i just read in that article that standard estonian has lost its vowel harmony, goddamn europeans spoiling a good language.

[QUOTE=rasputin;17417719]and it's also pretty obvious from their language. agglutinative languages all originate directly or indirectly from the same part of the world. finnish is just markedly different now because of its long period of separation.[/QUOTE]

nah, not all agglutinative languages come there. there are agglutinative native american languages. i do think finnish and turkish are related though.

my favorite agglutinative language is probably spanish

[quote=illmitch;17417729]nah, not all agglutinative languages come there. there are agglutinative native american languages. i do think finnish and turkish are related though.[/quote]american indians and siberians tribes are related, hence the agglutination

[quote=mitch]i do think finnish and turkish are related though.[/quote]

no they aren't directly related, it's just because they originate in similar regions.

on the native american thing, tbh i'd say that they are very loosely and indirectly related to that part of asia too. the finns went to modern day finland back during the last ice age, and the peoples of northern america came across when the eastern part of russia was connected to modern day alaska. i think that's where any traces of agglutination would come from.

i type in the first few letters of inflected words to get the stem and then try to figure out the case from there, i use wikipedia for the weird-*** cases that i don't know

my mom just got a memory foam mattress yesterday

she wants to bring it back

you have to give them a couple days to fully puff up, mines a 10 inch and its ****ing amazing, the 5 inch one is kinda lame though, they accidentally gave us one of those first and we had them exchange it after a week.

[QUOTE]you have to give them a couple days to fully puff up,[/QUOTE]i'mma run and tell my mom that right now, she probably didn't know

Ya most mattresses take a couple days to adjust anyway.

[I]tell her now Alex[/I]

Yeah cause we were unimpressed when they brought it in so we called Mor furniture customer service and they told us that so we waited a couple days and yeah it puffed up pretty nice
