To think that a language is "my language" and another language is "your language" is as retarded as an Estonian saying that the bench press is his exercise, and him telling a German to stick to doing deadlifts. (The bench press was invented in Estonia and the deadlift in Germany.) Or like a Greek person thinking that the Pythagorean theorem is Greek. Language is nothing more than ideas and muscle movements.

>>25322831Idiotic and pretentious. Your first language first formed your cognition and comes most natural as the extension of thinking even in a pre-cognitive thinking level (as in, even the wordless flashes of thought first lend themselves to your "mother tongue" like a natural reflex). You learn other languages by reshaping the code of your first language, in that sense your understanding of other abstractions is filtered and formed by this first abstraction, to say nothing of accents.Another thing, your language is built to fit your culture, the customs you are most accustoemd to. You may think that cultural concepts may become inherently cosmopolitan once spread enough, and the examples you give indeed do, as their application is universal and their introduction to anyone, even someone from their original culture, is always kinda cosmopolitan. I invite you to live in a different country and see if your reflexive adherence to customs doesn't give you a cavalcade of culture shocks, even if mostly minor. These customs have formed you as a person in more ways, and ways more insidious than you think and their most organic form of communicating is your first language.
>>25325618No such thing as "your culture". Culture is culture. Culture is not about whether you eat battered cod or hot dogs for lunch, this is just the brainwashed anglophone conception of culture, not what culture is, culture is refinement of the spirit.this is not culturehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4QnalIHlVcthis is culturehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruV4V5mPwW8
>>25325618Nonsense. I know a guy who forgot Spanish after moving to America.
Language isn't as simple as lifting a weight. This is why people don't understand the profoundness of speaking and writing. Also, why are you still making threads on this?
hahahahahahahahaha. very funny OP. very good!

>>25325652Your faggotty affectations of pretending to like classical music to the applause of absolutely nobody is not what he means by culture.If you compare the stereotypical german robot and their incapacity to tell a joke or cross the empty street if the lights are red to the average southern european (or south american colonized by them) and their inherent indulgence, sloth, naps in the middle of the day and ferocious extroversion you'll come to understand what culture is. Even if you don't think you are similar to these people around you, they have shaped you in more ways than you imagine, and language IS a part of that.
