Primitive English language

I not too long ago started learning English and everything written or said in it seems to me so primitive, unlike in my mother tongue which is Russian. Here you cannot have genders, don't really have cases and as the result fixed word order which is a fucked up thing. You don't have normal regular diminutives, or have them only for nouns, for comparison we in russian have diminutive forms even for verbs(occasionally). And words themself in english have lots of different meanings. Everything relies on a context. In a nutshell it is rather disgrace but not a language as it should've been at least as i imagined it before getting started. So of course literature written originally in English and translated to Russian reads much better in Russian.

How do you say "Everyone in the world speaks English as their second language and no-one speaks Russian" in Russian?
>>
>>7690286
Why would that interest you since you can't understand Russian?
>>
Actually, don't bother translating it. Nobody will be able to understand it.

>And words themself in english have lots of different meanings. Everything relies on a context.
Are you arguing that literature written in a complex and nuanced language is somehow a bad thing?

Confirmed for pleb. Have fun reading shitty authors like Toystory, Danny, and Joust.

Nabokov chose to write in English. Enough said

he was a retard who spoke even english itself with such a hideous accent

>English has evolved beyond grammatical gender and case
>I not too long ago started learning English
>it's primitive
>I don't know how to modify word order in English
>diminutives aren't major enough in English
Look, Russian has some nice tools available, some of them not in English, but that argument goes both ways. You don't know English well enough to be saying these things.

I always knew English is a language de facto for degenerates

>Here you cannot have genders, don't really have cases and as the result fixed word order which is a fucked up thing.
Fixed declension, fixed order; all the same fixed.

>>7690282
So just go back to using Russian and ignore English then; none of us are forcing you to use it.

I have to agree there, OP. The Russian language is the best language there is. It's not only better than English (that's like beating up a baby seal), it's not only the queen of all the slavic languages but also of all the other living languages in Europe. And this is no chauvinism, this I tell you as someone whose native language is German and who also learnt English and French. But don't you hate on the English speakers too much. This will bring the American highschooler demographic blood to a boil and they will get a Kreislaufkollaps because they are so fat, because they have been stuffing their faces with Hamburgers instead of learning languages and reading books. You wouldn't want them to get a Kreislaufkollaps because of your thick heda and broad slavic soul.
Anyhow, here is a poem in prose by Turgenyev:
Bo дни coмнeний, вo дни тягocтных paздyмий o cyдьбaх мoeй poдины,- ты oдин мнe пoддepжкa и oпopa, o вeликий, мoгyчий, пpaвдивый и cвoбoдный pyccкий язык! He бyдь тeбя - кaк нe впacть в oтчaяниe пpи видe вceгo, чтo coвepшaeтcя дoмa? Ho нeльзя вepить, чтoбы тaкoй язык нe был дaн вeликoмy нapoдy!

Июнь 1882
Even Russian poetry in prose is better than anything ever written by an American.
>>
>>7690286
Doesn't that just underline OP's point?

Everyone speaks English because it's incredibly simple, you can learn it in a month if you really want to.

I agree with you that English is shit, but you've got to admit that Russian borrows alot of foreign words.

You're basically raping a beauty pageant winner and then complaining that her tears are making her ugly.

>>
>>7692601
that's because of Frysian actually. English really is closer to Dutch which is laag-Duits (low German)
>>
>>7692611
btw why do you use a before the word disgrace? Isn't that an uncountable word? And why don't you use it before such words as treason or fun?
>>
>>7692644
Or Plattdeutsch as we call it.
>>
>>7692647
Jau. Die sprechen angelsächsisch Platt.

I'd much rather lick my own anal than learn this basic language if i were russian

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>
>All those salty monolingual anglo tears

Russian is my native language too. But I think english is much better, it just feels better, it doesn't have unnecessary bullshit like genders and cases.
But that's just my opinion, фaмилия.
>>
>>7690282
See, you're learning formal English. We have grammatical tenses in common language that won't be formalized for another 100 years at least.
>>
>>7693093
>grammatical tenses
and what are those so called grammatical tenses of yours? enlighten me please
>>
>>7693093
>>7693723
i meant those that are deviant from formal ones
