Groot became a fan favorite right away despite, or perhaps because, he can only say the simple phrase "I am Groot". Now, so far in the MCU we've seen only two people able to fully understand the little twig - Rocket and Thor. What I want to know is, can you or I learn to speak Groot? Could it be a REAL language? Let's find out!

Are you THE purple sponge? (Are you the famous purple sponge or just some random spongeboy?) Are you the PURPLE sponge? (Are you purple, or a different colour?) Are you the purple SPONGE? (Are you a sponge or something else?) In what context would you say any of this to another human being? No idea, but it's kinda funny.

[@connorjenson5845]

You should do a theory on how fast the polar express needs to be going so that it can make it to the North Pole and back. You could use the average bed time on Christmas break for a kid because they are just going to sleep when the polar express comes. For the time they get to the North Pole you could say that it was 12:00. This is because when the little boy (I forgot his name) finds his present from Santa he wants to open it, but the tag says don’t open until Christmas Day this means that it is before 1:00 which is technically morning. For the time they were in the North Pole you could use the record player. You could photoshop the record player next to the movie and count how many times it turns. You could look up the speed of a record player for that song and calculate the time. For going back it would probably be the same speed as going to the North Pole. This would just be an estimate but I think it would make a good episode for Christmas.

I’ve begun learning Portuguese cause the girl I love has Portuguese roots. It’s a lot of fun to do because it makes me feel closer to her (even though she doesn’t know the language) but through her I’ve discovered a LOVE for linguistics. It’s such a magical feeling when you see a foreigner struggle to express themselves so you speak their language and you see their eyes light up with joy and you get to make a new friend! Being able to communicate with any and everyone really sets you in new horizons. I love being able to be so connected to the world and I love how linguistics has that special effect to bring you closer to everyone around you. Hopefully I keep going and am able to speak many languages, it’s truly a passion of mine I haven’t pursued as much as I should

There is a reason no one else uses the phrase "I am Groot" when speaking to Groot. There is a component of Groot's speech that we, the audience, are not privy to. This may be an audio component, but as Quill's universal translator was unable to convert Groot into usable sentences for Quill in the first Guardians movie, this is unlikely the case. More likely is that there is a chemical component to the language that one must learn to apply to the verbal components. Groot may give off smells when he speaks or other chemical markers detectable by several species. Even more likely is there is a telepathic component to his speech that takes time to understand. Most likely, though is that there is a biological component that takes hold over time allowing other species to understand Groot if they spend enough time around him, like spores that a Groot gives off that get into the system of animals and change their brains in a way that allows them to understand Groot even if they themselves are not able to speak it. This would also explain why it is a popular elective among Asgard's student population and Thor in particular as it likely requires little more than hanging around a Groot for a semester until the biological component takes root...so to speak.

This is epic theory comments You won the trophy for best theory in a theory video comment section ! Jokes aside, this seems very possible, also if you can speak this way, (telepathically ) to other non groots, then the possibilities for things like espionage, codes, and plain pranking are opened tenfold! Your enemy catches you? Speak groot, they haven't been near one long enough This also explains why the others in the second movie get better at understanding him.

[@direwoofles9857]

Except “I am Groot” is not used as a single word. It is used to express entire ideas - in which case you could only say some 170k different ideas, not words.

[@QuintarFarenor]

Can you give me the difference between "Idea" and "Word" in this context?

[@nothingbutmemes5537]

Quintar Farenor I think they mean sentences/phrases as well as single words

[@kindlin]

@@QuintarFarenor An idea typically takes a complex series of words with a lot of shared background and at least some jargon (words used only in or regarding specific topics). A word only conveys a very small piece of information. Each word has it's distinct purpose, but many sentences can still be understood perfectly well if a random word is removed.

But I am groot is then always acording to you just one word. It would still be kinda annoying to say "I AAAAMM GROOT" 9 times to say "But hey, thats just a theory, a film theory!"

*that is. so 10 times ;)

[@aceorb1996]

I was going to say the same kind of thing! Groot speaks in sentences whenever he talks, which means he would actually need a near infinite amount of variations and permutations, so a lot of the leg work Matt did was... kinda for nothing... Sorry Matt. :(
