It's interesting how we interpret meaning that's not actually there.
I'm currently trying to lean a little French. To me the French "Non" sounds much more abrupt and often slightly agressive even when I know it's not at all being said like that.
My French is currently far too poor to pick up any subtlety but that doesn't stop my mind playing tricks on me unfortunately.
- rdtsc 7y ago> It's interesting how we interpret meaning that's not actually there. Fascinating. It's totally subjective. And I imagine it depends on what other languages you speak. Some languages to me just sound softer and more poetic like say French or Portuguese, some seem harsher like German and Japanese. Russian is probably in the middle, though poetry somehow works beautifully in Russian.
