Todos que estudaram línguas aglutinantes como o aimara e a quíchua têm notado que muitas vezes uma única palavra em uma língua corresponde a uma frase inteira em um idioma românico ou germânico. Normalmente, essa palavra aglutinante é muito extensa e contém muitos morfemas tanto nominais como verbais – às vezes, até as palavras bissillábicas [...]

I’ve been meaning to introduce more linguistics to this blog, so let’s jump right into it. First things first though, sorry for the disorganization.
