You have no idea what you are talking about, right?

If you need anything more than Past, Present, Future, Imperative, and Infinitive you are a shit language

Just what I expected. One day you'll have to admit something got fucked up between Latin's 6 tenses and what you ended up with today.

>>69350703
I know, right?
Past, Present and Future are enough

Try French dude, it will fuck up your mind just knowing all our possible tenses

You are probably too dumb to realise english tenses are at least as hard to use as romance tenses.

I seriously hope you guys don't do this

Dutch has 8:

>onvoltooid tegenwoordige tijd
>onvoltooid verleden tijd
>voltooid tegenwoordige tijd
>voltooid verleden tijd
>onvoltooid tegenwoordige toekomende tijd
>voltooid tegenwoordige toekomende tijd
>onvoltooid verleden toekomende tijd
>voltooid verleden toekomende tijd

Like German, all can be either terminatief or duratief.

Do you put verbs in future tense by taking the infinitive and putting the future form of быть in front of it? Is it that simple?

>>69355052
Yes, but only for imperfect verbs.

>>69355259
Can you explain imperfect vs perfect?

Actually Slavic is pretty close to Sanskrit.
Here's nice comparison of some Russian and Sanskrit words:

Becuase they belongs to the same language family: indo-european. Sanskrit is arguably more complicated than Classical Greek and Latin. These three deserved to be dead tho. Grammar are nightmares.

>>69352838
I can express all that with 3 tenses. We used to have four but the fourth one proved useless.
Something like genders, cases and the dual number would be far more useful desu

step it up

Présent
Passé simple
Passé compose
Passé antérieur
Imparfait
Futur simple
Plus que parfait
Futur Anteriéur
Subjonctif présent
Subjonctif passé
Subjonctif imparfait
Subjonctif perfect
Conditional present
Conditional passé 1
Conditional passé 2

Imperative and Infinitive are not tenses, silly Jew.
And how do you distinguish between things that have happened things that have been happening since the past and are still continuing, or things that will happen and things that will have happened and be completed int he future?

It would be a hassle to write the schwa sound and the variations of E and O but there is no excuse to not using those in speech.

>>69359192

just an unstressed allophone of a, e, i and o desu

And then you have the Compound (ter/ir <verb>) cases, Pronominal (-me, -te, -se, -nos, -vos, lhe, lhes) cases and Article (-o, -a, -os, -as) cases in all of those, although those have only small, rule-generated changes.

6 voices for each.

>>69359101
I think we have 16, but a couple are interchangeable (although when you switch you can tell something is wrong, even if you can't pinpoint what)

What do you need more than 3 tenses for

>>69357934
T'as oublié les impératif et gérondif

Which other languages uses subjonctive besides us ?

>>69369426
Those aren't tenses buddy

Imperative is an aspect ( I think ) and gerund is a conjugation

>>69366994
when everyone talks through brainwaves, speech naturally devolves into meaningless guttural sounds

I know they arent tenses, they both are moods. But they have a few tenses linked to them.
