then how do you apologize or excuse yourselves?
But we have "snälla" and "tack"?
Nothing. English is so great that even third worlders can learn it.
can't think of any right now but english in general is a much richer language than hebrew, we don't have words like defenstration, evisceration etc.
Wasn't Hebrew a dead language only used for religious rituals prior to the creation of the Israeli state?
I can't imagine the levels of collective autism needed to reconstruct and revive a dead language to be used as native language for a whole country. Wouldn't that end up creating a language poor in vocabulary and expressions? Genuinely impressed that it worked at all.

still going on about this somali larp?
i knew you were full of shit on your maid post.
yeah it was only revived at the end of 19th century, but i don't think the language itself is poor in vocabulary and expressions, on a contrary, we have of shitloads of expressions/idioms from the bible itself, it's just that we don't have many of the words that english has and have to use for example instead of "defenstration", "zrika mehahalon" which literally translates to "throwing out the windo"
we also have words that english doesn't have like "mahar" which in english would be "the day after tomorrow"
I've been trying to get my gf not to apologize for everything all the time so I am going to tell her this.
We don't miss anything, actually most other languages miss something that we have, since most languages just have one verb for "to be" like English, instead of two, like Spanish, which give the language a lot of subtle differences.
Is that true? Wtf
I just started taking Persian this quarter and they have astan (to be), hastan (to exist) and nistan (to NOT be - this is its own verb) so far. P nifty.
no larps here
post black hand
Cope
We have no genitive and no imperfect.
I recently started eating Somali food and it's fucking good. Fucking medieval looking chunks of roast meat smothered in onions and shit, nothing groundbreaking really, just good-old fashioned delicious, but murrican food doesn't usually look like this anymore.
"cuck", unironically
he is proven
born in UK apparently and for some reason is back in his homeland
Do you have words for counting?
"please"
This is sort of an oddly specific thing to have a single word for tbqh lol. I think it was a Roman thing originally.
same, is it even a thing outside english?
Doesn't it come from the cuckoo bird that lays eggs in other birds' nest and throws the original ones away?
according to google there are indeed somali words for please and sorry

why would he lie if hes not a larp
I like that you too have a domestic word for electricity
well that's because its french words
In Spanish we have "ser" and "estar", both are translated as "to be" but means different things.
based
>"mahar" which in english would be "the day after tomorrow"
Yeah we call that "i övermorgon". "Tomorrow" would be "i morgon".
sorry had a brainfart, "mahar" is tomorrow, "maharataim" is the day after that
I thought it was bajakha/i and aytehazeley
Yes and they are original
It’s not a larp. The closest aproximation to “I’m sorry” in Somali is something along the lines of “I am bad because of it”
why would this matter? in german you'd say "tut mir leid" which literally means "gives me pain" but it still translates as "sorry"
Good, they are meaningless anyway
"Fadlan" is an Arabic word that 80% of speakers won't understand you if you say
I've never heard anyone say whatever the hell that was for 'sorry'
chad language excusing and asking something nicely is cuck behavior
