What is the best West Germanic language and why?
No brit would ever say 'designated driver'
>>220507680>Ik ben de BOB
>>220507957What do you say then?
>>220508164probably just something like 'I'll drive us, so i won't drink much'.people would look at you weird if you said designated driver
>>220507969In Holland, when you enter the car back home after the party, the guests will look the driver in the eye and ask him>Kunnen wij dat schaffen?Where he then has to respond to the applause of the guests>Ja, wij schaffen dat!!
>>220508692INCREDIBLE
English. No, it's not my personal bias.>regardless of the country of origin, most of the best songs are sung in english>dutch singing just sounds fucking hilarious

>>220508740English is honorarily LatinX. Can hardly be considered a Germanic language.
>>220507969>>220508692
>>220508867english is a synthesis of romance and germanic languages, which is why it succeeded so well as interlingua

>>220507680Yiddish.
>>220508596I'm surprised that you'd repeat the same long phrase instead of adopting a shorter term. Is it that the concept just doesn't come up much because most people live in walking distance of their local pub?
>>220510264The English "th" is not a sequence of T and H, it's an entirely different sound (the same as the Spanish C or Z as pronounced in most of Spain), it's just written with two letters.
>>2205151201. The so-called 'French' language takes its name from a Germanic people whose Old Frankish tongue was mutually intelligible with Old English2. 'Vocabulary' doesn't come from French LOL
>>220524806Why?
>>220524959>language>mutually >intelligible All the refined concepts are latinx. Bow the fuck down
>>220526102It's just so soulful. Americans, especially New Yorkers, regularly dip into Yiddish because there are things you just can't express with the same impact in English. Not just words, but grammatical constructions- "I should be so lucky", "eat your heart out", "enough with the"...
