     @unmind one more fun fact then i promise ill stop 🙏 preclassical (so like, vedic and epic) sanskrit didn't have a formal/informal distinction in the 2nd person and the epics were what i was rlly interested in when i started, but by the height of classical sanskrit literature that distinction had developed and then the informal 2nd person had all but died out and u basically only get the formal (which is gramatically 3rd person like in lots of other languages) so i was super confused when i started looking at stuff made for learning classical sanskrit and saw these totally different 2nd person pronouns that didnt use the 2nd person forms i knew

     @unmind i love all the inflections in sanskrit and all the cool compounds u can form. the grammatical feature thats my favorite is pretty silly but it’s the converb form in -tvā or -ya (depending on whether the verb has a prepositional prefix or not) like in śloka 2 line 2 of chapter 1 of the gita u get

     आचार्यम् उपसंगम्य राजा वचनम् अब्रवीत्

     where उपसंगम्य upsaṃgamya expresses “having approached,” in 1 inflected verb form. i just rlly like how it sounds meow. especially w/ the verb कृ kṛ (like in karma) where u get the form कृत्वा kṛtvā “having done/made/caused”

     @emmycelium the ways languages change over time are so fascinating tbh, and so are the ways that they don't

     @emmycelium what would be considered classical sanskrit literature that would've been written after the distinction developed
