English is such a weird language...
It's the most difficult langauge in the world to learn, and it's also the best.
Just be glad you havnt got to learn Cockney Rhyming Slang.LIP Reviewed by LIP on . English is such a weird language... I've been wondering for a while why English doesn't allow you to create adverbs out of adjectives that happen to end with "ly". In German, there is no problem using "heilig", "freundlich" or "brĂ¼derlich" as adverbs, but in English there is no way to make adverbs out of the corresponding words "holy", "friendly" or "brotherly". You can't say "He friendlyly gave me a present." or "The priest performed the ceremony most holyly." You can't even say "He weaselyly cheated me out of five dollars." Rating: 5
