English is a wonderful language

[(Anonymous)]

"I hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave."

That sentence, that right there? Is beautiful. It's the coolest thing, because they should be contradictory clauses. See and watch are synonyms, leave and go are synonyms, but they're somehow completely different phrases!

Isn't it cool, guys? Isn't it? And there are so many sentences like that.

:DDDDD

That line always makes me laugh because Dermot O'Leary (the host of the british x-factor, among other things) once said that about a contestant and now I can't hear anything but that.

Anyway, yeah, english is fucking amazing sometimes. Pronunciation is sometimes ridiculous (oh my god the pronunciation of colonel), sometimes the grammar is screwy (using "that that" in a sentence), but it's a really beautiful language with such possibility.

That's why language is really cool in general. English has a lot of that, but it happens in other languages too.

Some of my favorite song lyrics are for the song Ume by Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku, a Japanese girl group. The song lyrics basically use a metaphor that, despite not being a sakura flower (a stereotypical image of Japanese beauty) that it's OK to be an ume flower (plum blossom). The chorus uses U M E (spelling out the word in English pronunciation), and pairs it up with the word Yuumei (meaning famous) and yume (meaning dream), so getting a lot of meaning out of that one word. I think at one point it also uses "ume" to mean the slang-y way of saying delicious (originally umai -> ume).

... Yeah I've thought about these lyrics a lot. I just think it's so cool how it does this.

I've always heard it "I hate to see you leave but I love to watch you go."

I knew there was something bugging me about OPs phrasing. Thank you!

Re: English is a wonderful language

It's because "see" and "watch" aren't perfect synonyms. Close, but not identical.

It's more fun to do that with actual autoantinyms.
