How come the msq keeps using big words?

[linay]

Japanese doesn't typically have "big words". English might have 40 different words to say "strong" because English is a composite of Old French, Germanic, Latin, and Greek. Japanese has some Chinese roots in it. Typically most languages have a few words for the same thing, but English is different. For example, going with puissant (which means strong), we have:

Strong
Forceful
Puissant
Robust
Vigorous
Mighty
Tenacious
Energetic
Stalwart

etc

Those words have different connotations, though. You can be strong, but not forceful. That's why different words exist that may overlap in some meaning in order to (hopefully) clarify the actual meaning. Having just one word to describe any concept would be too limiting as a form of expression.

In the same way, I think the Japanese language also has its own way to say the same thing (or similar things) in multiple ways. I think all language does, in some way, to facilitate better communication.
