Foreign Languages Club
 
This club is for all those who are interested in studying foreign languages (including English, as I am aware that we're from all around the world here). You don't have to be fluent in two or more languages, nor do you even have to have learned a foreign language to be able to join. We can also speak in foreign languages here.

Club Rules

1. I encourage you to post messages in languages other than English. However, please be aware that some people may not speak that language or their computers might not be able to display it. For this purpose, please provide an English translation.
2. Be polite to other members, and do not insult someone for making a mistake. Remember that mamy of us are still learning. If someone makes a spelling or grammatical error, you may kindly notify him or her of the mistake and correct it.
3. Internet "languages," such as chatspeak or 1337, are not to be used here. Fictional/ joke languages like Elvish or Klingon may be discussed, but please translate anything you're saying into English

It's good to see that we have people interested in all sorts of languages. I was afraid that we would only see Spanish, French, Latin, and Japanese here, but I'm glad to know that I was wrong.

I currently know year one of Spanish (am retaking it again but it's easier this time so I dont have to really apply myself) I'm fluent in English and pretty good in Japanese. I can form basic and semi-basic sentences in Japanese, know about 200 kanji and know 25 to 40% of the stuff in raw Pokemon episodes.

Pikabloo October 26th, 2006 12:02 AM

Sige, join ka sa club. Pero gamitin mo naman yung form sa first post ^_^
Okay, I think you can join. But use the form thing in the first post ^_^ -Tagalog
The great thing about Tagalog is that if you don't know how to say something, you can say it in English, and everyone will still understand. When you do it, it's call Taglish XD

Aqua Dream October 26th, 2006 4:04 PM

Bruchah Haba'ah (Hebrew: Welcome, literally "Blessed is the one who has come.)

My computer can display Hebrew, but I've been having trouble getting it to work on the forums. And actually, you're not required to fill out that form; it's just recommended.

That's pretty convenient. You can do the same thing in Hebrew too, as most Israelis speak English to some degree.

Ullion October 26th, 2006 4:28 PM

yo, my bro has suggested that i take internet lessons on learning Lithuanian

Pikabloo October 26th, 2006 5:40 PM

Lithuanian? That sounds pretty cool...
I really want to learn Thai, since barely any of the people here in Thailand can speak English properly... But I seriously cannot be bothered to take lessons. I know some stuff, like hello (sawasdee kah/krap), thank you (khap khun kah/krap) and hurry up (leaw leaw). The last one's vital for me, since most of my friends are SLOW...

lmfao.. asme w/ my friends... one is almost ALWAYS late... and well... ye XD lol... my grandfather was born in Lithuania, which is 1 of the 3 "Baltic Provinces" although they aren't provinces, they are countries... lol and Lithuania is in the middle of the 3.

Pikabloo October 26th, 2006 11:59 PM

That's cool. I've never met a person from Lithuania before. I wonder what Lithuanian sounds like...

Aqua Dream October 27th, 2006 11:14 AM

Some of my great great grandparents are from Lithuania, though I don't have any relatives left there since all of them left and went to the U.S. or Israel. I know very little about Lithuania because they all died years before I was born, so I'm very interested in learning more.

Ullion October 27th, 2006 12:16 PM

Haha same, we should research bout Lithuania together! XD lol


Bah, school was bad today.. man i need to get into remembering my french XD... i can't even remember how 2 use past/future tense XD.

Pikabloo October 27th, 2006 3:53 PM

Verb tenses in French kill my brain. I always get them mixed up. I seriously need to study more...

Virtual Headache October 27th, 2006 4:38 PM

I also think the tenses in English aren't that easy.
I had a look at a few French forums today, where I also posted a bit, since I want to get into French again and stop making so many mistakes.

I need more practice...

Pikabloo October 27th, 2006 4:47 PM

I did a French test two weeks ago in school, and I have yet to find out my result. I hope I did well... but I think I totally messed up my reading and oral test...

Aqua Dream October 27th, 2006 6:24 PM

English is one of the hardest languages to learn as a second language... and I know that from firsthand experience.

I have a bit of an edge when it comes to learning French because I've taken Spanish. Since they're both Romance languages, there are many similarities between forms and such.

Pikabloo October 27th, 2006 6:36 PM

French and Spanish are very similar, which could be helpful if I feel like studying Spanish instead of French the year after next.

I want to study Thai, but it's actually quite hard, since there's several words that have the same spelling, but different pronounciation, so it's easy to get mixed up. Writing and reading in Thai is even harder...

Aqua Dream October 27th, 2006 7:25 PM

Heh. That reminds me of the trouble I used to have distinguishing bass (the musical intrument) from bass (the fish) because they were both spelled the same way. Thai still sounds like an iteresting language, though. I bet there are some similarites between it and Chinese.

Pikabloo October 27th, 2006 7:31 PM

I really doubt it. This is what Thai writing looks like (for those who don't know):

Aqua Dream October 28th, 2006 7:55 PM

That's not the first time I had a problem like that. I'd imagine it's a forum glitch as it was a duplicate of the original post. Usually, it gives you a message when that occurs, and doesn't post the duplicate, but I guess it didn't this time.

Anyways....

Yo pienso que usted tenga que beber cafe (Spanish: I think you need to drink coffee.)

That's the best way to resolve being tired. Well, there's also sleep, but coffee can hold that off for a few hours. :P

Well...I suggest you to say:

- Pienso que tiene(s) que beber café.

Notice that "Tiene(s). That's why in Spain we have two ways of saying You.

Tú tienes is a familliar form, used when you have deal with the people are you talking to. Used with family, friends, etc.

Usted tiene is a more formal form, used with respect. Used with people that you have no deal, or in some sittuations. Used with teachers, bosses, etc.

I dunno if you understand what are you saying ;)

Virtual Headache November 3rd, 2006 5:08 PM

Wie geht's?
Spricht jemand von euch Deutsch?

Hi haven't been posting here for a while^^
How are you?
Are there any German speaking people here? (German)

Aqua Dream November 3rd, 2006 5:09 PM

Welcome. I'm starting to forget my Spanish because I stopped taking it this year so I could take Arabic. My teacher insisted on putting in the pronouns that you didn't use, but despite her being my teacher, I think I'm going to trust someone who's actually from Spain. It's possible that I was learning a different dialect spoken in Latin America, but I really don't know. :D

Technically, there are four ways to say "you" in Spanish (tu, vosotros, usted, ustedes), but there's two general ones. Hebrew and Arabic both have four words for "you," but the conditions for using them are a little different.

Pikabloo November 3rd, 2006 5:28 PM

There are two ways of saying 'you' in French as well. There's vous, which is used to show respect, to people you don't know, and if you're talking to several people. It's more polite than tu.

Tu is used with friends and relatives... And I guess that's it ^_^

Virtual Headache November 3rd, 2006 5:39 PM

There is also a thing like that in german.
You="du", if you know the person very well, or they are around the same age
"Sie" is more polite and used for older people, to show respect and people you don't know.

Ullion November 3rd, 2006 6:39 PM

Lol ya, i was gunna say that for frwench, turns out Pikabloo beat me XD
lol anyways, i still havnt checked up on Lithuanian, but since the NBA is back up on TV (Season ahs staretd again!) i prob wont care as much now.. :P

Aqua Dream November 3rd, 2006 7:48 PM

English is such a boring and unecessarily complex language. We only have one word for "you" which is no fun at all, and so many of our plurals are messed up. If the plural of mouse is mice, and the plural of louse is lice, then why is the plural of house not "hice?"

Heh, you're right there. It would be pretty interesting if that had happened. I can imagine saying, "How many hice are there in the city?"... Okay, that does sound pretty weird. Most probably because we're used to saying 'houses'.

Aqua Dream November 5th, 2006 4:15 PM

Welcome to both of you, and Auron, I've updated your username in the memberlist.

As you said, it's only weird because you're used to something else. On that subject, however, if the plural of goose is geese, the plural of moose should be "meese"

Ullion November 5th, 2006 4:27 PM

lol, stop making fun fo the only language ic ans peak fluently in XD
:'( Je suis lint XD
I am retarded (french) :P
lol
i think i might finally start looking up french stuff, altho it might eb ahdr tio learn sicne i don't know where to get lessons from on how to connect words together with cinjuctions n stuff, adn all the rules needed n stuff, otherwise i'd be speaking in a language none of you would ever understand lol

Kotowari November 8th, 2006 11:25 AM

Le Français n'est pas la langue le plus difficile. Je déteste le français à l'école, mais je ne déteste pas le pays.
J' ai trois heures de français par semaine.

French isn't the most difficult language. I don't like French in school, but I don't hate the country.
I have three houres of French each week.

Really I don't like french.

Aqua Dream November 8th, 2006 5:51 PM

I don't have anything against France, nor do I have anything against the French language, though I do agree that it's a challenging language to learn. There are some similarities to Spanish and Latin, since it's a Romance language, but that doesn't ease the learning process as much as I hoped it would.

Technically, there are four ways to say "you" in Spanish (tu, vosotros, usted, ustedes)

Well, you can use the pronouns, but they are unnecesary. You can use them, not use, use them sometimes...

Yeah, four ways:

Tú (Tú = You, Tu = Your): It's singular.
Usted: It's singular, respect.
Vosotros: It's plural.
Ustedes: It's plural, respect.

Jari November 9th, 2006 8:38 AM

We have 3 ways:
Jij/jou/jouw: You/you/your singular
U (really!): singular, respect
Jullie: Plural

Aqua Dream November 9th, 2006 5:25 PM

There are four ways to say "you" in Hebrew, but it is not to show respect. The word to use depends on the number and gender of the subject(s) being adressed.

Atah: Masuline Singular
At: Feminine Singular
Atem: Masculine Plural
Aten: Feminine Plural

I also know that Japanese has multiple words for "I," depending on who the speaker is. I'm not sure how many exist, though I one I prefer to use is "Watashi," which I believe is genderless. "Boku" is strictly masculine and "Atashi" is strictly feminine.

Pikabloo November 10th, 2006 1:40 AM

There are several ways of saying you in Tagalog, but I don't really think there's much difference between any of them:

Ikaw; Kayo; Kita; Mo; Ninyo; Inyo; Iyo

Some of those can mean 'your' aswell.

Same for me ^^

All personal pronouns.

Dutch
Ik : i
Jij/ Jou/ Je: You
Hij/ Zij/ het: He, She, It

Wij: We
Jullie: You
Zij: They (persons and things)

Fench
Je : I
Tu: You
Il/ Elle: He/ She/ - male/female noun (sing)

Nous : We
Vous: You
Ils/ Elles :Them - male/female noun (pl)

What I hate about French are the genders of the word, the accents (é, ê,à;è), the times of the verbs: (Subjonctif, Gérondif,) I get mad of them.

Pikabloo November 11th, 2006 1:11 AM

Genders are a pain... That's the thing that usually causes me to lose marks in tests... That and verbs.

That reminds me, I have to do French homework... O_o *dies*

Kotowari November 11th, 2006 1:14 AM

I have a test comming up, this thursday. XP
I hate the voc. I studied the words and not the sentences, and she asked those words in sentences. I just managed to get enough.

Verbs are the biggest pain, though.

Pikabloo November 11th, 2006 1:17 AM

Verbs in French hurt my brain. Every week, my teacher has these mini quiz things on vocab or verbs that we studied the lesson before. They're a pain...

Kotowari November 11th, 2006 1:38 AM

Ow, Poor you!

Hay nako... Bored nanaman ako. Hindi ko pa finished yung French homework ko...
Sigh... I'm bored again. I haven't finished my French homework as well... (Tagalog)

Ullion November 11th, 2006 4:48 PM

Yo pikabloo, what Garde are you in?
J'aide tu avec toi devoirs?
I'll help you with your homework? (French)
A-ha XD I don't think i sadi that right, man i need french class again :P

Pikabloo November 11th, 2006 5:01 PM

Year 10, so that's grade 11, first year high school... I think...

My homework is:
Describe the city of your choice in French.A photograph would be nice too. Use the structures from the book to eliminate mistakes! See Unit 2 first 4 pages.

>_> My french teacher is evil...

Aqua Dream November 11th, 2006 5:58 PM

Wow, I couldn't do that in French, though I might be able to describe a city in Spanish. The city I would probably describe would be Tel Aviv, the city of my birth, even though I doubt very many people speak Spanish there.

Bonne chance avec ton devoir^^
Moi, je n'ai plus de devoirs francais, parce que je ne vais plus à l'école.
Et vous n'aimez pas le francais?
Je pense que c'est une langue très belle^^

French:
Good luck with your homework^^
I don't have French homework anymore, because I don't go to school anymore.
And you don't like French?
I think it's a very beautiful language^^

Pikabloo November 11th, 2006 10:47 PM

Hindi naman. Okay lang ang French. Pero medyong mahirap. Achaka hindi ko gusto yung teacher ko...
Not really. French is okay. But it's can be quite hard. And I really don't like my teacher... (Tagalog)

Ullion November 11th, 2006 11:20 PM

Pikabloo November 11th, 2006 11:23 PM

Ehm, Je pense que tu (enter Subjonctif of Devoir) dire: "Je pense que j vontai (don't kill me, subjoncif is not my stuff) à mon lit." French)

Ehm, I think you have to say: "I think I'll go to my bed."

En nu in 't Nederlands: "Ik ga naar mijn bed gaan."
And now in Dutch: "I'm going to my bed." XD

Pikabloo November 12th, 2006 1:27 AM

Sa Tagalog: I think pupunta na ako sa kama
In Tagalog (more like Taglish...): I think I'll go to bed

=D

Kotowari November 12th, 2006 1:36 AM

To be honest, I have no idea what kind a language that is.

Interesting language fact:If the English did'nt conquer the US (and the Dutchman), we'd be speaking Dutch now. You know New York first was called New Amsterdam. XD

Pikabloo November 12th, 2006 1:46 AM

New Amsterdam... XD That sounds funny. I can't imaging New York being called New Amsterdam...

Tagalog is the language from the Philippines.

Kotowari November 12th, 2006 2:18 AM

Oh, I see.

In Dutch it would be Nieuw Amsterdam...
It's wierd when you imagine the entire world speaking a different language
(which would be mine, so it's even wierder for me)

Pikabloo November 12th, 2006 2:27 AM

I'm actually not so fluent in Tagalog anymore. I can understand most of it, but when it comes to speaking, I'm what people say in the Philippines barok. I don't think it has an exact meaning, but I think it's something like I can speak it, but not very well, or it sounds strange.

Kotowari November 12th, 2006 2:51 AM

Oh, well you can speak it better then me, though. ^^"

Virtual Headache November 12th, 2006 1:17 PM

Hey guys, I need your help^^
Someone has made posts on my forums in a language I can't identify.
I've been searching for some words on Google, but the results didn't help me.

Can anyone tell me which language this is and probably what it means?

Here is what he said:

Also, his profile says that he speaks the following languages:

I know what those are supposed to mean, but when I searched for those words on Goggle I hardly got any results.
I keep wondering whether he made up some words...

Aqua Dream November 12th, 2006 6:45 PM

It's probably Dutch or German, judging from that fact that he says he speaks French, Spanish, and Dutch or German ("Deutch" is the German word for German, so I really don't know which one of the two it is). It doesn't seem like Spanish or French for the most part, though I doubt he made the words up because it does seem to be coherent.

Ullion November 12th, 2006 7:56 PM

I agree with Aqua, defiontely not french XD wait i just looked at it more carefully. Some words are frnech. Maybe the different posts are different languages.

Ullion November 12th, 2006 8:06 PM

Oui, Beinvenue!
Yes, Welcome! (French)

lol simple :P

well i'm not 100% sure, but i dun see why not XD

Pikabloo November 13th, 2006 1:20 AM

Mabuhay!
Welcome! (Tagalog)

Actually, 'Mabuhay' can mean many different things. It's literal meaning is 'to live', but it's also used to say "Hello!", "Greetings!", "Thank you!", "Long Live!" and other goodwishes and goodwill.

It seems to be a mix of French, Finnish and Japanese. But it isn't one of those languages.
