qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 2 years agoI dunno, seems reasonable to me in the same way that Spanish using “¿” at the beginning of a question makes sense.
That it’s inconsistent with other units is certainly annoying, but if anything I think it’s the more sensible way.

Spanish is definitely fucked, putting the adjective after the noun. You don’t pet the brown dog, you pet the dog brown.

Languages have been using different word orders since time immemorial (see what I did there)

Idk, I kinda get it, adjectives are just descriptors. In Spanish, you can drop the end of the sentence and still get its meaning. You don’t pet the brown, you pet the dog.

This dog is black, not.
