Phrasal verbs

Cheer up Paco

What do you struggle with? Grammar-wise, German seems more complicated than French imo.

Those are not phrasal verbs

si no = if not
sino= instead
a ver = literally "to see", let's see
haber = "to have" as an auxiluar verb
así (mind the diacritic) = like this/that,
a sí (mind the diacritic) = to itself, to oneself

was meant for

In what fucking universe is that difficult?

God damn, being an anglophone must literally be a mental illness.

What are you up to haha

english grammar is stupid but it's not that bad, no genders, no massive list of tenses

>no massive list of tenses
Probably not regarding conjugation but the ammount of irregular conjugation verbs is overwhelming for a lot of people.

A lot harder than English's conjugation that's for sure.
It's also easier for a French speaker because you have the same shit.

yeah the grammar is stupid in its irregularity, but on the whole easier than most romance languages

Don't feel bad, I'll tell you now most burgers and bongs probably aren't even aware there is a difference and assume it's all up to preference.

I think "difficulty" is relative in languages: in one single word the Spanish speaker manages to communicate the action, person, mood and tense that configure a verb. For example "volvíamos" means "we were coming back". As you see, you need four words in English to communicate as much.

But here's the interesting thing: the four words you need in English will have to always be in that order or otherwise the sentence is senseless, while in Spanish -given that the word alone a sentence in itself-, you can actually "play" with the word order when you use the verb "volvíamos". The English is very strict in word order because it doesn't have the verbal advantages of Spanish, this forces the learner to sort of memorize sentence patterns for the more complex verbal conjugations such a "we would have had to go"

yeah, this is what makes me sad about reading translations is how other languages can play with structure, like how kafka had incredibly long sentences or flauberts use of language, Madame Bovary was great but not knowing what it is like in the original french sucks

Why do your nouns have genders?
>tables
>chairs
Which of these has a penis again?

Good digits and good post. I hope you really mogged your friends with your English flex.

I'm not a fan of prose but I do get sad about not knowing Ancient Greek, surely the ideas, themes and imaginaria are there but the words aren't the same

You can do away with the word "gender" if it bothers you so much and replace it with "category a" and "categorie o", the nouns of the "category o" have their article as El/Los, and the nouns of "category a" have their article as "La/Las"
