    Yeah its a sad thing when your country had weather you liked and then climate change ruined it. While i also like the weather in some parts of spain, my favourite thing is very continental weather. Hungary used to be that with -15 in winters and +30-35 in summers and now its wet 0c winters and a bit hotter summers(which dont bother me that much tbf). Its interesting that it didnt just shift up the temperature by x degrees, instead it nuked winter and made summer only a bit hotter.

    If you wanna blow your mind even more, look into hungarian, finnish, turkish or georgian. These are some very agglutinative languages, much more than japanese. If i was you i would skip hungarian and georgian tho because the grammar is unhinged but for what they are finnish and especially turkish are pretty nice.

    In hungarian the articles are only “a”(which actually works like the english “the” but with a form that is “az” which is like “a” turning into “an” in english) and then “egy” which means “a” in english but also means the number one. Most times from what i notice it works pretty closely to what german or english does. Where my whole “it works pretty intuitively” argument falls apart is that you conjugate your freaking verbs and they work in sometimes completely mysterious ways.

    “Eszek egy almát” and “Eszem az almát” – these are just “I eat an apple” and “I eat the apple”

    But “Almát eszek” also works it just sounds more like you are specifically pointing out that its an apple that you are eating(and not an orange for example) and even tho its in the indefinite form it can sound pretty definite depending on context.

    But then “Almát eszem” sounds like you are eating a person named Alma because for some reason not having the article makes it sound more personal.

    “Eszek” is just eating

    And at last “Eszem” sounds like you are pointing out that “I am eating that” or “I am eating that”. Also if its in a more rural dialect it could be just the base form.

    So yeah its an absolute brainfuck in hungarian.

    Wait i thought finnish didnt have articles? I dont know that much about it, im just hungarian(same language family) and also live in sweden which is of course next to finland. In hungarian there are articles tho(the grammar is extremely strange around them, we literally conjugate for them) but i heard finnish doesnt have them.
