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):

I am very tired. (french) that was ez.. :P that was like...gr4 french XD

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

Pikabloo October 29th, 2006 1:08 AM

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

Hi, hab ja schon 'ne ganze Weile hier nicht gepostet^^
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?"
