Things can get lost in translation auto translations tho, so I reckon the UN will still be hiring SeemsGood | ||
edgewalker69 |
But what is interesting is when you learn of concepts which only exist in that language | ||
elnur009 |
I wish everyone threw their local languages and just talk english :( | ||
elnur009 |
why do we need hundreds of languages | ||
edgewalker69 |
Where is our resident linguistic expert when we need him, alfy? DansGame | ||

@elnur009 Because of culture | ||
mr_sleaze |
this is america, speak english | ||
elnur009 |
@boxman600 we need hundreds of langiuages cos of culture? WutFace | ||
boxman600 |
@elnur009 People don't want \"their\" culture | ||
boxman600 |
people get upset when stuff goes away | ||
elnur009 |
@boxman600 I didn't say \"why there are lot of languages\", I said \"why do we need\" | ||
elnur009 |
bro you always complicate stuff NotLikeThis | ||
ilikecakeyo |
I feel you dawg. | ||
boxman600 |
@elnur009 People \"need\" because they feel attached to it. Just like a fat person needs to have a soda | ||
boxman600 |
Exactly Xcom | ||
boxman600 |
Yup | ||
elnur009 |
yeah language makes them feel unique, special | ||
elnur009 |
it's so dumb imo | ||
boxman600 |
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about that exact situation... | ||
boxman600 |
For Dune, they made a new language... | ||

Think of this, in Danish we have the concept of \"hygge\", which is sorta like cozy, but the word dosnt quite cover it. It is a state mind achieved in a cozy environment. | ||
elnur009 |
it's crazy, there is a language in my country that is disappearing, and people are whining about it NotLikeThis | ||
edgewalker69 |
So because you do not have this word, you live your whole life without knowing of \"hygge\" WutFace | ||
elnur009 |
-1 language is really good for me | ||
ohshuxks |
Kaar plahh | ||
edgewalker69 |
Or maybe you have experienced this state of mind, but because there is no word for it, you cannot recreate it | ||
elnur009 |
even if english was only language, I am sure people would create crazy dialects to feel special Kappa |
