English is a funny language indeed. There's five or so different ways of making a plural.

Given the
ability to add a feature, I would make it so that most plural words would require just adding an ‘s’ or
‘es’ at the end. (For example, take the word ox, it’s plural is oxen.) I’m sure all of us have at some
point in our life been corrected by a friend or school teacher regarding the plural of deer not being
deers. Unified rules for plurals would certainly help ease the learning curve associated with the
language.

Clusivity – When we use the term ‘we’, it does not indicate whether the listener is included or not.
For example, “We won the “. Does the speaker mean himself and his friends/family, his country, or
just himself and the listener? In Indonesian, there is a word for 'we' not including the listener (kami),
and 'we' including the listener (kita).

The Hindi language has for describing your family, example, ‘tauji’, ‘chachaji’, etc. which indicate
maternal or paternal relationship along with age relative to your mother/father. On the contrary, the
words aunt and uncle do not differentiate between the mothers or fathers side. The same goes for
cousins.

A word that is used if you give a positive answer to a negative question. Again, taking an example, "Is
that not what you wanted?” "Did you not want me to paint the wall blue?” A "yes" or "no" would be
confusing. You always have to string out this bumbling, awkward sentence to explain what you mean
when you say no or yes, like "That is what I want" or "That is not what I want” or rely on the tone.

Evidentiality is when you use the grammar of your language to show the source of your information
for what you’ve said. For example, let’s take a statement “They won the football match." Did you see
it, hear it or assume it? The statement follows grammatical rules even without specifying the source,
whereas in languages such as Tuyaca in South America, such a statement would be grammatically
incorrect.
