English is easy. For instance:
Buffalo buffalo.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo.
Buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

A buffalo is a big ox-like creature. To buffalo someone is to run roughshod over people. Buffalo is also the name of a city.

So the first sentence is saying big ox-like creatures run roughshod over people.
The second says Big ox-like creatures from an American city run roughshod over people.
The third is saying big ox-like creatures from an American city run roughshod over other big ox-like creatures.
The fourth is saying that big ox-like creatures from an American city from an American city run roughshod over other big ox-like creatures from an American city.

Then there's the grammatically correct:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.
