yet another reason to hate the fr*nch π€’
What? I thought it was the main one.
whenever you see an English word and none of the letters make sense
that just about describes half the English vocabulary
I recently learned the correct spelling of the word prerogative and I still haven't recovered.
at least it doesn't have random h's like thorough etc.
Burrough turned into burrow and borough, both pronounced differently to brow, rough, trough, thought and through.
I hate English.
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la guerre
C'est la pomme de terre
I love that ABBA song!
DΓ©jΓ vu
Those damn mongorians!
That's one of my all time favourite South park episodes.
Getting the local Chinese restauranteur to build the city wall... because the Chinese are good at building walls.
Shitty walls
"Goddamn Mongorians! Knock down my shitty wall!"
In Viking's defense: of all the Romance languages French is the most like Latin being spoken and written by a drunk hick with no formal education.
Being racist to the Gauls I see
Actually, I blame the Franks.
I recently saw a tiktok (therefore I'm an expert) that showed that Old French was pronounced pretty much exactly how it was spelled.
Every language simplifies it's pronunciation over time, but usually they alter the spelling when they do, but French just said "miss me with that shit, dog" and decided just to change the rules about pronunciation instead
I mean, I Heard that French monks were paid by the letter scribed, rather than the word, so they just put extra letters into everything using made up rules about spelling.
How could you say something so controversial yet so true?
Kuno:
who the fuck decided rendezvous would be pronounced like that
You:
Poor monolinguals. They can't seem to understand that other languages besides English exist
Kuno:
what the fuck did you just call me
Kunoesse:
He called you Mongolian
kunoese nuts
Lmao gottem
They say being bilingual is only impressive if your first language is English. Since you are expected to know English anyways. Is it true?
Bilinguals aren't impressive at all. I think most people are bilinguals. Apparently, according to Journal of Neurolinguistics, we have more bilinguals (43 percent of the world population) rather than monolinguals (40 percent).
There are trilingual regions in my country. And one neighbouring country is mostly trilingual too(2 official languages + 1 foreign)
As long as you speak the language most used in your country and English then you're fine
English people: Holy shit, I'm doubly qualified to go out and explore the world
Monolinguals are as culturally diverse as Mongolians. Just staying in one place, no need to expand horizons or learn anything new.
The last time the Mongolians decided to expand their horizons, it didn't work out so well for a decent chunk of the rest of the world. I think it's perfectly fine they choose to keep things simple, tbh.
The thing about Mongolians is that their barbecue is not the traditional Korean barbecue.
First Mongolians make the NoSQL database of my nightmares and now this... When will they learn!?
I know some of those words, nice!

Mongolian is the principal language of the Mongolic language family that originated in the Mongolian Plateau. It is spoken by ethnic Mongols and other closely related Mongolic peoples who are native to modern Mongolia and surrounding parts of East and North Asia. Mongolian is the official language of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia and a recognized language of Xinjiang and Qinghai. The number of speakers across all its dialects may be 6.2 million, including the vast majority of the residents of Mongolia and many of the ethnic Mongol residents of the Inner Mongolia of China. In Mongolia, Khalkha Mongolian is predominant, and is currently written in both Cyrillic and the traditional Mongolian script. In Inner Mongolia, it is dialectally more diverse and written in the traditional Mongolian script. However, Mongols in both countries often use the Latin script for convenience on the Internet.
Mongolia is a landlocked country in East Asia, bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south. The western extremity of Mongolia is only 37 km from Kazakhstan, and this area can resemble a quadripoint when viewed on a map. It covers an area of 1,564,116 square kilometres, with a population of just 3.3 million, making it the world's most sparsely populated sovereign state. Mongolia is the world's largest landlocked country that does not border a closed sea, and much of its area is covered by grassy steppe, with mountains to the north and west and the Gobi Desert to the south. Ulaanbaatar, the capital and largest city, is home to roughly half of the country's population. The territory of modern-day Mongolia has been ruled by various nomadic empires, including the Xiongnu, the Xianbei, the Rouran, the First Turkic Khaganate, the Second Turkic Khaganate, the Uyghur Khaganate and others.
Mongolic language
Mongolic my balls.

I believe the proper insult is "Mongoloid" thank you very much!
Monolingoloid
I mean, it's pronounced like it's spelled except for the Z.
And the 'S'. And to be fair, the 'OU' could have just been a 'U'. Also, the 'E' could have been an 'A'.
Randevu.

interestingly, thats what the turkish word for rendezvous is.
in turkish, words are written exactly as theyre pronounced at all times.
just a funny sidenote :3
