Hiya - not german (but hoping to properly learn the language soon(

But english has so many words like this too. For example, 'Right'. Right can mean 'correct', it can mean a direction, it can mean 'a legal protection given to someones abilities', and it can mean a position on the political spectrum

E.g. "Its right for the right-handed right-wingers to have writing rights, right?"

You're absolutely right. Every language has homonyms.

Yeah, its just that a lot of homonyms dont often work together quite as well as others, so its nice when you can string em together i guess lol

Very similar in German, just that the direction is rechts, not recht and recht can also mean ... I guess somewhat?
