In English, words often seem to have no connection to one another.It’s common to find similar objects that have completely different words to describe them. The words themselves are entirely different in both pronunciation and structure.As a result, when learning English, you’re forced to memorize a huge number of words by rote, since you can’t tell from their structure how they’re related.Take the classic example of “sheep” and “goat”—in English, there’s absolutely no apparent connection between these two words.In Chinese, both of these animals are called “羊 yang.”The fluffy one is called “绵羊mian yang” (fluffy yang), and the one that likes to hang out on mountains is called “山羊 shan yang” (mountain yang).English just keeps coming up with new words, and you can’t tell what any of them really mean. There are loanwords everywhere.
>>537588306why should the words for sheep and goat be connected?

AFAIK there are no wild sheep in English. There are domestic goats which are distinct from mountain goats which are both distinct from domestic sheep.
English is a Germanic language with influence from French (or Latin, either directly or through French) and Greek. So "water" is Germanic, "aquatic" is Latin influenced, and "hydrocephalus" is Greek influenced. Capybara is I'm pretty sure another separate language.

>>537588306English is a germanic language.You must be a freakzoid
Also why the fuck is a chink whining about english having words that are hard to remember when chinkish has like 10,000 letters?
>>537588306It's a mutt language.
>>537589464Hello, you are using a germanic language hehe
>>537589523It is a Germanic language that has been gang raped by other languages.
>>537589404its a mix of germanic, latin, greek, and "old english" (swamp nigger grug noises)english is the yiddish of language
>>537589636>>537589744Hello, we are communicating with each other using a Germanic language.Hehehehe
>>537588306English is combination of many other languages....ancient anglos+latin+germanic words+ words from all past colonies.
>>537588306Aqua is water it latin, hydro is water in greek. English is basically a Frankensteinian patchwork of other languages, but primarily norse and french (the two that fucked them most recently).>>537589414If you look at chink like hieroglyphics, it's actually a lot less letters, they just combine several wall paintings into one to make a "letter".
>>537590104Simply put, It's a germanic language.

>>537590356English is a Germanic language.Tihihihi
>>537590356english grammar directly derived from german grammar. the most common words in english are all directly descendant from their german cognates. the word "english" even sounds german
>>537588306Sheep and goat aren't even the same in Latin; ovis vs capra. It makes more sense to have separate words for animals you're likely to interact with. Or rather, that will naturally develop no matter how you feel about it. Farmers aren't going to keep calling goats climbing sheep. They'd truncate it into its own word.As for the water stuff, that's one of the cooler features of English. It's a Germanic language that uses Latin/French and Greek as prestige languages. So we have a lot of flexibility in creating new words. But it's also an easy, predictable process with results that are generally agreeable to the ears of native speakers. It also contributes to English having most of the most common phonemes, which facilitates the adoption of loanwords.Obviously languages become lingua francas for mostly political reasons. But English is actually pretty well suited for the task even in a vacuum.
>>537588306Anglos have a snowflake syndrome.Why do you think they fled mainland Europe?
>>537588306Your example in picrel is because English has heavy latin/french influences. So some words are Germanic like "water" and some words are latin like "aquatic"
