Since we are a very multicultural/lingual board (or however that's called), why not teach each other some phrases in the language you know so that we finally understand what  the Fins are talking about

some random ones

German

how are you? = wie gehts (dir)?/wie geht es Ihnen?
dog = hund
cat = Katze
table = Tisch
pancake = Pfannkuchen

 :P

Post by: xScQ on February 21, 2007, 05:54:42 PM
Dutch:

What's up = Alles goed?
Thank you = Dank je wel
You are great = Je bent geweldig
I love you = Ik hou van je
Go away! = Ga weg!

Obviously all of these must be used on me  :twisted:

Post by: Mii on February 21, 2007, 06:10:20 PM
Finnish (English is only language I speak beside Finnish, and I doubt you want me to teach you that.)

Thank you! = Kiitos
You are great = Sinä olet mahtava
I love you = Minä rakastan sinua
Go away! = Mene pois!
Girl = Tyttö
Boy = Poika
I hate you = Minä inhoan sinua
Yes = Kyllä
No = Ei
Day = Päivä
Night = Yö

There you go =]

I think the word "home" means government or something similiar in Estonian and it means mould in Finnish. (I don't know if mould is the right word, but you know the stuff when food gets old and starts to get all green and stuff)

ee... no... Saya and Aku just two word that have one meaning, but older people in here indicate that Saya more polite than aku (usualy Saya used for talking with someone older than you), aku seem more arogant (for some people), but for some young people here there is no problem about it, and usualy young pople used street language for I (gue) or maybe use their name to called them self.

example: I'm hungry = Dian laper (some people not use saya or aku for calling them self)
me:---> do it this too  :P  I called my self dian :wink:


in Indonesia there are no defference to call a man or a women, here no her and him, or she and his, just dia/ ia (two word with one meaning again :wink: ), or miliknya

I hope you undertand....  :P

I love X JAPAN= J'aime X Japan or J'adore X Japan
My favourite member is *member*= Mon membre préféré est *member*

I agree on French being difficult in some way, I don't understand why on earth they have to use the subjonctif  :P  (as well as the Spanish->jubjuntivo).

Well, maybe the name of the language is latinum and lingua latina is just a construction with latina as an adjective for lingua? Like "Latin", and "The Latin Language"? :)

I think it's something that you forget pretty quick,
though maybe it depends on your teacher?
But I think it's good to study since you get a really good vocabulary, especially when it comes to english :)

And you seem well-read when you can throw in a latin quotation at any time :D
"Nemo saltat sobrius, nisi forte insanit" :)

Oh, our latin teacher is the best, she doesn't translate incorrectly, but she makes up her own for the tests, made of mixes of famous quotes. I can't think of one right now, but they're great ;)

And you can try some Czech tongue twisters:

or

"Tři tisíce tři sta tři a třicet stříbrných stříkaček stříkalo přes tři tisíce tři sta tři a třicet stříbrných střech." ("3 333 silver fire engines spouted over 3 333 silver roofs.".

Okay, how about this:

People always say that the "Geordie" English accent is hard to understand, and in some cases is like hearing a completely different language. My accent itself isn't Geordie but I live close enough to understand its slang terms, here are a few randomly chose words/phrases :lol: :


"Canny" = A positive term, usually a term of endearment to someone.
"Tuppin" = The act of love making
"Hacky" = dirty
"Well aye", "Wai aye" or "aye" = Yes, affirmative response.
"Gannin" = Going, to go somewhere.
"Alreet" = Are you Alright?/ How are you?
