As a native speaker of your language and not a second languager: Do you find your language to sound cool or is it just "ok yeah whatever"?

the double romance/germanic register is cool
otherwise i don’t care

>>211755897 (OP)
I sounds retarded to me actually

>>211755897 (OP)
It's puzzling to other Spanish speakers and therefore based since I have no respect for them other than good dubbers and spaniards (Their language, their right to seethe for free).

>>211755897 (OP)
It just sounds and looks neutral, I don’t know how to describe it any better

>>211755897 (OP)
It's like it's okay, but I'm pretty comfortable on my accent.

>>211755988
Thanks for Nokia

>>211755897 (OP)
Italian sounds great imho, I even like most of the regional accents

>>211755897 (OP)
I think its cool because with it, it carries my identity and culture along
and seeing other people speak it makes me happy because hey, thanks for appreciating my language :D

>>211755897 (OP)
It's beautiful when beautifully used.

ASPIRAÇÃO

Ser palmeira! existir num píncaro azulado,
Vendo as nuvens mais perto e as estrelas em bando;
Dar ao sopro do mar o seio perfumado,
Ora os leques abrindo, ora os leques fechando;

Só de meu cimo, só de meu trono, os rumores
Do dia ouvir, nascendo o primeiro arrebol,
E no azul dialogar com o espírito das flores,
Que invisível ascende e vai falar ao sol;

Sentir romper do vale e a meus pés, rumorosa,
Dilatar-se e cantar a alma sonora e quente
Das árvores, que em flor abre a manhã cheirosa,
Dos rios, onde luz todo o esplendor do Oriente;

E juntando a essa voz o glorioso murmúrio
De minha fronde e abrindo ao largo espaço os véus,
Ir com ela através do horizonte purpúreo
E penetrar nos céus;

Ser palmeira, depois de homem ter sido! est’alma
Que vibra em mim, sentir que novamente vibra,
E eu a espalmo a tremer nas folhas, palma a palma,
E a distendo, a subir num caule, fibra a fibra;

E à noite, enquanto o luar sobre os meus leques treme,
E estranho sentimento, ou pena ou mágoa ou dó,
Tudo tem e, na sombra, ora ou soluça ou geme,
E, como um pavilhão, velo lá em cima eu só,

Que bom dizer então bem alto ao firmamento
O que outrora jamais - homem - dizer não pude,
Da menor sensação ao máximo tormento
Quanto passa através minha existência rude!

E, esfolhando-me ao vento, indômita e selvagem,
Quando aos arrancos vem bufando o temporal,
- Poeta - bramir então à noturna bafagem
Meu canto triunfal!

E isto que aqui não digo então dizer: - que te amo,
Mãe natureza! mas de modo tal que o entendas,
Como entendes a voz do pássaro no ramo
E o eco que têm no oceano as borrascas tremendas;

E pedir que, ou no sol, a cuja luz referves,
Ou no verme do chão ou na flor que sorri,
Mais tarde, em qualquer tempo, a minh’alma conserves,
Para que eternamente eu me lembre de ti!

it goes hard

>>211755897 (OP)
I find it cool if it's spoken properly and by a cultured person, just like most languages

>>211755897 (OP)
don't really care
if you master it, cool, that's quite a feat, at least phonologically
but yeah, no, nothing special

>>211755955
kurva anyad

notice how only one country had to post some stupid long.poem that the rest of us can't even understand anyway, just taking up space in the thread

>>211755897 (OP)
It’s just the default to me

>>211755897 (OP)
When you understand a language it stops sounding like anything and just becomes a tool for communication.

>>211755897 (OP)
its a beautiful language. both serbocroatian and true croatian.

>>211755897 (OP)
I appreciate how I can make sounds like "śćczdż" effortlessly which would probably be very hard for the rest of the world. Otherwise I kinda dislike polish since it seems so illogical and random compared to the other languages I know

>>211756971
This. The only thing I have any particular feeling on are dialects/accents.

Pretty average. There's no tone variation so it doesn't sound like singing like in other dialects eg Cypriot Greek

>>211755897 (OP)
Mine sounds pretty vulgar to me, which is good.

>>211756941
also a terrible meter
t. poetry enjoyer

>>211757712
The alexandrine is the second most celebrated meter in the Portuguese language and the single most celebrated in the French one.
Metrically speaking, the poem is perfect.

>>211758172
not saying it isn't
just saying it ain't good
end rhymes can fuck off as far as meters go

2nd option
i dont even realise how i pronounce words so i dont know how it sounds

>>211755897 (OP)
I find it very boring
Yeah we have some nasal diphthongs but they aren't that rare and don't sound as cool as front rounded vowels (like the french u, eu and german ü, ö)
If my native language was a meme language (with front rounded vowels) spoken here I'd be happier

>>211755897 (OP)
I like it but in a baseline way, like a foundation you know?

Yes.
Finnish is extremely beautiful, logical and poetic language.

>>211755897 (OP)
>Do you find your language to sound cool or is it just "ok yeah whatever"?
honestly, it sounds fucking stupid, ESPECIALLY when it comes to dirty talking during sex, it's extremely childish and cringe
I genuinely prefer english for everything

>>211755897 (OP)
I like to hear it, but I hate to read it. Mostly because of German comments on youtube I think.

>>211758520
That's a very personal taste of yours that's not taken seriously or even thought of by the majority of poets.
Rhymes weren't used in Antiquity because Latin and Greek have many cases, therefore many similar endings, but have been used in Romance languages, and in many others, for a thousand years or more. Besides, rhymes are not a part of meter. Meter has to do with the measure of the verse, which in Portuguese and other romance languages means the number of syllables. The meter would remain perfect even the rhymes were terrible (they're not).

>>211755988
this, it's like describing the taste of water. it's when dialects are involved, then you can have your thoughts. mine is of course neutral and based while the other is hillbilly speak and cringe

>>211755897 (OP)
>Do you find your language to sound cool or is it just "ok yeah whatever"?
I understand the language, so I have no idea what is sounds like

>>211756941
NTA but in this case a question was asked and I think he wanted to demonstrate his opinion, it wasn't completely unprompted

>>211758520
>end rhymes can fuck off as far as meters go
You say this because you speak a Germanic language instead of Romance

>>211760396
>in Portuguese and other romance languages means the number of syllables.
* number of poetic syllables, which is different from grammatical syllables

>>211755897 (OP)
I like it, should be pretty high up in the list of good sounding languages. Definitely better than English.
