Why your language sucks

Name: Anonymous 2009-07-23 13:27

Chinese and Japanese
Hey, guess what? Advanced societies stopped using ideograms three thousand years ago and for a very good reason: It's fucking stupid having to learn one symbol for each word. Get yourselves a fucking alphabet, you savages.
Chinese has the added retardedness that it can be ambiguously written in either direction.

English
The only thing more stupid than a language with ideograms, is a language with incomplete verbs.
Why is there no way to know if the written word "read" is in the present, past, or participle?
Why is there no past, future, or infinitive tenses for "can"?
And I can't forget the lack of distinction between singular and plural second persons.


Feel free to add more to the list.

Presente - Present
Passado - Past
Preterito perfeito - Past perfect
Pretéito imperfeto - Past imperfect
Pretérito mais que perfeito - Past more than perfect
Futuro do presente - Future of the present
Futuro do pretérito - Future of the past

(subjuntivo) - (subjunctive)
Past
Future

(imperativo) - (imperative)
affirmative - negative

(infinitivo pessoal) - (personal infintive)
(infinitivo impessoal) - (unpersonal infinitive)

(gerúndio) - (dunno lol)

(particípio pessoal) - (pessoal participle)

This is a list of the translated verbal times avaiable in portuguese, witch we use only 20% of them
