I've just read that in England shops or offices write this notice when they are open to public, in office hours , I imagine: "BUSINESS AS USUAL". It sounds quite strange and I've never heard it before. Is it really used in normal English to mean "we are open"?? Thanks.

Like the word "area" they pronounce "air-EE-errr." I always thought it was ""air-EE-a." Where is the "R?" They invented the English language...am I (an American) speaking incorrectly??

I mean in a rather mainstream, formal editorial. Not all the words English speakers use all over the world.

How would you say these in Spanish:
1. The man/woman has suffered a lot (maybe: El hombre/la mujer ______ mucho- I just don't know how to say "has suffered")
2. The woman has cried a lot
3. And the man has cried with her
4. Ella tiene que comenzar hablando (Is this the correct translation of "She has to start talking"?)

Thank you to anyone who answers!!!

How many words in the English language can you name where if you put "the" in front of them, people instantly know what you're talking about?

Two examples would be "the pill" and "the bird".

"The pill" refers to a birth control pill and "the bird" refers to giving someone the finger. So, how many other words like this can you think of?

Do other languages have an equalivent to this?

Someone commented on it, but I just wanted to make sure that 'punto de vista' means point of view, in Spanish, right?

I myself am English and am studying Chinese, I know many people study different languages for educational, recreational or career purposes. I think that Answers is a great place for people to share information and that it's a shame that we aren't allowed to ask questions or answer questions using other languages.

Perhaps Yahoo could help by opening a sub section within languages - for questions using other languages. What do you think?

Where did the name Nimrod come from? And why was it turned into a slang that is used to insult a person? Who started useing this as a slang, and why? It was once a proud name to have, now it is not.
