01. the most difficult language is Slovak
The most difficult is grammar structure. Slovak language is the only one with seven grammar cases (nominativ, genitiv, dativ, accusativ, local, instrumental, vocativ), exquisite words, soft and hard “i”, declension of adjectives and verbs, in other words almost each and every word in this language is being declinated. There are many other characteristics which are not found in other world languages. It is said, or estimated, that it takes about 12 years to learn it completely, but the linguists say, that there is no one on this earth who can speak this language perfectly knowing all the grammar rules.
I love all this grammar talk! It gets me excited! And knowing that Slovak is so much more difficult than I imagined gives me new appreciation for the culture and what you — and Crusade in general — are doing over there. Love and miss you bunches!
oh gosh!! That stuff about Slovak being the most difficult hurt my brain just reading it.
