How language works
- I’m fascinated by the nuanced differences between languages.
- I just have learned the word disappointment.
- I’m surprised that there is a close linguistic connection between ”appointment” and ”disappointment”.
- Only a little prefix separates these two words.
- That’s very interesting.
- In english language obviously there is a connection between ”to meet someone” and ”to be disappointed”.
- In german language there is similar connection between ”Täuschung”, the german word for illusion, and ”Enttäuschung”, which means disappointment in german.
- Therefore germans often use the following play on words: A disappointment is the end of an illusion - ”Ende der Täuschung ...
- Ent-täuschung”.
