    But can you combine words to make up new grammatically correct words on the fly?

    We can make all kinds of words in our language.

        Infixes are not very normal though and I would assume most languages have prefixes and suffixes.

        I mean more in the terms of people will get annoyed if you didn’t write two words together and instead separated them. And that is becoming pretty common since English is used a lot and you never do it in English, so people started doing it to our language as well (I’m also guilty)

    1. quantity of words has nothing to do with the potential of playing with a language / double meanings tc
    2. don’t believe every website you find in a google search

      1. You’re correct that it’s far from the only factor, but it DOES help.

      2. Likewise 🤷
