    English is THE easy mode language of the world

    hahahaha, no, it is not. A significant amount of words are ambiguous if isolated from their context (take “fire”: as in fire a shot, a flame, fire a worker, “this is fire”?), pronunciation is all over the place, it feels like there are more exceptions than rules when it comes to past-present-future verbs

      Šovė į kažką = shot at something, šovė į orkaitę = put in oven. This is pretty common for all languages words can have multiple meanings.
