I tried using my Portuguese translator, but it doesn't work with lyrics in Brazilian Portuguese!

My husband is Brazilian and told me this song was all about me and I want to know what he is talking about! LOL

cber tamis (2/22/2007 9:18:40 AM): Un Novio ideal: es aquel que te llama "bonita" en lugar de "sexy"; que te llama cuando colgaste con él. aquel que se queda despierto sólo para verte dormir. aquel que besa tu frente; que quiere enseñarte al mundo cuando estas desarreglada. Que toma tu mano frente a sus amigos. aquel que te recuerda constantemente cuando le importas y lo suertudo que es por tenerte aquel que cuando hable con sus amigos diga: "Es ella..." Si abriste esto tienes que reenviarlo, chico o chica, Si no me lo regresas supondré que no eres mi amigo, si tienes mucho amor de alguien copialo y mandalo a toda tu lista y en cinco minutos tu verdadero amor te llamará o te enviara un mjs

When I talk about "Among all the animals, what are my favorite one?", I would naturally say, "I like cats" using a plural common noun without 'a' or 'the'. I understand that.

I am thinking, however, whether we can think of any specific situations or contexts under which we'd prefer to say, "I like a cat" or "I like the cat", still meaning "cats in general".

In daily conversations, "I like cats." is used most frequently, and "I like the cat" sounds like I am talking about a specific one or applying an abstruct idea on 'CAT', ie. making the sentence sound more literal.

(1) I like cats.
(2) I like a cat.
(3) I like the cat.

About the sentences #2 and #3, can you think of any proper situations where we can naturally say 'a cat' or 'the cat', meaning 'cats in general?? I hope you people understand what I want to know here.

Thanks in advance.

It may be spelled differently. It sounds like TAYOMOor KAYOMO, I am sure that is spelled wrong too.

So Im in level 5 Spanish at my school. I really really enjoy learning the language but I cant fit it into my schedule at all anymore so Im going to have a whole year without practice. I dont want to forget everything before I get to college, so does anyone know where I can find someone from a hispanic country that I can email with? Im pretty fluent in the language, with only mostly minor mistakes but I would probably need to find someone who knows a little english too. Any ideas?

Again, I'm referring to Koine Greek, which is ancient, NOT Modern Greek. I need a website with a list of common phrases, if possible. Even better would be one that shows how to conjugate Koine Greek verbs. Thanks!

I went else to ask what is Mandarin slang for "delinquent girl", and these were the terms I was given:

Female hooligan泼妇 (po fu)
bad(immoral) girl 骚货(sao hou) 骚B (sao bi) 贱货(jian hou)贱B(jian bi)

sao1 B jian4

A female juvenile delinquent--女少年犯(i doubt its a slang) . i know they called 太妹 in HK movie.
A female punk -- 朋克妞

Does anyone here know any other Mainland Mandarin Chinese slang terms for "delinquent girl"? Please let me know and please list as many terms as possible. Thank you. :D
