"A" and "the" are genders? Hmm, I need to study my own language more.Santaissick wrote:Yes, auto comes from automobile and Germans use auto as well. Word auto is very often used as example when talking about this kind of things, partly because it is word that can be understood pretty well in many languages, I think.
There are genders in many languages. French use feminine and masculine and Germans add neurtal version. And there are articles like "a" and "the" in English as well. But there are no articles or genders in Finnish. Instead, pronouns affect the conjugation of words.
auto, autoni - car, my car
autot, autojeni - cars, my cars's
autona, autonani - as a car, as my car
Also, what xyster said is right. This is elephants exploding diarrhea. We are way off topic

I didn't mean they are genders. They are articles. Little "words" in front of "real" words. In English those articles, a and the, are indefinite article and definite article. It gives, for example, information about do we know the object or is it something new.John wrote:"A" and "the" are genders? Hmm, I need to study my own language more.
Please, correct my mistakes. Also, there are no articles in Finnish so I'm really the last person to talk about them. Santaissick wrote:I didn't mean that they are genders. They are articles.

In French there are, for example, "un", "une", "la", "le" and "les". (It's been long time since I studied French and I wasn't good in it, so I might make mistakes. Also, there are more articles but those were the ones I remember.) They give same information as "a" and "the" in English (definite and indefinite), but they also tell us the gender of the object we are talking about. In French every substantive has gender.
Sorry for my English, and I'm not a damn language teacher so I really know nothing
The purpose would be to add a bit of depth into the cities and bring more character to it. They may alter your stats in some way or another if you interact with them. There is no point to a Starbucks in a mall, but people seem to enjoy visiting and spending all their money there regardless. Same goes for a prostitute and their prostitution house... except they don't sell cheap arse coffeeBlxz wrote:It actually sounds kinda stupid to be honest. It sounds like a cheap gimmick. Ohh, look, we have protitutes.....whats the point of having them?
Yeah, it would be a bit of a challenge, but it is just an idea. I doubt that the dev would have time to even give it a shot, or if he's even interested, since he has all kinds of other things that are more important to do with the gameplay, economy, already announced features and all the bugs.Santaissick wrote:I know that I'm raping the whole topic here again but I just found something that is too funny (at least I find it funny even tough everyone else disagrees) to keep secret. Here is supposed to be every version of the word "shop - kauppa." After you learn this, you can say you can speak Finnish: http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~fkarlsso/genkau2.html
PS. I think prostitutes and such can add fun little details to game. But the problem is that implementing them is really hard. It is hard to make them look that they are not just cheap tricks to make the game look more "mature" or "hardcore" or something.
Never was able to purchase that pleasure palace though (highest estate in the game)
