I’d do the same thing if my country was invaded every few decades.
Some part of it is because we used to have a dual form in our language (as in between single and plural). The rest is pure sadism as far as I can tell from my years in Polish educational system.

never ask a man his salary never ask a hungarian where did their language come from
A mentally ill dragon outcast settled in Hungary and taught the locals a language as a joke.
If KCD2 really is the most historically accurate video game ever, then does that mean I can learn Hungarian by just getting super drunk with them?
Yes, certainly.
Finnish and estonian too
That's NSFL territory, heh.

These languages perceived as ones very difficult to learn.

Not Safe For Life. An overdramatization on my end.
Oh ok
Man, I miss filthy Frank/Pink Guy.
...let's see you having neighbours like that and keep uour language sane >_>
It's my favorite slavic language. I wish it wasn't so goddamn complicated so I can learn it.
A dlaczegóż pytasz?
