- PaulHoule 4y agoI've had people that they like the ontological orientation of Mandarin, not so much the fact that the "words" are pictoral but the way they are combined systematically.
- Pompidou 4y agoIt raises the question of the (eventual) link between the grammar of 'spoken' language and our habilty to think the world. I personnaly think almost every human natural languages have the power to express almost everything with the help of circumlocution.
- watermelon59 4y agoI’ve been learning it for over a year because I want to be able to speak to my wife in her native language. So far I’m loving to learn it for the exact reason you said, the way sentences are pieces together is outright fun to me. I’m also amazed by how much information can be packed in a small combination of characters.
- omeysalvi 4y agoI've heard about how difficult Hungarian grammar is. The closest analog I can think of is Sanskrit which we had to study for a few years in school. They're still discovering more things about the language that were lost for thousands of years: https://www.popsci.com/science/sanskrit-puzzle-2500-years-old/?amp https://www.popsci.com/science/sanskrit-puzzle-2500-years-ol...
- Pompidou 4y agoI remember also when I was studying philosophy. The amount of non consensual traduction and interpretation from ancient greek is amazing. Ans what about the Επιούσιον case. I agree with you : hungarian is maybe some contemporary equivalent of the great language from the past such as latin, greek or sanskrit, in regard of scientific thinking. Nevertheless, its a agglutinative language, and the logic behind is different.
