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'.

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"

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.

I hate French.

As Mudkipblader said, it is an easy language to learn, but I just really, really, really, really... hate it. Mostly because of my teacher.

Ullion November 9th, 2006 5:17 AM

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!
French teacers are mean.

Welkom, EmeraldSky! Misschien kan je hier je Japanees verbeteren -ook al betwijfel ik dat XD-

(Welcome, ES! Maybe you can improve your japanese here -but I doubt it XD-)

EmeraldSky November 11th, 2006 5:32 AM

Gracias, Mudkipblader! (Thanks, Mudkipblader)!

Kotowari November 11th, 2006 5:35 AM

'T is niks hoor!
-It's okay.-

So you speak Spanish? In my school there is a course where you can learn that language.

Jari November 11th, 2006 6:44 AM

Welkom SmaragdLucht!

Erm, translation needed? xD

Kotowari November 11th, 2006 6:52 AM

Niet echt nee.
(not really, no)
Ik ben toch niet de enige die Nederlands praat hier.
(I'm not the only one talking Dutch here)
-crappy translation-
