hehehe

We only have 70. But if you want to add the pronouns (equivalent to myself,yourself,himself,itself, etc)

you'd have to multiply the number of pronouns (there's like 12 or so) by 70.

I imagine most romance languages have the same problem. Maybe not with the pronoun thing.

That bug has been fixed in the Swiss and Belgian patches, though. Frogs are dealing with legacy issues.

>>66705493

They define the word's relation to everything else

Pöytä = table
Pöydällä = on the table
Pöydästä = from the table

pöydät, pöydältä, pöydiltä = the same but plural.

>>66705867
Interesting. At what point does it differ from just removing spaces, though?

>>66706128
it's just a sound gender, it's usually strictly passed down from masc/fem names

ie. if a noun sounds like a male

Our colonies didn't break apart, so we don't make the count:

8. Macau
9. East-Timor

Galician counts, right?

>>66706128
If it's any consolation, its mostly of what agrees with the last letter of the word or sounds better. Shit, different words for the same thing don't always agree in gender with each other.

the mayans and muiscans used 20

base 12 is used in nepal, nigeria and india

babylonians used 60

papua new guinean tribes use 15. 18, 27, or 36 base systems

and the list goes on...

some communities (underdeveloped ones) have a 1, 2, many system.

as in: any number above 2 is undefined, they just say "many"

weird stuff pêh

Pretty great.

Retconning it all we should've been using this system instead. Same for tau instead of pi. Shit makes no sense.

>his language doesn't have a fixed word order in sentences.

our verbs only have a few forms.
We have present and past and perfective
The basic form
The asking someone to do something form
And some passive forms that are difficult to count

å spille (to play)
spiller (play (present))
spilte (played)
[har] spilt ([has] played)

spill! (play!)

å spilles (to be played)
spilles (is being played)
spiltes (was being played)
[har] spiltes (has been played)
The four last ones are passives, but they are difficult to count because it changes between the words if they have different forms, and some may or may not be non-standard, and great variation between dialects, and other difficulties. Let's just say 1.

so norwegian has at least 6 forms of verbs.

If you include more dialects too, you can find difference between singular and plural, and possibly even some forms for non-real states (or something, I don't know how this works)

>>66707412
>>66707446

it's esperanto.

ability to make up words is very high, though not unlimited I guess since after 100 years there are a few "customary" compound words that are more common than the on-the-fly ones beginners make up, but they will still be easily understood

>>66707817
It's good to be able to move the words around a bit. It created better flow in the sentence when you can put the relevant part first, the part that presents what you are about to talk about. One of the things I like about Norwegian is our somewhat, kind of free word order.

Good fucking luck learning spanish

>>66708623
that felt really weird learning french in high school

they care a lot about the gender of nouns in a sentence yet when it comes to personal pronouns it's just "son" "sa" or "ses" depending on the noun that comes after it.

At first I thought "sa" meant "hers", "son" meant "his" and "ses" meant their

I wonder for which percentage of words/cognates the genders correspond between west and north germanic languages
