    I’ve stopped learning Chinese when I left the country. I’ve only had HSK 2, but man do I miss no conjugation, you ate an apple pie for breakfast this morning? Well “This morning breakfast I eat an apple pie”.

    You already told it was this mornings breakfast with context.

    This is something you really see when discovering another language that is not yours. I’m on Modern Speaking Arabic right now and I see it a lot

      Then you have Welsh where a lot of things are double affirmed in sentences removing ambiguity. even for the word yes you conjugate your reply as it depending on the quesrion they asked you.

      Wyt. (Yes, you are. when asked as Am I?)

      Ydw. (Yes, I am.)

      Ydy. (Yes, he is.)

      Ydy. (Yes, she is.)

      Ydych. (Yes, you are. when asked as are We?)

      Ydyn. (Yes, we are.)

      Ydyn. (Yes, they are.)
