Why cant everyone on Earth just learn and speak English instead of hundreds of different languages?

Every language's vocabulary has already been translated and transcribed into English so we can always just use an auto-translator to read archaic texts, literature and/or document. No "culture" will be lost.

Its not like as if there are many Finns out there who actively seek out ancient Finnish literature to begin with. Even if people had interest in such things, the technology and means needed to translate texts of a foreign language is readily accessible.

Because English is such a limited language.
It lacks proper words for everyday concepts like "myötähäpeä" (often clumsily translated as vicarious embarrasment) and "vahingonilo" (having to resort to the german schadenfreude word instead).

Also it's extremely clumsy to speak in a gender neutral manner using English.

Furthermore, it's pointless that the words are very often written and pronounced in a completely different way.

Languages are like charsets.

If the charset is wrong, you cant figure out what some text means. And if you can't communicate with some language, you can't understant what somepony who uses that language is trying to tell you.

And somepony said that english is limited language. So are charsets too.
Some charsets doesn't have ä or ö, for example.


And, wtf im writing about.

As if Finnish didn't lack the words for just as many common concepts like "procrastination".
No. 605
>>604
"procrastination" = "viivyttely"
No. 606
>>605
Too broad and nonspecific. When you say "procrastination", people immediately recognise the concept. With "viivyttely", you have to explain that you mean a special kind of stalling where you put off an uncomfortable task, etc.

>>606
That's not true. No explanation is needed.
No. 608
>>607
Only if your exact meaning is clear from the context. Still, it's a much broader term than "procrastination".

But it's slang and as such, it's not that common.

Still, it's a Finnish word for that specific meaning.
See if you can find an English slangword for "myötähäpeä".

I guess "aikaansaamattomuus" is actually the most accurate Finnish term for it.
