As a native Slavic language speaker, wanna trade your tense system for our noun cases?

[-] maynarkh@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

My native has 19 cases with 2-3 variations of each for vowel harmony. Plus verbs are partially conjugated for both the subject and the object, so I see you, you see me, they see it are all one word sentences each, just conjugated differently. I see myself is a two word sentence though, with both words conjugated.Other simple sentences are also collapsed into conjugation hell, "You could take me home" is one such heavily conjugated word.

But no genders, and only two and a half temporal tenses, and pronunciation is directly matched to text, no pronunciation guides or spelling bees.
