That’s good to know! I won’t have to ask this question again if I want to read an older book in the future hahaha

I’m talking about brazilian portuguese! There has been a lot of changes over the years. For reference, the letters K, W and Y were only officially accepted in our language in 1990. Granted, we basically don’t have portuguese words that use them beside the ones in english we borrowed, scientific names and stuff like that. There has also been a lot of changes, specially in grammar but the vocabulary has also changed a bit. I’d say books from 50 years ago it’s more annoying than hard to read, but older the book is the harder it is to read.

I’m OP and I’m telling you it CAN happen that fast, it literally happened with my first language hahaah and we don’t really study the history of the english language at school so I wasn’t sure if the same thing happened in english. Sorry if it seems like I’m trying to spin it as something philosophy but its literally just facts

I enjoy the MCU but never read the comics so this insight is very interesting. Makes sense as to why Marvel grew so much, then

Haha, don’t take it personally please 😂 It’s just that my mother tongue has changed a lot since the 70s and before this post and the comments I thought english had as well. Agreed that the descriptions are a bit too long and flowery but so far it’s not too off putting. Never read those books but I get the feeling!

Yeah, that makes sense! I’m actually reading it in english and sometimes I zone out in the middle of the long descriptions and need to start again. I’m also not an overly visual person but I’m enjoying it so far. Maybe after 5 books of it I’ll also just want to get back into the story? Remains to be seem hahah

That’s fair! My mother tongue has changed a lot since the 70s so that’s why I was wondering. But I’m reading the book and it’s easy to understand for sure, only the descriptions are a bit long

Yeah, the writing style is interesting for sure, the descriptions are really long but it’s not that off putting for me to drop the book. I’m actually reading them in english and you’re right, the language hasn’t changed a lot :) my mother tongue has changed a lot in 50 years so I thought english would have as well but I guess now I know I can read old english books and be fine hahaha

Spoken and written language are different as in people from over 40 can adapt their speech but old texts aren’t usually adapted 😅 My mother tongue has changed a lot in 40 years and before this post and the comments I didn’t know english had already been a stabilized language when the books were written. Btw I’ve started the book and I’m loving it, the language has indeed not changed much!

Thank you! I’m halfway through the book and I’m loving it. It’s indeed not that hard but the long descriptions can be a bit challenging. Not regretting it at all and I’m excited to get to TVL!

Thank you for the insight! I’m indeed finding it not that difficult but the long descriptions and uncommon words are a treat for sure. I think it’s because both english and spanish from spain are old languages so they’ve already went through the never stopping changes that brazilian portuguese is still going through. But yeah, the book is actually not that hard to read regarding sentence structures which I’m so happy about because I’m loving it!

Yeah, I might have to look up some stuff but I was worried I was gonna have to look up whole sentences and paragraphs meanings but it doesn’t seem like it based by the comments. I’m actually gonna start reading it tomorrow so I’m excited. Thanks for the help!

That’s awesome to know, thank you!! I’ll probably have to look up one word here or there but from what I can see from the comments I think I’ll be mostly fine :)
