Which Language Has INFINITE Words... (PWA Countryballs Reaction)

[@dineshmishra3285]

No exaggeration, but you could literally merge letters to any word to create new meanings in Sanskrit, then merge the newly formed words with pre-existing or each other and the process continues, theoretically there's no end. Ancient Sanskrit scriptures and even modern-day writings can and have already had sentences that are one-word long and there's no end. This language is so versatile that it's among the two candidates for the human and machine-mutual coding system being developed

[@sam_vos]

German works in the exact same way

[@e1123581321345589144]

given that machine code is just a chain of 1s and 0s, I find that hard to believe. Versatility is not a characteristic of machine code. you have to be precise and deterministic.

The reason why Sanskrit has so many words is because there are 10 verb tenses for each verb plus a religious tense that is not used in normal speech or text. Each tense has 9 conjugations so each verb has 90 forms. Furthermore, there is a concept known as Samasam (not samosa) that joins multiple related words like subjects and adjectives. This makes it possible to create an infinite amount of words as combined words are treated as new full words.

I think the reason why languages can have a lot of words, but be fairly easy to learn is because they use smallere words and put them together in differemt ways to make more words. Where as language like Hungarian or Danish are hard to learn, not because there is a lot of words, but because there is a lack of grammatic rules and because more words mean different things depending on context.

[@zparkyy1800]

100% correct. I mean we all do it with English but most "English words" are slang and aren't considered words by dictionary definition.

[@zparkyy1800]

And in English we can call a girl cold and it means hot, or I haven't seen you in a minute but it means a while. For example, this is all misleading because there's an infinite number of things to say pretty much in any language and the native speakers only understand lol

[@sheepketchup9059]

They have grammatical rules, they're just more complex. And there're also grammatical rules governing how the words change its meaning when they're in certain contexts too.

[@WhoMadeThisBurger69]

danish... lack of grammar? ohhh you don't know how wrong you are. We litteraly have to take a 3 month mandatory grammar course and exam when we start in 11th grade (when everyone is usually 16 or 17 years old) just to make sure we aren't complete idiots. There is so much stupidly complicated grammar that setting a comma in danish can sometimes be more difficult than learning to kick yourself in the back of the head.

[@amieamie6268]

@@sheepketchup9059 Yeah, I don't mean that they don't have rules at all, I just mean that there's a lot of exceptions and no pattern or explanation for those exceptions.

If I am right, Umlaut in German is like Sandhi in Sanskrit. While Umlaut is only for German vowels, but there are Sandhi rules for all of the Sanskrit alphabets.

Tathoktaṃ= as being told) 2)yad + śaktiḥ= yacchaktiḥ (yad= whose, śaktiḥ= energy. yacchaktiḥ= He, whose energy) --------------------------------------------------------------- And komposita in German is somewhat similar to samās of Sanskrit, except that in samās, there are specific rules and categories. But, Samās is more than just putting one word after another. Eg)1) kṛṣṇārjunau= Kṛṣṇaḥ ca Arjunaḥ ca (Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna) 2) Pitāmbaraḥ= Pitām baram yasya saḥ (one who has worn yellow clothes) 2) Saptadinaṃ= Saptanāṃ dinān samāhār iti (group of seven days) 3) Sītāpatiḥ= Sītāyāḥ patiḥ (husband of mother Sitā) 4) Haribhaktaḥ= harau bhaktaḥ (devotee of Lord Hari) 5) Pankajaḥ= Panke jāyate iti (Lotus- the one who is born from mud) 6)Khagaḥ= khe gacchati iti (bird- one who goes through the sky) ---------------------------------------------------------- What I said about German might be wrong, maybe you can correct me if it is wrong.

That happens when you don't know a language well. English, like most languages, aren't restricted in how you can express yourself. You just express yourself differently. Don't be silly.

[@Liggliluff]

Counting words in a language is weird. For example, in the SAOB Swedish Dictionary, it has 500 000 words, but I'm not sure how they count, because compounds are grouped with the word they're a compound of. Like "fotboll" (foot-ball) has its own entry, but "skolår" (school-year) does not, and appears as a compound for "skola" (school) despite the previous also being a compound of "fot" (foot).

[@SuLokify]

Compound words are used by a lot of languages! They're really useful for native speakers because they're so fast and unambiguous (or exact), but people trying to learn the language will have a lot of trouble and need to read or hear them slowly at first. Sorry for the paragraph and unnecessary explanation, I just think languages are really neat and thought maybe someone reading the comment could learn something or begin a discussion

[@starborneolympus3907]

@@SuLokify Admittedly, German is easier to some because of it. In western slavic languages, we usually have the exact same compounds being used in direct translation. But ultimately, compounding is in every language. The thing about Indian is probably that someone just decided to keep on adding new words into dictionary, bcs rules allow it -- whereas other languages made non-flexible standards trying to prevent further derail of dialects from each other. Mind you, Austrian and German are barely even inteligible, but they decided on single language standard to teach in school, but that also means, that for people outside Vienna(which likely already has a majority speaking german by now), they only learn in what is basically a foreign language. -- at the end that does not make those Sanskrit words actually used by real people though. In Real world, everyone there is probably speaking in some dialect and dont utter a single word present in that dictionary outside of public offices anyway - just like we have it in Europe.

​@@Velu0 You can understand with this example- 1) If I want to say, "He, who has worn yellow garments", I can say in a full sentence as "pītaṃ aṃbaraṃ yasya saḥ". If I want to say it in one word, I would say "pītāmbaraḥ" ✅ and not "PītaṃAṃbaraṃYasyaSaḥ" ❎. This is called samās. In this example, the type of samās used is bahuvṛīhi samās. 2) And then there is sandhi, which is somewhat similar to merging, but not exactly merging : tathā + uktaṃ ≠ tathāuktaṃ ❎ tathā + uktaṃ= tathoktaṃ ✅ (Tathā= as per, uktaṃ= having said/ being said. Tathoktaṃ= as being said) This is done to make pronounciation easier. The "ā" at the end of "tathā" is kaṇthya (meaning it is pronounce by blocking the air from your throat by pointing the tongue towards the vellum) and the "u" in the beginning of "uktaṃ" is oṣthya (meaning you pronounce it by passing the air from your throat directly through your lips). To transition, from kaṇthya to oṣthya, you need to pause. So to make pronounciation smoother, you combine the vowels a (ā= a + a) and u to form the compound vowel o.

Fun fact, the US actually has a 3rd place finish in the World Cup. They finished 3rd in the 1930 World Cup (the first ever World Cup).

The number of words, it depends how exactly those words are counted up... Trouble with counting up unique words is that it may leave out a lot from one language while count in a lot by the same principles. Eg agglutination (eg: boatswain), clitics, cases, grammatical genders, declarations, etc... For my own language, this alone (still excluding agglutination for example) gives over 150 possible intuitive derivative words per each unique root word (mother → mother+ly)... Throw in words that are derived from agglutination, and potential for dictionary size explodes near infinite. It also matters if two words with similar appearance and sound are counted as same word with different (and even conflicting) definitions that have independent etymologies. A reason why such comparison can only be done properly be counting up those words by definitions (and one definition still can have multiple, even tens, matching words). On top of that, phonetics should supercede visual apparence - how it is pronounced has higher importance than how it happens to appear in writing... And then there is etymology, etc, ...
