'sch' = 'sh'
'e' = 'a'

Considering Dutch is afaik one of the Germanic languages, it was my intention to counteract MrL_JaKiri's point. I don't see how any such occasion can be useless
Oh, and MrL_JaKiri, at least the Germanic languages don't have to butcher Latin names either. Homer, Vergil, Ovid, wtf?!

As latin is the root language, you can't criticise english for changing them when your own language did the same.

i never took latin in school, but as far as i know you can just read it the way it is (same pronounciation as in german) and everything would be correct.
and latin isnt the root language for neither english nor german, only for french, italian and the other laguanges in southern europe.

Re: Correct pronounciation of 'Nietzsche'
i'm still convinced there's a line of language linking germany, the netherlands and yorkshire.
Think about it!

french, italian, spanish, etc are basicly latin, just used for 70 generations and changed over the time.
english, dutch, german, etc. just got influenced by latin. they are not based on latin.

(ok, doesnt make much sence, but if you translate the words directly you see how similar german and english are. ofc you have lots of french words aswell, but those saxon words are more importantfor your language)
PS yes, im somewhat bored and dont know what else to do.

Re: Correct pronounciation of 'Nietzsche'
english grammar is pretty much unique in europe. its very simple compared to all other european lanugages: you already menitioned the nouns. then there are the verbs. you almost dont have any conjuctions at all (well, a few are left, like i am, you are, he she it is, etc, but for most verbs there is nothing).
other than that you have this completly fixed structure ('the man reads a book'. in german you could say 'ein buch liest der mann' aswell, but in english that would make much sence ('a book reads the man'))
you do have more and shorter words than other languages in europe.
PS no, i dont know a shit about the subject, i copied all this information from some random website so that it looks like i have an idea of what im talking about

What crap. Other languages have one thing that English is lacking...rules! English has so few hard and fast rules, so many irregular verbs, so many quirks that even English people can't get it right most of the time!

A major problem is in adopting words from other languages, because borrowed words aren't going to follow your language's rules for spelling, pronunciation, etc. You end up having to change them, sometimes significantly, to keep your language "pure." ( L'Academie Francais has to come up with baladeur instead of Walkman for example) Having a grammar that doesn't use many word endings makes it even easier.
The strength of English, if any, is that it's extremely flexible. You can adopt and coin new words very easily.

Yeah but we got your grammer in around the 5th centry, so we had plenty of time to bastify it.
I'm talking about saying shit like "I see *it*" and not "I *it* see". Where German and English are similar. But i was told your grammer is quite strict, where as English is quite adhoc.
[edit] wtf bastify doesn't exist?!?!!

I dare to differ.
Undoubtedly you speak several other languages as well, but I can tell you that if you can hack Finnish you are the master. It makes dutch, french and spanish look like a kindergarten language.
Not that I speak finnish. It's just that I think english is not very hard to learn at all.

actuqally i read the same on some website.
finnish is very different from the other european languages (except for hungary and estonia, they have similar languages). its a completly different language with different origin.

you do have grammar rules, maybe not as many as other languages, but that doesnt matter, because you dont need all that stuff in english.
im sorry if this doesnt make any sence, but its late.
