I just feel the need to point out that my Spanish teacher from Ecuador was like "huh, the English language is very efficient" in the middle of class one day.

We were comparing the words for the different types of umbrellas that exist in each language.

Apparently Spanish has like, five words for umbrellas.

While English just tacks on what the purpose of the umbrella is.

Example:

Beach Umbrella = parasol
Umbrella = paraguas

It was very amusing to hear someone actually go "I wish we did that" for once in respect to the English language.
