  • the article doesnt even say that a ukrainian genocide happen, you didn’t even read it. it is a legal text that talks about how russia needs to prove russian genocide in the donbass region. the whole thing started because ukraine wanted to show it was not commiting genocide in donets luhansk, and russia argued this genocide would give them legal basis under the genocide convention.






  • japanese formality system is not that hard, it’s a couple conjugations and it pretty much doesn’t change when it comes to gender, singular/plural, etc. it’s really exaggerated how difficult that is. spanish doesn’t have that many grammar rules for formality in that sense, but it adds another personal pronoun just for that.

    also counters is also something shared among all languages pretty much. a school of fish? sure… it’s just whatever word/ideogram the language speakers decided it was what’s best to describe that group.

    i’m not saying japanese is easy, just that some of those things are a bit not so much an issue as people make it seem to be. i am a native spanish speaker and i have practiced japanese for some time so i know a thing or two about that.
