English is the most adaptable language in the world. England got colonised something like seven different times up until the mediaeval age. The language that came out of the end of that process is precision designed to accommodate unfamiliar words and grammar. There’s no better language to put a loanword into. And it’s really easy to invent new grammar for English, which is why English has the most neopronouns.
English has sacrificed its logic and structure to grow fluidity.
English can certainly be difficult! It can understood through tough thorough thought though throughout the learning process.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
A real English sentence.
Yeah I never understood that one myself
Unless I’m missing something it’s supposed to be Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
Bison from the city of Buffalo bully other bison from the city of Buffalo.
Buffalonian bison [who] Buffalonian bison bully [also] bully Buffalonian bison. Eight is correct!
Ah got it, thanks!
I’m a fan of the phrase “before was was was, was was is”"
I’d guess this sentence would be just as flashy in any language really, not just in english
If y’all ain’t get the gist of it y’ain’t thunk it thru enuff.
This was the easiest sentence to parse out for me…
No. It’s shit
