The words way put together are how and sense make they.

Was that confusing? That is because the words were not in order according to how English structures sentences.
Syntax is the order of words of different forms to make sense. In English, for example, it would be strange to the "The apple green." when choosing which fruit you would prefer, (One might say, "The green applewhile in French and many other languages, the noun would indeed go before the adjective and make full sense.  ]]> 2017-01-19 19:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mkendall0404/lalalanguage/wish/148205403 mkendall0404 https://padlet.com/mkendall0404/lalalanguage/wish/148219224 SUH-MAN-TICKS: Definition: What something *means*.

This could be a word like "Talk" or a sound that attaches to words to 'morph' them into a new meaning, such as -ing "Talking."]]> 2017-01-19 20:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mkendall0404/lalalanguage/wish/148229739 mkendall0404 https://padlet.com/mkendall0404/lalalanguage/wish/148230999 Knowing that you probably should not address your professor as "Bruh"

In other words, knowing when and how to speak in certain ways is called the "pragmatics" of a language. Another good example of this is the French word "vous", which is the formal way of saying the English word "you." You probably wouldn't call Mr. President "tu," the informal word for "you."]]> 2017-01-19 20:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mkendall0404/lalalanguage/wish/148230999 mkendall0404 https://padlet.com/mkendall0404/lalalanguage/wish/148248955 From birth to about 6 months, babies learn to distinguish between phonemes.]]> 2017-01-19 22:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mkendall0404/lalalanguage/wish/148248955 mkendall0404 https://padlet.com/mkendall0404/lalalanguage/wish/148249379 Babies cry from birth, and crying can be for many things, one of which, to communicate.
