Useless language, useful only for beta testing MMORPGs.

You beat me to it.

i hate fags who start threads with "discuss"

Easy language with no Kanji. Suck it japs

>>3051008

Easier = better

>>3050934
Why are some letters missing? And get me a Rikaichan for Korean, I don't even know one word.

>>3051008
Can't read VNs dirty corean

>>3051010
Harder = Better
Am I right?

>>3051023

what kind of shitty language needs 10 vowels?

Good luck with your 100+ Kanji guiz. I'll just be chilling here with a better language.

>>3051017
You could read corean translated vns like FH/A.

>>3051042
Korea Banzai

>>3051027
You can ignore the vowels with 2 short lines because they are 1 short line version+y in front. And op misses e and ä.

>>3051010
It still has some of the advantages contributed to kanji, easier recognition while reading by having more distinct shapes, since every new word consists of separate consonant/vowel combination units.

Kanji do that better of course.

I like the language that the second largest economy speaks. Seems like it could be useful someway.

>>3051056
Chinese?

If anything, you should learn one of the BRIC languages

Sejong the Great here, when are you japs going to adopt a modern writing system?

>>3051056
It's useless, you will never master the language as much as they will master english.
Not to mention it's the hardest market to deal with.
You don't do business with the japs, the japs do business with you.

>>3051075

China will pass them after this year. Japan's economy is supposed to shrink by like 14% this year too, but I don't even know how that's possible. That's insane. How can they possibly be suffering worse than the US?

Japanese teach Hangul for Korean in 1910.

The history of the Hangul Alphabet

http://www.geocities.jp/korean10lies/1language/language.htm

Many Linguist say Hangul is the best language in the world.
All good things are made in South Korea and Japs imitate us.
People all over the world respect South Korea except this weeboo board.

>>3051166
Many south Corea is eating dog, north Corea the superior force on planet earth.

>>3051174
I still don't understand this. People bitch at korea for eating dogs, but no one bitches at you for eating a cow, pig, fish, or rabbits.

>>3051180
None of those are dogs. What's so hard to understand?

>>3051092

You can say that about any language at this point. English is the language for everything important.

But I spend 90% of my leisure with Japanese media, a lot of which will take time to get translated or not at all, therefore knowing Japanese is very useful.

>>3051180

enjoy your depression with -7.5% growth lol

>>3051180
>pig
Obviously you never went overseas to muslim country

>>3051192
some of it is probably translated into korean though

Korean drink poop sake.

It actually makes more sense to be outraged over eating pigs than dogs, because pigs are more intelligent animals.

Pigs are fucking delicious. Dogs, not so good.

there are actually some mountain-villages in Switzerland were people that still eat dogs and cats

>>3051120
Slow death. And the fact that China's economy is growing without raising living standards, personal freedoms, etc. Proportionally speaking, China's economy is still incredibly shitty, as due to the size of the country it should be massively larger.

>>3051265

Personal freedoms perhaps, but how can you say living standards haven't been raised? Hundreds of millions have been lifted above the poverty line since the reforms of 1978.

>>3051210
Yea sure a small amount is translated into Korean. But what's the point of learning Korean to wait on some Korean translations, when you could just learn Japanese and play everything you've missed and everything that's coming out?

>>3051276
Ok, I'll correct myself. Living standards haven't been noticeably raised for a majority of the populace. People seem to get blinded by the incredibly vocal, highly advertised upper class of the country， and gain this assumption that everyone is living nicely. The distribution of wealth is too absurd to believe, without seeing it for yourself. I'm in China right now.

>>3051279
because it takes significantly more effort to learn jap than korean?

>>3051296
By the same token wouldn't it be significantly more worth it in the end?

>>3051296
No it doesn't.

なぜ、OPは/jp/で韓国を宣伝しようとしているのですか？
正直。気持ち悪いです。

sure is /kr/ in here.

>>3051321
taking years to learn how to read compared to 30 minutes?

>>3051721

You're forgetting the whole grammar thing. Also, Korean has fucking vowel harmony.

>>3051721
Just because you failed to learn kanji doesn't mean other people do. Korean also has more complicated grammar, offsetting the kanji thing.

>>3051752
the fact that non-special ed high school students in japan are still learning how to read should speak volumes about what a crappy writing system they have

>>3051918
No they aren't. Any child that wants to read learns how to read quite quickly.

Wait, don't koreans also learn chinese characters?

>>3052005
Yes, but they aren't used in writing very often.

>>3051952
so why do high school students still have classes for learning more runes?

>>3052265
Because some of them still can't do it. As I say, anyone who reads (novels etc.) in their spare time can read just fine. High school kids in Western countries get taught their language in high school too, you know.

>>3052273
I don't know what kind of retarded kids you went to school with but everyone I knew could read by 3rd or 4th grade.

annyong

>>3052324
Now you're just trolling. Most children can't read everything until they are quite old. Like 14 maybe.

>>3052273

>some of them
All my classmates always study hard for their weekly kanji tests at my high school and they are all struggling with the new and weird kanji they study all the time

If you think Kanji is the hardest thing when learning Japanese you obviously don't know anything about the language.
Sure, it's a grind, but it can be learned in a few months.
Learning thousands or tens of thousands of words and the small nuances of grammar takes FAR more effort.

So no, Korean is not easier than Japanese. Especially since it has even more complicated grammar, and there are far less learning resources available on the internet about Korean.

>>3052401
But those kanji are rarely used. You can read newspapers and most entertainment media with only a thousand kanji or so.

>>3052394
Most kids have learned to read already at age 9 atleast. Still doesn't mean that they know what every single word in their language stands for. I still hear some synonyms that I've never heard of.

>>3052428
If we're trying to stay at the topic of comparing writing systems, I should probably now say that I'm most likely not going to see any "rare" alphabet even if I'm reading some novel

>>3052428
>you can read newspapers [...] with 常用漢字
ｗｗｗｗｗｗｗ

>>3052434
Complex grammatical structures will still confuse children of that age, and their vocab will be limited. Exactly the same for Japanese.

>>3052441
Yes, because kanji are directly comparable to an alphabet...

>>3052448
Pretty much, besides names and locations.
