yeah it makes English very weird sometimes for me lol, but oh well

You and me both lol

English is a weird conglomeration of Germanic and Latin itself I think? That's why some is similar but most isn't and it overall makes 0 sense

you guys stole and bastardized a shit ton of latin words yes, it makes it confusing when not used the same ways or mixed with Germanic words. its hard to explain though the differences in sentence structure. you guys also shockingly have a lot less words for things, or a lot of words that mean multiple things. that shit is maddening lol

 

[Canadian Dragon]

fwiw latin countries also have bastardized english words too now

 

[Chris]

I mostly remember Spanish sentence structure from school so I know those differences lol

 

[Jay-Ashley]

The best thing about Spanish that you leave out three or so words and the sentence still be correct and makes sense.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

French is complicated too tho fwiw, so many stupid exceptions and like 20 ways to conjugate stuff

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Spanish I know very little but it actually seemed pretty simple and intuitive

Y'all wanna see the best sentence in English history?

Is it the Buffalo sentence?

 

[Jay-Ashley]

Hey! I got it right lmao

 

[Chris]

For Spanish I mostly just remember some common phrases and a lot of random translations so I can't understand sentences at all but I can usually pick up enough words to get the gist

 

[Chris]

Especially if I have context

 

[Chris]

Like when wrestlers cut promos in Spanish and I already can guess what they'll probably be saying anyway lol
