german sounds pretty similar to latin. latin has random word order (depending on what you're reading), some words having a million meanings/uses, 6 different cases, genders (which often defy logic and you can only learn by memorization) hmm and a ton of exceptions everywhere :O

I've been learning german for 5 yrs and still don't know it ^^
I thought that since I started studying at the univ it would all be over but now I have latin and what do I see there?
dativ, genitiv, accusativ, plusquamperfekt etc. etc. (anyone who learned german will know what am I talking about)

And if you think german is really hard with fucked up grammar etc. then try to learn polish this would make your brain flip over (I'll try to find some online english-polish grammar or sth so you can see it yourselves).

It's sounds so harsh/violent when spoken though.


that is what makes us strong...
everyone fears us, although german people are most likely the most peaceful, as long as you do not somehow make them go on a rampage...

I don't see the point why we should be scared of you Germans Yea German is hard but polish is much much harder. Somewhere I read that polish language is 4th or 5th of the most difficult languages in the world.

French is another language where all the nouns have a gender...

Is that good or bad? I mean, a language which is "easy", have solid rules and not to many expectations, and also a large vocabulary , isn't that a "perfect" language in some way?

And how do you judge it anyway? Since languages originates from different places, isnt it impossible to judge a language overall?

It is somehow dependant on where you live and what is your basic language. For example to me english is pretty simple and for english-languaged people polish is hell. (it works a bit of both ways though, many people from poland have a lot trouble with writing in english since it doesn't reflect the pronounciation exactly)

edit:

"Wilhelm: She has gone to the kitchen.

Wilhelm: It has gone to the opera."

No german would say it like that.


Wo ist das schone Englische Madchen?
Es ist zu der Oper gegangen <-----


i'm having a hard time believing a german person would say "es" there instead of "sie"....

btw that article was dumb, there are reasons as to why it is called das mädchen (CHEN --> das). some things in that article... it was like he was trying to be funny instead of having a point/being correct.
fuck him i hate him already

WTF?! French?! It's in my top3 most hated languages (type that you don't wanna hear/speak).

1. Italian
2. French
3. German

And most beautiful language in the world is latin.
