    There's two types of people, those who agree that this language is better than French, and those who are wrong. In this 29th installment of "Duolingo Speedruns", we find a strong contender for most fun languages. Grab all of the good thing in French, West African languages and other influences and give it a good mix while leaving behing everything that is wrong with French (which is a lot) and you get this amazing language: Kreyòl (Haitian Creole).
    In honor of the island of Tortuga (which belongs to Haiti) and the location and timeframe of the development of this language, this video is pirate themed. So if you like that, hopefully you'll enjoy any references to Pirates of the Caribbean, Sea of Thieves or any of the Assassins Creed pirate-themed games.

    Fun fact: Haitian Creole along with a bunch of other French based creoles retain a lot of features French used to have. E.g. the e in manje not being silent shows how all Es in French used to be pronounced, and Mwen sounding like (Moo-weh) instead of Mwa shows how Oi used to be a “Weh” instead of a “wah”, and also how nasal bowls used to sound so similar to when they are unazalized.

      Where did you get this fake theory ?
      That's because it was pronounced with the sounds that did exist in the languages black people used before learning French.
      The old prononciation of "moi" is not at all "mwen" but moué. E in "mange" is not mute, if you write "mang" it's pronounced with a hard.

    Found this vid on a Kréyol subreddit. I enjoy your enthusiasm for languages. Aussi, I got the 411 on the french negative ne...pas: it used to be one of many forms that emphasized the negated verb. For example - Je ne marche pas = I didn't walk a (single) step; Je ne bois goutte = I didn't drink a (single) drop, etc. Over time though, ne...pas became the standard, and now the ne is often dropped off in casual speech. If you're interested to know more, check out Jespersen's cycle.

    Your Turkish "ı" pronunciation is pretty good, I think you're just tensing up too much. 😅 Maybe your tongue is touching your teeth, so it sounds more like "i." Push it up a little higher to your Alveolar ridge (as if you're sounding out the X-Files theme "dun-dunn"). Love the videos! There is literally no content like this on YT.

    The r/ŕ and l/ĺ are called "slabikotvorné" which basically means that they can form a syllable. Together with vowels (and diphthongs) they are the only letters in the Slovak language that can form a base of a syllable.

  • @yorgunsamuray
    @yorgunsamuray 2 місяці тому

    I have made it into the later lessons and here are some stuff.
    The "ap" before the verb makes it "present continuous tense", hence "Mwen manje" is "I eat" and "M ap manje" is "I am eating."
    The definite articles has a rule according to the word's ending. Like vowel ending: a, consonant ending: la, nasal ending (an, on, en): an nasal+consonant ending (like "mont"=watch) lan....and last but not least, m & nn ending: nan
    "Mwen pa vlè manje ou" might also mean "I don't want to eat you". Also the yo at the end meaning "their" can also mean the definite plural article. The simplified French words kind of makes too many synonymes (lèt=milk and letter) and many different writings for the same word. Still a fun language to learn.
    Sik may be "juice" in Ukrainian, but in my native Turkish it is....well a certain part of the male anatomy.
