Why can't you Europeans just use "x" like normal people
Lincoln Clark
wtf germany
Zachary Adams
Been done before
Christian Kelly
Why do some bosnians use the Swedish way? Which language in particular does it?
John Fisher
Probably different contexts.
Here we use «these» for typed text and „these“ for handwriting. Some exceptions apply, but they are well defined in our grammar.
Lazy cunts also often use "these" when typing.
Jordan Price
(((them)))
Anthony James
>«these» for typed text
MS Word reverses them for me. For handwriting, that would be the same (or you can also just draw the apostrophes as straight lines)
Adrian Phillips
But no one else around use the Sweish method
Parker Brooks
based us
Dylan Foster
this map is wrong...
this is correct. at least for Germany
Caleb Jackson
>cudzyslowy
"weird letters"? Is my knowledge of otherslavic correct in this?
Robert Collins
cudzy - foreign, belonging to someone else
słowa - words
Henry Powell
Holy shit wtf why would anyone use anything else than "this"?
Kayden Diaz
oh, that sounds very typically Polish and thus weird
we just call it narekovaji, which means quotation marks
Ryan Lewis
I guess it's not the word for punctuation symbols, but for the linguistic concept they are used to highlight.
>„Fuck off, cuckstamp Russia” – the Pole said.
We call it Пpямaя Peчь/Direct Speach. Foreign Words makes sense as well.
Nolan James
Based „”! Death to „ “ fags!!!
Benjamin Kelly
"I just do this desu"
Henry Bell
It's nice to have an opening quotation mark and a closing quotation mark.
Looks more orderly.
Cameron Evans
"This"
Nathaniel Sanders
»not using «this»
Thomas Bell
Swede here. That pic is wrong. We only use the following, nothing else ever:
"......."
Owen Jackson
anything other than "x" is cringe
Tyler Moore
This is correct for Sweden.
Jordan Rivera
i use single quotes
Angel Green
We got taught German way in school but everybody actually use "" except for journalists who are the only ones to use
Camden Hall
I thought everyone did "this"
Eli Ward
"x" for quotes
'x' for quotes within quotes
Are other languages the same?
Joseph Smith
Wrong, "x" is far more common here, or „x“.
Although I like «x» more desu, aesthetically speaking.
Justin Ward
Same goes for Finland. Never seen >>x>>
"This" is the way to go. Everybody else seems to be using it too no matter what the map says
Kevin Sanchez
I think the map is just about what is technically 'correct' in these countries. A lot of people might use "x" but that doesn't mean its correct.
Luke Adams
It's not a country thing, but a language thing.
In German class we learned „x“
In English class we learned "x"
In French class we learned « x »
We only have one key for quotation marks. Programs like MS Word know this and format it correctly when you set the language. On the internet hardly any websites consider this, so it's English type quotation marks everywhere.
And it has an effect on people. I notice more and more using English type quotation marks even when they write by hand.
Leo Edwards
it's also kind of weird, because I only really see >>
