John, while James had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher. Explained: John, while James had had "had", had had "had had", "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.
Wow, the word ship suddenly looks weird. I think vsauce mentioned this, it's called, jamais Vu? I think. Like déjà Vu. It's when something ordinary suddenly seems strange, or different.
In all seriousness, this is one of the reasons that language processing is so damn hard for computers. The level of lexical ambiguity that can exist makes it very hard to deduce meaning in some cases.
Here's my favorite: two students, James and John, are taking an English test. One of the questions asks them whether it would be better to use "had" or "had had" in a given sentence. James, while John had had "had had", had had "had". "Had had" had had a better effect on the teacher
Palmy palmy napalmem - In polish "Let's burn some palms with napalm" :D We have also wydra "Wydrze wydrzę wydrze wydrze wydrzę"- Young otter will snach young otter"
There is the same situation in Chinese. In ancient China, a person wrote an article with the same Chinese character for hundreds of times, but the pronunciation of Chinese characters is the same, but the shape can be different, so this phenomenon is somewhat different from that in English
Police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police, "Police police police Police police police police police police Police police. Police police police police police, police Police police police police!" Breaking it down: The town of Police has police in it. These officers are called "Police police." However, these policemen need to be policed. The group of people responsible for doing this are the police police, who also live in the town of Police. Therefore, they are called, "Police police police." This process continues, creating several layers of policemen. The topmost layer relevant to the sentence is the police police police police police police, which, you guessed it, also live in the town of Police. They are called the Police police police police police police police. Here's what the sentence is saying: The police police police police police living in the town of Police are policed by the next layer up: the police police police police police police, also in the town of Police. But not only are they being policed, they are also policing the next layer down: the police police police police, also in the town of Police. That policing comes in the form of a command. The command gives the following background: The police police (who live in Police) are being policed by the police police police (also in Police). However, they are also policing the bottom layer of policemen in Police (the Police police). The police police police police police living in Police (who are the ones issuing the command) then address their audience, the police police police police living in Police, and tell them to police the police police police (who, again, live in Police).
The best part about this sentence is that you can easily modify it to make it even more horrendous. For example, we can add the word "police" immediately after every single reference to the town of Police to shift the story up one layer in the chain of command. If we shift it up 3 layers, we get the following sentence: Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police, "Police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police. Police police police police police police police police, police Police police police police police police police!" You may notice (if your mind hasn't melted yet) that the first sentence in the new quotation is identical to the part of the original sentence that is outside the quotation. Therefore, the new quotation is actually referencing the story in the original sentence. If we want the Police police police police police police police police police to tell the full details of that original story, we can replace the first sentence of the new quotation with the entire original story. Here's the result: Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police, "Police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police, 'Police police police Police police police police police police Police police. Police police police police police, police Police police police police!' Police police police police police police police police, police Police police police police police police police!" We can repeat this process over and over again to make the sentence as long as we want! And every single time, it will only contain the word "police".
risajef As a Chinese, we also have a story made entirely out of the sound "shi" but containing 4 different tones. The summary is someone named "Shi" see dead lions in a market and ate them. It is ridiculous, but only to show of how one sound and form complex story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Stone_Den

I once read a few sentences that were composed of English words showing all the crazy pronunciations of letters and combos, like ie, ei, e, a, ou, ow, wr, ch, ph, and so on. The possibilities are mind boggling. Does anyone know where I might find examples of this again?
James and John were taking a grammar test with options "had" and "had had. James, while John had had "had", had had "had had." "Had had" had had a better affect on their teacher.
@@Ashish.1.1 , it's actually very sensible and something you might use everyday. Bababa ba? = is it going down? Bababa = going down. baba means to go down, and to turn it into the future tesnse(?), we repeat the first syllable. The "ba" indicates that it is a yes or no question.
Other words that can be used on their own to construct sentences of any length include police, smelt, cod, people, pants, dice, perch, char and bream. You can also mix and match these at will: 'Buffalo police smelt dice dice police pants smelt bream', for example.
are any of those using the thing where you say a word twice to specify you're talking about its default variant? (i.e. "physical damage" can be referred to as "damage-damage")
@@egon3705 oh, I'd never even considered that! 'Buffalo buffalo' could easily be contrasted with 'bison buffalo', although the standard way would be to call buffalo buffalo water buffalo. Pants pants could work for emphasising which side of the Atlantic your intended sense of 'pants' is from.
I actually just found a longer one: "Als er bij het dorp, waar tussen haakjes bergen Bergen bergen bergen bergen, Bergen, bergen Bergen bergen bergen bergen, bergen bergen Bergen bergen bergen."
Even more interesting are words spelled similarly but pronounced entirely different. One can even understand these, though, through tough, thorough thought. I once had a teacher who dedicated her education to these language quirks, but the degree she had had had had no effect on her understanding.
In Malay language, a popular one would be "Sayang sayang, sayang sayang sayang. Sayang sayang sayang?" "Sayang" is love, and it's also a term of endearment. So the above phrase is a person expressing affection for another person, and then asking if this other person feels the same way (all in an overly sweet manner). You have to say it in the right tone to get the message across.
Or the Aussie Classic: [Which] Bastard [called this] Bastard [a] Bastard? aka: "Which [guy here] called [this (bastard) guy here] a(n) [illegitimate child]?" We do tend to use "Bastard/s" both for "illegitimate child" and as a sometimes (not always) derogatory term for other folks (particularly when talking about those Bastards called Politicians and Government).
Another lexical ambiguity: *James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.* Here's the full explanation: Two students, James and John are taking an English test. They are required to write a sentence about *a man who had suffered a cold from the past.* John writes, _"The man had a cold.",_ which the teacher marked *incorrect.* James writes, _"The man had had a cold.",_ which the teacher marked *correct.* So technically, *James while John had had **_"had",_** had had **_"had had"_** ; **_"had had"_** had had a better effect on the teacher.*
I was angry with my friend and then I ended up watching this. It goes without saying that I can't stop giggling at the grammatically correct sentences that don't seem to make sense, but they do make sense.
ever heard of the Dutch sentence "als in het dorpje waar tussen haakjes bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen, Bergen, bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen, bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen."?

The ending phrase closed it perfectly.
Police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police, "Police police police Police police police police police police Police police. Police police police police police, police Police police police police!"
Breaking it down: The town of Police has police in it. These officers are called "Police police." However, these policemen need to be policed. The group of people responsible for doing this are the police police, who also live in the town of Police. Therefore, they are called, "Police police police." This process continues, creating several layers of policemen. The topmost layer relevant to the sentence is the police police police police police police, which, you guessed it, also live in the town of Police. They are called the Police police police police police police police.
Here's what the sentence is saying: The police police police police police living in the town of Police are policed by the next layer up: the police police police police police police, also in the town of Police. But not only are they being policed, they are also policing the next layer down: the police police police police, also in the town of Police. That policing comes in the form of a command. The command gives the following background: The police police (who live in Police) are being policed by the police police police (also in Police). However, they are also policing the bottom layer of policemen in Police (the Police police). The police police police police police living in Police (who are the ones issuing the command) then address their audience, the police police police police living in Police, and tell them to police the police police police (who, again, live in Police).
Tyler Borgard wtf
Too... much....... logic........
The best part about this sentence is that you can easily modify it to make it even more horrendous. For example, we can add the word "police" immediately after every single reference to the town of Police to shift the story up one layer in the chain of command. If we shift it up 3 layers, we get the following sentence:
Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police, "Police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police. Police police police police police police police police, police Police police police police police police police!"
You may notice (if your mind hasn't melted yet) that the first sentence in the new quotation is identical to the part of the original sentence that is outside the quotation. Therefore, the new quotation is actually referencing the story in the original sentence. If we want the Police police police police police police police police police to tell the full details of that original story, we can replace the first sentence of the new quotation with the entire original story. Here's the result:
Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police, "Police police police police police police Police police police police police police police police police Police police police police police, 'Police police police Police police police police police police Police police. Police police police police police, police Police police police police!' Police police police police police police police police, police Police police police police police police police!"
We can repeat this process over and over again to make the sentence as long as we want! And every single time, it will only contain the word "police".

Even more interesting are words spelled similarly but pronounced entirely different. One can even understand these, though, through tough, thorough thought.
I once had a teacher who dedicated her education to these language quirks, but the degree she had had had had no effect on her understanding.
I laughed out loud even after listening to the can can sentence 10 times omg 😂
Oooh! I can give you one (In Tagalog, Filipino language). :)
Bababa ba?
In English: Going down?
Pababa ba? Bababa pa? Bababa ba?
(Is the direction going down? Must we go down? Should we go down?)
BABABABABABA YEYEYEYEYEYE DUDUDUDUDUDU
bababa ba.
Time flies like an arrow, Fruit flies like a banana.
This animation is absolutely adorable!!! The pixel art is so cute!!! ❤
In Malay language, a popular one would be "Sayang sayang, sayang sayang sayang. Sayang sayang sayang?"
"Sayang" is love, and it's also a term of endearment. So the above phrase is a person expressing affection for another person, and then asking if this other person feels the same way (all in an overly sweet manner). You have to say it in the right tone to get the message across.
Or the Aussie Classic:
[Which] Bastard [called this] Bastard [a] Bastard?
aka: "Which [guy here] called [this (bastard) guy here] a(n) [illegitimate child]?"
We do tend to use "Bastard/s" both for "illegitimate child" and as a sometimes (not always) derogatory term for other folks (particularly when talking about those Bastards called Politicians and Government).
Wut?
Don't you think they are just adorable !? I love this illustration
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo.
Ok but those buffaloes are ADORABLE!
Another lexical ambiguity:
*James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.*
Here's the full explanation:
Two students, James and John are taking an English test.
They are required to write a sentence about *a man who had suffered a cold from the past.*
John writes, _"The man had a cold.",_ which the teacher marked *incorrect.*
James writes, _"The man had had a cold.",_ which the teacher marked *correct.*
So technically, *James while John had had **_"had",_** had had **_"had had"_** ; **_"had had"_** had had a better effect on the teacher.*
I was angry with my friend and then I ended up watching this. It goes without saying that I can't stop giggling at the grammatically correct sentences that don't seem to make sense, but they do make sense.
ever heard of the Dutch sentence "als in het dorpje waar tussen haakjes bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen, Bergen, bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen, bergen bergen bergen bergen bergen."?
What does it mean?
Only on The Muppet Show
I am now going to tell my teacher this i bet everyone's reaction will be hilarious
Buffalo: Buffalo.
Buffalo: Buffalo!
Buffalo: Buffalo buffalo buffalo?
Buffalo: Buffalo!
Buffalo: Buffalo buffalo!
Buffalo: Buffalo!
I made one of my own a while ago:
