Im so glad i was raised in the language so i can just speak without ever needing to learn this shit. My eyes have always glazed over in English class. An adjective that’s also a verb? Gtfo
The constructed language Lojban doesn’t actually differentiate between adjectives, verbs, nouns and adverbs, because it turns out separating words into categories like that isn’t a useful exercise.
For example, is “shower” a noun or a verb? What about “bike?”
Take the word “green.” In English, color words are pretty strictly adjectives. in English, you say a traffic light “turns green.” In Lojban, you would say the light “is greening” or “greens.” Funny how you can also make English do that, huh?
