Continue collecting the rubbish tourists left in the nature around the city.
You are in Vladivostok taking your dog for a walk when suddenly you see the entire super mechanized Japanese war machine coming towards you.
What do you do?
I'm sure 99% of non fin Bernds will mistake my post for real Fingolian.
Your language is fucked up, mate. At least to me it looks like it.
There are so many double vowels / consonants and long words.
Has there ever been another script for finish than the Latin alphabet?
Has there ever been the idea of using a different script?
It seems to me that Finnish is like a those west slavic languages who might be better of using cyrillic because it represents their different sounds better.
I am probably entirely wrong on this but I'm just curious so please tell!
As a bilingual fennoswede I actually love the finnish language, exactly because of the reasons you describe!
It might seem difficult and useless, but it's actually super useful and the dream language for any assburger because of the way the words are used in an "efficient" way. And when spoken, you speak like just as is written!
In Germanic and many other languages you will need to form a complete sentence with many filler words while in finnish you can a lot of the times just use one simple word, and then only bend that word to change the meaning of the sentence. It's super useful. I'm no language expert, so I can't unfortunately help with those questions, but I love it the way it is.
I think all languages should adapt more of this method!
Maybe I am just accustomed to it and I'm full of shit, but I've always felt this way about it. I also love all the Ä's, Ö's in both swedish and finnish (and the swedish Å's of course) and how you can take a word like "riittämätön" and keep bending it for different meanings.
But as I said don't listen to me, my vision might be completely blurred and biased, some other Finn is probably better at explaining this. I am simply happy.
>difficult and useless
I was not talking about the language, but rather about the way it is written.
Below I provide an example about what I meant.
The grammatical phenomena you describe is called "agglutination". I am aware that Finnish works like that, since Japanese is too an agglutinative language and works very similar. I believe Turkish does too.
I sadly don't speak a single word of Finnish besides some insults and meme words, but I picked up stuff from Finnish texts such as -ssa being added as an indicator for a location, I think. Your language truly fascinates me but unfortunately there is little to no reason for me to learn it ;_;
Here an example for a long Japanese word which alone can be a sentence:
>Korosaserarenakatta
<ころさせられなかった
=I could not let you kill.
The 2nd line obviously is a LOT easier to read, wouldn't it be possible for Finnish too to use a script that for example has extra characters for all those double vowels or even characters that can represent whole grammatical features like the -ssa?
The goal would be to save characters in total to make reading and writing correctly faster and easier.
I just randomly wondered this, lmao.
Also, is it possible to make similar 1-word sentences in Finnish?
