You don't get it do you? "We" are not going to talk about anything.It is the way it is.And it's not how you say it is. Got that?!

In Portuguese, the verb "poder" is irregular. However, in Spanish, ...

eito (jpn)

In Spanish as well:

Um, Sander, that link is for Portuguese... Poder is irregular in Spanish though.

How about this one:
Aprender:
Aprendo, Aprendes, Aprende, Aprendemos, Aprendéis, Aprenden.

Posted at the same time...

OK. I stand corrected. Thank you, Sander.

Conjugations of verbs in Spanish are not simple at all!

Compare, the verb to eat:

(German)
esse
ißt
ißt
essen
eßt
essen

(Spanish)
como
comes
come
comemos
coméis
comen

Now you tell me.

As for conjugations of verbs, German is simpler than Spanish.

I know nothing of German - do all verbs have multiple cases in all persons? I see some of them are the same. There are four cases in that German example six in the Spanish one.

I don't think anyone can define a language as simple or difficult. Whereas one characteristic of a language may seem simple compared to others, the imbalance is usually balanced out by another characteristic. At least this is my opinion.

English. Any other choice and the EU would just be fooling itself.

No of course you can't it's all a matter of comparison.

Not only does the stem change it also has 2 different vowels. German is harder to learn than Spanish.But German is nothing compared to some African 'Click languages'.

>>As for conjugations of verbs, German is simpler than Spanish.<<

I was trying to mean conjugations of regular verbs. German "essen" is irregular and Spanish "comer" is regular. So we can't compare one with the other.

But generally, I also think >>German is harder to learn than Spanish.<<
