Why do Americans find English difficult?
it's not their fault, it's their education
>>62273362
I know that slang too...
>>62273362
>Ice = Jewerly
I give up.
>>62273362
>Notas
Is that French or Spanish?
>>62273492
this
It's really not.
>>62273362
That's black/urban youth slang
Normal people don't talk like that, at least the ones I prefer to be around don't
>>62273362
lmao this fäm
>>62273362
>cum on your phone
>>62273676
This. Modern slang is utter shit and I'm not even saying this as an autistic weeb, Slang has formed our language for years, but some of these, like ice, doesn't even make sense, in any fucking way.
>why do Americans use slang
Idk man we're just unique like that
>>62273362
FINNA :D
>>62273676
>>62273826
Ice is typically only used to refer to diamond jewellery because of the resemblance of diamonds to ice.
>>62273826
>Slang has formed our language for years, but some of these, like ice, doesn't even make sense, in any fucking way.
>these damned whippersnappers, how dare they change our language
>I'll have you know, back in MY time...
Gtfo grandpa, you belong in the stone age
>>62273826
What's an iced out chain
Grandpa stop trying and go back to ur rocker
>>62273826
I told this to an american-portuguese and he replied me with "don't talk about a culture you don't know about u fucking ignorant!!!"
BABA BOOEY
>>62274042
You literally know nothing about the culture though
>yes I do I watch your movies I saw straight outta Compton!
>>62273905
I was more referring to the Jewerly bit but Ice still sounds daft.
>>62273362
>Ice = Jewelry
Never heard that one before.
At least it's not as bad as Mexicunts. They think having bad spelling on purpose is "funny". Fuck those retards.
>>62273753
Spanish.
>>62273964
I'm progressive as hell, if there's any logic behind the progress. People are free to use the language they want, but that doesn't mean it can't be deemed shit by others.
>>62273905
Ah, I see, so there's at least some logic to it, although miniscule and will fade, if the slang hang on.
>>62273826
What's an iced out watch/chain
Grandpa stop trying and go back to ur rocker
>>62273362
Smh OP finna catch these hands talkin bout that bullshit. fuck outta here
>>62274017
>>62274181
What did you mean by this?
We got slang too.

Helsinki slang, i dont really know what the fuck is up with it. I'd guess fennoswedes.
>>62273362
>mfw an American mentions that he "doesn't have an accent"
>>62274140
>implying nigger and hipster slangs is """culture"""
>>62273362
Only blacks and Mexicans use these, I have literally never heard a white or Asian use them.
> implying there's an incorrect way to communicate
Sure, if you're writing an article or doing a school assignment you should use proper English. Otherwise, say whatever you want.
> I'm finna hit up da sto'
Gets the point across just as well as
> I'm going to go to the market
Just like you say wicked or cool or hella. Just like you say pop or soda. Just like you say shit and fuck and cuck. It's all English and there's literally nothing wrong with it.
>>62274421
I don't have an a accent everyone else does
>>62274538
Wiggers and rice boys talk like that too.
>>62274553
Shit bro, ur rng n gudsms jus s gd 4 tkng
>>62274553
>> I'm finna hit up da sto'
that ain't english lol
>>62274553
>> I'm finna hit up da sto'
>Gets the point across just as well as
No, I thought it meant "I'm about to hit that hoe"
lel, it just proves my point, slang like that is only viable within certain social groups. You need to use proper English when communicating with people, who aren't familiar with such language.
>>62273362
With the exception of maybe the first one, only blacks say these.
>>62274702
if you want to get academic about it, it's literally a dialect
i think it's stupid but it's definitely an english dialect.
>>62274670
Totally missed the point. 0/10
>>62274628
Aye mane the fuck u talking about imma bust one on ya mums then hit up dis fuckboi who be tyrnna run shit but he dust an hypebeast. Mufugga gunna be at da crossroads tonight. U know wat I be sayin bruv
>>62274771
Ebonics are an argot (language of criminals).
>>62273362
>Finna bust a nut tonight
>>62274428
It unironically is no matter how butthurt it makes you
Stupid fucking turk
>>62274871
kinda true but i know normal people that speak like that around other ppl and i can understand it perfectly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIW2H-wgC54
^^ i can understand the intro to this song perfectly kek
>>62273492
no, it is their fault
I've heard that education there isn't too bad but people just won't fucking pay attention
>>62274628
Wannabe niggers are still niggers.
German slang
>einen bauen (to construct one): to roll a joint
>steiler Zahn (steep tooth): hot girl
>Sit-in: A party with less than ten or so people, where there's enough room for everyone to sit and talk to each other
>einen auf den (one on top of that one): I'm sure this is not going to happen
>jabbern: to take, to steal, to eat
>ein Snickers aus dem Rücken drücken (to press a snickers out of one's back): to take a shit
>Gerstenkaltschale (chilled barley soup): beer
>abgefahren (driven off): very good
>>62275009
people who literally can't speak or write in proper english definitely were failed by the education system here.
pro tip if you are from a bad part of detroit you can graduate high school illiterate,
>>62275009
this, so much this
>>62274702
>>62274743
> I speak proper English and can't understand slang
Well of course you can't if you've never heard it before. Yes, it's a social thing. Yes, it does get the point across just as well if you're within that social group.
Seems like there are a lot of people here who have never watched Steven Pinker explain language.
I love language because of what I've said. Language is not 2+2=4, it's whatever you want it to be, and it shapes who you are and shows where you come from. Anyone who doesn't understand that has yet to fully appreciate language. Faggots.
>>62274952
Wasn't hard to understand
>>62275114
yea no shit, youre american
>>62274017
Black brother here, an iced-out chain is a chain with a ton of diamonds on it and often costing six-figures.
>>62275114
Your American dumbass, no shit.
That song was pretty lit tho

Ridicule new slang words while using slang words that are so engrained into today's usage they don't even register
>>62274952
>Nigga
>Goddamn
>Shit
>Smokin'
>Police
>Hood
>Yo' ass
Only first minute, didn't bother listening to the rest but those are the only words I understood.
I swear I don't hate black people, they are chill and funny but goddamn why do they speak like they have some disability?
>>62275583
>why do they speak like they have some disability?
Wonder the same about Mexicans 2bh
Ay. Yo, imma finna tell ya somethan
>>62275583
Because their parents spoke like that, and their grandparents spoke like that, and their great grandparents spoke like that, and their...
0 education, this is what happens when a language is not in any way standardized or regulated. Personally, I like what they've created, not because it isn't inferior, but because the changes that occur in an unrestricted environment like that interest me.
>if you ain't talking 'bout no money homeboy don't waste my time
>>62275791
Hol up
Smacks lips
So u is sayin
>>62275780
That's only true for poor areas. Sadly I live in one of those shitholes.
Did you mean when Mexicunts speak English? Then yes. I've never met anyone whose English pronunciation wasn't complete shit.
Excluding me, my pronunciation isn't that bad.
>>62275915
record voice please
>>62273362
It's even funnier with a Californian accent.
>Absolutely no privacy in my house
>Record voice for anon
>"Son who are you talking to?"
>I'm posting on 4Chan dad
Yeah... Maybe some other time. I shouldn't have bragged about it.
>>62273362
That's not American it's niggerspeak
>>62276106
You give way too many fucks about what people think of you.
>>62275798
This
It's fucking trashy and ghetto a lot of the time but blacks being isolated from the rest of society has created a unique culture and started lots of new interesting trends
>>62276106
I just realized I didn't quote the post.

>>62277258
Yes I do.

>it shapes who you are and shows where you come from.
