...languages? Word guzzling? I am a native speaker of English, but living in Japan has exposed me to the Japanese language in a way that I made me realize that it usually takes longer to say something in English than in Japanese! English is an inefficient, impractical, word guzzling language.
For example, you want to say this in Japanese: "Your behavior and attitude leaves me with negative feelings towards you."
Japanese: Mukatsuku.
There, I just said all that! All in one go. Did anyone else know this? If so, give some further examples in either Japanese or another language against English.
