asterisk@lemmy.worldtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•"There's a thing that I don't know what is" - Is this correct grammar?

11 months agoI don’t think I’ve come across that before, but I’d say it depends on what is meant:
- I don’t know what that thing is.
- There is a thing, but I don’t know what it is.
- There is a thing such that I don’t know what it is. I.e., I do not know what all things are.
There may well be some other ones, but I don’t know what they might be.
Spinney is a nice word for a smallish gathering of trees, alongside copse, coppice, etc. I’m not aware of a term for one specifically in an open field, though.
