In English when we make comments about something we often say "how" or "what" phrases like
What a cute baby!
or
How cute!

What kinds of things do German speakers say in these situations? (This is a grammar question more than a vocabulary question, but common vocabulary words are also welcome.)

when i posted a comment to a video in Youtube,a japanese pointed out my words have a few defects in english grammar.I don't know how civilized he is because he never bring out.But I want to understand what I was wrong about so as to develop my english.

(below the video which is a comedy but nearly like moving drama)
comment: it is no longer kind of a comedy. it is splendid.

and,he criticize it for usage.i sent a mail to him as follows.

yes,i made it so roughly that i make mistakes in grammar.
now that you have complained about the words, i correct it.
the program is no longer a kind of comedy.it is splendid,i think.
if you couldnt comprehend my saying yet at all,if any my inappropriate descriptions,you should brush up your english and literacy.

to this,he said "your contension is obviously absurd for natives! and you should review your words."
so,there are some improper useges or expressions and you english speakers couldnt comprehend my mind at all?

I would like to coin a word or phrase and enter it into the vernacular just to see how long it takes to travel the world and get back to me. If you would like to suggest the word or phrase and I choose it,you will get 10 points and I will give you half credit for the creation. GO!

i have been with him for about 5 months now. he moved in next door to me and my dad (im 24). we basically live together, but we break up so much that i keep my stuff in my car :( He is usually good to me but he goes into these mood swings where he overpowers me into doing stuff through intimidation. he doesnt hit me but he tells me to get the **** out. then when i try to leave he cries and begs me to stay. ive given him other chances to clean up his act but this time he promises to win me back by going to get some counseling. should i give him another chance? if so, exactly when, and what do i say to him in the meantime?

PLease help!
