@mekkaokereke The article is right that Gaelic has a similar thing, although it’s the future tense that’s used (“I will be eating” cookies also means “I habitually eat cookies”). And interestingly in Gaelic, “I will” is “bidh mi”, which is pronounced like “be me”.

@koteisaev @GreenSkyOverMe Huh. It had never occurred to me that Mile was related to “mile” meaning thousand. Thanks, I learnt something today!
