Im scared of the Arabic language only because of how difficult it looks to learn the alphabet
WWisLife
I learned Arabic in an intensive year long course many years ago. I also taught it at a prestigious language school. It is hard as fuck.
glaug
It really isn't as hard as it looks -- it has fairly consistent rules and almost all letters have the same basic features in every position
xoRedvelvet
I literally learnt the alphabet in 2 weeks (with a promise from my mum to motivate me lol). It's a lot easier than it looks. :)
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
it has NOTHING on chinese.
xoRedvelvet
Madarin was crazy hard. The language was catchy to my ears but the writing... I quit in 6 months.
flapperfemmefatale
It's actually pretty easy. I found it about as difficult as learning hiragana and katakana

cousteau
My biggest regret of living in this society is that we don't use base 16. It'd be super useful.
cousteau
(1) It can be divided in halves or multiplied by 2 without making the number weirder, so it's very nice for guessing/adjusting values.
cousteau
...just realized I just said 4 variations of "it can be split nicely".
cousteau
(4) When dividing eg. coins in smaller pieces in base 10 you always get this 2.5 jump (2.5 dimes for a quarter, 2.5 0.20€ for 0.50€).
cousteau
(3) It can be translated directly to binary.
cousteau
(2) It is a perfect square, so it can be split into "four fours". Counting to four is easy to humans; more than four requires you to think.

I prefer the other version: why was six afraid of seven? Because seven is a registered six offender

I honestly never got that joke. I would very much appreciate every non condescending explanation, also condescending ones if I get it then.
CentimetersOfEther
Joke is : 7 8 9. Now say them aloud. Basically, it's referring to the similarity between 'eight' and 'ate' . So, 7 8 9 means 7 'ate' 9 ????
Axewhipe
7,8,9. 7 eight 9. Eight sounds like Ate past tense of Eat in English.

Thank you kindly

Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7, 8 (ate), 9. It both counts upwards and is a play on words not really all that funny.
gambronus
Also because 7 was a registered six offender

I like how they all start very simple and at four it all just gets confusing

Looks like Medieval had issues w/badly written 5 & 6 as Modern 1,7,I -- also note how both resemble Hindu more than Arabic...
robinhoodeast
However the 0 is from arabic
BloodiDodi
Nope. Summerians had a "placeholder" for "nothing". Hindu discovered zero as a number.
robinhoodeast
However the zero is from arabic iirc
IOnceOwnedMoonMoonButOnceHeTriedToLickMyBallsAndRanAwayIMissHim
No. 100% sure the number 0(shoonya) and the concept of zero was invented by the Indians.
nicholasferber
Nope. Indian.
LRonHubbardsOldMother
I believe it is because they generally arrived from India via Arabia that we call them that.
