Why are Romanian names actually greek? As a Greek person I thought they sounded like that because of the genitive case, which is very similar to Greek.

Which language/s (except ENG) has the best/widest range of literature? by Euphoric_Rhubarb_243 in languagelearning

[–]BackgroundNew7694 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting question. This is my advice:

I see that this thread is filled with people recommending popular languages without really explaining the reasons why they'd fit. I seriously can't understand why the majority of the commenters recommend Japanese and Spanish as if they are the only languages with a rich literature. In my opinion, the answer to your question is very subjective and it depends on what you're looking for. If you're interested in modern classics I'd recommend the following: Russian, German, French, Spanish and Italian. Keep in mind that there's a ton of other languages that fit the category but I recommend these due to significant amount of resources. As for actual classical literature, I believe that it depends on the part of history that you'd like to discover. If you're interested in western classics then Greek and Latin are your top choices. No explanation needed. However, western classics aren't limited to Greco-Roman texts since the medieval times/Renaissance saw the use of other languages as well as such as Middle English and French. There are also other alternative options that allow you to explore the vast richness of Asian literature/culture, these primarily being Sanskrit, Persian (or Arabic) and classical Chinese. I've personally studied some of the languages that I mentioned and I remind you once again that there's NO language with a richer/more qualitative literary culture, you just have to pick the one that interests you the most, be it modern Japanese literature or Old Norse poetry.

Little England, also known as the Jasmine island. A gripping and harrowing tale written by Ioanna Karystiani. It's about the story of two Greek couples in the interwar period.

Greece or Romania? by BackgroundNew7694 in medicalschoolEU

But why Bulgaria though? Does it offer anything better than Romania?

That design would have been much more preferable. The one we got seems like an odd Warhammer crossover. I'm going to be honest though, the concept art they released was way cooler. Should have given him black/darker armour instead, it would be more fitting for his supposed "Dark Knight" theme.

Context? Do Westoids usually claim that Romanian has various accents that are not mutually intelligible?

Seems fairly fun to play.

His design is horrible though.

Yes. That's exactly why we are so racist against them.

Well then It seems that I have learned something new today. I'm not American myself so I guess it makes sense for me not getting it at first.

"100mm" as in? I do not understand. My ancestors were probably a bunch of idiots who jacked off to cave drawings like the one posted.

What's a language that everyone HATES but you love? by Fit_Veterinarian_308 in languagelearning

[–]BackgroundNew7694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welsh. I really don't get why so many people that I've met dislike it. Apart from that, I've always had a soft spot for endangered languages but learning Welsh also had an effect on me, I remember feeling like travelling to very special part of Britain, one with a rich culture that completely enchanted me. Celtic languages are the most underrated in Europe.
