I watching a show about Nostradomus and there was a part that said he latinsed his name as "Michel De Nostradomus(sp?)". I've heard it before in Everafter, the movie with DrewBarrymore, her character claims her name is "Michel De something or another". Does it have a particular meaning(family, occupation, appearance) or is it just a common name from that time? I was just curious thank you.

I need help with modal verbs (can, could, may, might, must, ought to, shall, should, will, would) in French, especially when translating something like "If I could be anything, I would be. . .". Would it be "Si je peux être quelque chose, je serais. . ."?
Anything to help is appreciated, although I'd prefer an answer with the information, rather than a list of websites to look up. Thanks in advance.

I am a 19 year old college student and I have taken 3 years of Spanish. I can communicate farely well with Spanish speakers and native speakers have told me that I know a lot of Spanish. I am taking Spanish II next year and I am wondering, am I too old to becomne fluent or is it a possibility? It is one of my big goals and do you think it will be too tough or no?? I work with many Hispanics and speak it almost every day. About how long do you think it would take me to reach my goal??

Thank you SO much! :)

i've used some of the translator on the net, still it makes no sense to me. What is this song about?especially at the end, why did she die??

J'ai perdu mon âme
En perdant Sylvie
J'ai perdu mon âme
En perdant ma mie.

Ah, qu'elle me revienne
J'oublierai le temps
Le temps de mes peines
Et tous mes tourments

Moi, je te pardonne
Et si tu voulais
Un jour de l'automne
Tu me reviendrais

J'ai perdu mon âme
Quand j'ai perdu son amour
Et moi pauvre diable
Je l'aime toujours.

{Refrain}

Par un soir d'automne
Elle est arrivée
Elle m'a dit : "Pardonne ! "
Et j'ai pardonné

Mais malgré moi-même
Tout au fond de moi
Etait né la haine
Qui dictait sa loi.

Et devant ma porte
Son regard caressant le mien
Là mon âme est morte
Dans le creux de ma main

THANK YOU

How do you say the following in Spanish?

"I will win..."

"You are jealous..."

and "It's not funny, I am serious"

Thank you! :)

ALSO, when is SU used and when is TU used because I thought Su was used when saying his/her/your..is it only when talking about possessions or what?

Thank you!

La vida es lo peor que le puede pasar a una persona. Es una vida llena de sufrimiento y agonia. No hay felicidad real en el tiempo que un humano vive. Ni el amor da la felicidad. Es solo una palabra que demuestra la debilidad de un terrestie. La muerte es la mejor parte de la vida. La muerte es el fin de este cyclo infernal. La unica salida es el suicidio.La felicidad real es el dolor, es lo unico que nos acompana en nuestro tiempo de humanidad. El dolor es lo unico que nunca nos dejaria solos.Nosotros los humanos fuimos la causa de nuestro sufrimiento eterno.
