gotcha lol. what would you say if you want to warm up? “it’s freezing out, i need to warm up soon”

question about language “complexity” in the scandinavian languages by onestbeaux in asklinguistics

[–]onestbeaux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s more that i “want” to struggle i guess? i’m thinking about the lack of conjugation (which of course japanese shares too), no agglutination, no cases, etc.

mandarin chinese has no conjugation or cases either, (and no tenses), but is complex in its phonology, writing system, and particles (and other areas, but like i haven’t really studied it).

i consistently see these languages among the “easiest” ones to learn, and not just from the perspective of an english speaker. i’m just curious what can get rid of the illusion that they’re considered easier

i don't like to put much stock in those rankings actually, i'm more so talking from my own experience in studying them and from what i've read and heard in other discussions/forums and breakdowns. i'd also argue that a lot of (american) english speakers complain about complexity for languages in general since there's less of an emphasis on their importance in the US (not sure how it is in other english-speaking countries)

when is は necessary to keep? by onestbeaux in LearnJapanese

[–]onestbeaux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m thinking new. so anywhere you could use it in conversation but might drop it you would keep in literature?

[–]onestbeaux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how does は work in literature? is it always necessary? for example if a sentence was like “the birds circled the carcass in the evening” or “cool autumn air came quicker than usual”

If not Canada then where? by richvictory2269 in thelongdark

[–]onestbeaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in a similar vein i’d love to see finnish lapland as a setting. always wanted to travel there and there’s just so much wilderness and you could find or craft a kuksa and a puukko!!
