How come they never developed a decipherable langugage?
Whenever I communicate with a finn they seem to just speak in garbled, random enunciations with no decernible meaning. When exposed to a keyboard they will also seemingly just type out random letters with little forethought or reasoning. And this is not an isolated case. They all do it. They even do it to each other, and pretend to understand one another in what I can only describe as play-acting; emulating a more advanced civilization which has developed a unique language as a means to convey information to other humans within the civilization.
Can someone explain this mystifying phenomenon to me? Thank you sincerely in advance.

>garbled, random enunciations with no decernible meaning Isn't that true for any foreign language though? You don't know it, otherwise you wouldn't be confused.

I think his point is that the finn are just pretending they understand each other. Finnish is not a real language, and they are just typing random letters on the keyboard.
Seems likely to me.

Sure but other languages at least look like what you'd expect from a human language. They don't look like garbled letters; you can still see a structure, syntax, etc. within. But finnish? Well it's quite literally the equivelent of typing random letters at one's leisure, without an overarching logic, structure or otherwise. Quite "spartan" as you'd say here in Sweden. "Pedestrian", "underdeveloped", you see? It appears this is the fate the finnish peoples have been relegated to. Quite a sad and interesting turn of events.

Google translaattori pystyy pikkuhiljaa jopa kääntää tätä englanniks. Parempi vaan pysyä kämäsissä lauserakenteissa ja arkipuhepuhe pohjaisessa murteella sotketussa kirjotustyylissä iha vaa siks ettei muut sais selvää :D Ainaki englanniks kääntäes alkaa saamaan lauserakenteista jo jotain pientä vihiä jos ymmärtää missä kontekstissa asia on sanottu, mutta noin yleisellä tasolla automaatti kääntäjistä saa silti vastauksena pelkkää sekasortoa. Vitun pierusammakkojen kuoro oispattelijoineen ja ammatti alkoholisteineen silti, mitään vitun syytä tätä kenelläkään kääntää oo

taka, takka = rear, fireplace sata, sataa = one hundred, it's raining mato, matto = worm, carpet because of really obvious reasons, the whole meaning of the word goes haywire if you add double letters
I consider anyone who can't pronounce double consonants properly to be linguistically primitive.

culture of mongol, doesn't help either that they lived in scattered huts far from each other, only developing a "sophisticated" culture at the point of arrival in the 13th century when they began to inhabit proper population centers

You broke the vowel harmony. You can't mix up back vowels a, o and u with the following front vowels ä, ö, y. Front vowels i and e are mostly neutral in regard to vowel harmony.
Compound words that consist of multiple words can have mixed vowels but the vowels only exist within the different sub-words. Like the word for battery cage >häkkikanala instead of >häkkikänälä or hakkikanala because häkki (cage) and kanala (hen house) are distinct words.
Even if your writing is gibberish it should either be >häkköhäyhä or >hakkohauha Ä and o in häkko and the "ay" in hayhä immediately signal that this word is anything but Finnish.
It is a well known fact that Finland didn't have cities, recorded history, or complex written language before the enlightened, ineffable, charity of Sweden graced your shores.

>Burger tries to act like Swedes because "muh aryan swedes muh 20% Scandinavian heritage XD" Pathetic
of course, it's retarded, and Finland had a rich recorded history and culture because some twigs have been found with scratches on them amongst some rocks

Hello police. A Finn just brutally murdered a Swede.
I don't understand how being forest people is bad when you end up having the best and most advanced civilization in the world. If anything it seems to have been a huge advantage for us. And still is.

>He thinks the culture of tunisia stops at carthage It's very impressive that you know about Carthage at all, you've already gone far beyond the limits of american education

it's chief among the most interesting epochs in that region, it's just a hangout for tourists rolling the dice on death outside of that

it would have only been a problem had your people remained that way past a point where you could grow and evolve without being completely absorbed by any of the more advanced nations surrounding Finland
Swedish uplifting of your race saved it from extinction
Hudson Peterson
What an interestin hypothesis, but these things happen some way or another. Swedes is actually one of the main reason why we lack written history so badly.

The serious answer to your question is that the Finnish language comes from a different family of languages. That said, I truly wonder how it is that a swede can still care about some silly rivalry with the finns. Don't you have grenade attacks to dodge and then surrender to, plus black penises to suck on?
Swedes excel in the same fields as Ashkenazi Jews while Finns are descended from paleolithics with less refined senses regarding monetary policy and culture
Just because your poor nigger made language couldnt into advanced languages that could bend words anyways and means doesnt make your whole language family anything else than a lesser race.
Ever notice how it's always, and I mean ALWAYS americans talking about black genitalia? And then they try to imply implications towards you? I think Americans need to realize this sort of rhetoric reflects more on them than it does the opposite side.

Finnish is actually a really simple language, people who say it is not have never ever given the language a fair chance.
Finnish doesn't have articles, so you don't have to give a fuck if something is definite or not. Most prepositions are suffixes which might seem spooky as fuck but what's truly the difference between saying "in a house" and sticking a "-ssa" at the end of the word house? There's none, it's just different, not better nor worse.
Finnish also is an extremely phonetic language, everything is pronounced exactly as it's written. The rules are numerous but rarely are there exceptions. Most words are very self explanatory, you just stick words together. For instance, speeding ticket :
Yli = Above Nopeus = Speed Sakko = Ticket
Ylinopeussako
Above speed ticket, it's fucking simple.

One of the reasons why I like English so much is that it has a simple and elegant grammar which makes it easier to learn.
Brandon Scott
I wouldn't call English practical language because you may have no idea how to pronounce a word if you haven't heard it before. One great thing in Finnish is that every word is pronounced as it is written.
Gavin Hughes
None of that is needles actually, every ending and bending has its own place that makes us Finns communicate on levels most of you simpliminds will never understand.
>you may have no idea how to pronounce a word if you haven't heard it before. If you know enough words and all the typical spelling-sound mappings you can pronounce new words accurately 99% of the time. It's only a problem if you are a 500-word vocab ETL shitter. If you need to consciously think about spelling, grammar or pronunciation you don't know the language yet. It lets you encode more information into fewer words at the cost of a higher cognitive workload. The more any element can be modified, the more you have to think ahead while forming sentences. Similarly, errors have a much larger impact on the perceived meaning.
There's a reason why every lingua franca ever has been one with simple grammar. Simple syntax is much more important than simple spelling.
I'm talking about errors in syntax not spelling/pronunciation. It's not uncommon for people to fuck up some case at the beginning of a long sentence while losing track of what they wanted to say, then having to restructure your sentence to avoid confusion. You have to plan way more in advance in a language that uses shit like cases whereas English is pretty much "type as you go".

Is this common in Latvia? Because here it really isnt
