- panick21_ 3y agoLets go to Finish, quite different: 1 – yksi 2 – kaksi 3 – kolme 4 – neljä 5 – viisi 6 – kuusi 7 – seitsemän 8 – kahdeksan But it almost feels as if its related a little. Or its my brain playing tricks.
- misja111 3y agoYep, Finnish is not considered a Indo European language.
- edgyquant 3y agoIt isn’t but it has a ton of influence thanks to Swedish.
- retrac 3y agoAh, but check out the personal pronouns: English Russian Finnish Hungarian me, menya, mina, en we, my, me, mi thou, ty, te, ti he, on, hän, ő What's very weird is that it is probably not because the languages are related, but because the same forces that create pronouns, work in a similar way across languages. It's important the sounds be very different, for example, to minimize ambiguity. And they're some of the first abstract words children learn. Something similar is seen with informal terms for "mother" and "father" which have a very strange similarity across languages (e.g. in Chinese, English and Swahili "baba" means father.)
- acadapter 3y agoThere's something called the "M-T pronoun paradigm", a trace of earlier proto-languages that aren't reconstructible today, possibly from as far back in time as the Stone Age.
