>His language assigns imaginary genders to inanimate objects
It's not imaginary. A chair is female, and a throne is male. Very different.
>His language has only three tenses
>His language can't distinguish between green and blue
>His language doesn't use verbs and describes things by saying "the sun brights" or "the water wets"
As a bilingual pleb, which languages do this?

>>77992428
>his language doesn't have a specific word for "light blue"
Embarassing tbdesu

>>77992925
>what is turquoise

>>77992428
Dutch uses "it" to genderless objects. And "the" to male and female things.

Now if only there was some logic to what male, female or genderless is.

>>77992428
>His language doesn't have distinctions between singular and plural second person pronouns (inb4 "y'all" and "yous" count)
>His language doesn't have separate inclusive and exclusive first person plural pronouns

Chair is male

>His language assigns "penis" a female gender

>>77993618
Because I wish we had a neutral gender

>>77993648
I don't know about what language you're speaking but in roman languages a weiner is obviously masculine.

>>77993597
How progressive of you.


Sea -> Male
Tree -> Female
Sun -> Male
Earth -> Female
Crown -> Female
Sword -> Female
Shield -> Male
Car -> Male
Ship -> Male
Penis -> Male
Vagina -> Female
Clitoris -> Male
Glans (penis) -> Female

>genders
for what purpose

>>77993732
Procreation. Not something Japanese people know about.

>>77993698
Think again, this happens in Latin.

>>77993732
It's not a question of purpose, It's just that languages are basically built around this concept.

>>77993779
>this happens in Latin
Really? didn't knew it. But remember we don't actually speak Latin, but an evolved version of the shitty, bad spoken Latin who were spoken by illiterate people.
So It's way better, o-ok?

>>77993872
nah sorry m8, happens in Sicilian and Dalmatian too, romance languages will never be the same

>tfw his language has only one way to pluralize nouns

>>77993781
is it that big deal to put superfluous thing like genders? sounds like as if it's really needed to keep languages alive.

>>77993934
Yes, that's was my point. Romance languages are different from Latin and µµµdifferent from eachother. That's why I have to learn Spanish instead of just understanding it.

>>77993979
Most Romance languages only uses masculine or feminin as basics. The neutral gender, present in Latin, mostly disapeared (although there are still remains in the languages).
So, we don't need it to "keep our languages alive"; but it's just a basical part of our languages. A basic constituent.

>His language has speech levels

Hold on bro let me just analyse your social class so I can conjugate my verbs properly.

>>77993008
>turquoise
turquoise has a tint of green you fkin idiot
cyan might be closer to just "light blue" but still not it

>>77994307
English has speech level, you dummy.

>>77992925
>Other language has a word that English doesn't
>Steal it, badly mispronounce it and claim it as our own
Whatcha gonna do now, big boy ;)

>>77993240
just did a major think

>>77994316
We have azure, then.
>inb4 "but that's just a copy of azzurro!!11"
and azzurro comes from persian, and their words comes from arabic, etc.

>>77994332
No it doesn't It has words that you can use to formalise your speech if you're in a situation that calls for it.

Korean and Japanese conjugate verbs differently depending on how formal they need to be.

>>77994638
Aqua aswell.

>>77994652
yes, indeed. I thought you were speaking about other Euros languages.
Japanese and Korean put "courtesy" at another level.

>Xir language has an oppressive polite plural installed by a oppressive patriarchal colonialist that hasn't been abandoned in the name of equality and social justice

>>77995008
How have SJWs now tried to destroy gendered nouns yet?

People miss the point with genders. They're just weakly motivated noun classes, that's it.

>>77994652
Register/speech level is far more complex than that and, in a sense, present in all languages.

>>77995263
They're trying to do so in Latin America. Every time I see a "amigxs" I die a bit inside.

>>77992428
his language isn't god language
top keke
aahajajajaahahahazja

When I studied in Germany I tried to understand why everything needs a gender. I could not understand it so then I just learned to memorise which words are der, die or das.
It was definitely a strange but interesting experience for me.

>>77993522
Same in Frysk

De man = the man
De frou = the woman
It hûs = it house
