aus alter Freundschaft ihn werde ich nie vergessen. From old friendship, he will never forget. I have a friend who has a very elaborate art piece painted on an entire living room wall with these German words written on it. Any translation would be nice. Thank you.

Think online translators are the end all be all of language. They will less than 0.5% of the time be correct. The longer and more complicated your sentence is, or even more complicated languages, the worse the will be! They hardly ever get individual words right! So I guess I have to ask a question:

How many people feel the same way, and how many people choose to defend their precious online translators. Support your answer.

Im not asking why is a German speaking english sound different from a native english speaker,
But why are there different accents, of the same language?
Theres an American Boston accent, Southern, ect
Why is there a difference between American and British?
Or even in other languages, The Germans speak the same language as the Austrians, but the Austrians say things different.
I've heard there are multipul spanish accents.
Why is that?
How are there different accents?

I've seen both, I've asked people and nobody seems to know the answer. Please, serious answers ONLY.

If you don't know the answer, abstain from replying.

Thank you very much.

I would like to see how many different ways 'love' is defined by people, and if you know how to say "I love you" in a different language please list it ...
Example: in swahili they say- Nina penda wee wee....
and just for the record ,I think 'love is sacrifice'....
Thanks everyone ;)

This is regarding any language that you are learning -

How much does one need to know to be considered at different language levels i.e.

When does a beginner become an upper level beginner - How much do they know at that stage?

When are you considered to have reached the intermediate level? What do you know by then? How about upper intermediate?

And finally, advanced; when are you considered at an advanced level of language learning; what do you know by then?

How much time on average do you think you spend on each of the levels? Time can be anything - studying, exposure to the language, whatever you want to define it as.

Thank you for any relevant opinions.

If you answer "yes" then you have not answered the question with a 'no', but it you anwer it with a "no" then you have agreed with the premise of the question that it is not possible.

Hello I am in an argument with my room mate. I tell him I am going to JC Penneys and he says no, "it is JC Penney, not JC Penneys.". I let it go. I then say I am going to Sonics, He says no the store name is Sonic so you are going to Sonic. My written grammar/english suck because I am lazy, but saying "I am going to Sonic" or "I want to go to Sonic tomorrow" just doesn't sound right, and he is clearly wrong. But he needs proof. Help me!

English is not my first language. In two years of YA, I've asked some questions about the meaning of words and expressons in English, and I never had all native speakers agree about them. In one occasion, I couldn't get one single satisfaying answer, and I still don't know the answer to that question, many months later.

Your thoughts, please?

Thank you! :)

Have a wonderful day! :)
