Languages - April 2007

Here is my story:

Hay un hombre. El hombre fue a Richard quien tenía una tintorería. El entró y en su mano llevaba una tela. Richard preguntó: "Qué color quiere?" "Un color no existe," dijo el hombre. "Qué?" preguntó Richard. "Es un color que no es rojo, no es anaranjado, no es amarillo, no es verde, no es azul, no es púrpura, no es café, no es *****, no es gris, y no es blanco." "Sí, sí," dijo Richard, "venga a buscarla en un día no existente." "Qué?" preguntó el hombre, "qué es un día no existente?"

It is supposed to mean in English:
"There was a man. The man went to Richard who had a dry cleaner service. He entered and in his hand he carried a fabric. Richard asked, "what color do you want?" "A color that doesn't exist," said the man. "What?" asked Richard. "It is a color that is not red...and is not white." "Yes, yes," said Richard, "I will go to seek it on a day that doesn't exist." "What?" asked the man, "What is a day that doesn't exist?"

Thank you!

How do you say this in Spanish?

"They each had their own opinions and they didn't take the time to listen to each other. But they were all right. Always listen to everybody else, because their opinions matter too, and you are not always the only one who is correct."

I looked on Babel Fish and this is what it came up with:

"Ellos cada tenido sus propias opiniones y ellos no tomaron la época de escuchar el uno al otro. Pero todos correctos. Escuche siempre todos , porque importan sus opiniones también, y usted no es siempre el único quién está correcto."

I know that Babel Fish is not always accurate, so please help me translate this correctly! Thanks!

Please can you tell me if these are the correct translations, and how they work in context, if necessary:

Ready for anything - In omnia paratus
From one, learn all - ab uno disce omnes
Life is changed, not taken away - Vita mutatur, non tollitur

Thank you!

"Ready for anything"

(or something along those lines).

It can be any language at all - I'm trying to find which language I like the look of most for a tattoo.

(And no, this isn't a spur of the moment decision - I'm putting a lot of thought into it and won't get inked until I know 100% what I want)

I want to say this on my blog:

Nadine Coyle
When I first read this hotties name, I almost passed up the sexy pics contained in this post. Apparently she’s a huge European pop star, part of the group called Girls Aloud. She's dating Desperate Housewives actor Jesse Metcalfe. The pair met in Australia and after having flowers sent to Nadine's hotel room, Jesse managed to get a date with the goregous singer. Upon returning to the UK, Nadine denied they were an item but the paparazzi captured them out together and she could no longer hide the relationship. On 'Girls Aloud: Off The Record,' Nadine told viewers she did not like to talk too much about her private life, this being the reason it was kept under wraps. They later spoke to 'OK!' Magazine about their relationship in a one-off interview for the fans.

As I understand it, oranges originate from the east and were known by their sanskrit name of narang (a narang). So before they arrived in England, there must have been another name for the colour orange - please quote sources other than wikipedia.
Thanks.

Please quote your sources.

I'm speaking about grammar, not about pronounce (writing/phonetics) nor about overall difficulty

(I know, it's difficult to tell)

I'm not sure if I spelled it right. I was watching American Idol with musical guest/idol mentor, Jennifer Lopez, and she corrected Rob Thomas's pronunciation of muñequita in the song "Smooth". I was just wondering what it meant.

For instance when an object is assigned a word when the language is being formed, what is this called?

Before a tree was a tree, it was something else, but the act of assigning the name "tree" to it, is called what?
