Re: Languages Aren't Hard!
I'm curious as to whether the simple copular sentence really is the most idiomatic way to say this phrase in all of the natlangs posted here so far.
In Swedish, the literal translation of the sentence would be:
Språk är inte svåra.
language-PL COP.PRS NEG difficult-PL
However, this sounds quite unidiomatic, and I find the connotation to be vague. It's not evident that we're talking about learning/understanding languages here, since the plural marker on the adjective makes the noun feel markedly quantified, you'd want a preceding adjective to make it sound good, such as: Germanska språk är inte svåra. 'Germanic languages aren't hard'.
A better translation (imo), that remains close to the English version, would be:
Språk är inte svårt.
language-PL COP.PRS NEG difficult-N
In this version it's clear that we're talking about languages not being hard to understand/learn, since the neuter form of the adjective makes it clear that languages is to be interpreted as a generic concept (or somesuch...).
However, an even better idiomatic translation (again, imo), would be:
Det är inte svårt med språk.
3N COP.PRS NEG difficult.N with language-PL
lit. It's not hard with languages.
...which differs quite a lot from the original!
Basically the Swedish idiomatic construction is similar to what you find with verbs in English: To eat water is hard > It's hard to eat water. Swedish just takes it one step further, frequently inverting nominal subjects as well: Languages are fun > *It's fun with languages.

Re: Languages Aren't Hard!
A bit of a tangent:
Spoiler:
I guess the answer depends on whether the point of these translations is to capture the sense most accurately, or to translate the exact sentence accurately. It seems like you've gone and done both.Aszev wrote:I'm curious as to whether the simple copular sentence really is the most idiomatic way to say this phrase in all of the natlangs posted here so far.

Re: Languages Aren't Hard!
Well, for me, my sentence was quite colloquial; I don't use modal particles that often. Instead, I'd say "schwer" anstatt "schwierig" to be honest.

Re: Languages Aren't Hard!
I was actually referring to Testyal's translation, but you're right "schwer" is a better translation. What was your sentence? The sentence sounds really weird to me without modal particles if I try to imagine it in oral discourse.

Re: Languages Aren't Hard!
Oops, I was pretty sure I provided a German translation. But as you say it, I didn't. :D
I think the best translation overall would be:
“Sprachen sind gar nicht schwer!“
