Re: English is a wonderful language

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.
