>in the accusative only masculine words change form others stay the same >no logical way to determine the gender of a noun you just have to memorize them individually Who invented this fucking language
>>200127482It's funny when the get autistic about foreigners making mistakes when the whole language was designed like a prank.
Language learning is a psyop. We were never meant to speak foreign languages, language in general was created to facilitate communication within a tribe but kike merchants began learning foreign languages to act as middlemen in commerce with other tribes
>>200127482>>200127482>>no logical way to determine the gender of a noun you just have to memorize them individuallyits very easy actually. because when you make neologisms you take the gender of the last noun. so in the end its just a few nouns that you remember.die Straßenbahn -> die Bahndie Straßenampel -> die Ampeldas Toastbrot -> das Brotdas Butterbrot -> das Brotdas Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz -> das Gesetzetc etc>>200127570imbecile
>>200127482The colors of the German flag are the colors of alchemical transmutation in Hermetic magic.
>>200127482It's right when it sounds right
>>200127632Nutella?
>das Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
>>200127674yes, das Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz.my point is that even comically long words can easily be gendered if you know the few base-words
>>200127640Das
Honestly once you learn the language long even you just get a feel for what gender things should be. There are a few rules that govern the genders of words such as certain endings like -keit/heit, mus, chen and so on. Most words ending with e are feminine, unless it's a weak masculine noun :^)
>>200128090DIE Nutella
You can still guess the gender of a noun like 80% of the time. Around 90% of words ending in -e are feminine, most words starting with Ge- are neuter, all words ending in -chen are neuter without exception, etc.
>>200127482The gendered thing is unironically not the worst part, once you do enough Ankigooning sessions you develop a sort of instinct for it and are able to get the gender right 90% of the time. That real asskicker for me rn are separable verb prefixes (ansehen, anhaben, anziehen, etc...) and fucking irregular conjugations for tenses.
>>200127632This.
>>200128569>Gedanke>Starts with Ge and ends with e >Is masculine Problem German learners?
>>200128714Yes that's one of the nine German irregular nouns alongside Glaube, Friede, etc. Any good German book will tell you about these exceptions thoughbeit, same with "weak" masculine German nouns like der Affe. The hints with word prefixes and suffixes just make memorising these exceptions much easier.
>>200127482nobody invents a language, it slowly evolves through time while getting influenced by other languages, Romanian and German share an ancestral language btw, PIE which had a lot more complex system of inflections than German or Romanian
>>200128960what about constructed languages (conlangs) tho?
>>200128960Pretty sure that's what they did with standard Italian.
>>200127613>RindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetzI used to make mad fun of Germans for saying shit like this, then I finally started learning German and interacting with Germans more and now I totally get the idea. It's fucking ridiculous but it makes sense.And yeah it's more difficult than other languages but you eventually get the hang of it and start to declense naturally after a while. Like everyone was a baby and learned to speak their own language at some point, it just gets in with habit.
>>200128960>>200130412PIE is not understood and actually known, it's reconstructed (and annotated specifically) because it was probably completely anarchic. That's what "proto-" alludes to in this context, not just "comes before" but also "loosely constructed".
>>200130672personally I like neologisms. It shows me that its ONE WORD. Brits will write sports event and you will have to decipher that these two words are meant to have only one meaning (instead of Sportveranstaltung where its clearly visibile that you mean Sport + Veranstaltung)
>>200127570>We were never meant to speak foreign languagesSo you knew already polish when you were born?
>>200132157That's too German of you though, we say "évènement sportif" too. But also I studied philosophy, mostly German philosophy so I know it's not the same way of crafting ideas. Before that I was totally repulsed by the German way of thinking.Can't tell what made me open to the language but I guess it was philosophy, and I know until you have tried doing philosophy from another civilsation you can't possibly imagine how important languages are for ideas. I think it's fascinating, if I wasn't a poor schizo I would have studied further in this way.
This insane language have words like Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterbeutelrattenlattengitterkofferattentäterhttps://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterbeutelrattenlattengitterkofferattent%C3%A4ter
>>200130583Standard Italian is just the Florentine dialect that Dante wrote the Divine Comedy in, IIRC
>wasting your time learning this linguistic dead-end when everyone in this thread already understands the greatest of all Germanic languages
>>200127482is there one language with a logical way of determining a noun's gender?
>>200133004Bulgarian :)>99% of words that end in consonants are masculine>99% of words ending in -a or -ya are feminine>99.9% of words that end in -o or -e are neuter
