Languages are like living things, they grow and change. When people talk to each other, they sometimes add new words or change how old ones sound. Over time, these little changes can become big differences between languages.
Examples
- Kids today say cool instead of nice, just like people used to say thou in the past.
- When you mix languages, new words come out, like Spanglish or Chinglish.
- People change how they talk when they move to a new place, it's like learning a new dialect.
