(born in france from two polish parents) i just love how eastern languages words can be declined to alter their meaning ; atomicaly it's close to saying "adjective + word", they are also close to postfixes but not really since they alter part of the original word ; not only that it naturally involves that every word could be suddenly "casted" into something news ; which for some reason sounds very understandable but also makes the language very living and dynamic ; while French is inducing a complete paradigm shift with "verlan" - where we change the words by shifting the sylables ; fete -> teuf; mate-> tema ;
