Arabic is fundamentally different from Persian. Arabic cannot create new

a single new word. This is its shortcoming. But in a pinch, its power as

 I may have mentioned the film 'A Separation'
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Separation
 At one point the daughter uses an Arabic word and the father corrects her.
'We are Persians. The word is ....'
 Despite all the awards I don't think the film was widely shown in the US.
Foreign language films seldom are but this one might not fit the narrative
of evil Iran.

In Persian (and all Indo-European languages), you can _correctly_ create
new single words by combining different roots. But it takes time for the
new word to get popular. So it is, just like Arabic, its power as well
as its shortcoming.

 German makes that into an art form. 'Fernsehzeitschrift' is only the
beginning.
 

Hehe :-)))
Only the beginning indeed.
