Okay, this may sound like a weird question, however, every time I think about it, I cannot explain it to myself.

How many times can you repeat a sentence such as "I thought that you thought that I thought that you thought..." before it stops making sense? Well... not really stop making sense, but... when you repeat it enough times, how would you interpret it?

Of course, I realize that nobody would ever use that kind of repetition in a sentence, so I'm just speaking hypothetically.

Hi, I'm a Korean student studying English.
Reading these , I got a question.


1.Falling in love.
2.Laughing so hard your face hurts.
3.A hot shower.
.
.
.
18.Sweet dreams.
19.Holding hands with someone you care about.
20.Laughing for abs
21.Having someone tell you that you're beautful.

Someone translated No.21 into Korean as following:
"Having someone 'who tells you' that you' re beautiful."
Is this translation correct ?
hmm.. I once thought it's wrong because I thought No.21's meaning was equal to that of "Making someone tell you that you're...."

or is 'who' omitted (as ellipses of subjective relative pronoun?)
(Though I think it's not because if it so, there should be 'someone tells')
