I appreciate you took the time to do that :)
That's fascinating to me, I want to learn Chinese for that reason, it will unblock other thought abilities I don't know of. It will be many years until I can devote to it the way it deserves, but will do so for sure.

I'm flattered, thank you :) You will see this too: by being able to compare the abilities of expression the different languages you can speak allow, you can infer that there has to be something you are not being able to clearly picture in your mind, that other language can. Need not other example than the one you gave above. Call it "schemes of concept amalgamation" if you wish, within a word and between them, for which combinations are endless, prompting past and future languages.
