odctvrtvrstvit
That's a Czech verb, meaning "to remove a quarter of something."
No, I'm not really sure I can pronounce that either.

That fascinates me for the same reason German does- I want to learn a language that specific.

Something I love about Russian and Czech is just how context driven they are, how words will shift meanings depending on other words around them. It's beautiful, beautiful stuff.

I look forward to studying it all, immensely. I feel like Latin, more familiar to me, will help me prepare to assimilate more difficult languages. It really is a complete context shift, even for fairly closely related tongues.
