I am confused

If I'm free to discuss what ever language quirk I'd want to, then let's talk about German nouns. How did they end up with three genders (die, das and der) for their nouns? English has none, French has two just like Swedish mostly has two but the Germans ended up with five.

For any English speakers unfamiliar with the concept of noun gender it's basically a way of grouping nouns. It commonly effects how they word works with other grammar. For example the German genders determine whether die, das or der should be used when English has the and it does, in a more convoluted way involving other grammar to, determine whether ein, eine, einen or einem should be used where English has a/an

I'm not so sure. From a software perspective adding a kill switch is needlessly adding a potential vulnerability. Given that (as many others have said) the planes will need spare parts and software updates anyways I see it as quite unlikely that there would be an kill switch.

Hela det där mötet är helt sinnessjukt. Nu är det bara och vänta på hur Europareagerar, men förhoppningsvis inser våra ledare att samarbeten med USA kring Ukraina är en mycket svår väg att gå

Yeap, I'm aware of the Denmark and Greenland situation but I was curious if Greenland had their own instance

Is there a instance for Greenland or is it covered by the danish instance?

Yes, that's true

Thanks! My German isn't that good. I've been studying it for four years but sometimes it feels like we're getting nowhere.

Yeah, that may be a better translation

German is weird in more ways, namely word ordering

Sie dürfen nicht ein Feuerzeug mit ins Flugzeug nehmen

You're not allowed to a fire stuff with you in flight stuff bring

But all languages are weird. Here's some french for you

qu'est-ce que c'est?

I don't have the knowledge needed to translate this properly but it's something like "wh'is-at what that is" (its the way they say "what is that")

And Swedish, my native language

I eftermiddags åt jag jordgubbar. Nu ska jag äta middag.

This after middle day ate i soil old men. Now I'm going to eat middle day. (This afternoon I ate strawberrys. Now I'm going to eat dinner)

Given that Swedish is my native language I'd also like to inform you that the English word "smorgasbord" is completely ridiculous. It's literally just the Swedish word "smörgåsdsbord" but without å and ö, so it's pronounced completely wrong. The word smörgås is however also a bit weird, it literally means "butter goose". So your English word smorgasbord means "butter goose table". Also window means wind eye, it's the old Swedish word "vindöga"

I think I'm a human, but now you've made me unsure ):
