My opinion on the words "dialogue" and "dialog".
It also breaks the Greek's appreciation of "Who's on First?" Unless Greek lacks relatives the Greek should do fine.

So it's gender, like German, and like in German there is no way to tell without knowing it.

Another nonsensical thing about Danish. There is no good explanation as to why one noun uses -et, and another -en for definite reference.

Well, 'bilen, huset, etc' is definite reference.

In Japanese and Thai, probably more asian languages I'm not aware of, the subject is often elided, this makes context an absolute imperative. If you didn't know what the two sentences above were about, the next few may be no help at all. An adjective can constitute an entire clause. I like the methodical approach in English, where you have to mark the place where the subject would have been with 'it' and of course you can't do without introducing it specifically to begin with. Japanese : cold (is) English : It is cold.

Whats an indefinite article, a missing definite article.. ohh nevermind, it's just 'a', 'an', no definite (specific) reference.

So whats your take on 'the boy threw up', can you appreciate where I'm coming from by viewing 'threw up' as the verb and not bothering one bit about the preposition.

SoZ Final Battle
I refuse to play the game at anything less than the core rules setting. Best I could do was to kill everyone but the Herald, and by then my party was so battered there was nothing left to do. Tried 4 times, gave up, uninstalled. It's ok, the bad guys have to win sometime too. I mean if they didn't it would take away all their ambition.

My opinion on the words "dialogue" and "dialog".
My definition is lacking how.. I mean, there are more functions and word types, these are just examples. The point I was trying to make is that 'up' is certainly a preposition, but thinking in groups of meaning, as when you assign syntax within a clause, 'threw up' constitutes one, and further analysis does nothing to improve ones understanding, in fact the opposite is the case. In the grammar I learned long ago one could call it a prepositional clause or a verb clause post modified by a preposition, but a descriptive language like grammatical analysis often forces conclusions that are irrelevant.

Morphology Base word type classification, preposition, noun, verb. Syntax Function within a clause, predicate, object, subject.

I dunno, they could be actual buns, but what would propel them.

My opinion on the words "dialogue" and "dialog".
'threw up' is one syntactic unit, not two. The preposition only reveals itself at the morphological level. I'd say it was an exception, which is all good. Exceptions are what makes us remember the rules as much as the rules themselves.

Also you can insert a non grammatical comma anywhere, stick it right after the subject in a main clause if you like.

Japanese seems to arbitrarily use past or non past as if they were interchangeable. It takes a bit of getting used to.
