>>11105598>Okay, let's use Nahuatl. What does this show?Ok, let's start with nouns. Nahuatl nouns show number and their possessor. English nouns only show number. There is a way to derive related nouns:
-y?tl derives from a noun X a noun with an abstract meaning of x-hood or x-ness.
-yoh derives from a noun X a noun with a meaning of "thing full of X" or "thing with a lot of X"
and some verbs as well:
-tia derives from noun X a verb with an approximate meaning of "to provide with X " or "to become X".
-huia derives from noun X a verb with an approximate meaning of "to use X " or "to provide with X".
No clear way to do this in English.
Distinguishes inclusive and exclusive first person in pronouns, English is ambiguous.
Verbs are clearly most complex, and show the person of both the subject and the object, and the number of the subject (if animate).
Verbs also distinguish:
present tense
perfect or simple past tense, which is further marked for completeness at the time of speaking
pluperfect
imperfect
habitual
future
imperative/optative
counterfactual (intended action that didn't happen)
vetitive (something that could possibly happen, but isn't desired)
verbs can further be extended by:
applicative (noting that the action is done to/for something/somebody)
causative (something or somebody is made to do the action described by the verb)
passive
Another set of suffixes indicates the direction of the action described by the verb
Instruments, body parts and objects can be incorporated into the verb
verbs can be compounded together
And nouns can be derived from the verb as well:
-lli used to derive passivized nouns from verbs.
-liztli used to derive abstract nouns from verbs.
-qui used to derive agentive nouns from verbs.
And those are only the things mentioned on wikipedia.
