Talking to my Japanese colleague about Japanese vs English and I said how it's not easy to just say 'and' in Japanese and she was really confused. So I was like... y'know, there's と、くて、で、し、や、とか and she was like "oh yes, of course! I never really thought about it like that!" Truly amazing how what we think of as simple and second nature in our native tongue can be unnecessarily, mind-bogglingly complicated to a someone learning that language.
