Slovenian does in fact have the definite article in its vernacular varieties true to its long exposure to Lower German, tho the fact remains controversial

Articles are a sign of a language losing morphology. Slavic languages have rich morphology with a complex case system, so no articles needed. Bulgarian lost its morphology and is the only Slavic language without cases. Latin doesn’t have articles, but has cases, yet Romance languages are the opposite.
>but what about German
it’s currently in some weird intermediate state and the case system is slowly dying out, eg the genitive case is colloquially replaced with the von + dative construction.

wow, english so unique! did you know english has conjugation?
>>
>>225548516
no one knows that, we just have different words and some suffixes and prefixes. no english native has ever heard of conjugation unless they take up languagefagging as a hobby
>>
>>225546834
Imagine thinking that's a feature

Inflected languages are CRINGE

>>225548516
I constantly hear ESL’s say “English tenses are soooo hard :(“
>>
>>225546834
That's some retarded shit invented by gigafaggots (known as grammarians) in the late 19th century
>>
>>225547476
most of that is of romance origin though. like easily more than half. pretty sure they even have more vocab borrowed from greek than native germanic words.

Argentinians use it since they are beyond cucked

>>225547445
It's a bit redundant desu
>"I have had to run errands in the past"
>"I had to run errands in the past"
I get that the top works for a different context, but people know what you mean through if the bottom was used
