Messer has Indo-European and Germanic roots.

Let me explain:
>germanic *mat- means "meal"
>germanic *sahs- means "short sword"
>so the West-Germanic composita (combination of those two words) is "matizsahsa".
Literally a meal-shortword. Just a short sword to cut your meal.

Languages evolve, so it changed from "matizsahsa" to "mezzirahs", "mezzer" and the final form "Messer".

Dutch is a joke language.
If you understand English and German, you can understand Dutch to a fair degree.

Here. I'm going to pull a random wikipedia article in Dutch and try to translate it.

"Een antimuon is het antideeltje van een muon.

Een antimuon is dus een elementair deeltje of subatomair deeltje, meer bepaald een lepton. Het heeft spin 1/2 en is dus een fermion."

I think it says:

"The antimuon is the antiparticle to the muon.

The antimuon is an elementary particle (something about leptons) and is thus a subatomic particle. It has a spin of 1/2 and is thus a fermion."

Very much so, in fact German retains some older Indo-European features that other Germanic, and other European languages, have lost. This is why German is more complex than romance languages or it's related Germanic languages.

english is romance with a few western germanic words sprinkled in. Very little scandi influence

>>66278731
we also use arm in the sense of:

"ach dat is een arme hond"

"oh, that is a poor dog"
>>
>>66283732
in this case you'd use stakkars/stakkarslig. fattig only means poor in the sense of money-less/impoverished.

we've got the word "stakker" for a fool, a bum or a tramp

>>
>>66284068
here "en stakker" means a helpless, pitiful person or creature.

it derives from old norse "stafkarl" (literally "Stabkerl" in German or "Staff/Rod guy" in English)

it would be "Stavkar" in modern Norwegian. that just made me realize that the word Kar in Norwegian (Old Norse Karl) is the same as Kerl in German and and Kerel in Dutch.

btw, the original meaning was beggar.

"Bloom" , "Loft" and "Nebula" are good examples of shifted meanings in English.
Bloom lost it sense to flower but survieved as the blooming part of the flower.
"Loft" is now "air", but if you want to enter the loft, you have to get above/in the air.
"Nebula" is now "fog" but has of a space fog.

>>
>>66285322
Yes, it is. I'm not sure if "Nebula" had the meaning of fog in English.
Nebula seems to be the optical effect and fog refers the moist effect it has.
German "feucht" - moist is its cognate and refers to that.
>>
>>66285750
German "Nebel" is not from latin "nebula" but both are from PIE "*nebh" - cloud
>>
>>66283732
Technically english is germanic according to the linguist's definition. And true, a lot of loanwords come from romance languages (french, latin) and greek. However, the majority of the everyday colloquial vocab is derived from scandi languages, probably primarily what we call norwegian today. Syntactically English also shares sentence structure with scandi languages, which unlike german and dutch, tends to place the object after the verb.

When it's clearly a norse language with a bit more romance words than Sweden.

There are some clear indicators how you can tell apart whether a word has entered English via North Germanic or West Germanic, and the vast majority have in the latter way
North and West Germanic have had different sound shifts. One example in which English has a "doublet" (word with same root entered via 2 different carrier languages) is "shirt" (West) vs "skirt" (North), also "garden" (North) vs "yard" (West) (that's a tricky one because one might first think the German "Garten" is closer to the former, but Anglo-Frisian has palatised the "g" to "y" in that position while other West and North Germanic dialects did not, so therefore we know the word must have come via North Germanic as it doesn't show said palatalisation - same with "give" which must be N Germanic too otherwise it would be something like *"yive")

Wrong.

Double wrong.

Look up the grammar.
Listen to a norwegian talk, (one who hasn't that faggy hippity hoppity Oslo accent).
The spelling might be different, but many words, with similar meaning, are almost pronounced exactly the same in Norwegian and English.

English also have the same grammatical structure as modern norse. While german have a few differences, some explained in thread.

Geordie here.

You know what I meant. It's not a indo-european language. Any similarities are due to loanwords from Swedish, latin/greek and English.

The core area of the Finnish languages lies within N Asia

Must've been West Germanic speaking too during that period, because before Viking invasions in the 8-9th (?) century or so, Old English showed no signs of North Germanic influence yet

Strange, I thought Proto-Uralic was in the west side of the Urals and spread from Volga to Eastern Estonia where Finnics had its urheimat.
>(and yes yes, inb4, IE languages have a good chunk in S Asia too)
Actually, the majority of the so-called Indo-"European" is spoken outside of Europe - even discounting the Americas. The majority of Uralic IS spoken in Europe, so funny how it is.

Maybe it's better if we call it Findo-EUralic and the other Indo-Eurabic?
>>
>>66305269
We call it "Indogermanisch" not because we're so high on our Germnic horse as some claim, but because the term originated to encompass the Westernmost (Germanic, spoken up to Iceland) and Easternmost (Indo-Aryan, spoken up to Bangladesh) languages (when the term was coined, the even more Eastern, but now extinct Tocharian wasn't known yet)
>>
>>66305412
Where does the term "germanic" even come from? Does it originate from the roman empire?
>>

>>
>>66305599
It's not completely known, probably some exonym brought up by the Romans who based it on whatever. We never called ourselves that originally, first we wuz Franks regionally, later on "deutsch" appeared from an old IE root meaning "of the people"

Seemed like a very Roman centric term to me which was applied on a wider group. I don't know if they ever used it as a personal name, but at least some Belgic tribes were very upfront about it (to distinguish themselves from their weaker Gallic neighbors).

In romanian, knife is "cutit".

My girlfriend teached me a bit danish. I know from my experience that the grammer is very very similar to German. And as soon as you start speaking it, you understand words just by pronouncing them and comparing similar words. English is much more different. Knife seems more like an exception.

The term Germanic originated in classical times when groups of tribes living in Lower, Upper, and Greater Germania were referred to using this label by Roman scribes. The Roman use of the term Germanic was not necessarily based upon language, but rather referred to the tribal groups and alliances that lived in the regions of modern-day Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, and which were considered to be less civilized and more physically hardened than the Celtic Gauls.
