Yet people think they're so smart when they say "you can just ask so-and-so and I" -- it's ridiculous! I've heard partners at CPA firms do this! Why do people always talk that way?

Can anyone who speaks Italian suggest a knickname or phrase in Italian that would be appropriate to describe a tall, muscular middle-aged man who's a little chauvanistic and a self-proclaimed "ladies' man?" I want to say "machisimo" but I believe that's Spanish; any way it's kind of cliche.

In colloquil Bahasa Indonesia, what does it mean when one adds the -in suffix to a verb? For instance, makanin or suapin? Also is there other grammar oddities that I should know to understand colloquil Indonesian? I only understand standard Indonesian.

I think the Japanese words for Metal Paw are Metaru Po and for Soul of Darkness it's Sauru Avvu Dakkunesu but I'm not sure. I need the kanji for those two phrases pretty soon...

How they learn, proper way to teach them, etc... My children are bilingual (Arabic being their first language and English their second). My 5 year old can write the alphabet in both languages and is starting to read in both languages but I still can't get them to talk in English!!!(I talk in English and they answer me in Arabic) Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do or a good book or website to read?

Singlish itself means: Singaporean english. A mixed up language between english, mandarin, fookien, malay, indian, etc. Though i'm not speaking singlish but i'm now here in Singapore. I just want to know what do you think? thanks

If I say "It is worth $1,000,000", what is 'worth' in that sentence? It has a direct object, so I don't see how it can be an adjective, but it certainly doesn't look like a verb (unless you cheat and say 'to be worth' is a verb). It behaves like a preposition, but it certainly doesn't seem very 'prepositiony'. So what is it, then?

(I know it can be a noun - that's not the problem)

Ok I speak decent spanish, but have trouble with future tense or "will "shall" "should" type of translations seem to not exist? How do you say something like "I will fix that later", or "It should have been done (but wasnt...). Its a GRAMAR question, not translation question. What word and verb form is it? Or is it even a verb?
