How do you put accents over letters when you are typing?

In most languages that use the Latin alphabet, the consonants correspond to roughly the same sounds, such that in any of those languages you can guess how a word is pronounced and get it almost correct.

Why is it that in Irish and Scots Gaelic consonants are pronounced completely differently to other languages. How does bh become v in Siobhan? Why is Niamh pronounced "neev"?

I've been hearing this the past couple months. At first I thought it was isolated idiots mistaking perhaps the word "mongrel" for this word. Now I'm reading it on the internet. Mongloid is an archaeological/anthropological term for asiatic races. Is this like an ethnic slur now or what? I don't get it. Can someone please explain to me this stupid phenomenon?

"Mi Chico Latino"
Donde esta el hombre
con fuego en la sangre

Ive got a secret.I cannot keep it
Its just a wisper of a distant memory
Just a dream or so it seams
Take me back to the place id rather be

You left a fire in my eyes
That lightens up the darkest skies
Im giving up im letting go
I'll find my way so

[Chorus]
Take me back to my sweet lavida
Find my love my dolce vita
Show me where i need to go
Donde esta mi chico latino
La la la la
Ay-y-y-ay
La la la

Stolen moments time has broken
My eyes ares open to this life-long mistery
And so i'll go with what i know
Take my chances and run with destiny

Now there's fire in my eyes
I'll break away and say goodbye
Im free to be im letting go
I'll find my way so

[Repeat chorus]

Ay-y-y
Que sueno, dolce y pequeno
Yo no se yo no se
Pero no es un cuento
Mi corazon con tormento
Chico latino te quiero y simplemente d

If I want to say "I can't" in Spanish..would I say "No puedo."?

And how would I say "I know." would I say "Yo se" with an accent on the e?

How would I say, "That is not funny" would I say "eso es no comico" or would I say something else? And what about "Why are you laughing?"

And is "What is your problem?" "Cual es tu problema?"

Also, this guy at my work said "dices ___guy's name at work__ "no toque (pronounced to-kay?? sp??)" I am unfamiliar with that word..what did he mean? Thank you!


I'm sorry so long! Gracias mis amigos! :)

I personally think the term is hilarious. Is it meant to be derogatory?

An argument between a German and an English guy. It is getting louder and louder... Suddenly the English guy yells out:
"Wanna throw a brick!?"
"Yes. I am very angry now!" answers the German. Picks up a brick and throws it into the windows of a butcher-shop....
"And now — Run!" the Englishman says...

Something was missunderstood, badly missunderstood.
But can You --- please --- explain WHAT the German guy missunderstood !???

Aaron.
