day 7, WEEK 7

LANGUAGE IS SILLY:

"we would like each other the most" can be expressed in just one word in swahili, as can "i did not go there," "it will not be cut up," "he studied it here," "i have not already given it to you" and many more

"sol" means "sun" in spanish, but "earth" in french

in french, "vagina," "clitoris," "ovum," "milk," and "eggs" are masculine while "masculinity," "sperm bank," and "dick" are feminine

"sex" is masculine in spanish but feminine in french, but "orgasm" is masculine in both

the sound /ya/ doesn't really mean anything in english unless you're canadian (lolz) but means, "already" in spanish, "I" in russian, "of" in swahili, "yes" in german, "there are" in french, and among other things "tooth" in mandarin chinese

the character for "it" in chinese, 它 is a knife under a roof

the character for "study" is 学: a boy with a fancy hat

"good" is 好: a woman and a boy

in mandarin chinese, america (美国) is literally "beautiful nation," germany (德国) is "moral nation," france (法国) is "lawful nation," china (中国) is "middle nation," and japan (日本) is "sun tree"

the word "fucking" is one of the only--if not the only--word in english that can be placed in the middle of a word as an infix, rather than as a prefix or suffix.  examples: "un-fucking-believable," "abso-fucking-lutely"
