My mother language is Turkish and we don`t have articles like Spanish el/la or French le/la or German der/die/das in our language and we perfectly understand eachothers, it comes to me extremely stupid to use adjectives and adverbs as female or male by adding additional letters or changing their sonuds when we read. I really hate all Latin based languages and it is of course more difficult for people to learn coming from other cultures. Example a Turkish man/woman can learn English in 6 months by studying 3 hrs a day, but can not learn French/Spanish/Italian/German in the same period and even Latin languages with such articles feminin/masculine creates a lot of mistakes when you use the language, irregular verbs and tenses are completely a problem. I wonder what they think Language Professors in the world why they don`t act against to articles. Of course I respect to culture this and that but that is why all around the world English language is most used and people trying to learn.

I asked this q before and got zero decent answers.

I have to find a new senior project by Friday, and I still don't know what it should be.

I was thinking of translating a bunch of songs from Spanish to English (Ojos de Brujo), but that might be a bit boring, and I'm not sure it'll get accepted. Any ideas?

By the way, I NEED to hand my idea application by Friday. Thanks.

Hi. I know in Japanese, "yarou" means "rascal" and "bastard", and I was told it has other definitions. What other meanings does "yarou" have in Japanese? Please let me know. Thank you. :D

I realised that English has only 1 word for love, and is used interchangeably for almost everything. We can say I love my husband and I love Chocolate.

The Greeks, on the other hand, have four different words to describe love. Each word differs slightly in meaning to help us understand more fully what is being spoken of;
e.g. eros; love between a guy and a girl
e.g. storge; used for love between family members
e.g agape; used for unconditional, selfless love

But why do the Greeks have 4 different words to describe love, while in English, we only have 1? Is it the difference due to how the greeks perceive love in thier cultures?

Is it slang? Is it demeaning?

Does 'lol' mean 'laugh out loud' or 'lots of love'.

I'm thinkin I'm seein it used in both ways - perhaps I'm wrong. Do I have it totally around my ankles and it means something else? Please enlighten me.

Dearest Kerstin,

I have the English vernacular yet I cannot expose the words I would've liked you to read instead. I have contracted the flu. Things are slowly getting worse, but I hope your words carry some truth into my fate. If this is the only letter you receive, then I want you to enjoy it. It's in the language you grew up with and hopefully this letter hits a little closer to home. Stay safe, live well, and think about me from time to time if you want. I'll get better soon.

P.S. I know I sound like I'm dying, but it's just a common cold. I'm feeling really terrible. Apparently, you were the stronger one. I don't even know anyone who's sick and you're living with someone who was or is. I just thought that might be worth mentioning.

When you think about it, the British version makes sense and the American version gives the opposite meaning to that which it is trying to convey.

Where did this odd phrase come from?

I speak English... duh obviously Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, French, Vietnamese, Cantonese, and learning Greek right now.

What do you speak? Challenge me and in two weeks I can speak that language. In fact, we can speak any language we want. Well, at least I have this ability.
