Wow man! Iβm extending my vocabulary by chatting with you!!! I had never heard of βindomitablyβ before ;-)
Thank you! ;-)
That's wondering to hear, @borniet! I love language, and languages, so any that I learn or know, I want to use with excellence. English is a huge language, with so many nuanced ways to say things, biased as it is, as all languages are, in certain areas of life over others. I love a back-and-forth of learning! I love the words 'indomitable' and 'indomitably'! You're deeply welcome, brother, I'm grateful to share! π π π β¨ π€
Very much appreciated!!!
Same here, I love languages, and love learning new languages as well. I donβt speak as many as fluent as I want yet, but working on that :-)
Yes indeed, English is quite a huge language, itβs about 2-3 times as big as Dutch, vocabulary wise. And funny enough, sometimes there are different words in Dutch that all have only one corresponding word in English. But as you say, biased in certain areas of lifeβ¦
I also love learning languages, and I learn them quickly when I put my focus on them. I feel stunted because I don't speak at least 10 languages fluently yet...lol!
The example that you give of several Dutch words corresponding only one English word is because these are areas of differing levels of meaning for the speakers. In Dutch, there can be many nuanced words to describe one area of life. But in English, where this area of life is not as important, they gloss over it with a single word. π π π β¨ π€
Yes indeed, different focus, different words :-) Is it the Inuit that have like 20 different words for snow? And in Zimbabwe they have like 1 maybe :-D

Yeppers, you've got the principle exactly. That's also fascinating to me when I'm studying a language, as I see what part of life holds the most significance. π π π β¨ π€

Indeed, the whole SΓ³cio-cultural thing behind it all!
Language is so incredibly complex and powerful in our lives and our society!
Yeppers, you got it! Absolutely, very much so, and it can also limit us as well, because our language defines the parameters of our understanding, and as such even language itself could be used as a means to control. π π π β¨ π€
