Us too
We only have brat and sestra, meaning brother and sister, but no word for "sibling"

>sibling
bratuha

>sibling
rodnya, rodstvennik

In Arabic we have a different word for uncles/aunts from mother's side or father's side, and no "cousin", we call them "aunt's son" uncle's son", also no word for nephew/niece, just "brother's son/daughter"

The closest in French is "fratrie" but no one ever uses this, just frères et soeurs.

хyeдcтвeнник

Geschwister

We have a separate word for every type of relative

We have something similar in Russian even though we rarely use them. Шypeй and cнaхa also seem to be familiar words to me.

that's probably cos you all end up marrying one

>sestra
:3

>súrodenec

It just occured to me that we have four different words for "kin" but we don't have a word for "sibling".

Not sure how to feel about this.

Female Friend and girlfriend is the same word. This totally sucks.

Same goes for male friendvand boyfriend.

rodzeństwo

>tfw when your comrades on Cred Forums are retarded dvach bydlo

it's even worse in polish

"girlfriend" (as in partner like sexual) and "girl" is the same thing.
But you usually guess from the context "what the author referred to:

>brother

>relatives

"Eдинoyтpoбныe" бyдeт нaвepнo ближe вceгo

>mfw russian language has based Zloradstvo while anglos have to cuck themselves with Schadenfreude abomination

There's no word for "please" in finnish.

Same, but we have also one word for gf and one for friend which you never use for the opposite.

So we have priatelka-gf and g-f
Kamaratka- g-f
Frajerka-gf

>Frajerka
lmao what

frajer/frajerka means sucker, loser, mug and someone naive and dumb

>So we have priatelka-gf and g-f
>frajer/frajerka means sucker, loser, mug and someone naive and dumb

They mean the same things here.

>Frajerka-gf
A-are you all gangsters?

In Russian we have the same word for a young woman and gf, however, the meaning is easy to guess from the context.
gf/young woman = devushka (btw we almost always say "my gf", "moja devushka")
female friend - podruga

There is no word for "indigestion" in english.

we have no gendered word for cousin, so if someone mentions their cousin and fails to ever use a pronoun you'll never know whether that cousin was a male or female without asking.

>indigestion
Are you having it right now?

>still no gender-neutral singular pronoun

>what is it
>what is they
do you even speak English regularly Paco

>There is no word for "indigestion" in english.

Got that one, but we don't have he/she. Everything is just "hän", which means that you have to guess the person's gender from context.

gender is a social construct anyway you shitlord

>Frajerka

English is really comfy when you need to express yourself casually, gerund for exmaple is an amazing linguistic device. But constructing a complex sentence in english is a fucking nightmare of trying to juggle all these tenses. In russian, there's no grammatical difficulty stays roughly the same all the time

so "podruga" is always a female friend, but is "drug" always a male friend, or can it be both genders?

Familie, Rude ,..
care mai avem?

>what is it
inanimate
>what is they
plural

Sisarus.

Drug is gender neutral. A dog can be your drug too
There are lots of male-only variations, most are slang - drujishe, drujban, drugan, bratan etc

>there isn't he and she in finnish
how did this sjw shit happen?

don't be a dumbass, you know good and well that people use singular "they" colloquially.

ask your mongol proto-finno-ugric ancestors why they decided to not mark gender on any noun

>colloquially
people do all kinds of shit incorrectly. hell, i can make up ten brand new gender-neutral pronouns myself right now. that isn't the point.

>2500
>any notion of gender in languages is banned, people identify their genders with hexadecimal colour codes

languages change m8, singular they is widespread enough to be considered part of the language, special snowflake meme pronouns are not. Just because the various standard Englishes technically don't allow it doesn't mean it's wrong, especially when a large number of speakers has adopted it

>speakers has
i see why you think this is an acceptable answer.

We have no word for a person who has lost their virginity, you are either a virgin or not a virgin.

I know that feel
I wish there was a word for upset in spanish too

it was autofilled desu senpai.

we call those sluts

>No word for men who aren't virgins
>Ignoring that you can literally wait until marriage and then have sex and then you are a "non virgin"

Think before you post next time user

>a dog can be your drug too
Fuck off! I can stop anytime I want!

deflowered for women

MAN for men

Also teacher, neighbour, parent, classmate etc.

>>No word for men who aren't virgins
"man"

No one except Japanese care Umami, the 6th tastes.It differs from salty, spicy,sweet, bitter, nor sour.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umami

Lihaisa.

At least the finnish wiki states so

Love you Suomi!

do you have a word for "wife's son"

Дa тeбe и coбaкa пoдpyгoй бyдeт

>you and i = we
>them and i = we

Umami is just protein taste.
Most russians do not distinguish hot and bitter tastes for example.

>tfw platonic love and romantic love don't have their own single words

Savory is the closest I can come up.

I've heard that Russian doesn't have a word for "privacy".

>Schadenfreude
meme word; just say "sadistic pleasure"

So is the law but we still insist people abide by it.

Srodnik

Yes you do you illiterate cunt.

>same word is for all uncles, male cousins and nephews and another word for aunts, female cousins and nieces
>no word for grandparents, only grandfather and grandmother

>them
>they
>their
>themselves
and before you go full retard, even shakespeare used this, so no, it isn't improper

That's dence
чacтнaя жизнь

>Most russians do not distinguish hot and bitter tastes for example.
That's because most russians have bad tongue.

Have you read the wiki of umami?

"There's not a man I meet but doth salute me as if I were their well-acquainted friend." -Shakespeare

>making up tastes
>making up words

Wew buttocks sandwich at it's finest

you should try reading shakespeare or the king james bible; defining literature for our language and filled with complicated grammar. it should be a good exercise if you want to speak more naturally

>Kamaratka
GET COMMIED

>no centralized authority
>the majority of native speakers can still somehow be wrong
think before you type

What? Srodnik is a legitimate word for sibling in Serbian. Not my fault you speak a dysfunctional language.

we have the adjective 'savory,' but we don't have a noun. then again, we don't have a noun for 'sour,' 'sweet,' 'spicy,' 'salty,' or 'bitter...' unless you add the 'ness' suffix, in which case umami btfo

>sibling
sounds like shit, нe нyжнo

I thought Dutch didn't have a word for "sibling" either

we also have 'nibling' (niece or nephew), but nobody uses it

You don't live in Connecticut then

thanks for correcting my mistake.

I'm from CT and no one uses "nibbling".

Same with girlfriend/boyfriend its just petit/e ami/e which means little friend

Well duh, you spelt it wrong.

Hey it's funny foreigners talk serious about a word sibling.
By the way, in Japanese, there're a word "穴兄弟" (hole sibling) which means that some person who have inserted their penis into one girl's vagina are like siblings.

For example,
"The whole men of this team is hole sibling "
"What do you mean?"

" the all men of this team have had a sex with that girl".

Sounds Russian.

...

What do you want? A duo person like ancient greek in addition to singular and plural?

What language makes this distinction between "you and I" and "them and I" ?

I mean a dual number rather than not duo person. My mistake.

I remember as a kid in school being confused about finding a word for ''making it in time'' in english, is there one?

Allowing nigger and white trash lexicon into the dictionary.

We need a proper second person plural. Y'all and youse make you sound like an idiot.

Italians use the same word for fiancee and girlfriend

I wish there was a word for "plural you" in english. "You all" seems to be the best, I know some people who say "yous" but it's bogan-tier

"you guys"

And saying "ya'll" makes you sound like a redneck cousin fucker.

you people
t. niggers

Every new word in the past 100 years. Our language is dying because it can't keep up with technology and thus we simply use english as a placeholder.

punctual, I think

Thai has no single word for siblings or sister or brother.
Siblings: older sibling + younger sibling
Older sister: older sibling + female
Older brother: older sibling + male
Younger sister: younger sibling + female
Younger brother: younger sibling + male

I've been advocating for this forever. "You guys" is the best choice, but I've actually triggered femenazis with it so something gender neutral would be gr8

>yfw anglos are the real Jews and cultural Marxists

Holy fuck that is complicated.

>What language makes this distinction between "you and I" and "them and I" ?
most asian languages

Depends.
Which of the wives are you referring to?

>what is 'yall'
well, that's what i say naturally
i usually suppress it and say 'you XXXs' instead

we dont have a verb, but we have an adjective: 'punctual'

thats a nice dog, friend

Ah, I know some German and took a bunch of Latin in College, but I have no experience with any asian languages beyond the superficial exposure attendant watching anime.

>dkn

>tfw in your language words related to love are french, words related to science are latin, people tend to use english words nowadays.
Fuck, this country always fell for lingua franca meme. Until 15 century latin was official language of Poland, because of muh western civilization.

how do you think we feel? we started out speaking a dutch dialect

Vietnamese has a similar system too, although it's simpler. Do you call your dad 'dad' and call yourself 'son' while talking?

Ty she's a dear

We do that here
Mothers call their sons/daughters "mama", fathers call their sons/daughters "baba"

No, cousin marriage is rare outside small villages and deserts

We have that here
صاحب/صاحبة
friend(m)/friend(f)
But more common to use
حبيب/حبيبة
love(m)/love(f)
When referring to bf/gf
But most of the time it's also used in a friendly way, specially since guys call each other "habibi" and girls call each other "habibti" all the time
Even mothers call their sons "habibi" their daughters "habibti" etc
