Grammar

I parsed the same sentence in dozens of languages so you can understand the language structure and grammar better. It might help you to learn the/multiple language(s)!

Parsed by word type

Personal pronounn (object) verb noun. Conjunction personal pronoun (object) verb [to+ infinitive verb} personal pronoun (subject) relative clause noun verb adverb.

Analysis of multiple language structures

To make it easier to recognise the words in multiple languages from various language families, I coloured each word the same as its corresponding translation. All grammatical word types are shown in the same colour. I repeated the English source sentence each time so you have them together on one screen. It’s an ongoing project, so bare with me for a bit 😉 For now, I’m adding languages from the Germanic, Romance, Slavic, Hellenic, Chinese, Indian, Malay, Japonic and Bantu language families. I’ll add Baltic and Persian-Aryan, various Creole and other languages each with their colouring for parsing and analyses of word order soon, during another rainy week!

English word structure compared to German

English	I love languages. And I want to show you why languages are interesting.
German	Ich liebe Sprachen. Und ich möchte dich zeigen warum Sprachen interessant sind.

When comparing English to German you can tell the sentence structure is almost the same. Only in the second sentence ‘to show you’ is reversed: ‘dich zeigen’. The same occurs at the end: ‘are interesting’ becomes ‘interessant sind’. A similar word pattern occurs in Frisian, Dutch and Yiddish.

Compare English to Frisian sentence structure

Risultato immagine per britse amerikaanse vlag — Being a Germanic language, Frisian has an SVO-order, just like English.

Friese Vlag, Vlag Provincie Friesland 90 X 150 — Being a Germanic language, Frisian has an SVO-order, just like English.

Compare English to Dutch sentence structure

English	I love languages. And I want to show you why languages are interesting.
Dutch	Ik houd van* talen. En ik wil je laten zien waarom talen interessant zijn*.

*The verb ‘to love‘ in English is ‘houden van‘ in Dutch.
**The verb ‘to show’ in Dutch is ‘laten zien’, literally ‘let see’
***the rest of the verbal phrase comes at the end in Dutch (and German) sentences

Compare English to Yiddish

English	I love languages. And I want to show you why languages are interesting.
Yiddish (Hebrew alphabet)	איך האָב ליב שפראַכן. און איך וויל אייך ווייזן פארוואס שפראכן זענען אינטערעסאנט.
Yiddish (Romanised)	Ikh hob lieb shprakh. Aun ikh vil eykh veyzn farvas sphrakhn zenen interessant.

The word order of English and Yiddish are almost identical in this sentence. ‘I want to show you’ is just swapped: ‘I want to you (obj) show’

Compare English to Mandarin Chinese

English	I love languages. And I want to show you why languages are interesting.
traditional Chinese	我喜歡語言。我想告訴你為什麼語言很有趣。
simplified Chinese	我喜欢语言。我想告诉你为什么语言很有趣。
pinyin	Wǒ xǐhuān yǔyán. Wǒ xiǎng gàosù nǐ wèishéme yǔyán hěn yǒuqù.
literal translation	I love languages (language+word). I want show you why languages very have interest.

In Chinese, both sentences again start with the subject ‘I‘,
followed by the verbal phrase ‘love’ and ‘like to show’
plus the rest: in the first sentence the object ‘languages’
and in the second sentence: ‘you languages very interesting’

Compare English to Swahili

English	I love languages. And I want to show you why languages are interesting.
Swahili	Nakupenda lugha. Na ninataka kukuonyesha kwa nini lugha zinavutia.
literal translation	I+love languages. And I+want to+you+show what for languages are+interesting.

Swahili is an agglutinative language. Morphemes like ‘I‘ and ‘love’ are glued together to form words. Read more on Swahili grammar on Wikipedia.

Compare English to Russian

English	I love languages. And I want to show you why languages are interesting.
Russian (Cyrillic alphabet)	Я люблю языки. И я хочу показать вам, чем […] интересны языки.
Russian (Romanization)	Ya lyublyu yazyki. I ya khochu pokazat’ vam, chem interesny yazyki.
literal translation	I love languages. And I want learn you, why interesting languages.

As you can see the word ‘are’ can be ommited in Russian.

Compare English to Latin languages, s.a. Spanish, Catalan and Galician

English	I love languages. And I want to show you why languages are interesting.
Spanish	Me encantan los idiomas. Y (yo) quiero mostrarte por qué los idiomas son interesantes.

‘I love/really like that‘ or ‘A loves B’ as in ‘I love languages’ in these Romance languages such as Spanish, Catalan and Galician is often expressed as something like ‘A pleases me’ or when maintaining the same word order ‘to me pleases A’ or in this case ‘to me please languages’ as can be seen in the above sentences. This verb in these Romance languages requires the grammatical subject (in bold) and object (in italic) to be inverted. Alternatively, one could say in Spanish ‘Amo los idiomas.’ That way you build the sentence using the same word order as in the other languages. But ‘me encantan los idiomas’ is used more often. A form of ‘amar’, ‘to love’ is typically used in ‘te amo’, i.e. ‘I love you’.

Japanese sentence broken up in parts and compared to English

English	I love languages. And I want to show you why languages are interesting.
Japanese	私は言語が大好きで、そしてなぜ言語が面白いのかをお話ししたいと思います。
Japanese (Romanized)	Watashi wa gengoga daisukide. (Soshite) naze gengoga omoshiroi no ka o ohanashi shitai to omoimasu.

Japanese uses particles. As in all above sentences, the word ‘I‘ or ‘watashi‘ in Japanese is marked blue.

Being the topic of the sentence ‘watashi’ is followed by the topic marker ‘wa’ in lighter blue.

Being the subject of the sentence, ‘gengo‘ (language) is followed by the subject marker が (ga) in lighter green. It answers the question ‘What do I like?’ – languages. Read more on the particle が (ga).

‘大好き’ is the verb ‘to really like’ or ‘to love’.

で or ‘de’ functions as the word ‘and’ in English.
