Can you elaborate? I have difficulties understanding what you mean. Do you really mean an idiomatic loop should be 'a jumble of random words'?

  Difficult to explain cause not an expert, but most languages do not have "list comprehension" by post-description. "New York has rats bigger than a dog" comes to mind. In Finnish you can but the adjective word have same ending or grammatical case as the main word. Without those clues the sentence would be nonsensical.

      That is an indo-european language. Those languages have no grammar or rules. You just string words together and hope it makes sense.

        > You just string words together and hope it makes sense. I beg your pardon? Messing the word orders in French or German will definitely mess up the sentence. The German would be something like “Im New York sind Ratten, die größter als Hunden sind”, and moving the words would make the sentence invalid – albeit probably understandable.
