Cute things that Europeans say

Tell me more about cute grammar mistakes you make.
>>61027961
No
>>61027961
i used to say "this makes me so fast nobody after"
and
"this is me so what from sausage"
until people corrected me
>>61028108
Mean.
>>61028144
I don't even know what you're trying to say with those, but they sound cute.
>>61027859
sauce
Native speaker but I used to say "fuck do I know" instead of "fuck if I know"
I don't get this thread either.
Am I cute?

>how does it look like?
>i'm waiting since 2 hours!
>explain me this
I don't get it.
this is how people talk in my country though.
we also say
>what are you saying (what are you doing)
>wagwan (what are you doing)
>sound (what are you doing)
>>61028428
lmao what
>>61028428

>>61028401
He is giving examples of grammatical errors that non-native English speakers often make
>>61028468
They seem correct to me.
>>61028476
CUTE
>how does it look like?
What does it look like?
>i'm waiting since 2 hours!
I have been waiting for 2 hours!
>explain me this
Explain this to me
people in NYC say they are waiting "on line" instead of "in line" and it bothers the fuck out of me
>>61028476
>They seem correct to me.
You make the world a better place.
>we have freedom of speech in europe.
>>61028144
Hehe
That's because you structured your sentence like a German one.
I do the same thing when I speak German sometimes except I structure the German sentence like a English one.
>>61028343
Its "fucked if I know"
>>61028580
Oh fuck that's what I meant
>>61028401
should be
>I have been waiting for 2 hours
>>61028580
>>61028600
No it's not, he was right the first time.
"Fuck if I know"
Most mistakes come up when trying to make English sentences with your native language's grammar and using native idioms.
We say "I ate a dog on that". Try and guess what does it mean. The protippiest of all protips: you can't.
>>61028639
No, that's not how it's phrased in aus/nz
>>61027809
When I'm all alone I try to fake a proper real English pronunciation. In public I speak like an american because it's easier that way. It's my dark secret.
>>61028690
Well we invented the fucking language so go dive on your head mate
>>61027809
>tfw surrounded by durkadurkas and softass eurocucks geographically
we need to move turkey as far away from this hellhole as possible, preferably to somewhere on the pacific ocean
>>61028720
And we have our own standard version of it. You don't see prussians going around getting butthurt at austrians. Blow it out your bumhole.
>>61027809
>i have to make my homework
Who even did that? Honestly? Am i the only one who didn't do shit and got away with it?
>>61028666
Does it mean like, "I did that very well/skillfully"?
>>61028725
Turkey shouldn't even exist cunt, Constantinople is Greek!

Trying to say something more complicated than "Cats go meow" always results in a frustrating experience full of self-hating and self-shaming. We have three tenses and English has 16. I just don't know what and where to use.
>>61028754
>You don't see prussians going around getting butthurt at austrians
yeah, for the same reason you don't see dodos going around getting mad at chickens
>>61028923
High german isn't extinct you dipshit, it is widely spoken.
Also, it's really hard to remember that inanimate objects are called "it" no matter what. I always go back and reread what I have wrote to ensure I'm not calling a table "him" or lamp "her" by accident.
>>61028935
isnt high german medieval german and not hochdeutsch?

Hate it when I produce a long well-thought out post, and these little brats start popping up, previously completely unnoticed.
>>61027809
>explain me this
Riddle me this: why is "riddle me this" appropriate and that one is not?
Europeans are CUTE!
>>61029063
>Riddle me this: why is "riddle me this" appropriate and that one is not?
It's to confuse non-native speakers
>>61029063
"Riddle me this" is a saying and it is a bit dated so that's why it is an exception.
>>61029063
because the me in explain me this sounds like direct object or whatever its called and the me in riddle me this sounds like indirect object - like accusative and dative - you cant say explain me this because you sound like you want someone to explain you
>>61028908
I don't even use all 16, I only use 6: past, present, future, like in Russian, and their continuous variants.
I did / I was doing
I do / I am doing
I will do / I will be doing
>>61028428
literally copying london slang 2bh.
>>61029063
It's a saying from a popular riddle game that nobody plays anymore.
>Riddle me this, who's flag is red white and blue and also fell before 92
?????
>>61029145
What if I need to say something more complicated like "I would not have been doing that without your help."
>>61027809
What kinda fucking autists do you talk to OP
>>61028823
>Try and guess what does it mean
"Try and guess what it means"? "Try and guess what is the meaning of this"?
It's soooooo hard to sound natural.
>>61029192
Then you say "I could not have done that without your help".
>>61027809
I like it when eastern europeans miss out 'a' or 'the'

>>61029173
That's not where it's from. I remember hearing it used in an old black and white film. It's just an idiom. In future, please remember that you are an American and are therefore forbidden from commenting on the English language.
>>61029192
>I would not have been doing that without your help.
When would you ever need to say something like that? Is that supposed to be past or present tense? What a confusing sentence.
>>61029245
The first one is fine and that's what you should use.
The second one should be:
>Try and guess what the meaning of this is
>>61029252
what if he really wants to say i would not have been doing that without your help?
>>61027809
Broken English is best English, we should stop foreigners from learning our language fluently as much as possible

People here often forget to use articles ("I saw cat walking by"), and mess up gendered pronouns.

>>61029458
>>61029474
Or misuse articles, amirite?
Only the God knows.
Normal people are the sheep.
>>61028811
Is "Cock" really a "rooster"? If so, it doesn't make any sense.
>articles
Don't get me started on those useless... things.
>>61029513
Yes, some people overuse them because they're hyper-aware of this problem.
>>61029550

I'd love to fuck this russian weaboo up the ass while he tells me he likes the way I speak
>>61029550
Male birds are Cocks, female birds are Hens.
Cock can also be short for Cockerel, i.e. Rooster
>>61029557
Useless? How on earth does a language function without articles? Context alone is not enough, surely
>>61029585
>I'd love to fuck this russian weaboo up the ass
awww yiss
>while he tells me he likes the way I speak
Not going to happen. There is only one true English and it's the British one.
>>61029584
>>61029592
Aх, вoт oнo чтo. A я пpo хyй пoдyмaл.
>>61029550
The rooster is primarily a way of cleaning out slopes.
HEAH, HERE COME THE ROOSTHEAH, NO WE AIN'T GONNA DIEHEAH
>>61029620
languages work on cases or articles. in my opinion cases are more descriptive but articles are easier to use. you need only one of the two to have a functioning language, some languages have both and are very descriptive, but more or less articles and basic rules for where the subject and the objects go is as good as a cases based language.
>>61029620
english doesnt have cases, only articles, thats why you need context to find out if a word is the object or the subject - articles sort that out is what i meant to say
we should still be declensed like anglo-saxon was, basically every fucked up part of english is the fault of preening francophile sissy fag-boy english nobles. The other part is gratuitous and unecessary greek importation.
go fuck a water horse
>>61029653
>Aх, вoт oнo чтo. A я пpo хyй пoдyмaл.
Google Translate gave me this:
>AX , vot chto ono . A I ppo hyy podymal .
t-thanks...
>>61029697
English has 3 cases - all except Dative, afaik
>>61029697
English has one more case than Bulgarian, being the objective. English users get it wrong all the time.
>To whom it may concern...
>>61029620
Indefinite articles is complete useless. Just don't put any articles at all.
Definite article is useless 99% of the time because the context makes everything clear. If you're eating something and saying "The dish is delicious" there is no point for "the" to be there. You're eating anyway, what other dish are you possibly referring to.
>>61029800
>>61029790
thats not a case though. those particles have a separate name. like I, me, (to) me. you cant have those as the same word in any language - no matter if they have cases or not. also bulgarian doesnt have cases. well you can say it has vocative, but thats dying out and people dont use it generally.
>>61029790
>Google Translate
Don't use it for translating Russian off 4chan.
For some reason the 4chan engine changes some of the russian symbols (like C A O E К etc) with similar looking Latin symbols.
>>61029790
Your Google.Translate is broken.
>>61029790
thats because they substitute some of the identical cyrilic and latin letters so google reads it as gibberish. either the users or the russian default keyboard layout is retarded
"I could care less"
Of course, it should be "couldn't".
>>61029916
only retarded amerilards do that
I don't want to write anything at all because of I'm afraid of sounding like "Who was phone".
>>61029865
I think you're talking about case inflection, rather than grammatical cases as a concept. In which case, we only have Genitive.
>>61029933
>"I could care less"
They suggest you to pay them so they could try harder and care even lesser.
>>61028144

>>61027809
>I have hunger
French a cute
>>61029979
>But that's adorable!
I confused the hell out of myself because I have read "But that's affordable!".
>>61028390
Yes. These are basically word-for-word translations of german phrases.

>In English most nouns are inflected for number with the inflectional plural affix -s (as in "dog" → "dog-s"), and most English verbs are inflected for tense with the inflectional past tense affix -ed (as in "call" → "call-ed"). English also inflects verbs by affixation to mark the third person singular in the present tense (with -s), and the present participle (with -ing). English short adjectives are inflected to mark comparative and superlative forms (with -er and -est respectively). In addition, English also shows inflection by ablaut (sound change, mostly in verbs) and umlaut (a particular type of sound change, mostly in nouns), as well as long-short vowel alternation. For example:
>Write, wrote, written (marking by ablaut variation, and also suffixing in the participle)
>Sing, sang, sung (ablaut)
>Foot, feet (marking by umlaut variation)
>Mouse, mice (umlaut)
>Child, children (ablaut, and also suffixing in the plural)
>>61029943
>because of I'm afraid
>of
>>>61030029
>I ___ confused
>>61027809
>what you want
>something need doing
>me happy to
>work work
>zug zug
>>61030027
Almost every romance language
>>61028499
explain me this is actually correct but its not as natural
>>61030097
The second one is fine, vlad. "I confused myself" is a perfectly valid sentence.
>>61030097
No bully please.
"I have confused myself?"
"I had confused myself?"
>>61030027
>>61030118
Finnish does that too
>irregular verbs
>it's the non native speakers pretending to know english while native speakers are laughing episode
I wish I could be laughing with you lads.
>>61027809
>how does it look like?
w-wait why is this wrong?
>>61030166
Do you literally not have the words for the form "I am hungry?"
>>61030205
What are you doing in Poland mate?
A чтo ecли пиcaть пo-aнглийcки тaк, кaк бyдтo пишeшь пo-pyccки? Haвepнoe, пoхoжe нa peчь Йoды.
And what if writing on English, like you writing on Russian? Probably, looks like speech of Yoda.
>>61030118
Not only romance languages. "Ich habe Hunger." is the usual way of saying "I'm hungry." in German.
>>61029997
"this makes me so fast nobody after" = "Das macht mir so schnell keiner nach."
This basically means "Nobody will be able to quickly imitate me." (because I've done something great or special)
"this is me so what from sausage" = "Das ist mir sowas von wurst." basically means "I don't give a fuck."
>>61030224
You can say either of the following:
>How does it look?
As in, how does this dress look on me? Good or bad?
>What does it look like?
As in, tell me something that looks comparable to this?
>>61030224
what does it look like/what's it look like
>>61030228
>to be
Disgusting.
>>61030228
You can use that form too, but it's less common. Both actually work. I have hunger (Minulla on nälkä), I am hungry (Olen nälkäinen).
>>61030258
>>61030265
damn I always say how does it look like, now I feel dumb.
>>61030265
>interchangeable "is" and "does".
>>61030205
>implying native English speakers aren't just as stupid
I don't mean not being able to formulate sentences properly but just look at how many times you see Americans or Brits get you're/your, it's/its, they're/there/their wrong etc
>>61029550
it also means penis
>>61030254
>on English
hehehe, you and the Croats both, buddy
>>61030273
Woah, back the fuck up a second there.
There are languages that don't have the verb "be"?
>>61030314
They're pronounced the same as far as I know so I'm not sure why only stupid people would make that mistake.
>>61030299
The second form is slang and not grammatically correct, don't worry.
You can say "What is it like?" though.
>>61030335
It's not the same when you are writing or typing, I don't understand how anyone over the age of 10 can't differentiate them
>>61030354
You don't know much about linguistics huh
>>61030314
That's not that bad, but every time I see native speaker using should/would/could OF I really want to fucking kill them. I understand someone like me making that mistake but for fuck's sake how the fuck someone using english since their birth can make that mistake.
>>61030335
theyre may sound different from their and there depending on your dialect
>>61030228
Lačen sem - Hungry am.
Basically the exact opposite of Russian where they would say 'Ya golodnyj' (I hungry).
>>61030282
>now I feel cute
FTFY
>>61030370
Literally nothing desu. I just go by instinct. Formal grammar hasn't been taught in English schools for decades.
>>61030373
Also this for non-Brits:
>can I use (the) bathroom?
>you might.
>>61030314
i wanna see those people try to learn french
>>61030401
> Formal grammar hasn't been taught in English schools for decades
Wait really? I kinda wish they would do that in Italy too, it's pretty useless. Also I was referring to the part about slang being grammatically incorrect, it's ltierally not incorrect if native speakers use it; but you shouldn't use it in a formal setting.
>>61030333
Don't know if Russian\Ukrainian\Belarusian are special snowflakes, but the answer is yes. Eastern slavic languages don't have the "be' verb. We used to have it centuries ago (ecть) but we dropped it throughout the ages.
I am hungry - Я гoлoдeн ("I hungry" or "I hunger")
It is not working - Этo нe paбoтaeт (This not working)
She is cute - Oнa милaя (She cute)
Forgot to mention that the use of the "to be" verb in Russian makes you sound like an old king or something.
>>61030379
>>61030228
Jaz sem lačen. - I am hungry.
>>61030417
Do people really say that?
>>61030459
Nah languages without the verb to be (called copula) are called zero copula languages
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_copula
>>61030401
ofc it has been taught. you just didnt bother with it. the same with me and bulgarian. we did study those things but no one cared enough to remember it for longer than a year. and it is because you go by instinct that you dont have to remember it and re-use the information youve been taught
>>61030459
How do you tell the difference between "she was cute" and "she is cute" if you just say "she cute"?
>>61030401
It sure is taught in goddamn Slovenian schools, I tellee. Blew my mind plum through. My old friend who's half English took 10 years to finish his English studies cause of that thar varmint. Now me, I got gone outta Dodge sooner n' you can say 'tumbleweed'.
>>61030511
No, grammar is not on the English school curriculum. I think I would know. Does it surprise you that much?
>>61030539
actually yes. do you not even learn whats a simple sentence and whats a composite sentence? or whatever that is called in english
>>61030488
That makes you sound like Kralj Matjaž, m8.
>>61030516
Because in the past tense the "to be" verb suddenly reappears and the correct form is "Oнa былa милoй" (She was cute).
>>61030140
>>61030144
"I confused myself" would be correct, if the event would have happened long ago. But it has happened recenttly, so you should use "have".
I want to culturally enrich an Estonian or Danish girl.
>>61030516
they have the verb to be in past and future tense - not in present
ona krasivaya - she is beautiful
ona byla krasivaya - she was beautiful
ona budet krasivaya - she will be beautiful
>>61030581
Too bad you're ugly and asocial.
>>61030578
>the event would have happened long ago. But it has happened recenttly, so you should use "have"
I will use the version with no verb and the whole world can go and suck a big throbbing cock.
>>61030511
>>61030555
It really legitimately is not taught. Trust us, we lived it.
I may or may not have been taught what a verb/noun/adjective is in primary school, but high school was exclusively essays.
All grammar I or anyone else my age knows is either self-taught (rare) or grasped by intuition (error-prone).
>>61030555
Nice trips.
We don't learn anything because it isn't taught.
>>61030578
Damn, you're right. It's called "Present perfect". Fuggin ruskies.
>>61030555
I think they started teaching it again now, but I had no idea what a noun/verb/adjective/etc was until I was like 18.
I remember having spelling tests every week for like 4 years when I was really young though.
>>61030613
I even comma-spliced!
>>61027809
>>explain me this
wait, what's wrong with this? it's sounds correct
>>61030640
>but I had no idea what a noun/verb/adjective/etc was until I was like 18.
W00t. I've used to have nightmares about all the nuances of our language and all I remember now is just the declination anyway.
>>61030613
>>61030632
well we did learn grammar in primary school too
in high school it was essays as you say, but we did learn grammar between 5 and 7th grade more or less.
desu i would say i got confused. i wouldnt use i confused myself or i have confused myself.
>>61030487
Aз ecмь цapь
It's not completely dead, many people know some of it and use it as a joke, like "ye olde shoppe".
>>61030674
It is correct, but no one speaks like that anymore.
>>61030674
Explain this to me
>>61030690
Aз cъм цap.
hahaha you used to use az as well?
>>61030401
What do you mean by formal grammar though? English is a very neutral language in that regard, for example most other ones have actual substantive differences like tu/vous in French. Our version would be you/thou except thou hasn't been used outside of Bible studies for decades. You can make anything sound formal in English by just replacing short words with bigger, scarier sounding ones.
commence
start
terminate
end
endeavour
try
etc
Actual formal grammar isn't really used that often because it's kind of archaic like thou, whom for example isn't used often either
Can I...
May I...
Might I...
I can't think of a single instance in my life where I've used might like that
>>61030716
>I can't think of a single instance in my life where I've used might like that
Might I suggest you think a bit harder?
>>61030753
May I recommend you go fuck yourself?
>>61030716
He means things like words order (SVO), prepositions, lexical categories. I can't believe you actually didn't know what he meant.
Also I'd like to point out that every "scary" word you wrote came from French.
Is grammar really not taught in Commonwealth countries? I spent all three years of middle school doing sentence diagrams and shit.
>>61030716
>>61030753
I think you two are interpreting 'formal' in different ways.
>>61030716
fancier words have nothing to do with grammar. grammar is about where to put the verb, when to use to, from, of, where to write commas, which is the object and which is the subject and so on. using a fancier word changes nothing grammatically generally speaking
>>61030596
>says the Italian
>>61030768
Us too! I hated that shit. Also I had a suspicion that Americans learned grammar because of in the latest season of South Park the teacher was talking about infinitives.
>>61030774
>where to write commas
that's interpunction ;^)
>>61030768
It's really not taught. It hasn't been since the 60s. Apparently back then the people in charge decided that learning grammar "stifled our creativity".
Fucking hippies.
>>61030793
That makes no sense. Never in my life have I heard that Italians are asocial.
>>61030716
like grammar isnt about whether you should use tomorrow or tuesday or any other word, but its about putting tuesday or tomorrow in the beginning or the end of the sentence or it will sound weird and will be technically wrong
>>61030825
You must not have been on this board for long. You learn that Canadians can't banter on Day 1.

The latter is used in literacy

Oh, dunno if one's part of the other. I didn't give many fucks about polish tbqh.
>>61030824
It's a shame that creativity is completely incomprehensible.

That's fucked up, bro. Who's going to respect English if the English won't?
>>61030282
I think its quite commmon with a lot of non natives though so you dont look dumb 2bh
>>61030876
>The latter is used in literacy
I'm glad we're getting back on track.
>>61030834
>>61030774
The difference between how you would speak with friends/family and work colleagues/in essays is what I mean by formal. I really don't think English has many actual grammatical changes, just vocabulary
>>61030949
I'm not sure that counts. He just doesn't know what literacy means. It's hardly the same thing as a cute grammatical error.
>>61030949
That sentence is completely normal and you can't convince me otherwise.
>>61030965
its not about changes. you construct sentences in a way.
not about changes is it. construct you sentences a in way
>>61030417
I think they're saying "you may"
>>61030994
I think he means that 'literacy' is the wrong word to use here.
>>61030979
That counts! Literacy/literature, I've been making the same mistake. It's just confusing when two words are spelled the same, but look completely different when translated.
For a long time I didn't know that lend and borrow mean different things. I would borrow money to my friends and so on.
>>61030965
The reason you don't think English has much grammar is because you weren't taught it.
Do you know what substantives and attributives are? Syncatergorematic words? How the gentitive case is inflected? When to use the imperative or the optative form of the volitive mood? Transitive vs Intransitive verbs? The copula? Do you know what infinitives/participles/gerunds are? The pronomial?
Basically what I'm saying is: fucking top yourself lad.

>>61030640
Yea i think we learnt that in primary and early secondary school and that's about it
im 18 btw
>>61031063
We have one word for both of these and I had problems with lend/borrow too, so I'm assuming it's the same with you.
>>61030979
I'm going to allow it.
>>61031063
In some varieties of English, they do mean the same thing. We talk that way in the southeastern US.
That being said, we're taught to make a distinction when writing or speaking formally.
>>61031063
>>61031156
This is definite cute.
>>61031169
>In some varieties of English, they do mean the same thing.
No, they don't. You're just uneducated hicks.
>>61030762
Might I say, do one.
>>61031138
I'd say about 1% of the Anglophone population does, they just do all of that without thinking about it

it is basic, but not nonexistent. i personally dont understand why it isnt taught
>>61030949
that literally makes perfect sense
>>61031322
>>61030994
Literacy is the ability to read and write.
The appropriate word is literature.
>>61031311
It's not basic, it's incomprehensibly complex. See >>61031138
That's why it isn't taught. It's completely beyond the abilities of an average adult to learn and retain, let alone a child.
>>61031322
Oh boy, another product of our failing education system.
>>61031063
lmao I do that too and so do people I know
It was raining heavily recently and my cute Spanish co-worker came to work with wellies over her normal shoes.
Only she called her "willies".
I didn't correct her.

Then tell a Russian or Japanese speaker when you should use "a", "the" or nothing.
Explain plurals to the Japanese too.
Explain the whole "shuffle verb position in interrogation" thing to Romance speakers.
Good luck with the irregulars, by the way - strong verbs are nowhere as common as in German to give you a "gist" of the correct ablaut to use.
The "be" verb is alien for lotsa people.
AND HOW THE FUCK do you track object, subject and predicative without declensions? On the other side: why can't you just say "give apple to I"?
TL;DR: no, English grammar is not easy and you're probably full of native speaker bias.
>Explain me this
This is wrong??
"Hello, could you explain me this, why is the sky blue?"
>>61031363
all those words sound fancy, but they mean simple things. i dont know what those words mean, but i do understand the concept. every language has those. and of course we forget the words that mean those things but just learning the grammar makes you understand the concept of those. trust me english has one of the simplest grammars there is. i speak a little of a lot of languages and english has by far the easiest grammar. the only thing which is somewhat hard to grasp is all the tenses, but once you learn a few simple rules they all make sense.
>>61031437
The correct form is "explain this to me", as has been said countless times in this thread already
>>61031311
Someone already explained why in this thread. There are hippie teachers who think it shouldn't be taught because it stifles creativity.
>>61031363
English grammar is quite complex, but I don't think the basic categories (parts of speech, tenses, moods) and rules of thumb are too much for children. I learned them just fine when I was in school.

I still don't know how to use in/on/into/onto correctly because I can't be bothered to research and I don't care enough to memorise shit. I just go with what sounds right. I wonder how that happened since articles came very easily and naturally to me even though Finnish doesn't have any of that shit.

The Pole posted two hard words for Anglos, "thanks" and "excuse me".
The Dane posted something like "me own a house", probably with broken grammar.
