Needs more large frenchy words that end in "-ion"

>>77866982
Its because of loanwords. N.Koreans use little to none non-Chinese loanwords, while S.Koreans use words like juus for juice and terefonu for phone

>>77866982
I think it's mostly because NK Korean is still stuck in the 50s, where as SK Korean has evolved and added a bunch of new words and loan words to keep up with the times. So if a SK was talking with a NK they could understand each other for the most part, but there would be a lot of confusion and misunderstanding.

>>77867212
We cut that suffix in our dialect, but I can offer French verbs ending in -er where we add -en to?

No Slav can claim this. As the saying goes, noben Slovan ne ščije sam (no Slav pisses alone).

Scandi was the brother tounge to english, then the french messed it up.

Kan du tala skandinaviska.
Can (thou, d/th = þ) talk scandinavian.

Var skall du nu gå?
Where shall thou now go?

Bringa mig guld(et-the)
Bring me the gold

Det kan man se

but there are exceptions, in example most of Poles cannot understand Russian (but I've met Russian speakers who claim they understand most of Polish phrases) but we can understand most of Belarusian and Ukrainian (since they're mostly just a mix of Polish and Russian) and read South and West Slavic languages (but their pronunciation is usually too weird to understand anything)

>>77867797
naah, the language group is called Anglo-Frisian. Dutch is closer to Old English than any Scandi lingo.

The base of Old English was more similar to Dutch and Frisian but the Scandis repeatedly raped the Isles so Old English is superficially very similar to Old Norse.

>>77868625
We use "telefon" too. And smartphone is "smartfon" while language like Lithuanians have their own name for it.

Russian is way worse in this regard honestly.
While we in Polish have some technical words that aren't loanwords (more like direct translations) Russians went full retard and pretty much anything that's related to internet and has a term in Russian is just a phonetic transliteration.
From my Russian classes I remember Site. Site as in website. In polish the name is "strona" or "strona internetowa", literally site/page or interernet site/page. Russian word is "sayt". A phonetic transliteration of the English word.

I also always kek at the Russian word for railway. Zheleznaya doroga. Iron road. You can't get more ooga booga than that.

>>77868258
what the fuck thats basically different language

>>77869011
the morphology and syntax of the romanian is romance. The vocabulary (the coat of paint) is slavic.
Romanian is as slavic as english is Romance.

They use the same exact term for railroad in French. "Chemin de fer", literally road of iron

>>77866569
besides frisian and scots, dutch is the most similar

>>77869237
That explains a lot.
Russians in the day when railroads were introduced were huge frenchboos. Could be a calque then and not ooga booga.

>>77869266
fuck off dutch is our little brother language

>>77869201
It's still completely unintelligible to Italian speakers and sounds like a bad Russian impression

>>77869404
It's the same for Slavic speakers (at least Polish speakers) and sounds like a bad impression at italian. Your point?

>>77869402
It's Germanic, like English and German. They're going to be similar.

>>77869425
That Romanian is not mutually intelligible with Italian as the namefag was implying

sounds like a good recipe for a disastrous accident.

Mushroom hunting is not popular outside europe and few other regions of the planet probably for a reason. If the natives for thousands of years didn't deem their local shrooms edible they most likely fucking aint

>>77869459
West-Germanic. I.e. I can understand German quite well, while North-Germanic languages only have familiar sounds.

West-Germanics split off from North-Germanics around 700 BC.

There is debate as to weather Scots is a distinct language from English, or if it's a dialect of English

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language

I know that, but there's a few species I'd like to find in the wild once, and they are easily identifiable.

Your point is entirely valid though.

What do you mean my bro? I go shroom hunting every month now that it's rainy season. Even my grandad can recognize the 4 local varieties with psychotropic properties.

People in the countryside know a lot about mushrooms.

It only seems that way to you because you're so used to your own barbarisms that you don't notice them anymore. When it comes to borrowing from european languages you're not really the one to talk.

"sait" and "internet-stranica" are two different things though

>Could be a calque then and not ooga booga
Kek. It's ooga booga when Russians do it but it suddenly becomes okay once you find out that it was the French who made it up. Very unbiased of you.

>>77870245
Amanita muscaria (red fly agaric) is actually edible when you cook it and discard the cooking broth, but I would recommend trying it.

The really dangerous amanitas are the ones that contain deadly amatoxins, like the death cap (A. phalloides).

Do Dutch people understand anything from the spoken Wymysorys language?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvq4ArCbVIY

>In origin, Wymysorys appears to derive from 12th-century Middle High German, with a strong influence from Low German, Dutch, Frisian, Polish and Old English.[3] The inhabitants of Wilamowice are thought to be descendants of German, Flemish and Scottish settlers who arrived in Poland during the 13th-century. However, the inhabitants of Wilamowice always denied any connections with Germany and proclaimed their Flemish origins.[6] Although related to German, Wymysorys is not mutually intelligible with Standard German (that is the case for most other German dialects as well).[7]

>>77870412
I knew that but people usually don't. here people get sick every once in a while eating amanitas without driying/cooking it

Aha, so it's misinformation that it isn't intelligible to some degree with German. Thanks.

>>77870900
Unfortunately there are only several hundred native speakers and even some of them need classes because they only know it passively. It became popular recently so some Poles started learning it, although I doubt if one can preserve any language outside of its ethnic basis.

Those are latin loanwords, not transliterations. I did not imply loanwords are bad, there's plenty of them in Polish. Vocabulary relating to machinery is full of German for example. Watch movement is called "Werk", workshop is warszat (werkstatt)

He is right, tho. I know Russian and even that internet related terminology you mentioned is mixed, eg.
yes, they have terms like "interniet-trafik" (интepнeт-тpaфик), but also:
download - skachivat'
upload - zagruzhat'
etc.

Also - how is it strange that they coin these longer terms? All languages do it today, including Chinese etc.
