Its Czech. Its even funnier than Turkish. Its for me like you englishmans would take english, add few funny sounding letters, change meaning of few words to opposite and pronounce in a very funny, mocking way.


How about Polish then?

And certainly it does. Roll

What do you call an elderly person from Spain?
Señor citizen. Big smile


Wait til I pick my jaw from the keyboard after falling out from laughing so much... Blink

Here's a little puzzle for you:

I don't speak Turkish.

I never had heard Turkish spoken before.

I met a Turkish guy called Oguç. He had grown used to being called "Hugo" in Spain since his name was unpronounceable to Spaniards, as we don't have any sound like that of "g" in "Oguç"

So he told us how to pronounce it and said it once, and only once.

And then I pronounced his name perfectly without even thinking on how to make that sound. It just exited my vocal chords as if I had been pronouncing it my whole life. Even now, I can easily produce that sound which doesn't exist in any language I speak (I don't speak Turkish!).

It's a mistery. Blink


The letter is "ğ". Which we call "soft g" when referring to it.It can't be used or pronounced on its own.Only in a word. Maybe your ancestors were Turkish? Who knows? Big smile

Praise your vocal chords. Turkish sounds funny to me. It sounds like some kind of made up language made by 5 year old in comparison with mine. It have funny melody and funny sounds. Sorry, I cant help it. Its just this slight similarity with the way sounds are pronounced combined with perceived complete randomness.

Lubu kulili makaku kabalak makilu. Gili gili makak lulak liki kikusajak. Just made it up.


It's alright.Many people here find foreign languages funny too.The tragic thing when I was in elementary school was teachers were trying to brainwash us with nonsense and lies like "Turkish is the easiest language to learn for an outsider." , "Everyone wants to be a Turk.". "The whole world worships Mustafa Kemal Atatürk."

Funny thing is, it can be the funniest language on the world, and I am unable to perceive it that way, because it was my first and sounds native, completely normal to me.


LordOdysseus, I once found a childs notebook from elementary school from time when Josef Stalin still lived. Notebook was hidden in coffer in partially ruined barn that stood in abandoned farm. There were notes from the language class. All what was there, were literally peans praising Josef Stalin as the greatest man in the world. Literally he was described there like a soviet era superhero.

Well, Turkish language is the easiest one to learn for an outsider... If that outsider's native tongue belongs to the Turkic group. For an Indo-European or Ugro-Finnic speaker it is barely distinguishable from Orcish. And, I guess, it's the same vice versa.

How humans see foreign languages seems to be a matter of habit. For example, when I was a child, I spent a few years in Prague and got used to hearing, reading and understanding Czech everywhere, so I see little funny in it; it's just one more slavic language.

But when I later met some Slovaks, their speech gave me an impression of some distorted, rural dialect of Czech with silly sounds in all the wrong places. I am sure that if I had spent those years in Bratislava instead of Prague, it would be the opposite.

It's the same with america, as a native oregonian I spent my life with people who were able to string together grammatically correct words and phrases with little issue. Then I traveled to South Carolina on vacation and regretted it. They used English words but I'm a form of dialect that could only be compared to stuffing a cotton ball in your mouth and reciting the alphabet using hexadecimal

It's also really funny that all the random people from across the world who try to communicate in bastardized English often find out that they understand each other much better than a native Englishman.

I caught myself many times thinking that it's much easier to decipher what the Finns, Germans and Russians try to say in English on teamspeak than follow a FC from UK. Especially if he turns out to be Scottish or Welsh!

Yes,I was going to say it but it slipped from my mind.

As an accent-neutral speaker, all accents sound equally funny to me!

Well, to Spaniards, slavic languages and languages influenced by them like Romanian or Albanian sound like they're continuously btiching. That is a vey strong factor in why those inmigrants are despised in Spain (other than being poor), since their very language is mildly irritating to listen to. "Hello, boo hoo, my name, boo hoo, is Ibitchalot, boo hoo". On the opposite, Romanian people think that Spanish is a rude language, with "rrrs" which make Russian sound mild, and our "j" sounds to them like we're clearing our throat each time we make that sound.

I think that some of them may in fact be constantly bitching. Like when you know these people will not know what you are talking about and you know you can express your frustrations vocally without anyone around you knowing.

What are advantages of posting them there, not here?
You dont have to play EVE? I sometimes wonder how many of those people biomassed their characters and only read r/eve.

Reddit gives you the chance to discuss and share opinions, as long as they're the popularly accepted opinions.
It's also a decent newslink aggregator, but ever since this war started, it has been nothing but le danque maymays nonstop.
