What is the main advantage of the Belarusian language?
A discussion on the advantages of knowing and using the Belarusian language has erupted in social networks. It was initiated by Threads user dlapryliku.
"I never even thought about why I need the Belarusian language," he writes. - The most important advantage is that I no longer read insults from Russians against our language and country. And in your opinion, what are the advantages of the Belarusian language?"
Other users responded to the author of the post. The site Charter97.org quotes the most popular comments:
- The advantage is that scammers are very easy to scare off: as soon as someone calls me and I see a Russian number, I answer in Belarusian. At first they get angry, and then hang up.
- The advantage is that, knowing our language, it is easy to understand Poles, Ukrainians and other peoples.
- How many languages you know, how many times you live. But to feel yourself a Belarusian precisely due to the knowledge of the language - isn't it an advantage?
- Our very advantage. One classical writer said that it, our language, makes his mouth taste good. You can't say it better than that.
- You don't have to go to a person's profile to make sure that he is not from Russia for the sake of feeling comfortable.
- I immediately see Belarusians, understand Ukrainians, it is much easier to learn Polish, it is an opportunity to join the Belarusian culture and understand the Belarusian character.
- You immediately understand what qualities a person has and how he treats the Belarusian people. A Russian-speaking person with similar views to me seems more alien than a Belarusian-speaking person with the opposite opinion.
- This is your native language and you want to speak it and promote it. This is the main advantage.
- Language is our shield.
- The feeling that you have not betrayed yourself, your ancestors, that you embody a Belarusian.
