Can someone please explain to moi, as to why the French number system is retarded as fug?

I thought only Belgians used those. So it's just the French that are retarded then

In Canada they say it the same way than us. So basically 95% of Francophones are using quatre-vingts.
Even in some part of french speaking Switzerland they would use quatre-vingts. For example the way you say it in Geneva is different than in Lausanne, even tho the cities are separated by only a few kilometers.

>youre retarded doing maths

It's male
Fucking Anglo scum when will you learn. Objects don't have a gender, words do. The same object referred to by different words can "have" different genders. A word sounds feminine or masculine, it has nothing to do with its meaning. You do experience the same gender feeling when it comes to names, for example. Typically, you would say that Nikita or Misha are female names (they are not) because to you it sounds feminine.

>there are genders in my language

Nope, a mesa is female.
The sky is male
The mountains are female
The stars are female
The sea is male but if you are on >feels, you refer to it as a female. “La mar”
This gives you infinite possibilities in literature, songs, poems, etc. It actually feels good

it isn't. you're just afraid of some words

wooaah truely poetic

Because it’s french

Explain how it is retarded?

Cringe

Our number system is complicated and that's why we're so good at maths. Not only did we invent the metric system, we also had/have mathematicians like Blaise Pascal, Fourier, Laplace, Galois, Poincaré, Lagrange, Cauchy, Grothendieck, Descartes, Villani... I believe this is all linked.

Still not as bad as Danish.
> 5 + (-0.5 + 3)x20
instead of
> 5x10 + 5

why is funland so ass blasted ?

boats and tractors are feminine right ?
its a wonder "intellectuals" are not making a fuss about this

my table chino is so cute

well isn't French number system something you remember semi-forcibly, not logically? like you don't always remember ninety nine in French is 4 × 20 + 19 every time you say quatre-vingt dix-neuf. it's something you find yourself saying

El suizo soñaba con la mar
Pero su cuadrada bandera no quería mostrar
Pues temía que cuando la cruz él izase
Una ambulancia la gente notase

It’s not that different from how multiplication is taught in Anglo countries in so far it relies on abject memorization rather than inherent logic. Didn’t you spend hours memorizing multiplication tables growing up?

>tfw managed to get myself to use septante huitante and nonante even though I'm French just to piss people off

so anglo language doesnt have gender, no wonder they crave for lgbt and all those dgenerate stuff.

it doesnt piss people off, they just think youre retarded or a foreigner..

we did, i heard indians remember 2 digits multiplication which is tres bien

We do that to an extent as well but only up to like 20. Beyond that it loses effectiveness in the sense that it undermines the use of more advanced math techniques.

t. pissed off

>mesa
made up words dont have a gender
Sky is obviously male. Stars are female. Mountains are female (boobs). Sea is male, always.

Mesa isn’t a made up word. It exists in English too

well not realy, i dont really care you guys use nonante if youre swiss or belgian, but french ? thats just retarded.

yup, seething as I thought

You guys get way too big hard on a about the minor differences in your language.

it isn't it's the same as everyone. foreigners are just bothered by soixante dix, quatre vingt, quatre vingt dix. for us it's natural and we see or hear those numbers as specific words and not as a combination of words

>X object clearly is male/female gender

yep, that'll be a yikes from me

ok cool

words have gender, comes from latin no doubt about it but it's easy to know which word is female or not, generally in 99% of the case a word that ends with the letter E is a grill, the rests are boys.

>youre le seething because i told you so lol
yeah ok kid

>Sea is male
Sea is a mommy embracing you, its female

I think we can all agree that the system used by us and Germans is the best. Fiveandthirty, not thirty five ok?

>anglo brains too small to comprehend basic concepts

>Ugrians
ayy lmao

how would we agree, how many field medals your system made you win?

I've got a few archery medals, not sure what kind of medals you have

he cute

>sea is male

Only if your gay. English rarely has genders and they are never required but a few things often are gendered, the moon is clearly female, as are boats, cars, and the sea.
Basically anything men want to get into or on top of is female.

>the moon is clearly female
B&rp
>as are boats, cars
C&bp
>and the sea
Depends

In Dutch a table is male or female (doesn't matter which).
While a kid is genderless.

Octante.

>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. It does not, however, help in cases where the words are of the same grammatical gender. (There are often several synonymous nouns of different grammatical gender to pick from to avoid this, however.)

>Moreover, grammatical gender may serve to distinguish homophones. It is a quite common phenomenon in language development for two phonemes to merge, thereby making etymologically distinct words sound alike. In languages with gender distinction, however, these word pairs may still be distinguishable by their gender. For example, French pot ("pot") and peau ("skin") are homophones /po/, but disagree in gender: le pot vs. la peau.

TL;DR grammatical gender is a smart language design hack

>"let me take a peak under this [male] car's hood, if I like what I see I'll climb inside [him] and rev [him] up, see how fast things go for us."
>in Spain we fill up a [male] ship with seamen and get [him] wet
>Like a [man] the sea is moody and controlled by the cycles of the moon

This is quite gay

>let's replace some s by z and call it a new language

When they teached us those they told us french-swiss have normal numbers. So its just frenchies that are retarded lmao
This is useful in some cases

English speakers shouldn't really be allowed to comment on other languages

This desu

When on earth would it be useful??

>a kid
>dosnt know if its a he or a she because anglo language is too limited

You use pronouns more often and generally speaking less ambiguosity
The language also flow better

>Girl
>Boy

Saying it flows better only makes sense after growing up with a gendered language because you're used to it - just like me saying the pronunciation of 'the' (ie 'thur' or 'thee') makes English flow better

You don't have to repeat nouns or names that often with gendered language thus resulting in a better flow

Basically the first paragraph of this Also you don't have to learn if a noun is male or female since the rule goes that if a word ends with masculine suffix (o, i) it's male, feminine (a, e) female

See

you can be a girl or a boy without being a kid, your language is just limited.

>Your language is just limited

According to a French university English is by far the most efficient of the major languages, judging by its dominance in every aspect of the entertainment industry, including literature, it also has the broadest possible range.

Attached: Table.jpg (562x438, 62K)

its maybe efficient but its still kinda limited in a lot of ways, especially with gender or plural.

The dominance is because of USA not because of the language itself

can't distinguish between you and you. need to precise the gender when saying cousin or other words.
yeah nice try fuckface,

don't talk with angl*s, always a waste of time.

But it really does flow better when you don't have to repeat the same words, and it gives you more information

Some random meme number doesn't mean much

Calling people a boy or girl if they're not a child is slang

True

wow anglo language is so efficient you stick to images now.

The English language
>5% of all people on earth
>25% of all Nobel Prizes in literature

Truly a limited language

Wrong

most of nobel prizes won in litterature by the anglos were won before the world population increased that much, your correlation is useless.

You know that after a while the bait isn't funny anymore
I refuse to believe Canadian education is so shitty
You are not even an American so it's just annoying at this point

Just because a language is spoken by a lot of people and understood by many, dosen't mean it's an actual good language.

The reason why there's so many Nobel Prize winners that writes in english is because it's easy to shit out and get out to a broad population.

If some fucking bantu dialect had the same relevance as english, 25% of Nobel prizes winners would be writing in that bantu dialect.

It only goes back to 1901, are you saying that English was a much higher percentage of the global population 117 years ago? Most were after 1950, so actually just the last 68 years.
Do you actually think that a disorganised mutt language with no central governing authority spoken by millions on multiple continents for centuries, all the while picking up even more regional variations and borrowing from ever more languages is going to be a limited language?

I used the Nobel because it's supposed to be a measure of quality, not quantity. We know English dominates in quantity.

How is America pushing English in a way that other Anglophone countries aren't? Both the UN and EU officially recognise British English. The map shows which is taught in schools around the world, as you can see the British variant is dominant. As for entertainment, 7 of the top 10 best selling novels are British, a British sport is the most popular globally, the highest grossing film franchise over time is british and the best selling band of all time is British. Pretending that Americans alone dominate the entertainment industry is silly.

yes it was

Forgot map sorry

Yet everyone just goes with American as British teaching is uneffective
Just go in Germany and ask for something in English you will be received witht the American variant rahter than the Britsh

just post a map of countries driving on the left side of the road and you'll see british cultural impact

That's not always true in Germany but I would expect that a country under military occupation by the US to skew towards American English.
I'm guessing over the last 20 years more kids learned English from Harry Potter, One Direction, and Justin Beiber, than from Disney films or cape shit (many of which use British/Aussie/Canadian actors anyway).

>5 + (-0.5 + 3)x20
Jesus Christ is that real?

Not really in Europe everyone use American because vidyas, internet culture and such
British culture is so little it would be not important

The world speak English because of USA when Britain was a superpower people still spoke French once America rose at superpower people started to switch from French to English
It is called cultural egemony

Danes are inferior creatures with tiny brains and have difficulty with concepts such as "six tens" and "consonants" so you should not make fun of them

We were talking about language, not which side of the road people drive on. Don't move the goalposts now. If you want to talk about driving though, I'm guessing a lot more people around the world have watched Britain dominate formula 1 or win the world rally championship 5 times rather than watching fucking NASCAR.

Do other Scandinavian languages do that or just Danish?

It's just us.

just Danish

should be noted though that many Danes aren't even aware of the logic behind it and just memorize the words

I'm giving you clear cultural aspects and you give me meme carsport categories

I don't think driving on one side of the road or the other represents culture. Sports do, but not which side of the road someone drives on. Even if it were, right side driving predates America, in fact Napoléon required right hand driving of carriages and forced it on much of Europe, when cars replaced carriages it just continued over.
Ship traffic is right hand and predates America
Most trains in the world uses left hand service while America is on the right.
