>ll sounds like a Y mixed with a half-assed J or Ch
ja-ja-ja is actually just ha-ha-ha

English is actually retarded

I used to have a few Turkish friends and they'd start telling stories and mix up their he and shes every other sentence. Good times.
>vast majority of languages uses plural to denote respect
I've been having nightmares and dreams ever since I started reviewing all my notes and practice before going to bed.
>"th" in english stand for dental fricatives
>>61176939
The j is a bit stronger than the h. But spaniards can't into soft h so they will pronounce h like j, always.
>>61177662
It's funnier in spanish because they can and will fuck up in literally every sentence. Anglos too.
>>61177965
>muh softness
glottal h is disgusting and some mongs happen to fucking voice it like Czechs
>>61177740

>english pronunciation makes no sense
>it's virtually impossible how to pronunce a word if you have just read it, or how to write it if you have just heard it
>>61177740
Here in Italy the plural to denote respect is regarded as very old and outdated and now use the third person.
>>61178032
It's "important" because some languages have both the soft and the strong sound.
>>61178092
what? you know this is a thread about languages you retard
>though, throw, thought, through, taught
What the fuck
>>61178136
Same in spain, kinda, except argies who use a bastardized version. Not even for formal, it's the normal form for them.
>>61173969
>Russians have trouble saying unstressed "o"
>>61173969
That triggers me a lot
>>61178146
okay
>hey guys we revived hebrew
>we totally didn't make it sound european
>>61178217
they didn't
changed the syntax a bit so it works a little slavic now
>>61176939
>says the guy with the even more fucked up xa-xa-xa
>>61178217
Im really sorry a bunch of German speaking cunts cant sound like Abdullah from Medina, boo hoo wah
fuck off
>>61178245
slavic? how is Hebrew in any way a 'little Slavic'
>>61178362
changed the default sentence order
it affected the entirety of syntax
>>61178319
Xa xa xa is just ha ha ha?
Fuck.
>>61178032
what did you say about me you little hovno?
>>61178319
We have no "h" in Cyrillic alphabet and use "х" instead while spaniards use Latin alphabet
>>61178445
go away you baby language user
take Polish words, use them in an absurd context, slap baby sounds on them - poof here's Czech
>>61178430
is SVO exclusive to Slavic languages? that is the only major change in Hebrew
>>61178442
Yeah few years ago I also thought russians had a sort of evil laughter.
>>61178548
this little change reshaped generative syntax trees considerably
>>61178507
haha funny you say that but honestly Polish is such a meme language bastardised by German and Russian words
atleast we speak true and original slavic language unlike you kikes
>>61178461
It's still beyond fucked up m8. You can't laugh with A FUCKING X
>>61178640
>it's good to be primitive
>>61178641
they pronounce it chhhh like when you have cough and want to spit
>>61178598
ok? it's not Slavic in any way,
>>61178697
>Polák
>tells a member of civilized nation he is primitive
look at yourself and than speak about others my god
>>61178699
I know, doesn't change how it looks
>>61178461
H is mute in spanish. Ha ha ha would sound like you're fucking or something in Spain (actually no but only because people knows english).
>>61178566
as in eksa-ksa-ksa-ksa-ksa? Damn sounds sinister indeed
>>61178761
Ben-Yehuda worked with Jews from Slavlands though
>>61178791
no need to call me god, pan is more than enough
>>61178566
Actually I believed it sounded like cha cha cha, which is a kind of dance here, so it was a nice laugh.
>>61178867
Has there ever been a serious proposal to remove the letter all together?
>>61178884
so? Jew from Poland =/= Polish speaker
>>61177740
The same used to be the case in English where Thou was the second person singular and You the plural. People then started using You as a more formal way adressing people while Thou was reserved for informal use only (like modern day tu/vous in French) untill Thou eventually fell completely out of use (except in a few dialects) in favour of singular You. So now people need to use You Guys/You People/Y'all when they need to stress that they're talking to a group of people instead of one single person.
The same development has happened in other languages, sometimes multiple times in a row
>>61178960
Why would we do that?
>>61178986
yeah I'm sure he spoke Pashto
>>61178884

I wish you'd just sink into the sea so we have a nice coastline already

ever heard of this little thing called Yiddish?
>words have genders
>usually, you cant change the order of words (like in english it must be subject+verb+object)
>x is actually a rough "h" in ex-soviets
>rules doesnt affect the whole words. there are some "irregular" words (come--->came not comed)
like in english
you have to GUESS the pronounce of written words WTF? WHATS THE POINT OF WRITING THEN????
>>61179043
Becuase it serves no purpose. Mute letters in most other languages still change the sound of the letters before or after, and/or produce sound in some words
>>61178960
There was a venezuelan linguist named Andrés Bello who set up a spelling reform which eliminated the silent H amongst other things and it was sorta popular in Latin-America for a short while ages ago
>>61178960
What is Etymology, friendo?
>>61179229
H is necessary in words like ahora. It also shows words where pronunced as "f" in the past like hierro which can be useful because there's related words like ferroso.
>>61178319
It's you who mixed up Greek χ and ξ, not us
>>61173969
>the pronoun for he/she in Chinese is the same pronunciation but with different characters
>knowing whether the subject is for a male or female is contextual
>>61178761
>four slav-born PMs
>guy who revived the language was a slav and worked with slavs
>>61179820
>Slav-born
'slav' is not a place, nor does being born in a Poland a Slav, funny how you people count Jews as one of the people only when it suits your argument.
>guy who revived the language was a slav and worked with slavs
so what, dipshit? their first language was Yiddish, a GERMANIC language
and some did speak Polish, that however does not make Hebrew Polish
He didn't implent Ashkenazi pronunciation into Hebrew, otherwise you'd have 7 seven vowels and not 5, and you'd see the High Germanic Consonant shift take effect in Hebrew
>>61178186
It always makes me smile when non-natives complain about the unstressed "o", while almost every vowel reduces to shit when it's not stressed or pretonic.
>>61178319
