Yeah, “den vs denn”, “dass vs das” can be a bit confusing for le foreigner, indeed. I suggest learning Russian next. You’ll finally understand what language can really do in brains (vs minds). And then Japanese … “et boom, c’est le choc.” Shit like ‘Turkish’ and ‘Italian’ can be neglected, not much to understand about submission, obedience and how to ruin your children from a very young age.

wait, those languages has things about submission and obedience embedded in grammar?

  you won't "believe" until you study it. same in french. at the end you won't have to believe, Neo, you'll know. it's how language works in the brain or rather, how language wires the brain, what it does "to the brain". Chomsky isn't wrong. Bad analogy: Think of the C language and how other languages interface with it so they don't have to touch the machine code itself. Now think of proprietary and open hardware and drivers. Why Python? Why Mojo? Do you get Zig? ( I barely know any code, btw, any actual coder is more qualified to speak about a languages relation and work-asAndOnThe-bitLevel-inAndAroundTheWire-Interface than I am ) It's not _just_ grammar (vs gran'ma), tho. it's in the combo of pronunciation, "tone", (syntax and) semantics (ambiguity & conotation) and all the other stuff. levels of lexicology are elementary/fundamental, and, as far as I know, nothing comes close ( Mandarin and Japanese are THE exception ) to the amount of Russian levels ( and the combos, if you ever reach that level, which nobody has done in a loooong time. there's no official records anyway ) it's not even that crazy once you get the pattern. Russian can go "all ways" at the same time. English & German are on another level with the former being much more permissive in terms of personality/individuality than the latter, which is why there's such an immense effort to fuck up the German language, because it's much closer to unambiguous truth/logic/ actual rationality ( not to mention super-rationality ) you'll barely find Germans with a proper command and or understanding of their own language anymore. and no, they won't turn into Hubrismen (Hybrismensch vs Übermensch) or anything like that via language alone. thank you for 'phrasing' your ridicule as a question <3, you don't even know how awesome you might be

    above is me. just watched a short video on the lore of the game Blasphemous and read through a bunch of comments and *holy shit* my seemingly nonsensical idea keeps shaping up. Spanish, partially ultra-religious origins, with great parts of the language building meekness and subservience right into brain structures ... maybe i should focus on symbolism, after all, narratives and so on ... but then again, it's all linguistics and interpretations as well as personality traits/buckets differ greatly between cultures and languages. but an LLM only works with statistical linguistics and not semantics per se, so no chance to align with symbolism and narratives. hmmm...

    I mean, I'm a Japanese native running an accelerated English emulator with master Mandarin and/or Russian on bucket list, so, what do I say...

      wait, what's an accelerated English emulator? Auto-translate to and from?
