Why are all Germanic languages so simple comparing to German?

I don't know.
Fuck Faroes btw.

hang on i thought danes and swedes (and some norwegians) didn't use genders

they are all wannabe anglos

Faroe is red what you're thinking of is Shetland

I don't know, but it's great

nouns have genders

Some danish dialects don't. But they are pretty much dead now.

my ancestors (-:

wait, we don't use grammatical genders, do we?
i know in danish we have "en" & "et", but those aren't genders. they don't even have any applying rules.

en and ett are what's considered to be gender

what is that smal red parts of england? I thought everyone there speaks english

that's not england, it's wales

"en" og "et" er kön, intetkön og fælleskön.

pleb language for the lower class brutes

more like you germans adopted the rules of everyone who conquered you

Why would you have such bullshit things in your language?

why the fuck would you ever need grammatical genders and cases

just looked it up. and yeah is right. thanks guys.

how would you translate "intetkön & fælleskön?
no-gender & common-gender?

why the fuck would you need an entire separate alphabet just so you can pronounce your words?

>no-gender & common-gender?
neuter and common

what you on about?

It's both simpler and more versatile than the vast majority of languages. There's a reason everyone knows English, brother.

unless you are referring to words like naïve and façade I don't know what you mean

The main application is artistic. You can botch it up intentionally as a literary tool. Ask papa Shakespear what that means.

The useful side-effect is that it removes all that xhe/rxe bullshit English has going on. People are very concious about the few genders used for nouns and the deranged tranny has to explain how his OCDountsteel gender fits into the whole system.

Mate.

it really is a blessing that English is the lingua franca
imagine having to learn a foreign languages' cases and shit, that would suck hard
from my perspective only German would be better since it is my first language, but that's personal bias
English is objectively the best choice

that's wales cunt

Old English was too complicated for French brainlets so they tried to simplify it by making us speak French. Instead we butchered it to spite them.

The end result is a language with very simple grammar, but extremely difficult spelling.

I'm talking about the phonetic alphabet you retards

Clarity.
It evolved for a reason.
Easier to know what people mean, when saying something rules out 1/3 of what they could mean.

That's not for pronouncing words you moron, that's just to be completely clear about what letter you're saying as over a phone/radio certain letters can sound very similar, like s/f or b/v

It doesn't since Chicanos are pushing Latinx and there are plenty of Spanish speakers pushing for gender changes to Spanish.

Care to give me an example?

Yeah if only my English friends called inanimate objects him and her then I could understand wtf they are saying....

Probably. Standarddeutsch seems to be the most conservative of all Germanic languages.

>Old English
Anglo-Saxon*.

t. Pierre LeNegre, London waiter

actually our grammar comes from old norse

Wat is dat? Mijn hand en mijn vinger. Hallo. Alles goed? Ze is goed. We zijn goed, mijn vriend.

>it's not for pronouncing words, it's just the only way to learn how to pronounce words
you're mentally handicapped

no

no it didn't

Languages with gender distinction generally have fewer cases of ambiguity concerning, for example, pronominal reference. In the English phrase "a flowerbed in the garden which I maintain" only context tells us whether the relative clause (which I maintain) refers to the whole garden or just the flowerbed. In German, gender distinction prevents such ambiguity. The word for "(flower) bed" (Beet) is neuter, whereas that for "garden" (Garten) is masculine. Hence, if a neuter relative pronoun is used, the relative clause refers to "bed", and if a masculine pronoun is used, the relative clause refers to "garden". Because of this, languages with gender distinction can often use pronouns where in English a noun would have to be repeated in order to avoid confusion.

This, Swedish/Danish/Norwegian grammar and word order is very similar to English

Why should languages be unnecessarily verbose for practically zero semantic or syntactic improvements?

How to fix English:

1. Use Icelandic letters and diacritics
2. Bring back thou, thee, thy and thine

ESL problems.

it actually did

it came about due to our intermingling with the danes
see:
anglistika.upol.cz/vikings2014/

Wat is jouw naam? Mijn naam is Bob. Ik eet brood. Ik drink water. Ik ga naar school.

Literally what? In what world do you need the phonetic alphabet to pronounce words? Like what's even the connection there?

Force common pronunciation of letters.

>2. Bring back thou, thee, thy and thine
just move to yorkshire lad

English is fine, you horrid wog.

That's the joke. Adding 20 different ways to say "THE" doesn't make your language superior

Mijn kat is op de tafel. Mijn koffie zit in mijn auto. Ik ren naar mijn werk.

The only way to make it less disgusting than the abomination of Middle English was to make it even more retarded

I don't think you know what the phonetic alphabet is in all honesty, it's when you say a word to signify a letter, Tango for T, Sierra for S etc

Ain't it only old people who talk like that

You literally just pulled this straight from wikipedia, I remember reading this before.
You failed to mention that this logic doesn't follow with two words of the same gender.

>a PHONETIC alphabet
>it spells the words by how they sounds not how they're spelt
>hurr why would it be used to declare how to pronounce words
are you actually retarded?

Middle English was spelt phonetically dumb yankoid

Why to improve it is by making MLE standard.

>it's when you say a word to signify a letter, Tango for T, Sierra for S etc
You know what he meant retard

Middle English is supposed to be spoken with a West Country-esque accent

It sounds ridiculous in our modern accents but it's actually quite nice when you reconstruct it

I think you're mistaking NATO phonetic alphabet to what I'm actually referring to:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_respelling_for_English

That's not what the phonetic alphabet is

This post lowered my IQ

I would always be able to understand that the flowerbed would be maintained, is this just a native English speaker thing or something? I understand this point but I still don't see it necessary

nah, he's right. bringing back letters like þ & ð, and ridding the fr*nch would be both based AND redpilled

Do you really not know what the English Phonetic Alphabet is?

it as necessary*
I also type too fucking fast for my own good

Oh, you mean pronouncing THE ALPHABET in a phonetic way

depends on the person desu
