I never said it wasn't logical. But having so many cases makes a language more advanced to learn.
>>
>>56778182
well, not only the cases but we have lots and lots of other ending things as well, which are usually pretty much irregular. But sometimes they can be pretty handy and you can express a complete sentence in one world, like
>menisinköhän
roughly translates to "I wonder if I should go", that -hän, part is not translatable but it alters the tone of the world a little bit
>>

You can easily learn Yiddish, which makes learning Hebrew easier.
Also, it is going to be space language since you have infinite words.

This is true here in Norway too, however they will only fuck you though.

One of the downsides with Scandinavian women is that they will fuck anything, but only marry natives, which essentially means we are picking up the trash.

Uw wil geschiede, op aarde zoals in de hemel.

Geef ons heden ons dagelijks brood.
Unser tägliches Brot gib uns heute.

En vergeef ons onze schulden
Und vergib uns unsere Schuld,

Gelijk ook wij aan anderen vergeven.
wie auch wir vergeben unsern Schuldigern.

En leid ons niet in verzoeking,
Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung,

maar verlos ons van de boze.
sondern erlöse uns von dem Bösen.

Want van U is het koninkrijk
Denn dein ist das Reich

en de kracht en de heerlijkheid
und die Kraft und die Herrlichkeit
