Do you believe that languages have character? You must have heard the phrase "Your language sounds very polite, happy or angry, rude". Do you think languages really have a character? Or do we reflect languages in this way?

I think the situation varies according to our mother tongue. For example, my mother tongue is Turkish, and Azerbaijani language sounds very normal to me because our languages ​​are so close, it can be variable for someone with a different mother tongue.

Actually, I agree with you that they find the German language a bit aggressive in Turkey. They use the phrase "as if they're fighting". You also speak German, what do you think about this? By the way, I'm sure there will be people in other countries who find this language very cute and soft :)

For me personally, the German language sounds a little aggressive :) that's how I see it. French is nice to me, Italian sounds like a song when I hear it :) Turkish sounds like a very "serious" language to me, somehow official :)

For the first time, I got a serious (official) response from someone for the Turkish language. As I speak this language as long as I can remember myself, I cannot look at it objectively from the outside. But maybe you are right :)

Maybe it doesn't sound like that to someone else, but it does to me :)

Haklı olabilirsin yani çünkü kendi dilimize dışarıdan bakmak oldukça zor. Bir arkadaşım da çok hızlı konuşuyorsunuz hiç duraklamadan konuşabiliyorsunuz demişti :))
