The real quesion is: can danes understand other danes?
People struggled to understand my geordie accent when I went to the US 😟
Bullshit, I can confuse an American at will with my English dialect.
what is latinx?
Can germans understand bavarians? Rarely.
According to my Italian colleagues, at least simple conversations between work well with spanish people. Learning Italian seems quite easy for romanians, too.
Her boobs are the most intelligent part of her body
tbf, if a Spaniard speaks slowly to me I understand 80-90%, easy. If a French speaks slowly I understand 50-60%.
If they speak fast I understand absolutely nothing.
Well, my wife and I can both understand some Italian. She’s a native Spanish speaker, it’s my second language but we understand some of it, a little more if their accent isn’t too strong. And the Italians can understand a good but of what we say in Spanish.
And I’ve seen her have conversations with Brazilians on many occasions. I understand them less than she does but I can occasionally communicate with them.
So there is some crossover. French on the other hand… just no, there isn’t really much crossover between that and Spanish. You would have to speak zero Spanish and French to think they can fully understand each other.
The aussies I can understand when they aren’t using bizarre made up words. It’s the Scots that make me stop and think which language they are speaking
A bit rich to claim Simplified Frisian is three different languages when it is bastardised High Germanic fucked and butchered by Anglo-Saxon peasants over 300 years so that no grammar and basically only *poop*, *piss*, *scran* and *rock pile* remained as active thesaurus.
The huge gaps in the thesaurus were then fixed with French words, which -of course- they fucked down as well to create what linguists call *English*, because *Peasant Frisian* has too many syllables.
Puerco de dios falla cristano.
Da, putem.
We kinda do. Since all of our languages are based on the same they are very similar so we can kind of understand some written text. Understanding someone speaking is another thing.
Also I’m sure a lot of people in Portugal and Spain know a lot of vocabulary thanks to Mercadona putting every name in both languages
It this was Italy, Spain and Romania maybe, maybe could make sense
French Is too gay to be understood.
Spanish – Italian is possible irl thanks to hand gestures and similar stuff but is impossible on phone calls because Spaniards are too lazy and will act like you are speaking Russian to them instead of trying to understand you.
Conversation irl:
>Me acting Spanish:Dove sta El bagnosito?
>Spaniard: Oooh El bañosito! Esta li! Caramba!
Conversation on phone:
>Me acting Spanish: escusame, puedes reservar un tablo pro manjar questos Dias?
>Spaniard: random Spanish noise at X5 speed ( I woke him up from his siesta and he’s Speedrunning the interaction to resume it).
>Me trying to find a Middle ground: ahhhj non intendo, habla ingles?
>Spaniard: screams random curses in Spanish.
>Me after using a translator software: Me gustaría reservar una mesa para la cena de hoy.
>Spaniard: inútil hijo de puta vete a la mierda idiota, deseo que mueras cayendo en un agujero lleno de agujas, no deberías haber nacido bárbaro. Dios es un idiota sólo porque te originó. vete a la mierda.
Me meeting the same Spaniard irl 10 minutes later: escusame, puedes reservar un tablo pro manjar questos Dias?
The same Spaniard: seguro, 19;30?.
Me: ok!

Some American accents I hate so much. Some of them sound absolutely awful.
To Americans: Yes they can.
They will never admit it but it basically involves them having to put on a more ridiculous accent so they just pretend they cannot understand each other to avoid the embarrassment.
She’s not wrong, Spanish, Italian and French all share linguistic roots (romantic) so there’s a fair bit of overlap.
Not that it’s a fluent 1:1 translation but it’s possible to have a conversation across languages.
Italian is basically completely unintelligible to me, but for Spanish I may understand entire sentences because of how similar it sounds to French at times
fuckin cunt ill wack ya in the low-hanging-fruits if you say that a fuckin yank can understand my lingo
I mean, we can
Can we learn another international language and further alienate Americans from the world, pls?
