  • It is the same word

    Edit: i still understand being puzzled by this, but the thing is, learning a language partially forces you to learn how the native speakers think… i would even argue that is the final milestone on learning a language.

    Spanish found a way to supress the subject from it’s sentences

    Germans speak as if they were assembling a puzzle

    Japanese looks like a programming language… pretty neat

    Russian has two different plurals and the quantity that makes a word fall in the first one or the second one is “arbitrary”.

    I know this looks like a gigantic mountain to climb, but i assure you that as you advance, things will progressively make more sense

    spoiler

    That does not apply to the numbers… it feels like a toddler forgot how to count and started making up shit. What really bothers me is not that but the amiguity… 4 20 sounds exactly as 80
