"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."
this is a gramatically correct english statement. wonderful right? buffalo means: a type of cow, or a place in NY, US thats call Buffalo, which actually have a university called unversity of buffalo(where this statement is developed), and buffalo also means bullying, or a form of fight.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo actually means:
Buffalo's buffaloes Buffalo's buffaloes buffaloed buffaloes Buffalo's buffaloes.
or
those buffaloes from city of Buffalo in new york, whom other buffaloes also from the city of buffalo in new york bullied, bullies other buffaloes from city of buffaloes.
wao, so this is english, and it happens in other language as well. for example, in malay,
"sayang sayang sayang, sayang sayang sayang sayang sayang?"
means: I love you. do you whom i love, love me?
other less refine example are as:
police police police police (police's supervisor (or known as anti corruption team) supervise policeman)
Don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you (don't disturb other complex issue until they start troubling you)
That that is is that that is not is not is that it it is
or rather, That that is, is. That that is not, is not. Is that it? It is.
James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher
meaning "While John had used 'had,' James had used 'had had.' The teacher had preferred 'had had.'"
seriously, english is fun....
