I know "An" means "The", so that makes sense

2017-08-14 11:36:13 UTC  

Kryplywy is the original but since we moved to the continent of America it "latinised"

2017-08-14 11:36:18 UTC  

Yeah

2017-08-14 11:36:27 UTC  

Literally "the maonach/anglicised"

2017-08-14 11:36:28 UTC  

I've learned a tiny bit of Irish

2017-08-14 11:36:35 UTC  

Absolute tiny bit

2017-08-14 11:36:38 UTC  

Most changed because "OH NO WE ARE GOIN TO BE PERSECUTED"

2017-08-14 11:36:41 UTC  

Because holy shit how even?

2017-08-14 11:36:54 UTC  

Irish is very difficult, it split from English thousands of years ago

2017-08-14 11:36:58 UTC  

How do you even hold a conversation in Irish?

2017-08-14 11:37:01 UTC  

For example there isn't even a word for yes or no

2017-08-14 11:37:10 UTC  

With great difficulty, it requires changing how you think

2017-08-14 11:37:18 UTC  

I was fluent once but I've slipped into mediocrity

2017-08-14 11:37:24 UTC  

And I thought Welsh was weird for having multiple words for "yes" but not one for "No"

2017-08-14 11:37:37 UTC  

It's different in celtic languages

2017-08-14 11:37:40 UTC  

You answer with the topic

2017-08-14 11:37:42 UTC  

No in Welsh would be "Not Yes"

2017-08-14 11:38:03 UTC  

So if I ask you if you walked, the answer would be "I walked" or "I didn't walk"

2017-08-14 11:38:05 UTC  

For yes/no

2017-08-14 11:38:15 UTC  

Ah

2017-08-14 11:38:34 UTC  

The only real form of yes or no is for the more permanent form of the verb to be or to exist, which indicates something is permanently or isn't permanently a way

2017-08-14 11:38:46 UTC  

It's good to be bilingual though

2017-08-14 11:38:54 UTC  

NL is netherlands?

2017-08-14 11:39:00 UTC  

Yeah

2017-08-14 11:39:07 UTC  

🇳🇱

2017-08-14 11:39:32 UTC  

Soon

2017-08-14 11:39:53 UTC  

I know Dutch, English, enough German to understand and read it, a tad bit of Swedish, I can read Russian, know a tiny bit of Japanese, a little bit of Irish and a very tiny bit of Persian

2017-08-14 11:40:15 UTC  

#AnnexBelgium

2017-08-14 11:40:15 UTC  

Dutch is easy to comprehend even though I don't speak it

2017-08-14 11:40:19 UTC  

Ha

2017-08-14 11:40:20 UTC  

HAHA

2017-08-14 11:40:33 UTC  

I fucking hate all the grammatical rules to Dutch

2017-08-14 11:40:42 UTC  

Most near germanic languages are comprehendable in the most basic sense if you're not sub 90 iq

2017-08-14 11:40:47 UTC  

I always fared mediocre in grammar tests

2017-08-14 11:40:55 UTC  

I've a skill for languages

2017-08-14 11:41:04 UTC  

Just so many fucking rules that cancel eachother out

2017-08-14 11:41:15 UTC  

You're better off playing Yu-gi-yoh blindfolded

2017-08-14 11:41:34 UTC  

I've no desire to learn a language other than having the two I already have

2017-08-14 11:41:46 UTC  

English is the best language in terms of practicality, the biggest set of words

2017-08-14 11:41:46 UTC  

dude dutch is easy

2017-08-14 11:41:56 UTC  

if you know english and german + another germanic language
