sad

2019-12-07 11:16:47 UTC  

cause I posted a meme that consisted out of 7 pannels

2019-12-07 11:16:58 UTC  

bruh

2019-12-07 11:24:00 UTC  

yeah thats true

2019-12-07 11:24:15 UTC  

muslims are just radical centrists that's why they keep driving trucks into people groups

2019-12-07 11:39:31 UTC  

wait

2019-12-07 11:39:36 UTC  

czech doesnt have articles?

2019-12-07 11:41:00 UTC  

no

2019-12-07 11:41:20 UTC  

almost no slavic langs have articles

2019-12-07 11:41:56 UTC  

macedonian and bulgarian have them, but that's because of greek and possibly romanian

2019-12-07 11:43:36 UTC  

Another striking difference is the lack of immigration problem over at the Czechs

2019-12-07 11:44:06 UTC  

they usually throw foreigners they don't like out of windows

2019-12-07 11:44:36 UTC  

hol up
how many far east languages have articles?
there might be a fun correlation here

2019-12-07 11:45:11 UTC  

articles are a weird thing actually

2019-12-07 11:45:21 UTC  

from the little japanese i know it doesn't look like it has articles

2019-12-07 11:45:47 UTC  

far eastern languages have stuff like numerical classifiers, which are relatively similar i think

2019-12-07 11:45:47 UTC  

no idea about the others tho

2019-12-07 11:46:31 UTC  

enumeration in japanese is fustercluck, can confirm

2019-12-07 11:47:17 UTC  

you thought 3 syllabaries was the difficult part? you seen nothin' yet

2019-12-07 11:47:21 UTC  

ah yes, they also do weird stuff like marking the topic of the sentence

2019-12-07 11:47:40 UTC  

which does a very similar thing to the western articles

2019-12-07 11:47:56 UTC  

i'm actually having way more trouble with katakana than kanji

2019-12-07 11:48:15 UTC  

dunno man, that's pretty weird

2019-12-07 11:48:38 UTC  

Have you ever thought why 33, 22 but eleven

2019-12-07 11:49:27 UTC  

just be thankful you dont have to deal with german

2019-12-07 11:49:34 UTC  

german is a clusterfuck

2019-12-07 11:49:45 UTC  

i do have to deal with german

2019-12-07 11:50:00 UTC  

It's hard but if you want to read good research papers you just need to

2019-12-07 11:50:02 UTC  

and it's not that bad actually

2019-12-07 11:50:23 UTC  

> It's hard but if you want to read good research papers you just need to
yeah precisely

2019-12-07 11:50:32 UTC  

well, add two syllables to hiragana and katakana gets almost to 100% redundant, and my brain really doesn't like taking the scenic route for processing
also katakana contains the whole top 10 of linguistic abominations i've seen

2019-12-07 11:51:46 UTC  

ok weeb

2019-12-07 11:53:07 UTC  

you say weeb like it was a bad thing

2019-12-07 11:53:32 UTC  

it's annoying how interest in a language gets conflated with a lot of cultural things, like e.g. my buddy went on a japanese course and it was all anime watching girls, one liked to tear faces off of dolls

2019-12-07 11:54:02 UTC  

i went to study spanish and again, it was all spanish soap opera watching girls
