LifeSunDeath posted:I think the suffix "-er" needs to be "-ist" at all times. Flipperwaldt posted:The butchist, the bakist, the candlestick makist. Esperanto is like this: "person who does thing professionally" is always -isto, so "buĉisto", "bakisto", "kandelfaristo" but also "fotisto" (person who does photos) and "kantisto" (person who does songs) for example. Plural is always -oj. It is gendered: feminine form is always -in-, so "buĉistino". Instead of a funny picture, have a chuckle at the idea of a shared language uniting the world in peace and harmony.

I love and appreciate Esperanto but it is pretty funny to be like 'I'm gonna make a universal language' and then base it off French German and like Czech That's all of them, right?

So Babble.com says:quote:The roots of Esperanto were largely based on Latin, with influences from Russian, Polish, English and German. This was done on purpose so that those who already speak a language descended from Latin will have a much easier time learning this new language. Many Esperantists claim that because of the simple grammar, familiar Latin vocabulary and phonetic spelling, you can learn it much faster than any other language. So yeah, let the world come together around this shared language in peace in harmony! (but by world mostly thinking about Europe here). Honestly leaning into Spanish and to lesser extant Dutch and Portuguese wouldn't of been a bad idea with how widely their spoken. dr_rat has a new favorite as of 20:40 on Jun 29, 2023 |

dialhforhero posted:What? I will straight up guarantee that there are more native Spanish (and probably French) speakers world wide than Russian because of the legacy of colonialism. If we’re only counting Europeans as “native” speakers then sure but also lol Edit: poo poo I forgot English lamo. UK+US+AU+CA+NZ native speakers alone are going to be more than native Russian speakers

So to copy from the CIA world fact book (lol) most-spoken language: English 18.8%, Mandarin Chinese 13.8%, Hindi 7.5%, Spanish 6.9%, French 3.4%, Arabic 3.4%, Bengali 3.4%, Russian 3.2%, Portuguese 3.2%, Urdu 2.9% (2022 est.) If you could make a language from English, Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish and Arabic, that would cover around half of what languages spoken (I think the numbers are for primary language bit it was specified so that would change things quite a bit if not). Anyway um not sure what a language would look like created out of all that, but it um it would be interesting. dr_rat has a new favorite as of 23:20 on Jun 29, 2023 |

But the issue with Esperanto was that it is Eurocentric?!? Like, that’s the exact point I am trying to make with how it is widely disproportionate in influence. If you want languages that will make you be international the learn Chinese, Hindu, Spanish, and English (probably also in that order if you already know English). dialhforhero has a new favorite as of 02:36 on Jun 30, 2023 |

Facebook Aunt posted:The gamer lighting is cool, but I like this image better. When I was in the cardiac ICU after surgery, they required some voiding as proof that I was back to normal. It took my wife a couple minutes to find the toilet, which was in this 3-lock-box contraption that looked like a kitchen base cabinet or built-in dresser: the counter hinged up & the sides could be folded back to expose the commode. Never seen anything like it since.

It's wayyyyy easier for a tonal language speaker to learn a non-tonal language than vice versa and a ton of European language words have Indo-European roots. Most people in Africa speak a colonial pidgin too
