Sorry...I just want to know if there's perhaps other meanings that wouldn't be shown in a dictionary!

I've heard a lot of Chinese folk say something to each other which sounds like "Neehow" or "Neehao". What does that mean?
Also how would I say in Mandarin, "Help",
"Sorry",
"Ambulance",
"Thank you".
These might seems strange, but I think those would be far more useful phrases for strangers who found themselves in bother abroad.

No Babelfish please

Need:

'The eyes are the windows to the soul'

If this doesn't make sense in Spanish, I need some fancy title accompaniment to a post I'm doing on macro eye photography. If you suggest a new one - let me know what it is in English please. The more local and impressive the better!

If your not Spanish, other languages would be interesting (human translation from fluent speakers only though please!)

I found a translation on Altavista Babelfish, but the result is in Japanese characters. Does anyone know the translation using English characters, and how is it pronounced?

They spell "color" as "colour" and "center" as "centre" and "check" as "cheque," plus many other words are spelled wrong too. Is it because nearly 1/4 of Canada is French speaking??

In German, the two verbs "andern" and "verandern" with umlauts on the first "a" in each word, both mean "to change". However, there are supposedly different ways of using them, ie. you use "andern" in certain circumstances and "verandern" in others. A German guy told me this but didn't know why so does anyone out there know?

It doesn't have to be literal, but along the lines of it. My german is too little to translate this from english the right way. =/ Thank you!

Que dice el clima, ya mejoro??

El llegar a las 38 años te hace a veces sentir un poco deprimido porque a lo largo de tu vida hubieras querido cosas mejores, pero no siempre sucese eso.

Tu ya estas casado, con un hijo, y me imagino a punto de divorciarte otra vez.

Pero no siempre la vida es color de rosa.

Para muestra un boton, mi vida tampoco ha sido color de rosa. Tengo 39 años, no tengo trabajo, mis ahorros se estan terminando, sigo soltera, no tengo la dicha de un hijo. Y para colmo cuando pienso que ya encontre al hombre de mi vida se va con otra. Con el correr de los tiempos he ido asimilando eso. Que quizas, sea cierto que los hombres las prefieren 90-60-90. Porque nunca he sido delgada.

Asi que no estes tristes. Pronto se solucionaran tus problemas.

Mi abuelo siempre me decia que las cosas tristes sirven para fortalecer tu espiritu. Porque aprendes de los errores.

Eso siempre me ha ayudado para levantarme desde mi cenizas y volver a renacer como un ave fenix.

Aunque no creas por parte de la famlia de mi mama hay costumbres chinas que no se pierden. y he tratado de aprenderlas y difundirlas. Sera por eso que amo la comida china.

Ahora por ejemeplo estoy en la casa de mi prima que vive en ventanilla, mi tia ha venido de chincha y me estan preparando mi carapulcra chinchana, que es comida tipica de alla que me encanta. Y como aqui hay internet, estiy aprovechando para responder mis emails.

Asi que puedo decir que sigo recibiendo regalos por mi cumple...

Un amigo del colegio cuando me encontraba trsite me decia, lo que se debe recordar son las cosas bellas que te han ocurrido en tu vida y el resto lo debes borrar asi nunca sufriras.

Espero que cuando sena tus vacaciones tengas el dinero suficiente para visitar mi tierra. Peru no es muy grande como Canada, pero al menos hay mucho amor.

Ya me dices cuando tienes planeado venir, asi podemos planaer paseos y cosas asi.

Aunque te conozco por este medio. espero algun dia conocerte en persona.

Ya me cuentas cuando vienes a Visitarnos.

Que tengas un lindo dia.

Cuidate,

Besos,
