I have been studying a lot of German lately. Though the language is quite similar to English in many ways, some German sentences are notoriously long and invariably end with a verb. What is even more exasperating is the German habit of splitting verbs, with one half in the middle of the sentence and the other at the end (ok –slight exaggeration).
All this makes for a painful learning experience. The poem below is my cry of ‘Ouch!’
How would it be if a German were to write a poem in English?
“My poor knowledge of English despite
I shall today a poem write;
We shall along with verbs
Hairs also split”
