Ah that too

Wait, also as "let's"

but otherwise it just 'softens' the verb

"Mal schauen"

Schau mal

Dang, I never thought about these particles as having no fixed meaning

yeah, same thing; "let's go to the zoo" vs "we're going to the zoo"

And i speak german since I am 5

Hrm, so German is more literal than English (as the latter heavily relies intonation)?

wow, impressive

Although, I'm looking for confirmation bias at the moment, to be honest.

I guess being fluent in a language robs you of the perspective, because you start taken things as a given and never examine/question them

i learned as an adult in conversation more than text

diffrent experience

(Back to structure & order as we were discussing earlier.)

my spoken is about 10x better than written; most words i haven't seen before lol

yup, well structure and order are the cornerstones of german

so it the idea of 'definition' as most noun forms don't require adjectives and can stand alone

it also encourages 'discrete thinking'

Right, and the bias which I'm trying to back up is language informs thought processing.

cause there is a penalty for every detail phrase

I went to the vet... with the cat... on the way to the mall.... with Susan... etc

@Laucivol Not quite. English is just "analytical" language
Which means you are constantly solving a puzzle whenever you read an english sentence
The words in english have such a plethora of meanings, that a listener/reader must pay attention to the sentence context in order to assign the correct meaning
It is literally a semantic sudoku you have to solve on the fly

for each of those phrases in german, i'd have to move the verb to the end then remember the order

Which is hella fun, I would add - Uksio.

It does make you adopt a certain way of thinking

Right, which is the premise I'm at

maybe, also adds to confusion

Ventriolquist = Bauchreder

German sentences can have absolutely 0 meaning till you hear the verb at the end

bach = stomach; reden = to speak

Pain in the ass for the interpreters

simple

Confusion or fun. Just a certain point of view.

ambiguity

not really confusion

german is so closely typed often you don't even NEED the noun to infer the object

True, but confusion is a potential result that ambiguity.

Ich nehme die zum TierArtz

Ok faggots
