Everytime I see a sign translated into a bunch of different languages English always uses the fewest words. Is it the most expressive and efficient language in existence
Most of those can be cut down
>>55931095
>german microfont
fontlets
Latin: "Ave"
>>55931095
there is a saying that english is a language of commerce, meaning its rather simple and hard to missinterpret
the german sign could be "Willkommen" aswell but adding a bunch of filler words makes it more "herzlich"
>Bienvenue à tous
Bienvenue.
Why not just fucking wilkommen?
>>55931095
>Bian v'nue à tous
wtf I love normand now
>>55931285
VERDAMMTES WILLKOMMEN
>>55931095
You can also just say welcome in the other languages.
Van harte means from my heart. So a heartfelt welcome.
>>55931095
>Is it the most expressive and efficient language in existence
someone actually believes this
>>55931354
So if anything, the sign just means the British are less welcome than the other people.
>>55931095
>go to hospital
>notice in many languages, probably some google translate
>arab is the most corrected by far
Some time ago I realized how gigantic the amount of monosyllabic words is in english. It's hard to find non monosyllabic english words unless they come from latin or roman languages
>>55931095
I guess

I unironically believe this. English has an astronomical amount of words and relatively few rigid rules, so articulating any point is possible
>>55931813
I kekked audibly
>>55931095
>few words
>expressive
pick one
>>55931813
What the fuck is a Scam Hog
>>55931813
>>55931095
Idiot,it's because the other signs say ''Welcome to everybody'' and the english one only says ''Welcome''
>>55931987
It is though. English has more words than other languages because each words expresses more instead of using multiple words to mediate each others' meanings.

>you speak enough arabic to know this
ahmed pls
>>55931095
>English always uses the fewest words
English is very analytic for an Indo-European language so I doubt you can say that.
>>55931095
lmao german
>>55931095
As a Canadian I have to agree. Thing here have to be labeled in both languages and the French is always longer.

English is extremely expressive; not the most but very high up there.
>>55931813
>>55931095
>anglos in charge of languages
the german translation is literally 'everyone are warmly welcome' or something among those lines.
get off your high horse, asslord, in some regards english is a very limited language
>>55931095
The sign used to say welcome everybody, you can see it's cropped off on top of it being the actual translation of the other languages.
Bienvenue à tous is 14 letters
Welcome everybody is 16 letters.
While I agree on overall with your point of English being short and efficient in its constructions, your example is shit.
>>55931095
Actually that should say: ''Welcome everybody''
>>55931095
>Welcome
>Welcome to you
>Heartfully welcome
Why is English Finnish-tier impolite
>>55934045
Nah. Here it would just say "sisäänkäynti".
>>55931953
>I unironically believe this.
Because you're a monolingual who has no idea what a language actually is.
