Ja, Deutsch ist nicht modular aber, ist es effizient.

Excellent video. It's a bit humbling as I realize just how little I know about my own language. I like to say "I wasted all my language skills on English," but I clearly don't know a lot of the terminology and technical rules. One thing the video seemed to be missing was an explaination of the "why" behind the rules. He just seemed to recite from the textbooks a bit.

Yes, language is a fun and vast world.

Getting into the "why" would require way more than the nearly 10 minutes of the video.

intriguing!

[dalonzo9]

Indeed!

So I guess the modularity in this comments section is that of our Obama logos.

Word meanings are fun!

Symbols and their meanings are fun!
