What is the cheapest place in Europe to visit?

Eastern Europe is cheap, Hungary sure is nice but I think especially Budapest is one of the more expensive areas of Eastern Europe. Italy, France, the UK and Scandinavia are quite expensive, as is the Netherlands. Germany is probably the cheapest of the western countries.

Thanks kind sir lollsuck!

Hochdeutsch can form plurals 12 ways randomly for example, and it has 3 genders and weak nouns not two like Norwegian or none like English and Afrikaans. Therefore, they have so much stuff, we have less, and we should be jealous. We should overthrow it and replace an southern dialect or we become strong too. I care mostly about the plurals.

Also make sure some intransitive perfects in English are formed with "to-be" again. I am become death, we were arrived etc. it sounds so much besser. Who stopped doing this? It sounds smoother. and why did we stop using pronominal adverbs? They sound smoother than saying the whole prepositional phrase. Whereagainst vs against which, so much smoother the first one.

Norwegian has 3 genders. As has most Swedish and Danish dialects. It's just that standard Danish and Swedish don't use them.

The plural thing comes down to genders and cases mostly. English would have much more if it kept those. Though is still have a few different forms remaining, like children.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

For example in the norm or Norwegian Ivar Aasen wrote down a hundred years ago there would be many versions, but most of them would be of no use to English as they require other things, like genders and such. Not to mention that "the" is a suffix.

These are the conjugation just in nominative.

Neuter:
år------året------år------åri
year--the yeat--years--the years

Strong Feminine
Nål-------nålin-------nåler-----nålerna
Needle--the needle--needles--the needles

Weak femininum
Klubba--klubba--klubbor----klubborna
Club---the club--clubs-----the clubs

Maskuline:
Ende---enden---endar---endarne
End---the end---ends---the ends

If you really want to though you could just speak old English, just modernise the pronunciation and writing a bit

Romania and Bulgaria and Hungary (though prices in the west are higher than prices in the east for some reason)

We also have it rather cheap here, at least from the western POV, but I have read about tourists getting ripped off in certain restaurants/bars in Old Riga, but with all that said, there are still a lot of tourists loving the night life. If you want to experience the night life then I would say having a person of trust is good. If I was a tourist I would probably visit outside of Riga as well, since there is a lot more to see IMO.

Can't you see English is going in an isolative direction? -es/-s plural is universal and keep growing, irregular plurals are few and far between and won't be things that are to catch on in the future. If anything, pluralization may end up with a classifier system a tad more simple than the one you proposed.

But, what is it with your fascination to 'force' stuff into English? We haven't even been able to do a proper spelling reform! Do you think anything as complicated as a new numbering system would catch on?

Those instransitive 'to be' phrases look a lot like the reflexive constructions in romance languages or it looks like there is some sort of dropped agent:

We were arrived [by the chauffeur]

Go make a posteriori English-base conlanguage or just one from scratch if you want to really test your theories.

I think I am sick now! Just fantastic!

[lolIsuck]

Well that sucks, get well soon Joseph.

[Joseph Simonyi de Vitézvár]

Well that sucks, get well soon Joseph.

Thanks lolIsuck! It's not a bad illness, just one of these 1-2 day, came at the worst time moments .

[Daily]

That sounds wonderful. I would love to pick strawberries with you.

We would sweat and work our asses off. Like it should be. I am not saying it would be wonderful there and then but there is no greater feeling than coming home after a whole day of good ol' labour.

[Legio]

We will have so much fun.

Sitting at home the whole day doing absolutely nothing sounds quite nice too. Although I agree that I love that feeling when you've worked hard and just let yourself fall over on the couch.

[General Maximus]

Get well soon, Joseph.

For some reason, I never catch cold. And when I do, it is always summer.

[Joseph Simonyi de Vitézvár]

Thanks Maximus. Mostly Fall/Winter for me when I get sick.

[Sir Adrian]

I was unaware that India had other seasons besides summer.

[AqD]

it has two seasons: rainy summer and rainless summer.

[Vaðarholmr]

There is something called rainless summer?

[AqD]

it happens when there is no rain.

[Vaðarholmr]

it happens when there is no rain.

Wait, hold on.

The rain can stop? Even in temperatures above freezing?

[AqD]

It wouldn't? Where do you live??

[Joseph Simonyi de Vitézvár]

Well good morning all.

I guess it can stop raining. I mean, ever hear of droughts and such?
