Linguistics

It's a beautiful language but overwhelming. Even i as a native speaker still find it hard to read books in it (tbf i don't use it much for reading and writing, i do most of that in english lol)

The writing system's also cool. Hebrew is also a pretty language imo but the pronunciation is... let me put it this way: It's the danish of the middle east lmao.

Interestingly enough i can understand a pretty good amount of hebrew despite never really learning it except just to read the script itself. In tiberian pronunciation it has many similarities. Hell, i can even kind of understand the torah.

I think the first would be "Snagaag" but not sure about the latter. He was right though, lmao

Words in semitic languages, unlike indo-european languages are conjugated with a system of roots and templates.

Roots are three (or even four) letter words, that are not meant to be used by themselves since they are equivalent to the infinitive in IE languages. So K-T-B would be "to write" and nothing else. No tense, no gender, etc etc.

Templates fill these in, by applying the root to a template. They specify the tense, gender, x-person etc.

So K-T-B (to write) + _A_A_TU (I did this thing in the past) = KATABTU

tl;dr: roots are verbs and templates are context for them

lol i just threw a name, that's how i save my files. i didn't know imgbb showed them but i was too lazy lmao
