To start the week, a #language quiz! True of false:
1. In #HINDI, the words for "yesterday" and "tomorrow" are the same.
2. In #ESKIMO-#ALEUT, there are many more words for "snow" than in English.
3. In #HEBREW, there are more than five ways to pronounce the word for "and."
4. In #TURKISH, a word's pronunciation depends on previous words in the sentence.
