That’s something serious there...
Watch out for those wall mounted lasers, everyone!
wow.
Its like that in a lot of languages, a short word in English might be long in another or vice versa for a long word.

I recently watched the Swedish version of the Dragon Tattoo trilogy. Darn good, BTW.
What amazed me was how much Swedish sounds like English. As if you aren’t listening to the words themselves, just the sound of the language. It’s easy to spot Italian, Spanish, German, French, etc.
But Swedish sounds just like English.
I was looking at a book a few years ago that was a history of the world through the prism of language. It made the point that, unlike English or Spanish, German had never caught on anywhere.
The Swedish “version” is the original, isn’t it?
That would be Dummkopf!

european languages are similar but different in the way asian languages are.
Chinese shows online grate on my hearing like nails on a chalkboard (but if Rainie Yang is in it, its worth it). Japanese sometimes is simply annoying....
Korean, I like a lot.
