Haha... Good one... FYI, in Polish it's called "budynek" [boo-DYH-neck] which is also a form of the verb "budowac", meaning "to build".

A building is an extension from the land that it was built from, and there are still possiblities of extension of size and height of the structure.

GEE... that's a REALLY clever question... at least that is what I said the first 20 times I saw it.
It's only AmeriKans who call it a "building"... the rest of the world calls it an edifice or some other word for a structure.

Because if they called it a built, somebody in a kilt would stand on stilts and piece together quilts, to say nothing of how many dictionaries would self-destruct.

Because that is the normal English Word that other previous English speakers all over the world have traditionally used to describe that object.
