Written form and spoken form should be almost or exactly the same. French at least explicitly tells you in the written form. Much like if you are learning the Quranic Arabic.

How do you manage to learn genders? Does it make any sense to you or you just learn it by heart?

>>66888246
>and it's full of silent letters and bizarre chaining of words so it's not explicit.
Except it is, you mongloid.
In French, if you have "eaux", it's pronounced "oh". Yeah, it may seem silly, but it's always the same. When you see eaux, you pronounce it Oh. That's the definition of explicit. "fully and clearly expressed, leaves nothing implied".
In English, to get back to his example, you have flour pronounced like flower. But you have tour pronounced completely different. It's not explicit at all, it's completely random. There's no point to the letter combination, you might as well write it "flea" and claim it's pronounced like "flower" because it's so fucking random.

>>66888804
Yep, English grammar is the most retarded out there.

>>66888762
I know most of the more common nouns (chairs, the sun, etc) but for the more uncommon words the only way I can guess is if there's an e or ion at the end, that means the word is usually feminine and most others are masculine. It's impossible to speak French properly without knowing the genders, definitely one of the harder parts of the language

>>66888845
It's not retarded, it's just pragmatic and easy to learn. That's probably why English "won" against French.

It's them Latins and Christians fault.
Germanic languages a perfectly suited script the "futhark" .
But the Christians forced the Latin script and Christian beliefs onto the people.
So we had to forge ways to keep our language written on paper as it's spoken, as Latin-script doesn't provide a sufficient range of sounds.

TL;DR accents are about dealing with the insufficiencies that come with Latin and would have never occurred with futhark.

>>66888560
not really, in french it was used to drastically simply spelling, for exemple ê in old french was always es like fenêtre/fenestre and the later is still used in derivates od fenêtre like défenestrer (throwing out of a window)or forestier (belonging to a forêt)

#1) It won because your empire stopped to exist, while Anglo empirialism still continues.

#2) English is pretty easy spoken, because it's basically a Frisian Creol and not a full fledged language.

It would be sooo much better if only they would switch to explicit rules of writting and spelling. It can't be so hard. Only the gods know why they continue to fuck in comming up with a solution to their shitzoid spelling.

surtout pas, double négation en français = double négation en anglais

Having to "spell" words with "letters"

>>66895559
yeah I agree sz cz rz are redundant since we have ś ć ź not to mention their Magyar invention and we just fuck it up all the time
w should be v and ł should be w like in literally any other language. why let ourselves get cucked by german w wtf
we have too many vowel duplicates u ó, i y, oł ą, eł ę, ch h
we also should put some vowels in words like chrząszcz or trzcina. Nobody can pronounce them really

>>66895559
>sz
>cz
Our literaly tradition boomed in the Renaissance era and since then we use these digraphs (unlike š or č you can write them with one stroke), also our digraphs accurately refer to the position of your thongue - to produce "sz" you have to place the top of your tongue between "s" and "z", the same with "rz", "cz", "dz", "dż", "dź"

>rz
we also have "ż", but we use them in different situations, basically in some derived forms "rz" transform into "r", like "morze" (sea) vs. "morski" (of sea), while "może" means "maybe/perhaps".

Basically you can't compare any semi-artificial Slavic languages like Slovenian or Czech to Polish with its long CONTINUOUS literally tradition

You may think wathever you wan't, that's your basic law, but it doesn't change the fact that in this version our nasal vowel wouldn't be denoted in any way, while "chrząszcz" is 100% accurate in Polish. You would have to introduce some way to differenciate between "o" and "ą".

>Russians use the combination of letters+"soft" or "hard" signs
Does that really count as a digraph? Considering the letters ь and ъ don't have any actual sounds, and they exist only to modify the previous letter.

>"dzherelo"
I'm assuming you're referring to the дж part of that word ("dzh"), but again, I don't think that really counts as a digraph, considering that the resulting sound is quite simply the combination of the д and ж sounds.

I think that the other Anon was correct (at least, for Russian). AFAIK, Russian doesn't have anything comparable to the "ch" in English, where an entirely new sound is created from two letters.

He's dead.

>>66898948
No, it doesn't, and ë isn't even part of the official alphabet I think, unlike ly, but neither of them is actually pronounced properly by most Hungarians.

Ly is usually just pronounced j and ë is either e or ö, based on the local accent. I think some Western Hungarians still use ë, and Eastern Hungarians can pronounce ly, and since Eastern is the official, ly is still part of the alphabet, but probably not for long.

That's a weird way of saying "dog healer" Iirc, curacao's name comes from "coração", heart

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1wYCF9DIvZB

>>66899425
interesting, seems like I wasn't even close

>>66899367
so "gulyás" is pretty much pronounced "gujás" by most Hungarians?

What is the "proper" (i.e. Eastern) way of pronouncing ly? And what about ë, what is the "proper" way to pronounce it, the way still used by some Western Hungarians?

>>66899513
More like "guyásh"
The "s" sound in Hungarian is represented by "sz"

>>66887121

Because ortography. Tbh we could perfectly live without the accent marks in spanish, 99% of the times wouldn't create confusion.

>>66899501
second 'c' is supposed to be a ç, which always has an 's' sound
second 'a' is supposed to be an ã, a nasal vowel. 'ão' is usually the stressed syllable

>>66899513
Yes. Ly is supposed to be a very soft l, our digraphs or trigraphs "make sense", since if you'd try to pronounce those consonants at the same time, you'd get a similar result.

The only thing is s is sh and so sh + z is like the English/Latin s.

Ny is soft n, gy is soft g and ty is just weird as fuck. :D

>>66899698
Give me a sentence with those digraphs
I want to try to pronounce them

>>66899229
>Does that really count as a digraph?
Digraph (orthography), a pair of characters used together to represent a single sound, such as "sh" in English

>I'm assuming you're referring to the дж part of that word ("dzh"), but again, I don't think that really counts as a digraph, considering that the resulting sound is quite simply the combination of the д and ж sounds.
It's one sound in Ukrainian, two in Russian:
>⟨дж⟩ is a digraph or sequence of letters, depending on the language. It is used in many languages, such as Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Belarusian, to write a sound [dʒ] or in Russian to write [dʐ] (In standard Russian pronunciation, this is two separate sounds rather than an affricate consonant).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cyrillic_digraphs_and_trigraphs#.D0.94

>>66895386
yea, thats is different thing though. my point is that a lot of those "hissing" sounds have a dedicated letter in cyrillics. and you seem to have more of those compared to other slavic languages. but since you use the latin alphabet, you have to resort to consonant clusters that look awful.

>>66899698
Thanks, that's all quite interesting

And what about ë? How is that pronounced when pronounced by "some Western Hungarians"?

>>66899698
>Ny is soft n, gy is soft g and ty is just weird as fuck. :D
Come to think of it, does consonent+y simply create palatalization? That would make sense given your description as "soft" (and also, the fact that the letter 'y' is used for this is quite logical)

>>66899811
Once you understand how the digraphs work, you stop thinking they are ugly

My opinions on Polish have changed a bit once I understood how Szczecin is pronounced.

>>66899811
I really don't care about your feelings anon, still it's a fact that you can read any Polish word with 100% accuracy, but you cannot do the same thing with Russian words (I'm refering to their moving accent that changes the way you pronounce their "o").

>>66899564

Writing camion instead of camión doesn't. But with the verbs it usually does

>golpe (noun)
>yo me golpee (subjunctive present)
>yo me golpeé (simple past)

Also with the interrogative pronouns.

>>66899986
dank

>>66899534
Thanks

>>66899986
Tried to do it without checking your vocaroo
R8 and correct pronunciation pls: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1hcMoV5Zwnk

>>66897273
Wrong, Germans have the z sound, are you retarded?

>>66900375
Doesn't z in german sound like ts?

>>66898710
Wrong, slovenes and serbocroatians have dž digraph. Also nords have them.

>>66900375
I think that Branon is right, they have the "z" sound, but they use the letter "s" to write it down. Still, sometimes they read "s" as "s", not "ts".

>>66900437
Yes, but I'm talking about the sound z, not the letter z. Germans pronounce s as z in some cases, for example so is pronounced as zo

>>66900306
Hungarian "a" is more like "o" and "s" is "sh".

Most latin alphabet languages' "a" is "á" and "s" is "sz".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_alphabet

Otherwise nice. :3

>>66900520
S is z if it's the beginning of the word like Sauerkraut. S is sh if it's before t or d. Z is always c though.

>>66900636
>"s" is "sh".
>"sz" is "s"
I actually knew that. Must've inadvertently fucked them up somehow.
These "zs" and "cs" kinda make me 404 sometimes too

>Otherwise nice
Thanks, mate :3
Cheers

>>66900636
Hungarian ortography seems to be very regular, the hardest part, imho, is that your vocabulary is soooooo different

IT'S CALLED ACCENTUATION, YOU FUCKING KANGATARD

>>66900306
pretty gud lad

>>66887279
Couldn't be more wrong.

>>66899954
True, it is one way of dealing with additional sounds that don't exist in languages which alphabet you adopt. I am just comparing different ideas but that left the Polish guy a bit butthurt. Anyway, consider Arabic/Persian/Urdu/Pakistani. These languages use a different approach: they either add extra letters or use additional diactcrics which would be the same idea as accents in the Latin alphabet.

>>66887121
You do know that england (you know, where your Language originated) is european too? Fucking bogan fucker

>>66898609
turkish

>>66904142
>ğ

>>66904491
how is ğ a digraph?

>>66904661
Isn't it used alongside another vowel to make a single sound?

>>66904711
no

>>66904711
I thought its only purpose was to double the following vowel wtf

>>66898609
>ss
yes
>xc
where? Like in excelente?
>sc
when is this not pronounced like "tasca"?
>lh
yup
>nh
mhm
>rr
yup
>qu, gu
you mean the mute "u", right? Does it even count?
>sç
when is this a new sound? Nasça? Isn't that just our weird 's' preceding a ç?

>>66887207
Isn't your "y" pronounced like our "u"?

>>66889127
Yes.

>>66889455
Why do anglos always say we've a "nigger language" everytime they're triggered and confused by this one?

>>66889632
In venetian it exists and it's a sort of short L

>>66904856
elongating the preceding vowel

>>66905616
they are not triggered but rather baiting. just ignore stupid replies and don't get triggered.

>>66905616
>americans
>anglos
not anymore. they're spics now

>>66898267
szerintem semmi baj nincs vele

>butthurt meme
I only wrote that I didn't care about your feelings - de gustibus non est disputandum - some people hate the sound of Portuguese (we had one thread about this topic yesterday), I like Portuguese, other people hate Chinese characters, for me it's the most attractive feature etc.

>>66905351
Half of these have an s sound and rr only exists because s and r's position in the word changes how it should be read, lh and nh are the only ones that represent a true new sound. If you consider digraphs as "two letters together representing a single phoneme", then all of those are digraphes

>>66907110
But what's the problem? "Nh" and "lh" are very convenient, you don't have to use any strange combinations during typing.

>>66906990
OK, fair enough.
