- welsh: sneeze, and chances are you’ve got it right. idfk
- chinese: here’s a picture. draw it. it means something. it can be pronounced four different ways. these twenty other pictures are pronounced the same but have very different meanings. godspeed.

Russian also has neutral nouns. However, thank Communism for something — they eliminated the “seventh case” that was especially for religious declensions. And yes, a bit like Greek, they add modifying syllables until the words stretch across the page like a snake…

Lol. This sums it up every time I think about learning a new language. I sometimes think it would be an awesome thing and then I get confronted with the reality of learning a new language.

I studied Spanish, Latin, Greek, and Japanese. You either want to learn a language or don’t
