Languages are like secret codes that people use to talk. Some languages have more words, or different sounds, which is why they feel so unique. For example, in English we say ‘I am going’, but in French it’s ‘Je vais’, which sounds totally different! That’s how languages become special.
Examples
- A cat in English is ‘cat’, but in Spanish it’s ‘gato’, different sounds, different words.
- In Japanese, the word for ‘red’ changes depending on what you’re describing (e. g., akai for a red apple, beni for a red flower).
- English speakers say ‘I like apples’, but in French it’s ‘J’aime les pommes’, a totally different sentence structure.
