Hey Guys.
I am curious if there are speakers on Italki speaking or learning Polysynthetic languages.
I read a lot about them and think it was a nice challenge trying to learn one. Just to get a basic grip on such a language. I know there are no really big such languages, but I wonder if there are some speakers here.
Furthermore I wonder what was the best way to learn such a language, in my opinion it would be really funny to see grammar tables there :D
If there are people out there, speaking such a language, I would be glad starting a discussion here.
Best regards
Alex
I think synthetic/ polysynthetic languages are very intereseting. Unfortunately, as you said, there aren't a lot of widely spoken polysynthetic languages. Synthetic languages are more common, with Hungarian, Finnish and Georgian being the most common ones I know of. And isn't Turkish a synthetic language too?
Japanese treats its verbs synthetically. After some thinking I constructed 座らせられたくなくなる (Suwara-se-rare-taku-naku-naru), which (I think) means "to no longer want to be forced to sit"
Well anyway I want to learn about Polysynthetic languages too.
THanks for your Comment.
In Turkish it works quiet similar.
Kıtap = book
Kıtaplar = books
Kıtaplarım = My books
Kıtaplarımlı = with my Books
But this is not really polysynthetic.
