Hi,
I was wondering if anyone who speaks Italian could help me out. I am confused by the word ragazza or ragazzo and fidanzata or fidanzato, because i thought fidanzata meant fiancee or engagement but someone told me it can mean boyfriend(fidanzato) or girlfriend (fidanzata)? I don't understand that and was wondering if that was the case.

Hi, I am reading a Sherlock Holms novel written by Doyle and Carr, and I can't understand a paragraph. It goes like this: "That's me, Mister detective!" said he." Saw you fight yesterday. You could be better, but you'll do. One day, my man, they may make prize-fighting legal. Till they do, a gentleman's got to arrange a neat little mill in secret. Stop a bit, though!"
Does that mean " I saw your fight yesterday, and you were good. One day, they will make wager for boxing legal."? And I don't understand "till they do,.....Stop a bit, though!"
Please kindly explain. Thanks in advance.

We Indian are clearly aware when it comes to the oldest language in India it is either Tamil or Sanskrit .

But which is the oldest ?

Ofcourse some website do have it"s say for Sanskrit but it dosent really make sense when compared to a language like Tamil which is dating back more than 5000 BC .

Lets not bother about Google or Yahoo , lets come to facts ,
According to facts and research, is the Hindian goverment bias over Sanskrit just because it is mother of Hindi ?

This always triggers my mind, because Tamil is dating back to the time of Kumari Kandam also known as Lemuria, a lost land swallowed by the sea and lost forever,
an explorations carried out by Graham Hancock and his team, who working in association with Dr Glen Milne, a specialist in glacio-isotacy and glaciation induced sea-level change, were able to show that areas at 23 metres depth would have submerged about 11,000 years before the present time or 9,000 BC.

I hear this a lot and see it on the Internet quite a bit. What does this term "ballin'" mean anyway? Is it a vulgar term or is it just something to describe hanging out with one's friends?

Here is the dialogue, I need to fill in the blank. It's at a restaurant.
Serveur: Vous desirez?
Anna: Je voudrais une limonade, s'il vous plait.
Serveur: Et pour vous, monsieur?
Paul: Pour moi, un sandwich au jambon.
Serveur:_________________________________________
Paul: Un jus d'orange, sil vous plait.

I would like to fill in the blank with 'anything else?', but whatever you can come up with and fits in will be fine. Please do no use freetranslation.com, the answer there is not one that I can use. Also please be sure to write the English translation! Merci!

French? German? Spanish? Slavic languages? Languages other than those? I have an idea what most folks will say. Probably Latin. But by using that logic, couldn't you say that English has borrowed alot from Spanish because that is also Latin based?

I'm using Rosetta Stone, and the word seems to mean 'get up', but the literal translations I've been finding say it means 'stop.' 'Stop,' however, makes absolutely no sense. Is there another meaning to the word?
