Your language is english and your country is the US witch pretty much destroyed what the english was before. Also average american does not handle basic grammar of his native language.

Were you trying to be ironic in your post, or did it just sort of happen?

I only use english in here, i got better things to do than to learn foreign language beyond the point of the basic understanding. I am master of my language though and i better in english than a good part of american niggers and rednecks. Do you think your countrymen know the collective nouns in general? It is your post that is ironic. An american braging about the english language.

This isn't about me or my countrymen or the lamentable state of public education in this country. Let's get this back on track, since something about my innocuous thread seems to have triggered something deep inside of you.
So, does Slovak have similar collective nouns?
>>
>>77200398
Bro, I am not triggered. But it is fancy that an american would be showing off with the language of foreign descent.
My language does have a lot of them but not a comparable amount to the english. I found out the english has really a lot of them when i was like 16YO. I was pretty amazed. But still i consider the english used in the US a very easy language. The british english as it was used for example one year ago by the aristocrats was something completely different and i surmise it was them who made it up/used it and were the real masters of the language. It seems to be that the US just somehow inherited the common language of the working class and not the 'real' language. I might be terribly wrong though.

As a billingual French-Russian native speak, I can confirm that there are not
Slovak/Czech languages are primitive af
on pic related you can see the comparison of Russian and Czech language
Keep in mind that Slovak language is more simplified version of Czech

Whoops
>one year ago
One hundred years*

>>77201031
What you said is not true.
Slovak is a different language, czechs do have different words(as well as we do) for the pic related. Try again, m8

Wasn't showing off, was sincerely curious if this was something unique to English.
Also, all languages are inherently of foreign decent.

Come on, their Afro-Spanish isn't that bad.

>>77201055
>Slovak is a different language
no, Czech/Slovak are mutually intelligible for 99% unless you are retarded
>>
>>77201203
Ok then sorry for the flame.
>>
>>77201310
They have a common base?
Yes.
They are different languages?
No.
I do not know where you got your information, but check twice next time. What could say all slavic language are just one are not different, but you would be the retard, wouldn't you?
