A brilliant explanation of Synthetic Vs Analytic language!

On the same Subject, Manchu is also a synthetic language, with 5 or so declensions just like Latin along with being non-tonal. This made it a popular choice for Sinologists since it was easier to learn than Chinese, and there was a lot of Chinese books which were translated into Manchu during the Qing dynasty.

I finally understand a couple of things I couldn't grasp in high school Latin in 1973!

Very good. As a native speaker of Portuguese, it took me years to figure out why they print “The End” when a movie is over, instead of “End”. It was crazy to realize that “End” may be a verb, a noun, or a qualifier depending on the accompanying words and also on the way words position in the sentence.

This was fun! I studied Latin for 4 years in high school, and it still helps me with word definitions. But (sigh) I’ve forgotten most of it…
