What is objectively the most unnecessarily complex and overcomplicated language in the world?
>>
>>71023828
Chinese. Who the fuck thought that writing only with ideograms which represent only one syllable would be a good idea?
>>
"Savukkeensytyttimen" is Finnish for "cigarette lighter."
>>
Russian

>meme alphabet
>guttural sounds
>evil people
>>
>>71023933
>Savukkeen sytytin
>Cigarette lighter
How is it complicated

No one calls it a "tupakansytytin" It's one of the following
>stendari
>stenkku
>flekki

Anyone who says otherwise is a filthy bönde

>>71024280
Yhdeksän = nine
Kymmentä = tens

Yhdeksänkymmentä= nine tens

Not complicated at all, Tyrone

>>71024322
You have too many letters in your words.

>>71023892
Some persons that were living 4 thousand years ago.

Most ancient writing systems are logograms, it's just that while the rest are dead, Chinese characters are still living.

dumb ameriburger

Besides, no one actually uses the formal assburgerspeak Google translate gives you. Yhdeksänkymmentä is shortened to "yhekskyt" in spoken finnish

"happy" is "блaгoпoлyчный" in Russian.

They don't care they never use that word anymore

Idk, english and French have retarded anti intuitive pronounciation, Japanese has its unnecessary writing with 2 kanas and kanji and Slav languages seem to be hard for foreigners, likely because of the number of cases.

Come on, english must be the easiest european language
>>
>>71024344
No one talks like that, wouldnt surprise me tho that someone on 4chan speaks irl formal language from 1850s. In other words, it looks complicated because that is oldschool formal way we write in but we dont actually use those words never. Maybe that just made it even more complicated for you
>>
>>71024438
It's "cчacтлив" or similar, depending on the grammatical case. The grammar is the only tricky thing in Russian, all the spelling is phonetic.
>>
Japanese or English
>>
>>71024922
>gook saying japanese is difficult

Yeah. Whatever.
>>
>>71023828
Spelling? Either English or Polish
Grammar? Hungarian, why so many cases? You only need like four at most, if any.

So the Spanish and Italians are all dumb non-whites? Sounds about right.

>>
>>71025437
Japanese pronunciation is way easier than most other languages.
That's one main reason Japanese people have hard time speaking other languages. We don't have many sounds.
>>
>>71025429
>Russian

3/4 isn't bad I guess
>>
>>71025437
I dare to say it's the same difficulty as "twenty seventh august, one thousand nine hundred and ninety three", if not easier. That if you aren't familiar with none of the languages, of course.
>>
>>71024344
written formal finnish and normal informal finnish are different

>why so many cases
Why not? They get used fairly commonly and they increase information density.
It's better than using several additional words and word order to express phrases.

It's actually over translated

Eg

One thousand nine hundred ninety three vs one nine nine three
