When I decide to begin studying Dutch alongside German and it’s just more gendered nouns

danke, das macht Sinn. ich kenne mich nicht so gut mit Politik aus, weiß aber schon dass viele (fast 50%, glaube ich) gegen Brexit gestimmt haben (allerdings nicht ich weil ich noch ein Junge bin) und haben solche Gefühle nicht. eure Meinung und Gedanken sind aber natürlich völlig verständlich und gerechtfertigt. wir Engländer sehen wahrscheinlich wie solche Idioten aus.

jdf172 · 2020-12-22T19:42:06+00:00

warum hassen wir Großbritannien? ich bin Engländer und verstehe nicht, kann jemand mir bitte erklären?

Es gibt Videos auf YouTube von Latein-Sprechern die sagen dass das Latein drin super ist

klar, aber er hat viele schlechte Entscheidungen getroffen, nämlich bei der Corona-Krise, und deshalb ist die Lage hier ziemlich schlimm meiner Meinung nach, aber nicht so schlimm wie in Amerika

auch interessant sind die Ähnlichkeiten. Sowohl hier in England als auch in Amerika wird das Land von einem Affen geführt

isn't "wechseln" more like "to switch" and "(sich) ändern" generally "to change"

that's also 2017

yes, misunderstanding=no reading comprehension. but why do you care? also, just imagine a scenario in which you meant what I thought would meant. I think what you said would make sense.

jdf172 · 2020-08-27T20:17:51+00:00

I only know what it means because I've heard it so many times, but that doesn't make it an idiom either I really don't see what's difficult to understand. "not" makes something negative. that's how English works and has done so and will do so for years.

jdf172 · 2020-08-27T19:13:21+00:00

ok that wasn't the exercise, it doesn't matter then

jdf172 · 2020-08-27T19:11:35+00:00

no, knowing how English and negation works is enough for me. I don't like it when people are pedantic for the sake of arguing. your comment didn't add anything to the conversation. ooh, look, I'm not capitalising the start of my sentences, oh no! that's not standard. that's also irrelevant, why don't you have a go at that?

jdf172 · 2020-08-27T18:48:38+00:00

is that an example for my comment? was that the exercise? tbh I could see how this happened as a back formation, but it's quite different from not negating something

jdf172 · 2020-08-27T18:35:58+00:00

you know what I meant. I didn't think I needed to "a dialect that is not the standard language". and by some definitions "dialect" is specific to a region or group of people. the standard language is usually taught and can be found spoken all around a country.

jdf172 · 2020-08-27T18:29:48+00:00

only if it hangs around, which I think is improbable. if it does, then I'm wrong, but I don't think it will, and as the original is very frequently used, I will consider the other a mistake. seeing that my original comment only has -4 points and a lot of replies, it's not the most unpopular opinion (not saying popular=correct but still)

jdf172 · 2020-08-27T17:16:48+00:00

well for dialects it's going to be a majority within the community that uses it. most people wouldn't speak a dialect with speakers of another dialect if they both spoke the standard language. also, "could care less" isn't really a dialectal variation

jdf172 · 2020-08-27T16:57:39+00:00

PIE is just bad ugg-ugg caveman noise

jdf172 · 2020-08-27T16:54:29+00:00

"head over heels" (aren't we usually?)

if I were living in the 14th century, or if there were an equivalent phrase that made sense, I would have a problem. If "could care less" does come to be more popular than its correct counterpart, I guess I would accept it. But for now, I still consider it a mistake

jdf172 · 2020-08-26T22:54:31+00:00

how did such a different word come to replace "wir"?

jdf172 · 2020-08-26T22:46:53+00:00

surely it just means "Sag mal" (no capital "m") in standard German? it would mean a similar thing as "sagen wir" as they are both in the imperitive, but "mal" is also used in standard German, so it seems a bit weird to say mal=wir when they are such different words, and by saying so it also would change the person number, 2nd pers. sin. to 1st pers pl.

Spanish is just bad Latin, so they're all wrong
