@rals_wav @parasolprophet @ejp_raij1n also in some cases the distinction is clear from agreement (e.g. la personne dit vs. les personnes disent) and, rarely, the plural suffix is pronounced because of liaison with the following word (<il a> [il a] 'he has' vs. <ils ont> [il zɔ̃])

[Cinari Palese @SetnzAl]

@raydenb261661 @sephrosier @ejp_raij1n it’s written <oi> but pronounced [wa]. this is one of many cases of historical spelling where the orthography didn’t adjust to changes in pronunciation. this is everywhere in English, see e.g. <knight> where the <k> isn’t pronounced and <gh> originally denoted a velar fricative

[Cinari Palese @SetnzAl]

@BlighttownNIMBY thank you for the addition. the liaison is such an interesting phenomenon and makes the language more beautiful, even though learning all the different contexts in which it occurs ruined my life like two years ago lol

Imagine being an Indonesian islander in 1610 and 100 of these niggas get off a ship and say some "herde verde give me the spices hinga dinga" shit and vaporize the dude standing next to you with a blunderbuss.

@BlueGreenblue3 i studied it for a semester in my undergrad, it's a pretty fun language! i remember we did basic translations of The Gospel of Thomas. also the alphabet is trivial to learn if you know how to read greek which helps

@Nuskylicious one time i was at a party in the middle of a field in western Czechia and a friend of a friend recited “Záhořovo lože”, a Czech 100-200 line poem about a giant cannibal who becomes christian, from memory… i still think about it to this day
