Why didn't life forms evolve "simpler" over time? Because things don't go in linear, predictable direction.
Things that change, change to occupy the space around it, whether that means animal specialisation, or why you can't seem to save more money when you get a higher paying job.
There is some evidence that language structures are cyclical in nature, though. Also, complicated and irregular is often a feature of languages, to distinguish in-groups from out-groups. All that tribal shit, gnome sayin'?

To be honest when your talking about case/gender/tense, the easiest language is mandarin chinese. It has none of those features, and despite the difficulty in the character representation and lack of an alphabet as we understand it, the grammar is very simple. In that sense it has advantages. The disadvantages relate more to the homophonic nature of mandarin and its prevalent use of idiomatic phrases.

Japanese verb conjugation isn't decided by gender, number, first/second/third person.
In addition, nouns never change.

Although Japanese verb conjugation is unaffected by those factors, it's still got some pretty weird cases. Let's take a simple 五段 verb, like 釣る, and look at some (relative to other languages) odd conjugations:
>釣る ・ It's catching/will catch
>釣って ・ It's catching/will catch (and there's more information to come)
>釣らせられる ・ It caused itself to be caught
That last one confuses the heck out of non-native speakers lol.

That doesn't necessary make vocative a case but rather just a special noun form which is what some linguists claim. Their argument is that vocative expressions are not syntactically connected to other words in sentence, thus making vocative just a special noun form.
Anyway, I find it interesting. Do all Slavic languages have 7 cases?

It's not the meaning which is confusing exactly, but merely because it is expressed so differently from in English.
>I'm forced to scrub the toilet.
This is a normal English sentence.
>僕はトイレを擦らせられる。
This is a normal Japanese sentence, accurately translated from the English sentence above (I think; please correct me if my Japanese is wrong :D). The issue is, if literally translated back into English, it's a very odd.
>I am caused to be scrubbing the toilet.
It's not that outrageously strange, but it can lead to quite a bit of confusion and clunky sentence-making by learners of the language.

And these phrases consist of やる(五段verb)+せる(auxiliary verb)+られる(auxiliary verb) all of them are change to comply with grammar.
Japanese has less inanimate subject sentence than English.
The way to grasp things and express differs from languages but the languages have already preposition or particles, almost no need to use declension.

you should memorize it as a phrase/an idiom. that expression "させられる" is used as "be forced to do" in most cases. its because this "させ" in this context is a ”する"'s change. 食べさせられる、入れさせられる、閉めさせられる、行かせられる、 all mean "be forced to do." also 僕はトイレを擦らせられる and 僕はトイレを擦らさせられる are the same meaning. "させられる" sounds more decent though.
the others are almost all about passive and "be able to" its random but for instance,
”俺は蹴られた"=" i was kicked". ”食べられる物"="an eatable thing", "それは食べられるよ" "thats eatable" or "thats a thing you can eat." 殺される = get killed 晒される = be exposed/dox'd あなたはそれに触れられる = you can touch it 触れられる物 = a touchable thing.

A huge problem in portuguese that in Brazil we use a lot third person to talk with someone, in

That make their Portuguese simpler, because we use second and third person, and there is usually only second person

Tell me, do you sometimes say "I eat a fork" instead of "I eat with a fork"? No? Then why would you expect people to not use the intrumentive case?

>They were (mas. plur.)
>They were (fem. plur.)
All of these for future tense, as well, but nothing at all for present tense. Example (copula appears in capital letters):
>הוא היה תלמיד פה (hu HAYA talmid po) = He was a student here.
>הוא תלמיד פה (hu talmid po) = He is a student here.
>הוא יהיה תלמיד פה (hu yihye talmid po) = He will be a student here.
The word הוא (hu), meaning "he," is technically unnecessary in the past and future tenses, but I've included it for emphasis.
Hebrew doesn't even have present tense verbs; they're actually adjectives/nouns. Example:
>הוא שמר (hu shamar) = He guarded.
>הוא שומר (hu shomer) = He is guarding. / He is a guard. / He is one that guards.
>הוא ישמור (hu yishmor) = He will guard.

Yeah, but in Norwegian, it feels at least more intuitive.
A girl is feminine, a cunt is feminine.
A boy is masculine, a dick is masculine.
A house is neuter, a car is neuter.

>the most streamlined and logical language
These two sentences communicate the exact same information. Ahem.
>אנחנו נגנן והם נגדנו
>We are against that group of females and that group of females is against us.

>In Russian, "eto babushka" is not the same as just "babushka".
Except that's wrong
>Russian doesn't have articles or the verb "to be".
Except that's wrong

I see you a lot
Are you actually studying this rigorously? I thought fluency was supposed to be impossible or something.
Hooyump
I love my language, it's simple,straightforward and works well with poem,music and whatever. Plus I can speak with my best neighbours, Norway and Finland!

Og det er lett for å lærer hvis du snakker engelsk.

The word order is very strict though, unless you ascend to poetry-levels of bending grammar rules, which sounds weird to every native German speaker
>>62064723
Still more flexible than in English though
