I shouldn't need to rewire my fucking brain just to talk about the weather in Japanese. Any language that has 4 ways to say "if" Is fucked.

Stop learning Japanese, it's useless and irrelevant

>>76761468
歯 = tooth
医者 = doctor
歯医者 = dentist

Truly a brilliant language that's totally worth learning.

I often see Japanese learners say Japanese is relatively easy grammar-wise. Though it seems they struggle to decide which particles to use.

What's so vague about this one?
>>
>>76761585
Zahn = tooth
Arzt = physician
Zahnarzt = Toothphysician

Also Doctor is not a profession it's a title! And it's totally unrelated to medicine...

If you get to see a doctor you might end in a cyclotron or a museum!
>>
>>76761704
lol easy to transcribe.
Also Chinese script is objectively more complicated than Egyption glyphs...why would you want to keep that?

Language develops and changes over time. Script should follow these changes!

Either stop whining or move on to learning something else.

hangul is brilliant. from a lingustic perspective it's everything a script should be.
>>76761704
isn't it well retarded to spend so much of your life learning characters just to justify reading old texts? just get the government to transcribe them to the new script/ make a publicly available dictionary when you want to transcribe something yourself. characters objectively are worse and typing them into a computer is stupidly inefficient.

>dude just simplify your language so Immigrants can learn it
No. Sweden is in the process of doing this, removing the difference between "a" and "an" (they vary based on noun gender and are identical spoken) and allowing "multicultural" speakers in Radio/TV. Bad idea.
>>
>>76761959
This. A language is what it is, complaining from the outside will only net you funny looks. You'll learn it eventually with practice.
>>
>>76762028
Amazing comment Sweden. Very intelligent! If Korea knew about this 500 years ago, it wouldn't be the immigrant-filled shithole it is today.
>>
>>76762165
But Japan is doing it specifically to make the language easier to learn. Also, you lose some meaning without kanji
>>
>>76762208
if japan switched to the roman alphabet they could just spell synonyms differently like every other fucking language
>>
>>76762280
But they're pronounced the same way.

It's too arbitrary as an adult to really learn any other way than immersion

Not really the best example, considering your language is fucking disgusting.

Why are you even fucking here, normalfag?
Why do you fucking cretins keep coming to 4chan, the largest English language, Japanese interest website online? Do you also go to music concerts and complain that it's loud?
