The superiority of Spanish over English

English has a far bigger and more creative vocabulary.

Give it up. The only chance that English is ever replaced as the "Universal language" is if Aliens invade and force us to speak their language.

No, English vocabulary being the biggest is a lie.

>>73949075
Yes it is, and it only continues to get bigger as more words keep coming in to existence with most of the world using it for international communication.

>>73948855
For starters, everyone whose opinion matters speaks english on the internet because it's fuck easy to learn if you are not retarded, at least knowing enough so they can have a coherent discussion. If we had to choose one and only one language for all of humanity english wins, it's the obligatory second language par excellence.

The other more subjective reason is that I feel like english is also easier to adapt to new uses, like memeing. I spend so much time reading it that only now I notice how horribly outmatched spanish is in something like synonyms. I have a real hard time translating shit from english to spanish just because I feel like I can never find the perfect spanish word to show both the meaning and the more subtle connotations.

Spanish has its good things, I think we are way more creative in swear-making for example and I like my language, but english holds quite some advantages.

>>73949251
You don't make sense. the more words come in the the more go away. Your vocab isn't any better or conspicuously bigger than vocab of any other european languages.

>>73948958

>Estrenar

>Compadre/comadre

You can't say this in English, and the translations you find are not really what they mean in Spanish. English is such a primitive language desu

That's just a meme. Second generation chicanos are more likely to know English than Spanish.

>>73949251
yeah, as a dude who loves English and has a high degree of fluency in Spanish, English is leagues more expressive if we are talking pure quantity of options here.

at the same time, I do think Spanish (any other language) is worthwhile though for precisely the opposite reason--the limitations of Spanish as compared to English give you a much better understanding of the role of emotion in communication. You put more of yourself into the way you speak in Spanish in a way that you don't necessarily do in English without a certain cause.

No natural language is superior to any other.

>>73948855
Because it doesn't fucking matter who got the freest word order, most suffixes, biggest vocabulary or whatever. What matter to people is what gets the job done. English does that because it's been the linga franca of business and so on for the past 50 years. Could it have been Spanish? Yes it could. But it isn't.

because spanish is gay and those that speak it sound like monkeys

>>73948855
English is easier.
and
>>73948958

>>73950577
It's because English is your mothertongue. I feel the same way about English. Some in Russia even consider English the most primitive one.

>>73950577
Everyone feels the same about their native Vs. their second language.

The structure doesn't matter when you compare two (relatively) related languages, what matters is the culture and history. Very few people ever decide to speak a language for its structure or aesthetic, pretty much everyone learns what is practical, and what's practical tends to be what's most widely spoken and has the most culture associated with it. Basically this stealing the words right out of my mouth>>73950634

>>73950599
Because most of the Chicanos are bilingual.

There are however more of them that can can speak English but not Spanish than the other way around.

French spelling and pronounciation is way too retarded. While Spanish feels too inconsistent to me. (v=b, lack of SH sound, and that J sound.)

English: Precise and generally unambiguous grammar without needing an antiquated case system like German, no excessive conjugation like romance languages. Absorbs loanwords readily and does not have an excess of dialects to confuse things, as basically any native English speaker understands others, except maybe some Caribbeans/Jamaicans who speak a patois/creole type blended language. Logical statements are rigid, so it's easy to code in.

Is there a better language to become the worldwide standard? Not a troll question, I really want to know. What is your argument for a different one?

However, I will admit that spelling and pronunciation in English is very random and hard to guess for non-native speakers compared to other languages I've studied for example Italian.

I am spaniard but ....Spanish is spoken by third world countries and narco shitholes....

Why should more flexibility be considered an assess? It can lead to more incoherence, inconsistency, and misunderstanding.
As for connotations, there are equivalents.

>>73951579
>Is there a better language to become the worldwide standard?
Russian since it is the most flexible and precise language. However, Spanish is easier to learn so If I were to choose, I'd go for Spanish.

>>73951686
>Why should more flexibility be considered an assess? It can lead to more incoherence, inconsistency, and misunderstanding.
>As for connotations, there are equivalents.
Dead wrong. Learn Russian for example and you'll see. There's no other way you could understand.

>>73951687
>the most flexible and precise language
How does one even go about measuring such a thing? And even if such a thing were possible, is there a point at which the marginal utility of any additional "flexibility" or "preciseness" becomes a negligible or perhaps even negative?

Could it not be that your perception of English not being flexible or precise enough, simply be a consequence of you not being a native speaker?

>>73950427
what did you call my mother you fucker?

>>73951795
>It can lead to
How can a possibility be wrong?

I understand that you're trying to defend your language, but I won't learn it for the sake of understanding that the Russian language is a good example of coherence, consistency, and better understanding because of its flexibility. For all I know, it could be the exception.

>>73951844
But many English words have multiple meanings that might not even be connected. It isn't the case with Russian. Also, suppose I said she gave her her book. Whose book is it? I cann't tell without a context, but can in Russian.

The book is clearly hers.
More context only adds more precision, even if the amount of critical information differs between languages.

>>73952100
Is a deeper understanding of one's mother tongue or main language compared to a second language an unavoidable bias towards the other languages?
If you don't have a grasp of the second languages as good as your firsts', you'd miss the proper equivalents or you would be unfair in your comparisons.

>>73952305
sure thing filth, just remember to understand your place as a sleazy fatfuck and everything is nice and right

Spanish isnt superior to English

English isnt perfect but it has 2 valuable advantages over Spanish

-it is more efficient quantitatively. A text in X language, translated into English and Spanish, will always use significantly less characters in English.

-English can create compound words made only of nouns, like "Stone wall" while Spanish can only "Wall of Stone"
Because of that, creating new words and neologism is easier in English.

I havent read any post in the thread apart from OP. I imagine it was all shitposting. More complexity doesnt necessarily mean better.

This. I'd say that it's more important turning our nations into lesser shithole and educating the people much better, then we can talk about replacing English. That's the only way it can happen anyway, the hypothesis of the Hispanic majority turning Spanish as the main language in the US is simply a Chicano's wet dream.

Be cheeky all you want but arbitrary rules that don't do anything except give words 'more character' do not make a language more appealing. And spanish speaking countries have such weak cultural exports that the only reason to learn spanish is for basic tourist vocabulary.
