I’m taking German on duolingo and my mum is taking Latin and sometimes we speak sentences that we learn to each other which leads to some funny moments.
Me: “hast du einen Mahn?” (Do you have a husband)
Mum: “Minime sum femina.” (No I’m a woman)

Wait French grammar is close to Spanish????
Oh man
I think I officially tagged out when we got to the conjugation of verbs in indirect speech. I had Spanish in school and I was fine before that and then it just got wayyyy too much
lmaoooo rip anon
yeah French/Italian/Spanish/I think Portugese too? and a few others latin language, are all built on the same latin root logistic so the grammar works very similarly.
i picked on Italian in middle school but it's more the vocabulary that never stuck, and i picked up Spanish at uni, but same, didn't really stick.
though it means also i can somewhat read Spanish/Italian ahah
Like, English is simpler in term of just writing/grammar. (English's real challenge for Latin rooted language is the fact it's a tonal language, compared to French that's syllabic. Means English's accentuation of the words tend to focus on one syllab as the center of the word to pronounce but the rest will be muted. But that's also something i know English speakers don't realize, hell, i didn't realize either until i started to study English Linguistic and suddenly it made sense why, if you're from a language with more focus on syllabic, English comes off way harder. Point is that the real challenge for a Latin rooted language will be more on prononciation than on grammar. ) So it is easier to pick up when you don't have a native english background, but English to other language will be more challenging.
Conjugaison in French/Spanish/Italian follow similar logistic even in term of how many exceptions you have to remember. mostly because we slap everything on the suffix of the word. English will use modal words to mark various level of intentions, except in past tense. And in French/Spanish/Italian the suffix are also influenced by which pronoun is used (in Italian at least there's also the fact you can drop the pronoun all together if the verb is clear enough in its conjugaison about who you're talking about). And there's also the whole "the language is inherently more gendered so any attempt at a neutral comes with its lot of problem to discuss".
ironically despite being called Latin languages, this specific conjugaison rule doesn't apply to Latin itself, which has the same basis as German: the suffix aren't influenced by the pronouns, but by the role the word has in a sentence.
I picked up a bit of latin in middle school, didn't stick as well but i remember this sticking out.
English is just.... drastically simpler in the sense that conjugaison is stripped to its bare minimum and the pronouns use will do the heavy lifting in a different way. It's just that English is also working on difficult phonetic rules that aren't instinctive to follow, but yeah.
so yeah. rip you anon o7

So when does french actually use "on"? I was taught back in school that it's equivalent to the german "man" which we basically use as a passive third passive singular kinda like "one shouldn't do that" (which obviously english doesn't use much but it exists)
But I'm now doing the duolingo french course from english and there they consistently translate "on" with "we". In some sentences both versions make sense, but I just got "Ils savent qu'on va en Australie" which the english translation "they know we're going to Australia" makes sense but the translation I learned back in school for this would be smth like "they know, one goes to Australia" (or "sie wissen, dass man nach Australien geht*)
Which.... Is a completely different meaning that doesn't make a lot of sense like "one goes to Australia"? What? Is that just a common thing one does? Would only make sense for like, idk if this is about middle class germans doing a gap year after high school, bc yeah sure there going to Australia sure is a common thing to do
But if my french teacher was wrong and it's actually always "we" then... When do I use "nous" and when "on"?
Languages are confusing and I am doing three way translations here trying to make sense of everything, it's hard lmao

Have I already told you that I'm a total language freak? 😅
Since March 2021, I'm learning Spanish on Duolingo daily, and I have some Spanish-speaking friends with whom I can practice my language skills, which is very helpful.
In 2022, I decided to brush up on my French as well. I studied it in Business College about ten years ago, but didn't really have the opportunity to practice it afterward, so I forgot a lot. 😟
Since my French seems to be better than I thought, and I'm making progress with my Spanish as well, I've started with Indonesian now. It's the language I want to learn most of all because I have a weakness for all things Indonesia.
And when I have a bit of time left, I dabble in Chinese and Dutch. But just for fun. I tried to learn them before but forgot the most.
As I said, I'm a total language freak ... 😂
PS: English is my second language, btw. My first is German.
PPS: In case you wanna be friends on Duolingo, my handle is queerintrovert 😊

holy shit sina ken toki e so many fucking languages
i applaud you
ah, well, so about that. most of the languages in that list are supposed to be crossed out ! back when I made my blog you could do a few html things in the blog description, but it doesn't show up anymore, especially not on the app/mobile. so now it just looks like a long list of languages which is a bit misleading
I am definitely interested in all those languages, and have taken a few classes or self-studied most of them over the years, but I definitely don't speak all of them
should probably be edited/updated, but I'm not even sure I'd still remember how to do that...

ok in your fanfic you mentioned Marius can’t read, is that canon or fanon or???
Had to ask @rainbowstargazerlilies about this, cause she started using it in her Lyf fic and I just nabbed it from her
Apparently it’s fanon! The idea is that he’s able to read his home planet’s language, but has refused to learn how to read or write any others.
I believe in the Lyf fic it’s mentioned that he also refuses to teach his native language to any of the other mechs (which may play into some plot points later on >:D)
