Why is it called a building if it has been already built?
| Because gerund is a thing. Why is it called a 'painting' when it has been painted? Why is it called a 'writing' when it has been written?
Alternative answer: English sucks. Someone please invent English v2.0
| >>143430 no we should go back. In the past English was more consistent. Let's use Anglo-Saxon again!
| Now that I think of it I have always wanted to learn Esperanto. As an engineered synthetic language it claims to be a language quite easy to grasp, with sensible grammar rules, intuitive morphology, phonetic based and fully pdonounced. A claim that those who know something about it fully agree to be true.
It seems like the proper language for cyberpunk oriented people. Engineered synthetic efficient language for humans. The idea alone is awesome and futuristic.

okay i kinda wannaleaen esperanto as well now
don't see a reason why i would though

| *wanna learn
derp
| I tried to learn Esperanto because I worked at a place where the Esperanto club held their meetings. The members of said club were weird and got on my nerves a lot. I tried lenig the language from a book but I found it fucking dumb. I don't know why, but I found both the language and its'speakers to be fucking grating somehow.
| >>143581 I actually checked some materials for Esperanto and compared to any other language I have studied it did seem to make a lot of sense with virtually no irregularities and mathematical logic in its constructs. Learning those is all what one needs at the start and then it is just enriching the vocabulary and improvising speech and coming out with your own sentences seemed as easy as filling in variables in a well defined formula.
| >>143531 I did not know about Lojban. It seems awesome indeed, in many ways even better than Esperanto.
Am collecting some basic learning material now.
| And yes. I like Lojban a lot already only after one hour of looking around and into it. It is so beautiful and logical in its constructs and very efficient. Seemingly minimalistic it is actually capable of very elaborate expressions, full of meaning, artful and emotional beauty.
Very many thanks to the g/u/rl who mentioned it above a few posts earlier.
