In Polish, “ręka” can mean both arm and hand and which one it is is context dependent

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects
3·11 days agoI’d also guess that the large number of vowels in English has to do with it, General American English has around 16 vowels (counting both monophthongs and diphthongs, other varieties of English have similar amounts)
I feel that when there’s that many vowels, the exact quality of the vowel is less important and thus they can shift around more

4·11 days agoAre you confusing Scots and Scottish Gaelic? Scottish Gaelic is the one that’s spoken in the western isles, Scots is across most of the rest of Scotland, including big cities
Scots is hard to tell from English sometimes because Scots has undergone near language death, where it adopted more and more features from English as it was taken over, and Scots was regarded for a decent while as nothing but bad English

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)?
1·18 days agoIs it? I tried checking in a dictionary but it didn’t list mídheas as a word and “deas” was defined as right/nice/honest, not just “good”

I don’t know if this is exactly how it works in Irish Gaelic, but in Scottish Gaelic the reason there are so many silent letters is because of vowel combinations, broad and slender consonants and lenition
The Scottish Gaelic equivalent of that phrase would be “Thig ar latha” i think, which funnily enough doesn’t contain any silent letters I think
