Languages - November 2007

I appreciate the need to shorthand words when composing text messages, both saving time and message space. But I notice (and particularly on Yahoo answers) that teenagers and older folk who should know better, maintain this practice making their questions and replies virtually unreadable. I fear a demise in the standard of spelling and written communication. (And replying to this question using such shorthand would be awfully corny don't you think?)

I am new in the US, from the UK. I asked my boss to borrow a rubber because it was a big emergency. He gave me the strangest look! So I think I made a mistake and need to correct it. Can I be sacked for that?? I was so stressed I asked to take a break to go out for a ****.

How you write in the Hebrew alphabet "Or Ein Sof"?

I know you write "Ein Sof" like this: " אין סוף "

But the word "Or" (light)?

Please help me, I need to know how you write entirely "Or Ein Sof"

Thanks very much to everyone.

I am just starting to learn. I am British and have bought myself a 'total immersion' CD ROM. The first CD teaches you key words, grammar and phrases, and the second one is all in Hebrew to test you.

I do not have the money to stay in Israel to become physically immersed in the language. What else can I do? I am going to Israel on a month-long trip and would like to know a little conversational Hebrew by then, July next year.

Is this a feasible goal?

Any help welcome. Thanks.

with a sense of humor. I have very dear Greek friends from Astoria - recently bought a camp up here in the Adirondacks. Well, to celebrate, they and 3 other Greek couples came up and spent the weekend (yep, cooking lamb in the yard) & singing and dancing. What is the name of that dance? What a time we had! Well, as a present I would like to make up an 8x10 framed poster to hang on the door. Would appreciate if someone could type up in Greek the following (in as big a font as u can so I can copy and enlarge it, centered if that's possible)
!! Warning - Private Property - No Trespassing !!
Greek spoken here
All trespassers must be prepared to eat, sing, and dance (whatever the name of the dance is)
Enjoy my hospitality, or risk being shot - with Ouzo & fine wine!
and then underneath,
Ompah! ( however it's spelled )
If anyone can do that, I would truly appreciate it! Thanks so much

I am supposed to change this sentence and use a direct object pronoun in two different ways.

"Mis primos deben tener cuatro maletas en su casa. "

What I have got are these:
"Mis primos debenlos tener en su casa"
"Mis primos los deben tener en su casa"

But I don't know if they make sense at all. Am I supposed to include cuatro?

I have a huge test in a couple days and I still don´t really understand when to use each of the four past tenses in spanish. If possible could you also give an example using Hablar, Vivir, and Beber.
