why is the german 2nd division called 2 bundesliga and not bundesliga 2
>>154236346Somethings wrong with the air and drinking water on your continent
>>1542363462 = zwei = two2. = zweite = secondyes, the dot is important
>>154236346It's not called "2 Bundesliga" it's called "Zweite Bundesliga", literally "second Bundesliga".If you just append a number to the name, that makes it seem like some sort of second instance or a sequel. As if the Bundesliga was over, so we created "Bundesliga 2".
>>154236346Zweites BundesligaSecond BundesligaSegunda BundesligaFunfact: Bundesliga means Federal League in german
It was founded on year 2 a.c.
>>154236346what's to it you?
>>154236346Big fan of the bunda league
It's two leagues. The West teams only play other West teams. Vice versa for East teams. To save fuel costs due to the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz (by Iran, I mean by Trump, he totally blocked it after Iran already blocked it)
>>154236533How does the . Work in relation to a full stop?
>>154239772you just know what is what
>>154239772You can tell them apart based on the rest of the grammar, but it looks like a full stop
>>154239772Ww have two buttons that produce clearly different dots on our keyboards. One makes the . And the other one makes the . Its quite simple once your eyes see the blatant differences.
I'm not a language wizard by any means but do people really have so little understanding of foreign languages? German is not even an obscure language. If you had trouble understanding Danish counting, fair enough, but German?
>>154239772It's a little confusing - not so much with arabic numbers since you can at a glance see if you mean two or second and you don't usually end a sentence with a number (but I sometimes miss the dot). But it's also used in Roman ordinal numbers in the names of kings, so you write for example "war Elisabeth II. Königin" in German (with dot) and it always let me stop.https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_II.
>>154239953This isn't about counting at all though. It's about punctuation, and it's easy not to know how German punctuation differs from English if you've never tried to learn German.
>>154240097you don't need to learn a language to know some little things about it. It's called being educated.
>>154240111He doesnt know that. Asian people dont really get educated. They just hang around in schools a lot and memorize terrabytes of data
>>154240111You're extrapolating the European experience to the rest of the world. It might be commonplace to find random German writing and thus learn small trivia about German if you live in Europe, but the language is not at all prevalent outside of it.And I never said it was impossible to learn trivia about other languages without learning them, I merely said that it was very easy to not know it. I knew what 2. Bundesliga meant before opening this thread. In fact, knew it before I tried dabbling in German. But that's only because I have interest in learning about other languages and cultures, and most people don't usually go out of their way to learn about languages and cultures that they don't directly interact with.>>154240178The funniest thing here is that you're the one just mindlessly parroting information you've been given with zero critical thinking on your part.
>>154240199Bro I needed to carry a total of 36 Asian students through the group projects in my Masters. Most Chinese but some Japanese and Korean. It was rough
>>154240352Having no knowledge nor any interest in your situation, it sounds more like a you problem if you keep getting isolated in group projects.
I knew other languages used dots and stuff from playing Crash Team Racing in different languages
>>154239953>92
>>154240424Incredible clapback
>>154239953French is a mess: soixante-dix, septante, quatre-vingts, octante (archaic/dialect), huitante, quatre-vingts-dix and nonante.
>>154236533is it world war 2 or world war 2 full stop?
>>154240672We dont say Weltkrieg 2. We say der zweite Weltkrieg. Or Der 2. Weltkrieg.
>>154240664It's a pleb filter
>>1542406722nd world war aka 2. Weltkrieg

>>1542365331. FC Köln = first fußball Ƙlub Ķeuln?
>>154236533its the same here. i always assumed that was obvious in all languages
>>154241267Yes (although they're not the oldest club from Köln)
>>154236346They also have a club called 1 FCK. I wonder if their reserve team is called 2 FCKs.
>>154236533then why is it not called zweitesliga
>>154241281we use roman numerals.I Lyga, II Lyga etc.
>>154241692Only „Zweite Liga“ is correct German, as Liga is female and has „die“ as its article. And it’s usually called that way informally. But the league has the right to call itself „Bundesliga“ like the first tier, these two have a different administrative status than the third tier, which is just called „Dritte Liga“ (Or 3. Liga) both formally and informally
>>154241676Autistically explaining obvious jokes without any need, a German tradition:The 1. thing in club names is often ignored, clubs named themselves like that to flex with their status. Or claim status. Either as the oldest club or the biggest club and true representative. Kaiserslautern‘s reserve is therefore (1.) FC Kaiserslautern II
>>154241798what about gundesliga
>>154241823Gund is an Old High German word for „battle“, struggle, and so onIt would be a fitting term sometimes
