The worrying thing about this (apart from the fact it made my eyeballs bleed :L) is how true that is. Learning the basics is easy enough, but Finnish has 15 cases to learn and lots of irregular contractions of verbs and whatnot. Fun language to learn mindHarvestmanMan wrote:I hear that it's easy to get into but hard to Finnish.Grimnir wrote:Thanks for reminding me that I should finally start learning Finnish

^ Probably still more sensible than English. XD
I love the interpretation of Pac-Man where he's a just a lowly worker retrieving golf balls left all over the course by the rich masters and the ghosts are all previous workers who got conked on the head and killed by incoming golf balls in the line of duty.

Basically. American English has rules like "'Ch' inconsistently sounds like 'sh' sometimes but not all the time for no apparent reason than fuck it, we said so!" XDAaronIsCrunchy wrote:Haha, at least Finnish is logical!Potato wrote:^ Probably still more sensible than English. XD

Even as a native English speaker, I absolutely can't stand the language. So impractical.Potato wrote:Basically.

The general rule (not limited to the American variant, either) is that the word is spelled and pronounced as it was in the language we stole it from, as near as is practical.Potato wrote:Basically.

Yeah, I guess we kind of deserve it. Not content with one language group, we just took the bits that sounded nice (probably) and then wondered about the potential ramifications later. A bit like being English anyway, really.Comrade wrote:Thats what you get for mixing old German, Norman, Celtic, Norse and Latin...

But if you think English is messed up, what would you think of dutch, which is a mixture of English, East Norse and German.

Dutch is a lot of fun to learn really Still has a lot of German sensibilities though, but there were a couple of historical changes that didn't happen to Dutch and English that separates the two.
