so what language you tried to learn
>>61254961
japanisu obviously
I studied 3 romance languages and 2 non romance languages (one of them in progress), I don't think it's so hard, and I like them more
>>61254898
Thanks, senpai

Polish, actually. Don't question my reasons please, it's a long story.
Also, sorry for the late response. I was doing something else.

>picking a disgusting mongrel slav languages over the glorious Hungarian
For what purpose? They don't even use vowels in their languages for Chirst's sake. Prsckzlyw kyszstlkw wlnslv that's how they sound like.
>>61257873
Hungarian doesn't have many resources.
>>61257983
okay, that's valid criticism. Still! I for one do think our language sounds better than most slavic languages- minus Russian.
Russian sounds fucking badass.
>>61254670
Exactly the reason I'm trying to vary the languages I learn. I'm taking Hebrew and Japanese, which are about as different as you can get.
>>61254791
Here you go:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1UZqD4w2Ns1
>A
example word: Mamma, swedish loanword for mother
>Ä
example word: mämmi, rye pudding and traditional easter food. Also a funi mene
>O
example word: kokko, bonfire.
A tongue twister: Kokko, kokoo koko kokko kokoon! Koko kokkoko? Koko kokko!
>Ö
example word: mömmö, does not have a specific meaning but can mean any stuff that is sticky, dirty or otherwise goo-like. Like porridge, motor oil or grease in a cattle
>>61259031
Niiice. Very similar to Hungarian.
Can you pronounce the rest of our vowels?
>>61259169
what's the difference between ü and ű?
>>61259253
the stuff above the u
>>61256919
>>61257145
OH SHIT PEOPLE WHAT ARE YOU DOING
>>61259253
Hungarians have separate diacritics for long vowels rather than writing them twice like in Finnish.
ű = üü
>>61259439
co to kurwa jest?
>>61259169
Here are all the finnish vowels + one swedish vowel (Å) which we are forced to learn yet since the teachers don't know how to say it nobody knows how it differs from the regular O
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1OB17lWeFJp
A E I O U Y Ä Ö + Å
>>61259253
Not much. The latter is just said on a lower voice, with more emphasis I think.

>>61259617
how strange! Don't you have i and e sounds? é perhaps?
>>61259444
So hungarian á = finnish aa?
cool, didn't know this
>>61259684
We don't have any diacritics in finnish, I first saw them when I took a french class at age 11
>>61259590
>szczebrzeszyn
znam
to tam chrzaszcz brzmi w trzcinie zbsz
>>61259031
Thanks finnbro
>>61259919
>zbsz
i-is this a real word?
>>61259590
>hurt your tongue using polish consonants
are anglos really this shit for learning languages or just retarded?
>>61259590
>>61259919
Why can't you fuckers just use diacritics like all the other slavs?
romance languages are really the only languages you need since china's not going to take over the world
>>61259986
they do, though
ł, ż, ą, etc.
>>61259969
I didn't make the pic and I know very little about Polish so I don't really know what you or the pic are talking about.
>>61259919
>brzmi w trzcinie zbsz
>zbsz
A word with no vowels, I just can't comprehend slavic languages
>learning Polish
>>61259966
>>61260082
ok, i cheated a little
żbsz is just our desu for /polska/ purposes (żeby być szczerym)
>>61260218
You scared me for a second
But are there actual polish words completely without vowels?
>>61260218
2bh*
you get the idea
Can we unban the chinks?
Its not fair that they cant post here for me.
>>61260277
Some prepositions don't have vowels. I don't know about nouns and shit.
I'm OP by the way.
>>61260277
well,
w is a word by itself, and so is z.
also, theres the pst interjection, and the brr onomatopoeia
>>61260403
>>61260484
>one letter words
whats going on, yall need some Ukko and uralic vowelry
Take for example the word hääyöaie, clean word of hard consonants, even the h is just an outbreath. Such a beautiful word to read, say and listen to
>>61255045
Like it's something bad.
>>61260654
>hääyöaie
Doesn't that break the vowel harmony?
>>61260899
It does, then again it's a compound word and there are other words, not compound words, that break vowel harmony as well. Like for example "tällainen".
t. not >>61260654
>Slavic languages are harder for me to learn than those similar to my native tongue
insightful thread, thanks for sharing
>>61260999
you speak a Slavic language too right?
>>61260899
you can break the word to three parts, which don't break the vowel harmony as they are:
Hää yö aie
>>61260654
>hääyöaie
>>61260999
That was not the point, I was taking language learning for granted because I had only learned languages very similar to my own.
But no, you're right, we should have more "easter?" threads instead. Those are the ones I live for.
>>61257301
He even uses different colours.
>>61261423
I'm starting to question if "he" is truly a "he"
Either way I'd study Polish with him/her
>>61260218
Zawsze myślałem ze zbsz odnosi się do tej żaby zielonej z mema.
żabisz
>>61261252
Hojaje tak to się wymawia. To a z takim czyms nad sobą wymawia się zazwyczaj jak o
a tamto o jako a
>>61259813
Finnish does have diacritics. The letter Ä has a diacritic, in this case a diæresis .
>>61261494
His # jego
her # jej
he # on
She # ona
it # ono/to
>>61257145
Cześć - Hi
do jutra - See you tomorrow
Dobranoc - good night
>>61254670
大丈夫ですか?
>>61261946
I know the pronouns, it gets really complicated when you add cases on top of that though. Mnie, tobie, etc.
>>61262085
If you will have some questions i will be tomorrow in v4.
>>61262131
I don't really go on /v4/, but I might bring my questions there if I have any, hope I don't annoy anyone.
Thanks polanon.
