Tell me what they share beside some vocabulary because I can't think of any.

>>61463054
>>"They are literally nothing outside of 30% of the vocabulary"
30% of that vocabulary is hardly used. The most commonly used words in everyday speech and what children learn as they grow up are Anglo-Saxon and Germanic.

Nah, the secession of the United States gave the British the wakeup call they needed to go on and found their second empire. Meanwhile, you still got to trade on good terms with us and we became best bros during the Great Rapprochement.

But the British take American culture and often improve on it and make it better - see music. Both will borrow from eachother and have done for decades. Whereas France is lagging behind and just gets overshadowed and stomped on.

I now, you fuckwit (at least, I knew about german), but the frenchanon said it like dative and accusative where a common thing between french and english. So I thought he was talking about things like pronouns, which actually make some distinction between what would be nominative case and dative.

British culture and American culture are similar enough that they can coexist peacefully. The revolution in America is seen by most British historians nowadays as a return to more traditional English values that Britain followed up on after the end of George III's reign.

Scandinavians came and cucked you then cucked the English. Nothing more. Yet you bang on about it like the French conquered Britain

Normans were already Frenchified by then
>>61462409
eww, no it isn't.
>>61463939
So you say. What does that mean? They were Scandinavians and they were fighting a Scandinavian war that had gone on for a long time. Face it you shitty little franks are just cuckholds
>>61463906
Memes appart I think it makes sense, after all we put spaces between words and the question mark/exclamation point isn't part of the last word so why the fuck would you stick it to it ?
>>61463913
I didn't, you are the one who mentionned Normans fore some reason
Which doesn't change the fact most of military/warfare English words are French, no matter how hard you try

We put spaces between words because they're all made up of letters and couldn't be easily distinguished if there weren't spaces.

Both are valid imo, but I'll always find it clearer with a space

He's lying. The French lie about everything. Medieval French didn't view Normans as their peers even decades after the conquest of Britain. The Normans being "French" is a modern revision by French propagandists.

We took it from the Arabic and they took it from our Frenchified version, that's how language works
>>61464196
At which year ? Because the Normans had more than 200 years to Frenchify themselves, sure they weren't seen as French after a couple years but after 2 centuries I don't know
>>61464215
>Admiral comes from Arabic.
So it IS a French word.

Yeah obviously we have shit tons of words of Latin origin, but the Latin language itself comes from older speeches, and so on. It's pretty dumb to say "it's not French because it comes from an older words", with that logic we were all cucked by Indo-European language and none of us speak their own language

>>61464479

>>61464424
>It's pretty dumb to say "it's not French because it comes from an older words"

>>61464538

You're the one drawing an arbitrary line. The fact is that the root of the word is not french
>>61464519
>Norwegian in charge of not being mad
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one not taking this place too seriously
Yeah I made a mistake and should have said "of French origin", and you made literally the same one by saying "Amiral" wasn't French but Arabic.
>>61464595
Aaaand ? Are we going to go bakc to first language ever spoken on Earth like this ?
>>61464538
I know that, it doesn't change my point. If you or the Bongs can't fix the orthography of the fucking global language, then it looks even funnier to see Anglos talking shit about other language's writing peculiarities.

Because norwegians are devoted dogs.
>>61464647
If you like :^)
>>61464685
I don't like anything anymore
>>61464424
But in that case, why are the words specifically French? The stuff we borrowed has changed in usage and formation over the past 1000 years to be English. If French Latinate words aren't really Latin then why are the French-derived words in English French? Many of the words that originally come from French are used completely differently now and some don't even exist in Modern French at all.
Or to use your own words against you:
>It's pretty dumb to say "it's not English because it comes from an older words"
>>61464727
I win then
>>61464678
>Because norwegians are devoted dogs.

>>61464595
>How is it a noun if its "the process or activity"?
It's called a gerund (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerund), Ausbro. You guys and the Brits really need to go back to formally teaching grammar :(
>>61464835
Why is English so fucking mental?
>>61464895
lol m8.
Even I know the difference between the sentences "This is spelling of a word", and "I am spelling this word correctly".
It's literally the same as using the word "drink" as a noun or as a verb.
>>61464895
It's not that strange. Gerund forms exist in other languages too. It's just that (apparently) they don't teach traditional grammar in Australian and British schools anymore, so you don't get a proper grasp on all the structures. I was pretty shocked when I found out about that because even the poorest, most redneck schools here in the US heavily emphasize grammar.
>>61464987
I just speak the shit mate. I forgot all the stuff they taught me about how it works. I was singled out for special tutelage in English at one point too :/
Can't even fucking spell now
>>61465037
We learned stuff in school. Not sure I have ever heard of a gerund before though
>>61465074
Did you guys diagram sentences?
>>61465121
I don't believe so.
Why do they teach you all that stuff the tell you to write "Mom" and speak herb as if you are french though
>>61465171
Because that was a normal regional variation in England when the first settlers showed up here. We just maintained the regional usages that were common in the parts of England that Americans typically came from.
RP didn't come about until the early 20th century and its origins are in the way 19th century southern English aristocrats spoke. America standardized its version of the language a bit earlier on (with Webster) to distinguish ourselves from the Brits.

Sorry I get them all confused. I meant Charles is unpopular and William is the one wanted on the throne. The monarchy isn't a huge deal over here and only really supreme Angloboos bother to keep up with it.
And yeah, he's next in line, but everyone thinks he's going to abdicate anyway and just pass it on to his son. He's a bit old to be assuming the crown at this point.

>>61466041
It's not 'foreigner' punctuation because it's not your language. You're the foreign one here and your punctuation is foreign to the language. Every style guide in the Anglophone world requires that there be no space between the end of a word and a punctuation mark.

>>61466464
>Was he famous before
He's one of the most famous black metal musicians of all time, so I would say so, yes. He was of course very famous in Norway because he burned down old and significant churhces then kept getting rearrested whenever he was out on probation.
I don't know why he killed his friend, some say it was over money, some say it was self-defense, some say ideology (his friend was very into Hoxha).
He did burn the churches because of WE WUZ bullshit, yes.
>>61466561
That's fucking stupid. WE WUS is all very good but old churches are very nice and are a part of the culture. We don't really have any nice stuff like that down here but some abo burning them down for the rainbow serpent or whatever would not be appreciated.
He seems a bit rough but I wouldn't have thought that he would kill someone.
What is Hoxha?
>>61466525
ty am reading it now
>>61466776
Enver Hoxha was the leader of communist Albania from 1944 to 1985.
Well obviously he has conviction, the churches are meaningless to him.
And killing someone is a huge part of WHY he's famous tbqhwy
>>61466901
He seems pretty nice when he's with his kids though man. I thought he was just a slightly eccentric guy banging on about the brexit (how I found him through /int/) and talking about brejvik. He seemed kinda based on his ideas on capitalisim too
Does he do much than post on youtube these days?
>>61467001
Not that I know of, he seems to just be a family man (possibly preparing for happening) enjoying his life in the french countryside and posting to youtube and his website.
>>61467153
Its nice he had a happily ever after. Sounds like he killed this dude in cold blood though. Even by his own account
kek at his description and saying that he didn't kill a fellow Norwegian though
"Euronymous was actually Lappish, as can be clearly seen from the pictures of him. His Lappish (Mongolian) facial features are very visible,"
>>61467153
He's going to finally get to live like a viking once civilization collapses. You'll see.
>>61467284
He did.
He's served his time though.
>>61467356
That's how it is.
He says that he would rather be in a dungeon like prison like the old prisons that he served in than the modern ones like Brejevik is in. Says the isolation is torture.
Also says they torture Brejevik. Did you hear anything about this?
I think maybe if I saw him I would give him a kick but I wouldn't torture him. Man's obviously fucked in the head. Why not go to England and shoot up a load of ethnics if you want white people to be top dog. I mean we already are ! what's this nutcase banging on about
