Welcome to Morphology Madness! In this video, we dive into the fascinating world of comparative morphology, where words are broken down into their smallest meaningful parts-morphemes-across different languages. From the English word "impossible" to the German "unveränderlich," and even the Swahili phrase "nina kupenda," we explore how languages like English, German, Spanish, and Swahili play with prefixes, suffixes, and everything in between.
You'll learn:
How English uses prefixes like "im-" to create words like "impossible"
Why German loves to stack morphemes into long, complex words
How Spanish keeps it simple with its Latin roots
The unique verb structure of Swahili, where prefixes change everything!
If you’ve ever wondered how languages form words, or why "impossible" means what it does in different tongues, this video will break it all down in a fun, easy-to-understand way. Get ready for linguistic tricks, word-building fun, and plenty of morpheme madness! 🎉
