Hm. Well, in the beginning, we talked about IPA and such, and we've been talking about how different languages have phonological and morphological changes. Phonological would be like...how we pronounce the "t" in "top" and "stop" differently. Morphological would be, say, adding re- to -ject vs adding -ful to beauti-; in the first case, -ject cannot stand alone as a word, while beauti- can in the form "beauty".
Stuff like that. |
Sounds rather different, and potentially complex if one doesn't pay atttention well enough. (which would be me. xD)
I can't imagine a japanese version of that class. -twitches- |
Why not?
|
I don't know. xD Just imagining someone trying to learn japanese and do that at the same time.
/random But I DO guess it's probably a lot harder for an English class, considering the English language. :p |
Oh hi Espy.
Vincent. Im just watching a shoe called The Tribe |
Actually, it is really difficult for all Germanic languages. Japanese is not related to any other language, at least not in spoken form. Sure, it draws from Chinese and Korean, but the three aren't in the same group of languages. And it's based purely fixed phonemes (so like, each written character produces one sound), so I think there's a lot less of the, say, t's sounding like d's or flaps, or stops, or such, among other common problems.
|
Must be a very unique shoe. o_o /gets shot
XD jk. And never heard of that one o.o Is it good? What's it like? |
Germanic languages? Why do you say that?
Hm. Well if you put it that way then yeah I guess it wouldn't be too bad. And if you put it that way, germans words + that = holy hell. XD |
Germanic languages don't just include German, you know...
And like, I'm not well-versed in Germanic languages. But English does that, so I'm assuming quite a few Germanic languages have the same problem. |
o-o I'm ascertaining that german is the main language of 'german'ic languages though? XD
Ah. X: Well yeah they probably do. I couldn't imagine speaking German though. XD It's just so... rough. XD That coming from my mouth would be a furball of a bunny running around cussing everywhere. XD |
|
Sounds like a robotic german language o:
xD Well. Okay then. XD... Do you speak any other languages besides English btw? O: |
Hm...I speak and understand plenty of Mandarin, but maybe not the more...scholarly stuff, some Spanish...I can understand a large part (but not enough to constitute "most") of daily Taiwanese...
If you give me basic written stuff in certain Germanic and Romance languages, I could probably puzzle out the approximate meanings from cognates. |
Ah. Then that's pretty awesome. xD You ever think about visiting/living in the places where mandarin or taiwanese is spoken? x3
Sounds pretty awesome. XD Did you learn it all in middle/high school or college or was it just self-taught?~ |
-cries-
Five seasons. 52 episodes per season. And the finished it without tying up loose ends. D; And the spin off series revolves around a totally different group of people, years later. D; And i cant find the first episode. :c |
o_O So like 260 episodes. Damn. Well I imagine it would be pretty hard to tie up all the loose ends in that many episodes, so. XD Yeahh...
Ah. /: That sucks. But at least it's in the same setting thing. XD Of the new one? o.o Is it even out yet or is it still planned to come out? o-o |
Well this series ended nearly a decade ago.
Im not sure when the spin off came out. But alas. The only way to get over a show, is to stock up on new ones. .-. Hmm. Im thinking Dexter. |
Lmao. XD If that's the only way to get over a show then it's like a never ending spiral of shows. o_o'
And wow. So I'd think it'd came out by now, but who knows, things take a long while sometimes in the tv world. XD I tried Dexter, wasn't too excited about it but you might be, who knows. x3 Oh oh, Uh. Criminal Minds is kinda intersting. Sorta like NCIS without the navy/military I guess... |
I am already caught up on Criminal Minds.
I forget what season its currently on, but i watched all season up until i believe the last one in less than three months. I always have at least five to ten shows each season of the year. Most are current shows. Some of them have been over for awhile now. The ones i watch that have ended, pinch at me cause they ended, and i have to pile on more shows. xD Im weird okay. Im like this with books too. |
Ah. xD Well. Damn. XP
I forget what season I'm on too but I think I've seen a decent bit of it. XD Wow. XD That's... alot. It's a wonder you can remember everything. o_o' With all those shows... Don't you get mixed up sometime? XD Psh. I'm weird too. BI Wow... XD So you're pretty busy huh. |
Not really all the busy.
And no, i dont get mixed up |

Spanish was a middle-/high-school thing. Mandarin and Taiwanese are from my parents. |
@ Titanic ;
It sounds like it would be, but then again I don't bother with too much tv stuff. XD Just watch random seasons here and there. x3 I'm probably like you with that, with games. XD @ Espy ; Oh that sounds awesome :3 But yeah. x.x Doesn't sound like a place I'd want to live in either. XD Ah. o-o Sounds interesting. You find instances to speak all the different languages or stuff here and there about daily life or so? :3 |
Sigh.
Hopefully its a good day at work |
My personal goal: know every language in my library, and some.
(Actually, know everything in my library period, and some) |

-pets you-
Hello |
-purrs- =w=
Your manors getting some nice activity in it. XD Already on page 5~ :3 |
Thats different.
Activity is going good when you're already on page five. xD So you prefer kitties over pups? |
Lmao. xD Different is good~
It is. XD /so proud. ;~; I perfer pups over kitties. x: Got scratched one too many times for cats to perfer to have one anymore. /: (coughs, purrfer. XD) |
I like both.
Sadly im allergic to the kitties though. D; |
Aw. :c
Well at least you like both so you can still have a pet you like. XD Has there ever been anyone allergic to dogs? o.0 I can't remember XD |
Im sure there has.
xD |
Hmm
But there's more people allergic to cats so HA dogs win. BI Puppies are cute and defensive of their owners and playful anyway. x3 /sobiased. XD |
But kitties are cute as fuck.
And they snuggle. c: |
Titanic changed her avatar o:
Rather loveyl. x3 Almost like harlequin or a jester. XD And yeah they may be but puppies are cute too and they snuggle. XD Idk all cats seem is they want you to serve them, where dogs are all happy to see you come home. XD |
Not all cats are like that.
Just most of the internet ones. xD Thanks. I get bored of my avatars easily. Unless its one i love |
xD Well I guess I don't really have alot of real life cat experience besides the one's of friend's that I've met that like to scratch anything with their claws. x~x I havn't met a good cat yet. XD
And and but its the internet ones that everyone seems to LOVE D8 I don't get it. Haha I'm the same here. x3 I kinda like my current one so I'm gunna try to stick with it. XD |
