Oh, that's a joke, @SmilaZ. The Germans will understand. I can't explain it. But it's a bit like Latin Lover... 🤪🫏🤣🍻
And I have it fistfat behind my ears.
If you are interested in SciFi and language you can read either "Neil Stephensons - Snowcrash" or "Samuel Delanys - Babel17".
Thanks to @MarkKordusic for sharing a video where Babel-17 was mentioned. Started yesterday and so far I enjoy it very much.
Language may be like a programming language or operating system for the human mind.
And depending on several factors and how the words are connected and the overall graph looks, the language may be more or less restricted and free and may have different capabilities.
Also the linkage between words and emotions and how we value this emotions is important and has certain effects. Linkages between words in general seem to be important and how those linkages changed over time. Orwellian newspeak i.e. is probably messing up those links.
You don't just speak a language, you think and live by it. It somehow generates your reality to some degree and gives you capabilities to express yourself and build things.
There is a language for example where past and future are being switched, because the people are not so much focused and fixated on the future but look more into the past/back because theybhave the opinion that your past actions decide the future. Which is kinda true.
Endless topic. Resumee is, languages are a very interesting topic. Also withbregards to our different brain areas and advertisement, memes lgoing viral and so on.
h@Thoth for example, recently asked the question "what moves people?". Interesting question.
