Why Polish people use so many words to describe a situation? [122]
In english one word has several meanings.For example the word run.It is classical example of that kind of language.
On the contrary ancient greek and german languages have one word for every meaning.(and they use lots of complex words,words which are made by the addition of others and which sound terrible in english).
Slavic languages are further different because they have many words for the same meaning which adds some diversity since the use of these words depends mostly on the mood and soul condition of the speaker and not his desire to be accurate as it happens in german.
But if you speak a slavic language,you get always easily understood despite any grammatical or syntax mistakes,which again is not the case with english.
This happens in my opinion because slavic languages are built on certain roads of the brain which end in some common concepts and so if you present some elements of the road,the listener can understand what is going on and guess the end.On the contrary english has a lot of freedom which does not allow you to guess immediately the end of thoughts of the speaker because he uses by instict what is available for him without adapting common,prearranged forms because he wants to express his free individual approach and says everything unshaped as it comes to his mind.
While the German always respects the structure of the language which reflects for him to the logical structure of reality which he tries to express objectively.
