I asked him how many people did what he did and how one could go about hiring someone like him because I planned on making a video game some day. He messaged me back and was extremely kind and helpful. To this day, I still look up the creators of fictional languages whenever I hear one in a new movie or TV show. And it's always David! I'm glad to know he's had such success in the years since GoT.

Since it was a live talk, my guess is that the captions came from someone using one of those live transcription machines with the weird keyboard that lets them type words in just a few button presses. They're normally preprogrammed with English words only, plus a couple catch-alls for stuff the transcriptionist wasn't able to catch... leading to this sort of useless result for a talk that's not in any particular language.
A stop after a stop is totally possible. In Greek we have tons of those: κτήριο "ktirio", means "building"; πτερύγιο "ptetiyio", means "fin"; κτήμα "ktima", means "estate"/"property".

@@spegnagmaglorious3590 So this is the most complicated and illogical part of swedish grammar for learners to grasp. And the most difficult to explain... The swedish equivalent of "a, an", the indefinite article is "en, ett" and was based on the word gender classes of old germanic language tradition; masculinum, femininum and reale. So.. That changed at somepoint and for some reason and we now use Utrum, (from Latin, Uter - "one of two"), and Neutrum (from Latin, Neuter -"none of two") Okay, I'm not gonna attempt to get this right... LONG STORY SHORT: No, it's not the same, and not as easy as in English! We use En, Ett because of old traditions of creating words with attatched gender labels. The Utrum is the masculinum, and Neutrum is the other one. For example: "en kung, kungen" = "A king, the king" - here we see the masculine gender prefix "(e)n" in front of Kung, since kings can only be masculine. But we see "en" as a suffix as well in the definitie article "kungen", adding the masculine gender suffix as a prefix instead. In contrast: the Neutrum "(e)t" in this example "Ett Äpple, Äpplet =An Apple, The Apple" use both the prefix and suffix (e)t and becomes ett, or (e)t. IN CONCLUSION! Take this with a grain of salt, but most of it is correct-ish, but can be explained better and differently! We don't teach this to our students.. We teach them to learn which words use what prefix or suffix, and how it works in a clause - not the illogical rules behind it! =)

The dialect of English that a person speaks has nothing to do with how accomplished a linguist they are. Having said that, a linguist might be more likely to know that the word route comes from French, in which the vowel is an /u/. I do wonder how some Americans ended up pronouncing "route" as /raut/. It doesn't seem to be part of a systematic shift in vowel sounds. I imagine it likely started as just some uneducated person who read it off the page and didn't know how to pronounce it properly.
@petroglyph888mcgregor23 жыл бұрын
@@omp199 I didn't say anything about dialect. And I didn't say anything about what makes someone an accomplished linguist. While I 100% agree with your first statement, I failed to see what it has to do with my comment---until I realized that in your experience, /rut/ and /raut/ are dialectical differences. See, in my experience near Chicago (such as it is), these 2 pronunciations are completely interchangeable. I know someone from Wisconsin who agrees with me on that. I've often heard people say /rut/ when following it with a number, then say /raut/ in the next sentence when it's NOT followed by a number. You're on to something. Look at the English word "couch" which comes from the French "couche", "blouse" from "blouse", "gouge" from the tool called "gouge" in French; same thing with the bird called "grouse", and the lesser known "rout" from "route" or "déroute". Finally "joust" vs "joute". Yes, I know I'm using the modern spellings, even though the words have gone through metamorphoses in both languages. My point is, in each of those examples the "ou" is /au/ in English, but is /u/ in its French cognate. So I think these could be examples of the phenomenon that you're describing. Although I suspect it had just as much to do with convenience and apathy as it had to do with lack of education.

That's why he jokes about counting people quickly like sheep, then decides to overrule the vote because he doesn't have time to figure out which option won (which he could have done by holding a serpentine).

Then "moya" could either mean "a cat", or "two cats" or "many cats" - it just isn’t specified. Some major languages, like Chinese if I’m not mistaken, function this way. And in these cases, the only way of knowing the precise number of cats, is either inferred by context, or your language has some other detached way of identifying it.

The vowel French has is /œ/, not /ɶ/, which is the one he was trying to pronounce.

Very interesting system for a conlang. It'd be interesting to know how the conculture works. Though I think there's no such distinction in natural languages.

Greg Jacques Lucifer's Jizz Gargler if you need someone to talk to, i’m here because its very obvious that your lonely or lacking human contact. Or maybe your just a dick. Idk and really i dont care and im really not sure who else does. Maybe read a book, i got some good book recommendation if you want. Theres alot of shows on Netflix, maybe watch this. Anything to keep you from bring everyone else down. This, what you are doing here, it does nothing good for anyone. Nobody benefits from this. Stop and get a fucking hobby.

@matthewhausmann37073 жыл бұрын
You could totally have a meaningful pronoun for non-physical things. Like if English used ka for non-physical things you'd see "this is KZbin, ka is a website"I." It's not really a "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" thing. Colorlessness is incompatible with greenness. Non-physical pronouns are just really weird.
@QuotePilgrim3 жыл бұрын
Why? Nonphysical pronouns make perfect sense, even if they would only be used in very specific cases. For instance, in the phrase, "God, I ask you to guide me through these difficult times", I would expect the "you" to be nonphysical, since it's referring to god, a nonphysical entity. In a story about ghosts, anyone referring to a ghost by he/she would probably use the nonphysical version of the pronouns. Or maybe even real people talking about fictional characters from a book or movie would use the nonphysical pronouns for them. So someone writing a review of Harry Potter might use nonphysical "he" to refer to the titular character. There might be other uses to this kind of pronoun, but I can't think of any.
