I love researching and learning foreign languages, so today I researched Polish and Finnish today. I always check the grammar pages of languages first. The Finnish grammar seemed rather difficult, but acceptable- "Finnish has 15 grammatical cases. wat Fifteen. 15. 3x5. That's ten one-point-fives. German's 4 cases are fine. Latin's 5 is pushing it. The Slavic language's 7 is really pushing it, but still okay. But 15. Fif-fucking-teen why why would you do that WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

    I imagine that Finnish people think it works just fine, and that's really all that matters.

    Fair enough, but why do languages always gravitate towards extreme complexity instead of simplicity?

    Here's one question that I've never really seen answered:

    When a person who was raised with a language that has grammatical gender to it learns English, how do they take to the fact that English doesn't have grammatical gender, no "the" and "tha"? Do they generally prefer one or the other, or neither?

    Yes Neither, I'd wager.
