18 cases

IIRC they use affixes instead of cases.

to have less prepositions/postpositions/particles

I learned a bit of Hungarian, I love how you can convey so much information in one single word

>postpositions
I think technically they are, they just write them together

has anyone figured out if there is a benefit to utilizing cases rather than word order and smaller words like prepositions, adverbs, articles etc

>nocasetugal

it looks better and is more useful for rhyming at least

>being a caselet
finna cringe @ europoors

Cases of fucking what? Hantavirus? Gypsy gangrapes? Vampirism? Because I can totally picture at least three shitfaced drunk Irish vampires fucking shit up too

>shows fenno-swedish areas
>doesn't show meanmää finnish speakers

shit map

i agree that it does look better but didn't really consider how it could be taken advantage of in a lyrical form. could this be just because you're used to it?

Verb cases can allow you to omit the noun.

example?

I am based. = "Eu sou baseado." But you can omit the noun and just write "Sou baseado.", like "Am based."

>the only non-Indo-European languages are red
>Even the Basque
Makes you think, doesn't it

This has more to do with different verb conjugation

Haha what a coincidence that Bulgarian and the distinct and unique language of Macedonia both have 2 cases.

it is interesting. i wonder why the non-indo-european languages developed that way, even in such proximity to the indo-european languages.

Brainlet here. Shouldn't English have three cases as well? Or is this about gender?

The islands and ostrobothnia are not included, in the rest of the swedish speaking parts there are like at least 40% of finnish speakers so seems fine to me

I guess they only count it when it changes nouns, in English it only affects some pronouns

Could be analyzed as three or none technically.

Many such cases

>7 cases

we wish. the remnants of the english case system are found in pronouns and their relation to the verb that follows them eg. "i am/you are/he is", other than that, there is no case system, the relationship between words in a sentence/phrase simply depends on word order.

How come Estonia is so different from the other baltic countries? I taught they all have more or less the same language.

Estonian is an Ugro-Finnic language

They're pretty easy and regular
Most of them used to be postpositions that gradually got attached to the end of the noun for some reason
The longer ones stayed separate like 'alatt' (under), 'nélkül' (without)
So like 'jég alatt' (under ice) is still separate but 'jégen' (on ice) isn't

I do not get why these maps shows always those ”swedish” parts of the country. Åland is the only swedish part of Finland. Only some hillbilly-tier villages with a population 100 has swedish majority

We have nothing to do with those tatars

Just think of them as postpositions in the form of affixes. Hungarian doesn't have genders and I believe the cases only apply to nouns so I feel like even the german case system is more complex.

linguistic maps always tend to exagerate minorities because otherwise they would be invisible.

and pronouns
but what else can have cases?

both real words

>0 cases
>doesn't even get a cool color, has to settle for gay ass gray
Why, the English-speaking world?

adjectives, articles, numerals, determiners, etc.

Bulgarian have no cases.

Those have cases? I thought their gender just had to be matched

here's an example for german articles. Both case and gender have to be matched.

You can express more complex ideas with cases if that's what you mean

>but what else can have cases?
everthing, but verbs and prepostions

Right well technically adjectives and everything else can take the same case endings as nouns when they behave like nouns as in "the long one" or things like that but they don't have to match the noun when they are in front of them as determiners

You don't really need to learn them all to be able to speak.
