>I thought you add -n to express possession? I used -a to say "some pie" The original sentence was "baked a pie" so it means one pie, right? In that case it's "piirakan" but if the original sentence was "baked pie" then it would be "piirakkaa"
>Tämä kahvi on todella hyvä. hyvää* >Voimmeko on laskun? voisimmeko saada laskun?
Liam Reed
Ok, some issues here. "Langue" is feminine, so it's "la meilleure langue", not "le meilleur langue". And it's "européenne", not "europée".

We already have Bulgarian, so it's fine. Complaining about having not having Macedonian while having Bulgarian is like complaining about not having Norwegian when you have Swedish.
If you're only learning it as a hobby (and not for any serious reason) then learning the other will be fine. Since they're very similar and the speakers of one language will generally understand the other.
>Pashto is FSI difficulty level 4 >Arabic is level 5 How is Pashto easier to learn than Arabic?
Luke James
Same language family. Also note that difficulty is as rated by hours required by americans to reach proficiency to I don't remember what level.
Jackson Morgan
Afghan girls are cuter than Arabs, and desire to fuck them impels one to be more studious in learning the language
Luke White
But beautiful

>almost no resources to learn it >almost impossible to find native speakers that aren't braindead pothead migrants >very few media >retardedly complicated grammar >umm akshually it was the same language 10 000 years ago so it's easier than the fourth most spoken language in the world sounds retarded based
Bentley Myers
FSI is a weird scale, it's was meant for intelligence people like spies and they were tutored intensively. So if Pashto is easier than Arabic, there's a reason behind that, something like that "some words are closely related to ancient greek, so some cognates with english really mean the same thing".
Elijah Baker
None of that matters when you're a diplomat receiving official training and all the learning material is provided for you
Carson Allen
Like brazilanon said, this scale assumes proper drilling by competent teachers, not average joe who has to find his own resources and speakers
Michael Diaz
Why do people care about this very case-specific classification then?
Oliver Rivera
>カードを払いますか? This translates more literally to "Can/will you pay the card?" or something along those lines because with を you're making カード the direct object of 払う You're better off saying something like 「カードでいいですか」 - "Is (paying) by way of credit card good?" or 「カードは使えますか」 - "As for credit card, can use?"
Jackson Nguyen
It's something tangible, gives a feel of how difficult the language is. It may not be very accurate but it's pretty good for what it is.
Nicholas Powell
Because it's the closest we have to an objective standard of language difficulty, from the pov of an anglo native at least.
Tyler Diaz
Because they ignore its context
Hudson Gomez
Hardly qualifies as autism, it only took two days and it's terribly incomplete
Anyone else on that intense input grind? It's too much fun - I get to watch the news, read fiction, and watch movies all guilt free because I'm learning a language
