While editing training material I came upon this in a sentence: "if the underwriter decides that the risk fundamental is not acceptable". I have never heard fundamental used in this way. Is this correct or could I take fundamental out of this sentence completely?

I can't really understand why some people answer in the department "Languages" when they have no idea or a very vague idea of certain language about which the question has been asked? I got tired with reading useless answers containing literal and often meaningless translations taken from sites providing translation of words in different languages. People, do not you understand that those who ask expect an expert's answer! Do you really care about those 2 points you will get if your answer was of no use to the inquirer?

"Hello! How's a going now? Know what? I really miss u. When are u going to visit the school. All ur classmates had visited the school already. I really miss ur smile, ur voice, ur sweet character. Are you happy now? You always smiling to me, right? So, keep smiling, ok? Promise me that u'll always smiling like u used to do. I miss u and remember that I always love you!"

p.s. > I asked him to 'keep smiling' cause a friend of mine saw him ... well, how do I say this... Errr, no so happy. He usually like smiling to everyone, and so... Translate this please... (Romaji, my cellphone can't input 'kana'. but u can give it along)

Hey aLL, Does anybody know the german language, please I would appreciate if someone translated the lyrics to me
THX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Meine Augen sind so dunkel,
"Gleichwohl hast Du Deine Augen versteckt
Auch sind die Visionen schwarz,
Lichtschein hinter der Dunkelheit;
Schwarz wie die Nacht;
Ein Licht das mir gezeigt hat,
Der Dämmerzustand des Menschen -
Daß Du von Angst erfüllt bist.
Ist meine Zeit des Daseins."
Erzähle mir bitte
Warum Du diese Angst in Dir trägst!"

"Ich bin so alleine;
Einsamkeit in Ewigkeit -
Gedanken nur für mich,
Mit dem Schatten flüstere ich -
Mit dem Schatten tanze ich -
Einsam wandere ich,
Das Blut begehre ich: Totentanz."

"Den tödlichen Kuß zu empfangen;
"Tanze nicht mehr mit dem Schatten,
Folge der Finsternis in das Nichts! -
Tanze bitte nicht über das Grab;
Süßer Nektar auf Deinen Lippen;
Tanze mit mir den Walzer Luzifers.
Ein Rinnsal blutfeuchtes Leben,
Ich sehne mich Deine Braut zu sein
Ich lecke die Liebe aus Deinem Gesicht,
- Um zu Finsternis zu werden."
Ich lecke den Haß aus Deinem Gesicht."

"Ein so berauschendes Gefühl:
"Für immer und unendlich:
Meine bittere Existenz zu schmecken!"
Ein Seelsorger Deiner bin ich."

"Laß mich Deinen Kuß begrüßen;
Den selbstzerstörerischen Kuß..."

"Gebe Dich mir hin!
Ich war von Trauer erfüllt,
Ich war so untröstlich,
"... Bis ich sterbe, umarme mich,
Doch Du hast die Liebe entfacht..."
Und ich werde wieder auferstehen...

Ich liebe Dich..."

The standard Spanish word for raincoat is "impermeable" yet there seem to be a lot of regional words used in Spanish too. A Mexican lady once told me that she called it "La managa de hule." I've read that capa de agua, gabardina and piloto are also used in various places in Spain and Latin America. A few sources I've looked at mention capa and capa de lluvia for Puerto Rico. Is this true? If any Puertorrican (Boricua) speaker of Spanish can fill me in on this I would really appreciate it. Garcias / Thanks!
