similar words across languages :D
*SONG OF THE MOMENT* - “crushed” bai limp bizkit. cool beat to this song man!! ^_^ i like them, even though i haven’t heard all that much of their music. oh well.
i’m bitter. i just wrote this fatty journal entry, but i pressed back bai accident and it all got erased. damm computers…
i was talking about languages. how the heck did people make up languages?? could yoo make up a letter of the alphabet if yoo tried now? i tried… i can’t… =P
and then onto chinese characters. they developed from documenting pictures, right? then the pictures gradually turned into words… but how the heck did they make up the words for verbs??
and lastly… how are the words for “mom” and “dad” similar in every language? mama, madre, momma, umma… papa, padre, appa… O_o
weird, isn’t it?
oh well. oh yeah! a lotta korean and chinese nouns are sooooo alike *well obviously cuz koreans came from chinese but i still find it interesting*… it seems like for a lot of them, they just took the pinyin (the way they spell chinese in english… cept it dun really look like it sounds) for the words in chinese and convert them to korean. kinda interesting. ^^;
i probably lost a lot of yoo. oh well. i would give yoo examples, but it looks funny unless yoo know pinyin.
