>English and German have very similar vocabulary and syntactic structure
Hm, the sentences are structured in a parallel way, but is that really proper German? I don't remember anything from high school German class, but people make jokes about putting the verb way at the end. Or is that an obsolete style?
- prennert 6y agoIt's actually great German. Syntactically sophisticated. I am surprised by the use of the subsentence (not sure what the proper babe for this is) which puts the three larger cities in the middle of the last sentence. It would have been possible to place the three larger cities at the end of the sentence similar to the English example. This would have sounded a bit more bot-like, and was somehow what I expected. So seeing this particular German example is actually quite a good example showing the power of this approach.
