English is a very primitive language in terms of grammar, and dry emotionally. Why?

>>70426151

You're lying.

As they say, the only things that separate a dialect and a language are a navy and an army
And Ukraine has neither
>>
>>70426725
it has both though

>>70426777
If you say so...

I am Transylvanian
I like Ruthenia, I can empathize with their suffering, we share (or used to share) the same religion
Only a secessionist movement away from Central Europe, yet still so far away...
>>

> emotionally dry
> a soulless slav
Nah, mate.
>>
>>70427236
prove me wrong then rather than refer to us as soulless based on nothing
>>
If English is so stupid why did God write the Bible in it?

Checkmate commie.
>>
>>70425353


I think English is a pretty good language. The only thing it really needs is a formal widely accepted "you plural".
>>

>English is a very primitive language in terms of grammar, and dry emotionally. Why?
English underwent creolisation at around the time of the Norman Conquest. Hence why it's laughable in terms of grammar etc. But I wouldn't say it's 'dry emotionally,' it depends on the writer.

>>70427373
The Bible in English? Baptist or Mormon one? Ew, murricans))))
>>
>>70427494
What about diminutives and augmentatives? English is very poor in that regard.
>>
>>70427656
Only Russians can't get irony. No wonder their country is so fucked up.
>>
>>70427732
That was sarcasm. What's a pity that you can't recognize it. And I agree with the rest of the line.
>>
>>70427732
Double irony
Checkmate

>>70426777
t. Crimea

>>70426473

>>70427657
English has plenty of those, wtf are you on about
>>
>>70430658
no point explaining it to a monoglot such as you are
>>
>>70427494
"You" is plural, thou twat.
>>
Why did English abandon the second person singular "thou"?
Ye has also disappeared.
>>
>>70434062
Why did Japan become so cucked in recent years?
>>
>>70432285
Think he meant that "you" is bot singular and plural, but it needs a different "you" for it to be plural.
>>
>>70425353

At least our language wasn't made up by communists in a boardroom.
>>
>>70425353
Given that most of the best literature is written in English, you're wrong.
>>
>>70440334
No, it's in French, not in English.
>>
>>70425353
>English is a very primitive language in terms of grammar,
Definitely yes
>and dry emotionally.
Absolutely not
>>
>>70427148
Don't confuse Ruthenia with Ukraine, because they entirely different things
>>
>>70440334
You can write the top tier literature in another language and it will never get the attention it deserves because foreign language and lack of name recognition.
>>
>>70425353
Yes a very primitve language, and yet probably the most efficient yet.
>>
>>70441167
Why do so many Spanish speakers hate their tongue?
>>
>>70440401
Incorrect.

France hasn't made anything relevant since the 19th Century.

La Infana Raso

>>70441278
Well, in that case you're very ignorant. Try to google it if interested. And it's well-known that for some reason French literature isn't very popular in the English speaking world. Don't know why, though.
>>
>>70441386
Because it tends to be sophistry.
>>
>>70425353
still the best language, though
>>
>>70432285

"What do you think?" doesnt tell you if you are talking to one person or a group of people.

>>70440401

XXth century French literature didnt decline, Proust is considered among the very best writers of the century, and Sartre, Camus, and philosophers like Foucault are household names.
The most famous active writer that is respected and not bestseller shit is Houellebecq.

English may have the best literature if you add the USA to the UK and Ireland, but France has the best literature of any country.
