It's the "clip" in the sounds.<br /><br />Plus, they are natural bullies -- dogs see that. Dogs are intuitive that way -- and cats.... Cats will bite Germans....H.

Certainly, the way we see things is conditioned by how we can describe these things in our own language. A Frenchman could see the same thing as I, and it would impress his consciousness in a different way because of the different language constructs it would have to pass through. I've always really wanted to see things through a different language construct than English. But that's not possible unless one is fully fluent in the other language - and perhaps not even then.<br /><br />Discuss.<br /><br />Heh. Kidding.<br />Or, rather, I'm not. Once you're fluent in German, we can have the discussion. I very much look forward to it, dear. ;-)Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806742166270425783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449042079826318383.post-8649485823394206232009-12-10T16:32:15.802+01:002009-12-10T16:32:15.802+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806742166270425783noreply@blogger.com
