Ithkuil
LEARN JAPANESE
shitposting on Yea Forums: 3 minutes (master level)
>Meaningful phrases or sentences can usually be expressed in Ithkuil with fewer linguistic units than natural languages. For example, the two-word Ithkuil sentence "Tram-mļöi hhâsmařpţuktôx" can be translated into English as "On the contrary, I think it may turn out that this rugged mountain range trails off at some point." Quijada deems his creation as too complex to have developed naturally, seeing it as an exercise in exploring how languages could function. No person, including Quijada himself, is known to speak Ithkuil fluently. Nevertheless, it was featured in the Language Creation Conference's 6th Conlang Relay.
None of those languages have anything to offer. Only japan makes good entertainment
The problem is in that 1000 hours of learning you will become a different person along the way.
Who else here /Chinese/?
are irish and welsh really that easy? they might share the latin alphabet (now) and some crossover words but aside from that it's pure celtic barbarian tongues all the way down
and yet your Japanese is still grade-school level
>Hebrew
why would anyone even want to learn it?
1 hour a day for 3 years to understand kindergarten chinkspeak. 1 hour a day for 10 - 15 years to reach adult level, all for MUH PORN GAMES. 1000 hours won't let you play Japanese games at a level of comprehension near a professional JP > EN localization regardless of how much woke shit they shoehorn in.
Jap is easy though, cope
>wenzhou
>twice as long as mandarin or Cantonese
Chink here, you are a fucking moron
Yes, I can tell that you're coping. No need to tell me.
there's no point learning another language if you already understand English, maybe chinese when they take over
go back to eating utter oil or something
What did the original text say?
>Ithkuil
Conlangs aren't real languages.
So? Just started
I used the michel thomas course on piratebay and became fluent within 8 hours
The only thing China will take over is russia
Thank you
Biblical studies
yeah hakka is harder
Tbqh watching Anime won't get you anywhere near fluency let alone give you the ability to read Japanese books
The only reason people like animal crossing was the complete rewrite of the script for the west
The moment you said esperanto I stopped reading your gay shit. Kill yourself you ayn rand reading nigger esperanto isnt a real language and its being pushed by a kike.
biblical hebrew is not the same as modern hebrew
A better question is why you would want to waste your time learning those languages when there are less than a million speakers in the arse end of nowhere
All right Yea Forums, if you're so smart, take a crack at this untranslatable dialogue between two villagers in Animal Crossing.
>A: 最近、テレビでフケーキ、フケーキってよく聞くんだけどさぁ、一体、どんなケーキなのかな?
>B: 多分、イチゴがのっかってるヤツじゃないかなぁ。
>A: でも、いつかは食べてみたいわねぇ、フケーキ・・・
>B: だよね~!今度一緒にたべよ〜よぉ!
>A: あ、アタイは食べたい!
That Quillson guy is based, I really like people that are passionate enough about something to call out bullshit rather than eating garbage products normie style.
>A: The pleasure of being cummed inside
>B: It can't be helped
same
YOU WILL NEVER LEARN JAPANESE
>1 hour a day for 10 - 15 years
maybe try putting some effort in
>A: Recently, I was listening a lot to "Fucake, Fucake" on TV, but this got me wondering, what kind of cake is that?
>B: Probably the kind with strawberries on top
>A: But I still kind of want to eat it one day, fucakes...
>B: Right~! Let's eat some together next time, yo!
>A: Ah, I want to eat some!
Yep, what the fuck does that mean.
>I was listening a lot to "Fucake, Fucake" on TV,
Or maybe it should be:
>Fucakes were being mentionned a lot of TV
I kinda wanna learn just enough to be able to read chinese games
There's so much interesting indie stuff on steam with no translation at all and it bothers me
Yes I'm a sucker for cultivation shit
What the fuck is a Fukeiki?
>A: Recently I keep seeing "uuuoooh" with a crying emoji being written on most Yea Forums threads. I wonder why they are so sad...
>B: Maybe they are overwhelmed with emotion about something that's really cute
>A: I hope it's also really funny
>B: You know it! Look there's a new thread!
>A: UUOOOOHH
ezpz
不景気 "economic downturn" sounds like フケーキ "fu as in fuwawa/fluffy maybe cake" i guess the characters are like kids and that's how they hear it when it's on TV. 値 = value/worth, another word you'd hear on the news, アタイ ah-Thai food? really stupid dialogue.
>アタイ ah-Thai food? really stupid dialogue.
If this is bait, it's masterful.
Nice.
Why on earth would you ever want learn Japanese when its this kind of banal shit 99% of the time anyway? What a waste of 1000 hours.
Best so far.
recession -> re-session
A: why they don't just do it right the first time if they keep having to have more sessions
B: totally! by, the way sessions of what?
A: i dunno, probably, like, recording sessions for a band
B: a band?! y'know, it feels like it's been years since i last saw a concert... you should go with me to see them play once their re-sessions are done!
A: you got it! boy, i can't wait for all this re-session business to blow over
>even in Animal Crossing, tranny translaters break the fourth wall to stick it to people pointing out how shitty their translations are
that's it, you weebs got me. i'm learning japanese!
tried using a dictionary?
:baw::baw::baw:
learning is part of the fun
probably a cake with some strawberries on top
It's like ZUN making touhou games, but not being able to clear them on harder levels.
>if you like something you can't criticize it
lol how fucking butthurt was this """localizer"""
>>A: I wish I could just learn a proper language like english, isn't that right B-itch?
>>B: Stop calling me B-itch
>>A: Aww come on, it's funny・・・
>>B: It's sexual harassment!
>>A: Oh no the cops are coming!
Every game or manga I've been interested enough in playing/watching has been localized or translated by hardcore fans. Learning Japanese for video games instead of a natural curiosity for language is one of the most braindead limpdick things I've ever heard of.
i will never learn japanese
>1500-2200
>korean
lol!
lmao, even!
curiosity for languages is a dipshit normalfag meme for ppl who will give up within 300 hours (you need 50000 hours of exposure to be good at a language)
funnel cake perhaps
New Horizons dialogue was so much worse than New Leaf's that it really is shameful.
You will never make it. In anything. Give up breathing already.
Stopped shortly after hitting the kanji wall. Either put the fucking furigana on it or I aint reading that shit.
I am. I'm learning katakana right now.
stop making these dime a dozen excuse posts that you think are so intelligent and either learn japanese or continue to eat the shit that you are fed and continue to restrict yourself. your gay reaction image doesn't make you look any less desperate.
Yeah, yeah, just like every thread. I already did, I live in Japan and I enjoy you not being here.
I dunno. Why would you want to learn carpentry when the guys who built your back porch used rusty nails and rotting wood?
I tried learning chinese. Studied for one year before accepting that I absolutely hate how the entire language sounds
The average mandarin conversation sounds like a downie choking on food. The "nice sounding" songs and poems still manage to sound like someone with aphasia.
The future may fuck me over but I just can't bring myself to speak chinese
Shoulda done your heisigs.
I remember your last post.
what are the smoothest sounding languages in this list
i'd rather learn korean because they've been hitting it out of the park with their live-action kino. i'll leave the pedo cartoons to you freaks instead.
>Korean
>1500-2000 hours
Hahahah, yeah no. Danish or Maori are way harder than this kiddie shit
