I'm very atracted to a spanish girl that doesn't speak a word of english.
Can you please translate" If you'd like to tell me anything-write it down and i will translate it. My question is, do I have no chance with you? I respect your situation and will leave you alone if that is what you wish."
Tanks for the help. I speak a little, so please make this accurate, as I will check it before using it. Thank you very much.
Alex

I wanna learn some portuguese (I have found it harder than spanish, but wanna give it a try). How would I know when 's' should be pronounced as 'sh' or like 's'. It really does confuse me. An what about when you get 'ei' in a word, how would I pronounce that like this word 'feira'? All help appreciated.

The first picture is an altar outside a home in China, and it has Chinese writing on it. What does it say? Is it Taoist or Confucian?

for instance, in Swedish:
bra = good
slut = done / end
sex = six
in Persian:
barf = snow (mommy mommy, can I go play in the barf?)

what would be the idiomatic way of saying "point of internet access" in french? would it be "point d'acces d'Internet"?

If i said "I hate blue flamingos" would that mean i hate flamingos that are blue, or all flamingos?

If i said "I hate falling rocks" would that mean i hate rocks that are falling, or all rocks?

If i said "I hate stupid christians" would that mean i hate christians that are stupid, or all christians?

Now, is it fair that i got a violation for saying "I hate stupid christians" because they thought i called christians stupid and i hate them all? What do you think?

I want to get a tatoo done as a surprise for my boyfriend. As his mother Thai I thought it would be a nice gesture to get his name done in Thai, however I am struggling to find his name anywhere.

I can't ask his mother.

"fan" means girlfriend or boyfriend, but does this mean someone you have sex with only, (as in a lover or spouse) or can it also mean just a friend of the opposite sex? and is this a polite or correct word to use for a spouse?

I am not american so don't call me stupid. I really don't know what that means. Thanks! My girlfriend and I were walking downtown then someone shouted that word at her.

A business communication from Britain says: “We will ACTION your request/ instructions” meaning “we will act according to or carry out your request/ instruction”.

I find the word “Action” in this context very odd.

And I am not quite satisfied with the alternatives I have suggested.


If I make a request or give you some instructions, how will you say in chaste English that you will carry out my instructions or you will act according to it? Please note that my requests / instructions are acceptable to you.
Additional Details

PS: My objection is to the use of "action" as a verb.

I want to say: "May I please borrow your...?" I'll insert the item name. -_- I don't trust those online translators because they translate word for word without regards to grammar, so please don't use one of those as a source. =3 Thanks!
