On top of that the grammar is far more regular than whatever bullshit the European languages have. The ber- prefix is always ber-. If you are talking about the past you say sudah instead of juggling with the verbs. No sing-sang-sung do-did-done and all that irregular stuff.
Comment on And they say English is bad
lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 week agoI offer you Indonesian, which has a word for “he/she/they/it” (dia) but no words for “he” or “she”. Indonesian has words for older sibling (kakak) and younger sibling (adik) but it’s rare to specify the sibling’s gender. It ever has rude slang for “primary reproductive organ” (titis, among many others) without specifying wether it concerns a vagina or penis. TL;DR Indonesia is based.

Ber- might be a bad example as it sometimes turns into be- and some dialects make it bre-, but still “I walk” is “Saya jalan” and “Yesterday I walked” is “Kemarin saya jalan” because “yesterday” already makes it past tense, duh!

Oh wow just like Turkish. Probably little sexism in Indonesia and none in Turkey, right?

Nah sexism across the board in both from what I’ve seen, but the language is dope
