Languages Slander #3

Показать описание
Remember that all languages are pretty and unique in their own way and all you see here is purely comedy.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find the @ of the original creator of the tiktok used in the part about the Dutch and Flemish speakers, but I'd be happy to provide it.

Jokes explained:
0:00 - Polish tends to have a consonant cluster of "rz" in words where the letter "r" normally takes place in other Slavic languages (Except for Czech, perhaps).
0:04 - SOV languages (or the 'Subject-Object-Verb' word order) tend to place verbs at the end of sentences making it somewhat harder for people to instantly guess what the speaker is going to say thus making it uneasy to quickly interrupt them. Examples of languages that use the SOV order include: Dutch, German, Turkish, Japanese, Korean etc.
0:07 - In the Dutch language and its Belgian variation knows as Flemish, the words for "she" and "they" are exactly the same.
00:12 - Chinese and Indonesian happen to not have distinct tenses relating to time. Instead they use words that mark the time (like "Yesterday", "During" etc.) or the duration of an action.
0:16 - Japanese and Korean are very complex languages that take the Category V in the list of the hardest languages to learn for English speakers.

But we are not replacing "r" with "rz" it should be more like why are Poles replacing every "ż" with "rz" even though it's exact same thing (it really is)

As a Japanese, English is just as hard as Japanese.

Like:
cough, though, through, rough, ought
日 hi 、日曜日 nichiyoubi、今日 kyou 、翌日 yokujitsu 、昨日kinou
