Yeah those articles are very difficult. In portuguese we have only male and female but not neutral, so it's far easier.
But well, in greek and russian you also have the problems with the articles, so it's not only a german thing.

Estonian has got 14 cases, Finnish has 15, Hungarian has more... I don't know the exact number (might be 20...)
kala (fish - nominative)
kala (fish's)
kala (fish - accusative)
kalasse (into fish)
kalas (in fish)
kalast (from within fish)
kalale (onto/to fish)
kalal (on fish)
kalalt (from fish)
kalani (until fish)
kalana (as fish)
kalata (without fish)
kalaga (with fish)
This was singular so you need the same cases in plural too which means you have to learn 28 word forms (there is a logic tho)... the hardest part is that there is almost no case system as in Russian, German or Latin where you can predict the right form by just knowing the gender and type of a noun... in Estonian words such as "praad" "laad" and "saad" are declined as "prae" "laadi" and... I don't know the genitive of "saad" tbh...
beautiful examples: "lüsi - nominative/löe - genitive/lütt - accusative" (snath), "süsi/söe/sütt" (coal), "susi/soe/sutt" (wolf)... and "kusi/kuse/kust" (urine) and "musi/musi/musi" (kiss)
So... all Indo-European languages (German, Russian, Persian) are fairly easy...
Oh yeah... found this example of Finnish word formation which completely beats German...
Järjestelmä - System
Epäjärjestelmä - Unsystem
Epäjärjestelmällisyys - Unsystematicality
Epäjärjestelmällisyydellinen - Something that is seen as unsystematicality
Epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttää - To make something/-one be seen as unsystematicality
Epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttämätön - One that hasn't made something be seen as unsystematicality / Something that hasn't been made be seen as unsystematicality
Epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttämättömyys - The act of not having made something be seen as unsystematicality
Epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttämättömyydellä - With the act of not having made something be seen as unsystematicality
Epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttämättömyydellänsä - With his/her act of not having made something be seen as unsystematicality.
Epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttämättömyydellänsäkään - Not even with his act of not having made something be seen as unsystematicality.
Epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänkö - Is it not even with his act of not having made something be seen as unsystematicality.
Epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän - I wonder if it's not with his act of not having made something be seen as unsystematicality.

Well my native language is Hungarian. I speak several languages fluently, those include Slovak, German, English, Spanish, Polish, Russian and Finnish. I also studied Croatian and Lithuanian but only know basic phrases. Well, I actually understand a lot of Croatian because of my Slavic knowledge, and I couldn't tell the same about Lithuanian. I also took the first 6 levels of Swedish on Duolingo.
I would like to learn Greek, Italian, Faroese and Bulgarian/Macedonian.

Jag pratar inte svenska But some day I hope I learn!
No, actually the other way round. My family is Hungarian, but we live and have always lived in the area that now is called Slovakia.
Yes, my generation doesn't speak Russian anymore, but I like it and better for me, if less people speak it around me.
Well, I lived in Estonia for 4 months, and had the possibility to learn Lithuanian at a great teacher, also a Baltic language, which is cool. But my main reason is that this language is extremely interesting from a linguistic/ethymological point of view

slovenian is a bit(well a bit more ) different than the rest ,cause of all that german/italian influences so it is harder for any other ex-Yu native speaker to speak it.
Macedonian is different than bulgarian but many people struggle to speak it. My native dialect is like a mix between serbian,bulgarian and macedonian (though i would argue it old slavic-serbian - archaic with some similarities to bulgarian/macedonian ) so i understand all of slavic balkan languages.I also learned Russian in elementary school so i understand almost all slavic languages with no problems. And yes slovenian is a one of bit harder to understand to rest of languages.

slovak is i believe the closest one to both croatian and serbian .slovenian is as i said before a bit odd compared to two.

Well thanks for explaining, I am pretty aware actually. I am just saying I am better understanding Slovenian with my Slovak AND with my poor Croatian THAN JUST with my poor Croatian. I had Slavic studies for 3 years as an undergraduate and I am extremely interested, so yeah, I believe to know some stuff Thanks tho
