Seeing as we're talking about languages....
| Is that so?
Esta es una oración en español.
Does that seem like Icelandic?
| >>268623 btw that means “this is a sentence in Spanish” If you could translate that to Icelandic for comparison that would be great
| No I don't mean like that. Certain words almost sound like Spanish. Like the word for lemon in Icelandic, or "I eat"
I don't know how to describe it
| >>268627 oh i see, that could also apply to English tho, the way you structure sentences, some words are pretty similar to Spanish
| Why French sounds so damn sophisticated and pleasant? Why even Christmas carols in German can sound like death sentence?
| >>a56898 French to me doesn't sound all that great. To me, it sounds like someone constantly getting something stuck in their throat so they have to cough all the time lol
| why does Portuguese sounds like Russian though?
| Japanese is interesting, the only language it sounds similar is Hawaiian
| >>269286 Portuguese sounds awful to me, but I'm biased cause I always get Brazilian idiots yelling at the voice chat in any online game I play.
Maybe that's why it sound Russian to you, south America has Brazilians while Europe has Russians
| >>833108 Both languages coincidentally ended up with practically the same phonemes, so they sound really similar if you don't understand the words. 0 mutual intelligibility between them though
| I thought Portuguese sounds like Spanish, doesn't sound like Russian to me.
| >>269286 You know how Yugo (languages of Yugoslavia) sounds? Its a little bit like Russian but different.
I think Portuguese sounds like a mix of Yugo and Spanish.
| >>268699 >>268689 yeah, French sounds just average to me. And I think German doesn't sound violent at all. It's just a projection of cultural stereotypes

| Why does Icelandic sound like Spanish to me ? I'm learning the language & I was surprised. The way it's spoken has that 'could almost be spanish' quality....
