Meh... in french, we have the same kind of shitty conjugation, with some tenses (past composite, simple past, anterior past) that mean the exact same thing.
Also 4 (french, english, italian, russian).

Probably can survive in 6 languages

>so many cases to express the same things

such redundancy

>>67162245
Why do you have so many tenses?

>>67162245
Bad english, country english, hey, ese I am breaking into your car, and proper spanish.

>What did he do?
>What has he been doing?

etc.

>>67162812
You think anybody sat down and decided to create 20 tenses? Its just natural for language to evolve, in slavic languages lot of word combinations just sound wrong-to say for lack of better words, so lot of shit is added, good thng is that you dont have to learn it, it comes naturally

English
Russian
Ukrainian

Portuguese, English, Spanish, French

Maaaaybe I could get by Italian if I really needed it, but I doubt it.

russian

>>67162553
None of them expresses the same thing as another one. There's a huge difference.
>>67162812
For fun and mostly because of grammar.

>>67163216
also our weird hybrid of russian and belarusian, not sure if that counts as a language though

>>67162925
So they aren't all very different in application?

>>67162812
Those 20 are not actually tenses, just some 'affixes' (time of action + kind of subject + single or plural), I believe, all the slavic languages contain this crap.

That's cool. After studying Spanish, I realized that english is limited by not having the a system of verb or noun tenses like most European languages. That being, having a large amount of room to say different things.

English, Welsh, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese. My French and Catalan are shit but I can understand them ok.

>>67163775
Yeah enghlish is limited in how words are formed or in flexibility of words, but you can express yourself clearly in any situation from everyday to abstract bullshit, so its actually better system, just more boring

I even left one out (the bottom right one) because we don't really consider it a tense here in Brazil. I don't know about the Portuguese, though

>>67164585
We use all our tenses regularly, so I guess it's safe to say they're all "basic" or at least essential

If they use the Brazilian spelling (most of the time, since they are a larger audience and we know English well enough), everyone here prefers they use the flag as a warning, really.

>>67164585
There's like 8 or 9 different tenses, each of them with 6 distinct subjects, and you also add a little hifenated thing when you either mean "do to something/someone" or "do to oneself", of which there are like 8 or 9 different ones, and they can change the word before the hifen.

So for each verb there's literally hundreds of conjugations. Other Romance languages are similar, but they don't hifenate the object at all, so it's only dozens.

Most of this last part follows strict rules, so it's not too bad.

>>67165766
This.
But they're not really common in everyday speech

>>67166009
That's because you're using the trial version of the language :^)

For real, though. We use enclise all the time (when necessary), and even the mesoclise, which is rarer, but we do use it when appropriate.

>>67165983
>>67164585
http://www.conjugacao.com.br/verbo-fazer/
This is a bit of a subset, since the -o in the second example can be -a, and the last example can be -me -te -lhe -se -lhes, so it adds up.

>>67166099
It's mostly the switching the pronouns around and using different words. Really, it's too close to feel different, so it feels wrong reading it. It's nothing against you, despite the banter. English is just easier and more appropriate online. Even Euro Portuguese I rarely use, even if available.

>>67162245

>>67166278
>We use enclise all the time (when necessary), and even the mesoclise, which is rarer, but we do use it when appropriate.
Yeah, I meant only the mesóclise
Even we use ênclise a lot in some constructions, even though some of us don't realize that it's actually there

>>67163227
>There's a huge difference.

lmao sure thing bro

>>67166382
Yeah, I've seen you guys use the ênclise in some specific cases now that I think of it. Is it at the beginning of questions, or some context-dependent sentences?

Mesóclise is just rare to use, because you'd rarely use the tenses in most sentences, and some people skip it out of ignorance, but it's something correction-worthy, usually. Unless it's your superior, obviously.

>>67166576
>Is it at the beginning of questions, or some context-dependent sentences?
Hm... I don't know if there's some sort of rule of usage to it. I can't think of any examples now off the top of my head

>>67166656
Is it when you use the imperative tense?

"Trás-me uma goiaba." or "Me trás uma goiaba"?

It almost certainly varies by region, though.

>>67166729
"Me traz uma goiaba" would be the most common way to say it, but "Traz-me uma goiaba" doesn't sound foreign or tuga-ish to me at all.

Anyway, I managed to come up with an example:
"De quanto em quanto tempo deve-se fazer a revisão do carro?". That "deve-se" might be written as "deve se" in some cases, but it's still ênclise and it's used mostly in phrasal verbs (locuções verbais).

>>67166967
>might be written as "deve se"
I'm pretty sure that that would be grammatically wrong. The grammar rules aren't different in this case.

>"De quanto em quanto tempo >>deve-se<< fazer a revisão do carro?"
"De quanto em quanto tempo é que >>se deve<< fazer a revisão do carro?"

So you just invert it sometimes. I'm not gonna lie, It mildly triggers me.

>Trás
This triggered me even more. How the shit did I fuck that up.

mluvim trochu cesky (-:

>>67167164
>I'm pretty sure that that would be grammatically wrong. The grammar rules aren't different in this case.
Yeah, it's not right in this case, but "-se" and "se" are both accepted here as grammatically correct in some phrasal verb constructions, mainly due to ambiguity

>So you just invert it sometimes. I'm not gonna lie, It mildly triggers me.
kek It's cool desu. It makes our speech much more flexible and adaptable and it's particularly useful for writing poems

>>67167164
>but "-se" and "se" are both accepted here as grammatically correct in some phrasal verb constructions, mainly due to ambiguity
Just came up with an example of this:
>O menino teria (se cortado) se a mãe não tivesse pego a faca a tempo.
>O menino (teria-se) cortado se a mãe não tivesse pego a faca a tempo.

>>67164636
Ukranian
English
Polish

>>67167533
Yeah, but that "se" (in se cortado) is an "if", not a pronoun. It'd only be ambiguous if you didn't have the following verb requiring a conditional.

Also, pego? not pegado? It's getting weirder and weirder.

>English

>Portuguese

>French

>>67167643
>Yeah, but that "se" (in se cortado) is an "if", not a pronoun
Uh, no, it's not. The only conditinal there is the "se" in "se a mãe"

>Also, pego? not pegado? It's getting weirder and weirder.
I honestly don't know. We use both here, but only according to how natural they sound in a certain sentence or context. I don't know the grammar behind it.

>http://exame.abril.com.br/carreira/pego-ou-pegado-qual-e-o-certo/
This might help shed some light on how irregular Portuguese can be

>>67167920
>The only conditinal there is the "se" in "se a mãe"
That's what I meant, I just quoted wrong.

>pego/pegado
We have that with morto/matado and the other ones in the link, but not pego. Interesting.

Anyway, just to clarify,

Fuck right off
Get rid of the idea that a nationality constitutes a language right now

>>67168199
you're just jealous that I speak 11 languages :^)

>>67168150
Yeah, I know. I thought you meant ambiguity between both the enclise 'se' (if it were without the hifen) and the conditional preposition. Which wouldn't be the case, because only one of them would change the second verb in the sentence (althought you'd need to look ahead to know, but it wouldn't change the pronunciation, just the enunciation, maybe).

All that to say that the hifen must not have come to remove ambiguity, and just to link it as a structure to the verb, but then the proclise fucked it up, since it doesn't need one.

I dunno.

>>67168183

>>67168234
I get that you're being facetious, but are they really all considered distinct languages? Not accents?

I ask because I never see Spanish written down.

>>67168380
As in, are the changes vocabulary only, or does it also affect grammar rules?

>>67168380
Anon is only joking

the op image is clearly BS as it does not list all the equivalent possibilities, e.g "he had used to do", "she had used to do", ...

>>67168424
That is not what decides wether something is a dialect or a different language.

>>67168500
I know, but it's the actual question I wanted answered.

>>67168424
From what I`ve seen, it`s similar to how we use "você" instead of "tu" here

>>67162245
Don't forget "Dunna" "dodid" and "didden"

>>67168682
and "dindu"

>>67168682
"Dindu" as well.

>>67168670
We should go as far back as using Vós, desu.

>>67168540
Of course there are grammatical differences, at least in the widest sense. Spanish has been in the New World for 500 years and displays a great deal of variation today. You can't really speak of dialectal variation if the only thing that's different is the vocabulary. For example, Mexican Spanish displays changes in the intensity of vowels and intonation, partially because of the substratum languages.

>>67168818
Yeah, that's what I was trying to gauge.

Just changing vocabulary and spelling is something different than changing grammar rules.

I guess my question is, are all those "dialects" similarly different from Spain? Are there even 2 that are the same?

>>67168761
I guess I prefer seeing "vós" only in literature
I'd hate to ruin how archaic and artistic it sounds by starting to use it normally

>>67169012
