Right. Chinese is much, waaaaaay much harder than English.
Though my English isn't perfect, I still scored A's in English. Chinese, on the other hand, I got C's or B's

what is known in latin as casi
if I`m not mistaken (nominativus,genitivus,dativus etc.) ... And in some languages you have up to eight casi
(if that`s the right word
Is there another Latinist on the HC? Scisne linguam Latinam?
The word you're looking for is "cases". Personally, I much prefer Latin or German grammar and pronunciation to that of the English language. I think that articles are unnecessary (although the Germans have about 30 of them once they're all declined, so I'm definitely a Roman there), and I love the way that declining through cases works in Latin (order of words not in stone set is)

It tastes like Crap Meat of course. You've never eaten Crap Meat before?

LOL!
ive eaten crap meat before!
i was home alone, and got hungry right..
SO, i strolled out to the freezer, put my hand, trembling with hunger, down in to the freezer...room.
i pull out 500 grams of meatloaf and immediatley starts thinking of what i could do to this horrible peace of would-be-meat.
i take some spice on it and stuff..
(it was defrosted before i did that)
and i started to warm it in a pan.
it smelled good!
so, it was finished preeeety quick so it start slicing it..
i cut it in half and by god! it was green inside! there were fumes and stuff coming out of it!
and a yellowish liquid...
i didnt eat it, But a nice story

I learned latin only in the first grade in highschool, so
I know very little of it.
I also think that articles are unnecessary , and I`m not
sure that cases are that crucial.German ,I think , is
a well rounded nice language, with none of its aspects
too hard.Although many people comlapin about ten mile words
in it

Are you german, wiseman?
German as native language is not easy, there are so many different words for the same meaning, hard grammar, etc....
But german for foreigners is much more harder than most of the other european languages i think.

Yeah but growing up a native English speaker, It's really hard to get used to gender nouns. We have 'the'. French has 'le' and 'la' and 'les'. German has 'die' and 'das'.
That's more confusing.
I'm only greatful that Gaelic Irish is not spoken here any more. THAT is a nightmare language if I ever saw one.
