  2. well, when you're learning a new language, you're on the same level as children are so they might as well be your peers learning with you

  4. this is a strange video from my perspective as someone who mainly knows languages that use VSO and SVO. actions or what has happened is important too in my culture besides the doer(subject)

  5. what did u expect him to pronounce it like lol. a lot of words today from different languages you may never have heard of before, you can as simply type in google translate and click the listen button for that major language they have available for it. its just a matter of people saying it as close as they practically can

  6.  @andrewdunbar828  reminds me of how the tone sandhi works in southern chinese languages like hokkien

  7. my parents speak a chinese southern language which is hokkien but the philippine lannang variant dialect here in the philippines as opposed to those in taiwan, singapore, malaysia, indonesia, etc. other classmates sometimes also speak a bit of this. we had a chinese teacher that was hired from mainland china to teach mandarin. my classmates thought since they grew up to know hokkien as chinese, they decided to try and speak this in chinese class to the teacher. the teacher got mad and thought this was a local philippine language. we tried telling him it was hokkien/fukien but still he had no idea. it took him until someone from the provinces who was also chinese filipino to move to our school after their city in the provinces got destroyed by a typhoon for him to identify that the chinese we were speaking was of the fujian province.

  8. ​ @NativLang  just think of it this way, listen to each word people introduce u in a tonal language and just think of it that it just* sounds that way. especially since there's no obvious organized pattern to which words are gonna have this and that specific tone. this is also how babies or children grow up learning tonal languages. dont needlessly scare yourself at the supposed number of tones whichever tonal language has. it's just a side detail on how this and that word is supposed to properly be said like so other homophones are definitely differentiated.

  9. I always thought about the babel story when i was younger and interpreted it instead of having the story of God causing people to split into languages as punishment for trying to reach God's greatness, its more like to me people not communicating right with each other just because of their own difficulties to speak right like everyone because of the lack of a unified established structured language in how to speak right so since the author where the story came did not have the specific details of the conflict and disagreement simply put that the splitting of languages was simply willed by God hence caused by God. The people of the babel civilization probably always got their common language wrong and couldnt agree on an established official language they could rightly use. they probably got mad at each other and went away in their own ways than continuing building their civilization in babel which was probably just the idea of building a central civilization for their greatness. if they couldnt agree on the language, people groups who agreed on their own idea of their official language split away to make their own civilizations where they could understand better with the use of their own agreed proper language.

  11. im not entirely sure of amount of intelligibility between the austronesian maritime southeast asia languages such as those languages of the philippines and those of malaysia and indonesia but i hear malaysia and indonesia understand each other better but malaysians and indonesians seem to think philippine languages are closer to indonesian languages. as a filipino though i cant understand malaysian and indonesian besides determining cognates in writing

  12. these kinship system names seem so confusing like the name is tied to the culture its named from but these systems could happen in many other cultures so i think someone should rename these more practically than tying the naming to the culture it was studied from

  13. the words used to explain seem complicated but its more important to actually understand the context and logic of how these cultures view family

  19. this is usually present in most languages and cultures. its just a matter of frequency. japanese has normalized the frequency of it, enough to even have a name for it. its neighbors, as you mentioned in the video, also do it with slight differences in frequency. korean does it more frequently and mandarin has it but not as much. for japan's southern neighbors in southeast asia, philippines has it too and it can be done frequently but its not usually done as frequently.

  24. what's interesting too are the many variant dialects of southern chinese languages that have developed in southeast asian countries for centuries since they first came in colonial and precolonial times. for example, there's a different hokkien dialect in singapore, taiwan, malaysia, indonesia, philippines, and even in burma, but much of it is not as documented yet. these southern and southeastern chinese languages also have much in common to the sino-xenic loans in japanese and korean, almost as if their common ancestor language form was what japanese and korean initially borrowed from.
