I'm not familiar with a few of those flags, but more importantly: why is Romanian lawful evil? I'm not advocating is should be "good", god knows too well that I hate my own native language. But evil?

Romanian is pure evil lol, it's a languange deeply mixed with Polish/Russian due historical context, but also a bit of Hungarish.

Italians, Portuguese, Spanish, Gallegan can easily understand each other without basic knowledge, even those languages at inner France like Occitan or Breton.

Just not Romanian. It's more likely a Polish person may understand Romanian lot better than a Italian for ex.

Don't know where you're from, but you've clearly been horribly misinformed. Only proper Russian word I know of is tovarăș (comrade), and god only knows where you pulled the Polish from.
There is some argument to be made for some slavic influence, but we're talking about ancient slavic, definitely not proper Russian or Polish.

And in either case, it probably pales by comparison to the real major influence on our language is Dacian. Some of our most basic words are dacian in origin, like our words for: hat, old man, steam, lip, cheese. There's a lot of them.

I really hope you didn't take your "knowledge" of my language from quora users who are Brazilian lawyers, or from a rando who thinks ă and â are of slavic origin, when the list of dacian words are chuck-full of ă, â, ș and ț.

@alyx Not really, I have a good acquittance here who is Romanian, he's at Fediverse but still struggle with his instance 🤣 @chymera just fix your damn server and join those nice discussions .

And two months ago met a Romanian guy who knows Spanish quite well.

@waltercool @chymera
Well, you linked a really stupid quora article as source, so I have a hard time believing you.
Seriously though, do you comprehend how stupid and insulting it is to say Romanian is mixed with Russian or Polish? That's like saying English is mixed with German.

Again, sure there's slavic influence in our language, but we're talking about ancient slavic, not modern. Those root slavic words are not the same in modern Russian, to the point where you can make claims that Romanian has Russian in it, just like root latin words didn't remain the same in modern French, Italian, Spanish etc.

@alyx @chymera This is why I stated "historical reasons".

I know the language is not even close to them, but it's easier for those languages to understand Romanian than any other Romance language, at least without any knowledge.

I met Brazilians, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Galicians, I have Italian relatives... and without knowing the language, it's easy for me to understand they saying (except French) and bitwise.

I just can't say same for Romanian, even books are mostly unintelligible for me, and don't care about the weird letters, they are Romance for sure, just not used at any other Romance language, and that's fine.

>but it's easier for those languages to understand Romanian
No. Absolutely not. This is beyond retarded. How is it that I know multiple people who went to Italy or France without studying the language before hand, and got along just fine, but I know literally no one who can understand a word of Russian or Polish. And my parents actually had to study Russian in school (Soviet era and all that) and they still can't speak a word of it. There simply isn't enough commonality between Romanian and slavic languages to make them easy to learn in either direction.

At this point I can only assume that you're trolling, cause you're just completely absurd.

But you know what's the most retarded thing of all: this opinion of yours only proves your own inadequacy. Cause you, an apparent expert at languages (or at least latin ones) can't comprehend Romanian, but somehow Chinese people are able to learn it. Or maybe Romanian is a Chinese language too now.

I'm honestly properly angry right now. Jesus fuck...

@alyx @chymera Romanians can understand French and Italian, and as far I know, Spanish good enough. It's just not the inverse.

And I don't like to troll on threads lol. Blocked couple of people by doing that. I don't like to waste others time.
