« New-York a des rats plus gros que des chiens »
- timonoko 6y agoThat is an indo-european language. Those languages have no grammar or rules. You just string words together and hope it makes sense.

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.
