Oh, so you enjoy reading boring books?

[LuminFlare]

Fahrenheit 451 is not a boring book, well, at least for me

[NyancatOpal]

Well, at least the title sounds boring ^^

[Morasain]

The name is derived from the temperature at which paper catches fire. It's a dystopian novel.

Fun fact, that's where the error 451 came from. It marks websites which have been deleted due to governmental censorship.

[NyancatOpal]

Holy sweet Celestia,
Thats a good fun fact.

[Morasain]

Isn't it? I have a pretty vast general knowledge in such subjects.

[LuminFlare]

Yeah, having a vast general knowledge makes living more interesting

[NyancatOpal]

wow, "vast" is a new vocabular for me. Didn´t hear or read it anywhere before. I would say "big, great, significant, nice..." general knowledge.
Hey Luminflare, how about a new ava ? ^^ Or at least some counted posts ? You´re here since 2013 and posted just 15 Posts ? ^^

[Morasain]

I could say the same thing about you, though...

[NyancatOpal]

Well, yes you could, but you don´t

[Morasain]

I do. You've got less than 300 posts, and you've been here since 2013 , too.

[iakovl]

you don't have to be active to be part of bronies.de...
active or not

[Morasain]

That might be true, but Nyancat criticised Lumin for not having a metric buttton of posts.

Well my German is not good enough to write some decent posts, and I don't have a good picture to put as my avatar, let alone being original...

Also, most of the posts are written about like 10 months ago

Don't mind it too much.

[Morasain]

From where are you, Lumin?

[LuminFlare]

From South Korea, so actually the English feels more friendly to me than German. I am trying to improve both (actually all kinds of) languages, but it looks like I haven't achieved my standards yet.

[Morasain]

Well, as far as I know, any Indo-European language is hard to learn for you, I guess. Korean should be agglutinative, if I remember correctly. Or am I wrong? I'm not quite sure about this :/

I think it is. It's like Finnish+Japanese sometimes (even though linguists say Korean language is isolated and I agree that to a certain degree). I don't find Indo-European too hard to learn, I would say English is harder than German though hehe

Edit: I forgot Indo-European had many other branches. I will say I don't find Germanic language too hard to learn

[Whitey]

English is harder than german, srsly? I mean, our grammar is like some lovecraftian eldritch abomination. English on the other hand... well, they have one article. ONE! We can only dream of such simplicity. xD

Well I just feel so...
For example, the word Verbesserung just feels like getting better! While 'upgrade' or 'improve' doesn't have that feeling. Or even herausfordern, 'challenge' doesn't have that Heraus and fordern feeling...

Also you don't have to worry about pronunciation in German once you have got used to it... I guess you can trade that with der das die lines.
