She said, 'Hello Nene'. In Turkish I asked her 'How are you?' and she replied 'Fine thanks.' I then asked her in German (we live in Switzerland) and she answered 'Fine thanks', in German. Not world shattering, but she's only 29 months old.

I am trying to find what the Kanji representations of two names would be Quinton and Katie. It may be that I am not understanding the Japanese language well enough and that Kanji "symbols" only represent certain thoughts or ideas/words and not an alphabet like english (i.e. K = a certain symbol, A = a different symbol etc). If this is correct than I am trying to find a "symbol" based language that will translate or represent the names I am looking to translate.
Thanks for any help, Sean

I have written a magazine article on Windows Vista, for the title i used "Hasta La VISTA, Baby?". What linguistic technique is this? I know it is something, its like a phrase and i changed it into a question to create a sense of confusion in the readers mind, does anyone know what this technique is called? Thanks

For instance, somebody asks you to do something. You do not want to do it, and in response to the request you say (tongue in your cheek): Oh, yeah... Happy to oblige... Just let me finish ironing my shoe-laces.

In my language it would indicate that you are no going to do what you are asked to, instead you are ready to find some other (even) stupid) things to do.

What would you say to show your ignoration?

I am looking to get a tattoo of this. It is on my grandfather's grave in french. But I would much prefer it for myself in Latin. I have seen a couple different translations. "Deus tantum me iudicare potest" and "Deus solum me iudicare potest". Can anyone tell me if either of these is correct? If not, any suggestions??
