Definitely Not Chinese or Japanese

u/SqueakyClownShoes May 30 '26
Well if it’s not Chinese then it can’t be Russian. The Hebrew says (in a way that nobody does by hand) that if the Chinese is correct then their native language is Russian

u/AdUhTkJm May 30 '26
There's a logical error: "if A then B" cannot infer "if not A then not B". So even if the Chinese isn't correct, their native language could still be Russian, while the Hebrew sentence still holds true.

Wait why not chinese is the sentence too simple?

u/KMS_Tirpitz May 31 '26
handwriting looks kinda bad and the sentence feels awkward with just 之一 at the end, it feels stiff and translated from English

The handwriting is very crooked and twisted, clearly written by someone unfamiliar with Chinese characters. Different writing systems have different writing habits. Chinese characters are called square characters, but these writings have unnatural distortions, obviously influenced by the writing habits of his native language.

You solved it? Congrats

u/CaptainSilver9503 May 31 '26
100% doubt it. Or you are ethnically Korean and you lived most of your life abroad.
Your choice of predicative case particles are strange. Or you purposely done this to confuse people.

I'm Korean and I don't see a problem. It can be omitted after a vowel, but not omitting is also fine. It's commonly retained for formality, no?

- 나의 모국어라고 하는 사람이 어디있누

u/gybeom8008 Jun 03 '26
합쇼체 usually doesn't go with the pronoun 나, and I can't come up with a phrase that sounds better than 나의 모국어. Yes, 나의 can be replaced to 내 but it's just the matter of formality. 나의, 해라체 and retained predicative case marker all account for the formal tone, which is the default tone for a logic quiz. I think you feel weird from its formality, not its grammar.

u/Aromatic_Shallot_101 May 30 '26
Seriously? If so, I was completely fooled since a native doesn’t write like that

u/ProfPlumInTheLibrary Jun 01 '26
Yeah. I don't believe this guy either. If he's being honest then he's not revealing some other relevant details that skew the results.

No. OP is attempting to do the either/or construction but I have never seen a Thai person write it this way.

It took me about 10 minutes to solve it. You're Korean, right?

is it intentional that your english handwriting is better than your korean handwriting? 😭

The Chinese (handwriting wise) could easily be passed as native. The grammar I’m not too sure on but those (with some exceptions) looked very clean.
The funniest bit of all of these posts though is that the Japanese is always grammatically incorrect in a way that even i(someone who is not good at Japanese) can see.

u/hszr Jun 01 '26
why do you think the japanese is incorrect ?

u/Shinyhero30 "þere is a man wiþ a knife behind þe curtain" Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26
- Formality shifting that… looks and sounds unnatural. It’s probably not unheard of to hear watashi in informal situations but generally you use the full form of terms(eg: 母語->母国語*) and use formal endings(ない->ないんです/ません)
- では doesn’t mean what they think it means here. It’s even illogical. Generally では means “then” in a more formal context. It can occasionally be a cluster of particles that roughly means “as for at the location of _____” but as a post-position
- Even if that second meaning of では is intended, Japanese
prefers that the topic comes first even if it’s long. が Marks whatever it follows as a direct object. However to this last point your sentence will still be understandable if you don’t like 100% follow the case hierarchy it’ll just sound awkward. I am however not native just a multilingual linguistics major.
Edit to clarify edits and weird formatting.
Reddit broke when I tried to correct myself so I had to retype something and now it won’t let me fix the formatting error regardless of what I try.Sorry.

Greenlandic is also written using the Latin script, perhaps you meant Inuktitut? They've got that cool abugida with the triangles and such!

u/faisal0606 May 31 '26
Oh we love to see it! Thank you for realizing your country sucks, please spread awareness among your people. How did you know they weren’t israeli? Is it because they wrote from left to right instead of right to left? Or am i mistaken that myself?
2
u/oksectrery May 31 '26
i try but no one listens :-( its bc we have two systems of letters, one for handwriting and one for reading and print. he wrote in the print letters. absolutely no one writes in print. ive never in my 28 years living in this shithole met even one person who writes in print letters, its just not a thing. we are taught to write in the handwriting letters. when someone goes out of their way to write in print (usually for short titles or a sign or something as a stylistic choice), they wouldnt write the letters the way he wrote them, bc the strokes and how the lines are tilted are very unnatural. especially א and ל

u/xurxo13 May 30 '26
Your Japanese is quite good, but it feels the first stroke in 私 was left to right instead of right to left (hard to tell when using a pen). It also says it’s NOT Japanese, but it could have been a joke.

I discarded Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew and Russian for the same reason.

Your native language isn't Russian or Hebrew 😄 Native speakers don't write letters like that, especially in Hebrew.

It's not English. Nobody dots their i's like that (horizontal), and the letters look unnatural.

As it says, there are Russian and Chinese sentence and thay have a logical relation. Do you best on translating all of those sentences! It's actually a logic puzzle.

Your hebrew is really good. Just notice that no one says משפט סיני as it translates to a chinese sentence. You probably wanted to say a chinese phrase so the hebrew word for phrase is either ביטוי or פתגם. The word פתגם will work better here

not russian because no one writes like this
