Some explorers roamed in Siberia around 1900 and encountered small nations with undocumented languages. They stayed with the people for some time and tried to record the basic vocabulary and grammar. The dialog sometimes went like this: - In your language, is it correct to say, "I went fishing yesterday." - No. - What's wrong with it? - I didn't go fishing yesterday.
