👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑yea it totally does
In 1984 they make a language called newspeak that is so terse and has so few words that it's impossible for people to have certain opinions because they won't be able to justify them
Sarah(FAM/PMS)@👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑 Whoa, it would suck to speak only that language. I've seen videos with Japanese you tubers as they're trying to put Japanese words into English, and it's very hard because not everything has an English word for it.
👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@BMO(Sarah)[THB] yea translating runs into that problem a lot
👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑Even the way we word things changes our perspective.
A poll that stated "Should mothers of small children be home when their children are home?" got mostly positive responses
A poll that said "Should mothers of small children be required to stay home when they have young children?" got mostly negative responses
👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑it's a psychology thing
SerpentineYes!😋
🎩Banter🎩Welsh makes a lot of languages look like a piece of piss
PenPineappleApplePenNo!😑
Serpentine@No!😑🔱THB🔱 Yes!😋
👑MirandaKnowsWhat'sUp👑@🎩Banter🎩 I barely know anything about Welsh besides it's ridiculously difficult
NotoriousNot at all!
NotoriousI mean, I don't think so. ?
noeOne thing I have noticed is that you personality can really change depending on which language you are speaking. I feel like I am more myself when I speak english, which is weird because english is not even my native language.
🎩Banter🎩yeah same
noeWhen I speak german, I am somehow even more anxious than normally. I hate speaking french, because I just really hate the language in general. And when I speak Luxemburgish I feel just like a normal person, but I can't really express myself the way I do when speaking english
SerpentineYea. . . Like how English is very specific with so much expanding vocabulary. . . And some other languages. . . Not so much.
