You should do statistical study of word length distribution in english and german translation of same articles. Just give you three example sentences: Ich liebe dich. I love you. Woher kommen Sie? Where do you come from? Ich komme aus China, aber jetzt wohne in München. I come from China, but now live in Munich.
