This is what calls my attention most. During your language acquisition process, your brains may develop some specialized connections to handle such sentences. In Portuguese (and probably in most languages) it is possible to build such monstrosities -- and there are concrete examples which I won't recall now. However, one does that for literaly reasons, to sound overly sophisticated or intentionally difficult etc. It's definitely not a natural way to write, and it probably never happens spontaneously on spoken language. I can, very sporadically, grasp such long sentences in my language at the first pass, but it's always difficult and, even then, I usually reread just to make sure I really understood it.
- tharkun__ 3y agoThe "trying to sound overly sophisticated" is a thing in German too, no worries :) That said, personally I'm prone to this when writing. Even in English. You've also tried. With this sentence, haven't you ;) I can, very sporadically, grasp such long sentences in my language at the first pass, but it's always difficult and, even then, I usually reread just to make sure I really understood it. With some thinking you can probably convert your entire post into a one sentence paragraph.
