    That’s pretty much the Finnish language :D

    Just check out the difference between these two phrases written in our goose-y language:

    Tapaan sinut.

    means I will meet you.

    Tapan sinut.

    means I will kill you.

    (You can use your machine translation of choice to check the meanings of those two phrases, if you wish.)

      This isn’t so different than:

      “I will kill you.” vs “I will call you.”

      Written it looks much more different, but spoken the c in call is pronounced just like the k in kill.
