I am not around dogs very much but met a huge mastiff named gunner today. After he smelled my hand and contemplated my vibe he came in for scratches and rolled over on his back. Owners were very impressed. I am the dog whisperer.
Not making any judgements here but Spanish has 15 demonstrative forms for English’s 4. I think this shows that the two languages are optimizing differently in the tradeoff between compression and complexity.
In this case Spanish optimizes for information dense communication while English optimizes for lighter memory requirements.
