Or is it really bye? How did the person know that "hi" would be the common phrase that everyone would use to introduce themselves? What if, it's really bye when you introduce yourself and hi is verily the phrase for bye?

hello

hmm interesting


well, aloha means both hello and goodbye so...

Fascinating

The world is weird, humans are weird. How did we come up with certain words that would have different meanings? We may never know.

what's weird too is that different languages sometimes come up with the same or a similar word for the same thing

What I want to know is which genius came up with the concept of having multiple languages and knowing what wording to use to replicate the same meaning in different language (let’s say, hello in English but instead, it’s in French) like how did they know that ‘Bonjour’ would mean Hi?

magic


i just wish languages were easy to learn ;-;

Trueee

I guess Spanish isn't as challenging as everyone sets it to be. I mean, hola, buenos dias, adios, see? Already learning Spanish! French is more of a bigger obstacle but once you get the hang of the verbs, it's pretty much just comprehending and understanding some adjectives and their conjugations.

Any languages you're currently learning?

wow pro! almost fluent

not currently lol

i dropped spanish, ill probably pick that up again soon or learn asl because i need language classes to graduate

wbu?

It’s funny cause I am fluent in Spanish since it’s my second language lmao

Oh damn, you need a language to graduate? That’s rough. I do recommend learning Spanish since in my opinion, it’s the easiest languages to learn. Good luck on it though!

I’m currently learning French for my third year of high school. It’s quite a breeze but when it comes to vocabulary, you best believe I’m failing the assignment lol

Woah that’s so cool!


Yea lol languages are difficult for me

Ah, I feel ya! don't give up, it's a long run learning a language but at the end, you'll thank yourself for pushing yourself.

Good luck all the while on Spanish, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually )
