Ah, I see, are you suggesting that answering “yes” to the question “Is ‘Only a Sith deals in absolutes’ an absolute?” is an absolute in itself?

Then, is your suggestion an absolute as well? Are you a Sith, @8fledermaus8?

We’re just Siths all the way down.

Latin works the same way.

You’re not obliged to structure the sentence in any particular way, but the “neutral structure” is SOV.
If you deviate from SOV then it often sounds like you’re stressing some aspect of the sentence.

Mílités nåtós occídérunt. = The soldiers killed the children.

Mílités occídérunt nåtós quoque. = The soldiers even killed the children.

By shifting nátós to a more prominent position at the end of the sentence, we’ve emphasised it.

Is “Only a Sith deals in absolutes” an absolute?

Whatever it means, no! Sithes are not supposed to deal in absolutes. Imagine a world where Sithes deal in pink flowers. That would be so much better. Thus, it follows that Sithes deal in pink flowers, and the answer is no.

My native language is French and I’ve learned English pretty much by playing online video games. In the recent months I’ve been trying to learn Spanish via Duolingo. Interesting website with a lot of resources in multiple languages.

I’m a native speaker in German, more or less fluent in English and I’m trying to learn French for school. I was taught Russian in middle school, but forgot most of it, and I’m trying to learn Japanese, but I’m not past katakana. I understand some Dutch.

Does math “count”???
Sadly, I only speak English with a sprinkling of Spanish, French, and Japanese words.

Math: with a few you generate a lot. Language: reverse, with a lot you generate a few

262

I respectfully disagree.

How? Isn’t the goal in math to generate a lot of things with a very few axioms? How often do you have exceptions in a language?
Besides, language are not logical. Instead they contain argumentation. For example if you say:" I didn’t say I don’t want to go" it doesn’t mean that you want to go.
(No no is not yes)

264

What do you mean “few”? That we might say a lot of words that mean nothing?
Not everything is about a reasonable outcome, language is more than statements.

265

I mean that they are very different and more opposite as same.
Of course you can try to be logical or you can try to not use exceptions but that’s not the usual use. People play with argumentation tools for example. Like “not bad” which doesn’t mean “good”. People like to have different ways to tell the same thing. That’s not math. In math, the less axioms you need, the better. And no no is yes
