Yes this is what I meant. Perhaps I should've given a bit more context in my original post.
Here's a fun example. English has a lot of Latin and Germanic based words in it that you can construct entire sentences. I was surprised to find out as a non-native speaker. In my opinion, the Latin sentences seem way too complicated to express simple ideas.
Germanic example:
In my anger I struck my small sword in his belly.
Latin example:
In my rage I injected my gladius in his abdomen.
