Absolute tiny bit
Most changed because "OH NO WE ARE GOIN TO BE PERSECUTED"
Because holy shit how even?
Irish is very difficult, it split from English thousands of years ago
How do you even hold a conversation in Irish?
For example there isn't even a word for yes or no
With great difficulty, it requires changing how you think
I was fluent once but I've slipped into mediocrity
And I thought Welsh was weird for having multiple words for "yes" but not one for "No"
It's different in celtic languages
You answer with the topic
No in Welsh would be "Not Yes"
So if I ask you if you walked, the answer would be "I walked" or "I didn't walk"
For yes/no
Ah
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
It's good to be bilingual though
NL is netherlands?
Yeah
🇳🇱
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

Dutch is easy to comprehend even though I don't speak it
Ha
HAHA
I fucking hate all the grammatical rules to Dutch
Most near germanic languages are comprehendable in the most basic sense if you're not sub 90 iq
I always fared mediocre in grammar tests
I've a skill for languages
Just so many fucking rules that cancel eachother out
You're better off playing Yu-gi-yoh blindfolded
I've no desire to learn a language other than having the two I already have
English is the best language in terms of practicality, the biggest set of words
dude dutch is easy
if you know english and german + another germanic language
you barely need to work on grammar
I'm born in the Netherlands, first language, but goddamn are all those grammar rules a fucking pain
i think dutch is a nice language
English has developed to become my best language, because it's much easier to comprehend
tbh i like most european languages
