What feature of your target language should your native language adopt?

I actually like the fact that adjectives are placed after nouns in languages like Spanish and Vietnamese, because when you have a string of adjectives, you can hear the noun first and then additional information rather than wait till the end to hear the noun.

I also wish English had diminutives, like those in Spanish. We do have -ie, but we don't use it all that often and it doesn't really mean much.
