He is correct, you know. His sentence structure is just weird.

He means "Germanicucks labor to comprehend the academic latinisms which in our nation ("over here") ARE day-to-day speech."

>>9222823
So what you're saying OP, is that you are socially, economically, and geographically privileged to have received a better education than most, and for this you give thanks to Circumstance, without which you may have been born a flea.

so let me get this straight, you're better at english because you understand some words derived from latin with more ease than an anglo? what about literally every other word, not latin-based? your 'talent' is so narrow it's essentially useless.

jesus west europe is so fucking poor and without achievement in the last 2000 years that they have to resort to making themselves feel better with these shit posts.

My native language is a romance language and I got that immediately. Are romance languages actually superior to English? It seems like people from continental Europe can easily understand every kind of sentence structure and articulate the most complex ones (and in English, I mean).

>so narrow

~ 40% of English words are derived from Latin and/or Greek. It's definitely a boost.
>>
>>9223021

And most of us know the majority of them. OP is talking about latinisms which are usually considered snobbish anyway so nobody uses them.
>>
>>9223034
Yeah. One example I use a lot is ameliorate. It's a very fancy word in English but in French it's commonplace
>>
>>9222999
As an english speaker I have a far easier time with franco-latinate etymology and relative meaning than germanic.

The core of our language is germanic and really obscured to us because of its familiarity. The decking of our language is all romance, and we are so detached from it while simultaneously being steeped in Latin and Greek culture/language that the words are really easy to unravel.

What are you bragging about? There's kids half your age who already know or are learning a third language.

A-at least I can read muh Chekhov

Imagine the horror of speaking mangled, simplified, peasant version of Latin natively. I'd literally shoot myself if I were you, Oppie
