Why are so many people completely incapable of differentiating the English words:

>your
>you're

What is the equivalent of the your/you're issue in your native language?
>>
>>59848465
you're=olet
your=sinun
>>
>>59848568
Does Finnish have any two words/homophones that cause a lot of issues for native Finnish speakers when writing?
>>
you're = você é
your = seu
>>
We have

>ka
Which stands for "that", as in, "he said , that (ka) it was a fun gathering or whatnot"

>kad
which stands for "when" , as in, "he said that life was better when (kad) we were living in the 80s"


Native speakers mix these up a lot, it's especially annoying to hear a politician, spokesperson, teacher or anyone who should really pay attention to what they are saying, make this mistake. But it's so common, it's pretty much like your / you're, can't think of any similar atm.
>>
he's not asking the translation of you're and your
>>
>>59848810
As for you're/ your

You're = Tu esi

Your = Tavs

>>59848810
Could you vocaroo these two sentences in Latvian?

> "he said , that it was a fun gathering or whatnot"
> "he said that life was better when we were living in the 80s"

When I was learning German in Germany, I used to listen to German songs on youtube and try to translate the comments left by users. Often I would get stuck wondering wtf they were trying to say, so I'd ask my German roommate and he would say the people that leave the comments are really 'low class' speakers and he would never write like that.
So I guess there are many German ways to mix things up.

>>59848937
Alter, kannst du Deutsch?
>>
>>59848640
not really
tho sentences are arranged differently which causes some issues nothing major
>>
>>59848465
Your and you're is literally reddít: the grammatical mistake. Lie and lay is a better indicator of grammatical competency. Who and whom is another one also.
>>
>>59848465
니가 = nigger = you're
>>
>your
__ shelcha
>you're
ata

>>59849303
I'm pretty happy if someone can at least get its/it's right.
>>
>>59848465
I think most of the time when people misspell 'you're' as 'your', they're just being lazy fucks.

Most of my english mistakes lie with 'in' and 'on'. Yeah, I know the "inside" and "on top" rule, but sometimes the line between the two is blurry to me.
>>
seid (are) and seit (since)
>>
>>59848858
Latvian
>tu esi
Russian
>te iest
German
>du ist
French
>tu es
English
>you are

wtf english
