In Polish, we have three grammatical genders, just like in German. Except... they don't match! 😂 And that's a nightmare, because in Polish, "kot" (cat) is masculine, but in German it's "die Katze", so suddenly the cat is a woman! 😂 And there are SO MANY differences like this! We also don't have articles in Polish at all, which is probably why I keep messing them up in English. They just feel like such an artificial feature to me! 🤣

In Bengali, we also have three grammatical genders: male, female and neutral. Which means, a cat is just a cat - neither male, nor female. But of course there can be a male cat and a female cat. Just like, human - neither male, nor female. Then there's man and woman. This is understandable. But if cat is female by default, then what is a female cat? 🤣 Natural languages are ambiguous. That's why I keep telling people, AI will not replace programmers, because an ambiguous non-deterministic language can't replace an unambiguous deterministic language. They think they'll not need us, until they'll actually need us, then they'll need us 😂😇🥰
@georgekobaidze · 10h ago
I see your point but AI is getting better at covering ambiguity 😄but regardless, it’s still far from fully replacing programmers for sure.
@georgekobaidze · 10h ago
Yeah, genders don't really match across languages, so you can't rely on what you already know, which makes things infinitely harder 😄 As for articles, yes, they can be confusing at first, but once the language becomes second nature, you start to understand their benefits.

Thanks, Giorgi, I read your two posts. I'm Italian and now live in Georgia. Beyond the technical quality of your experiment, which I greatly appreciated, your explanation helps me better understand why my knowledge of the Georgian language is so poor after four years. My wife is Georgian, but she speaks Italian fluently, which is perhaps why I was also lazy and unmotivated. I've learned the entire alphabet, I can read, and I can write using Georgian characters, but I don't understand what I'm reading. And then there's phonetics... some sounds are truly difficult to reproduce (or even just perceive) for someone who hasn't experienced them since childhood. Anyway, thank you, it was truly educational. Didi Madloba.

Arafris!😄🙌 I'm glad my article helped a little. Georgian really is an S-tier language when it comes to complexity and I totally understand why you're struggling. It's a completely different world. Phonetically it resembles Italian a bit, since both love ending words with vowels, but beyond that they're nothing alike. Don't stress too much about learning Georgian, especially since your spouse speaks fluent Italian. Just enjoy the process, and things will click much more naturally that way.

My native language is Hindi But wait, I’m from India, where we have 22 officially scheduled languages and hundreds of other languages and dialects! Sometimes it feels like learning one language isn’t enough to survive here. Hindi has grammatical gender, so even objects are either masculine or feminine. We don’t have articles like “a” and “the” in the same way English does, and we use postpositions instead of prepositions. Basically, in India, you can travel a few hundred kilometers and suddenly feel like you’ve entered a whole new language universe!
@georgekobaidze · 6h ago
Actually, we also have quite a lot of dialects here and we're a tiny country. So I can only imagine how many dialects are there in India.

I’m from Rajasthan, India, but because of my job, I live in South India, where people speak different languages. Sometimes, I can’t understand what they’re saying. Btw, I think we probably all think in our first language. At least, when I write in English, I still think in Hindi. Haha! 🤣
@georgekobaidze · 5h ago
Actually, huge exposure to English, through films, games, music, also living in the US for a few months for my PhD research and working at an international company for years, actually changed the language I think in. It sounds strange, but I think in English now, probably also because some things are simpler to describe and express in it.
@technogamerz · 5h ago
I understand! I’ve done all my studies and interviews in English too. I just meant that I really, really love Hindi! ❤️ I’ve watched many of your videos, and I know your English is good too. Now, I simply want to learn your language! ✨ I absolutely love learning new languages. Wish me luck!

One thing I find fascinating about India is how language can shape the way we see and experience the world. 🇮🇳 The same joke, emotion, or idea can feel completely different depending on the language we use. It makes me wonder whether we think differently because of the languages we speak, or whether language simply changes how we express our thoughts. Here’s a question I’d love to explore: If you became fluent in a completely different language tomorrow, do you think it would change your personality and the way you see the world, or would you still feel like exactly the same person? 🤔
@georgekobaidze · 5h ago
Thank you! But sometimes I cringe when I watch my videos before posting them. I catch myself saying something the wrong way, and I'm like, "You damn idiot, Giorgi!" Oh, looks like you're taking on a huge task. It's going to take a long time and a lot of patience, so let me know if you need any help.

@georgekobaidze · 5h ago

🇭🇺 In Hungarian, much like in Georgian, there are no grammatical genders; however, our system of inflection is highly complex, allowing for the expression of a vast array of concepts with great precision. For instance, if I use the term párom (my partner), it refers to the person I am with—not specifically as a "wife," but rather as my significant other. This term doesn't inherently specify my gender or that of my partner, Melinda. The root word is pár (pair/partner); something can have a pár even if it isn't a person—for example, in the question "Where is the párja (pair/other half) of my shoe?", I am looking for the other half of the pair. Furthermore, the base word cipő (shoe) becomes cipőm (my shoe) with the addition of the suffix -m ; if I were referring to your shoe, it would be cipőd . This led to a funny moment when I was chatting with Claude and used the word párom (my partner). He replied by saying, "Give my regards to párom [my partner]"—but since párom implies my partner, he should have actually said, "Give my regards to párod [your partner]."
