Chinese modders are always coming up with interesting content.

I actually have academical experience in symantics and syntax and have participated into some verbal ai projects (not commercial, only for research purposes) also heavily contributed to some hardcore academical translations... All back in the day....

The whole language structure - culture connection thing amazes me. For example, latin doesn't use the subject with the verb. It goes as "sum" - instead of "ego sum" as in "I am"... French verb "penser" - "to think" goes like "penser a qqchose"; think at, towards something; instead of "thinking of something".

These grammatical connectors are deeply integrated in cultural/psychological logical processes... A most basic but solid example for this is: societies with a long history of urbanization, have developed have describe how they point something differently.

For example in English, even if it's 2 meters away from you, you point at it saying "it's there"... It only becomes "here" when you make a step or two towards it and claim the territory/object... In many languages, the object is still defined "here" as long as it's in the same zone with you. Having lived with these people, I found out they're the ones that "feel at home" a lot easier than other cultures when they're at a friends place...

In english, you can define an object by "a", "the", "one".....

"a" represents "any among the categorical group it belongs to"... "one" represents uniqueness in entity, and quantitative definition among the categorical group. "the" represents direct representation of the concept of the category the object belongs to...

Languages without the prefix "the" tend to have lesser scientific/philosophical/conceptual works and more literary works published... (Russian literature... vs German science/philosophy)

I can rattle on these stuff whole night, but have a train to catch in 5 hours, and have to sleep....

And I deeply apologize for fucking minds.. Just wanted to share...
