based on how in Finnish you can string together multiple words to make one word, so what would be two words in english (verb-noun) is just one word in Finnish
ie Wet snow, cold snow, dry snow, white snow etc.
At least that's my best guess
>>52261853

wet snow does have its own word, but the rest aren't even compound words,
cold snow - kylmä lumi
dry snow - kuiva lumi
white snow - valkoinen lumi

looks like most of those terms for snow are based on the word "tla" (snow) and are only modified by various prefixes and suffixes. 300 words for snow are a lie.
>>52264026
That is bullshit
Eskimo is not a homogenious culture, or whatever. They have different languages with agglutination, half of the ''words'' there have ''tla'' ot ''tl''. That's like saying skyfall and sky-scrappers are words for sky too.

This. When you ask something and don't want to sound rude, you use conditional or some other suffix, like -pa/pä or han/hän.
