Lilly Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've been browsing in the Mika accent thread for a few days and everyone is sharing their wisdom on the correct use of their own language which got me thinking.......Does anyone want to pick up a little of other peoples language in return for teaching someone else a little bit of theirs? As a typical English person I don't speak another language although I know very basic school girl French.........which really upsets me and I'd love to learn from everyone on here at least a few basics of their languages. I can just about translate a passage in French but have very little grammer to link words or say things correctly. I see that everyone thinks that Mika's grammer is good, probably due to picking it up as a small child naturally rather than having to learn it, so I guess it's easy for him to build on his vocabulary and apply the rules of grammer that he already knows. Am I a lost cause or can anyone teach me anything? Vix x PS........I am always amazed at how well people write in English on this Forum.....it really puts me to shame! PPS....I was thinking that maybe I could keep a list up here of very basic words and their translations from as many different languages as possible? Here are a few that I do know!! Hello - English...........Goodbye - English.......Thank you - English.....Love - English Bonjour - French.......Au Revoir - French.......Merci - French...........Amour - French Hola - Spanish...........Adios - Spanish..........Gracias - Spanish........Amor - Spanish I'm fluent in English and Arabic. I'm not that bad at French; I can have a simple conversation with someone in French. I also started taking Greek lessons for some strange reason.

vanessa Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Romanian - I would like to learn that. I already know French, Spanish and Portuguese and of course Romanian is a little related to these so perhaps I could pick it up?? Could you conjugate a Romanian verb for me? For example, the verb 'to love'? I love , you love, he loves, she loves etc. Just for me to see what it looks like. Yes romanian is related to french and italian and especially latin ! Well at present tense to love (a iubi ) I love =Eu iubesc You love =tu iubesti He loves =el iubeste They love =ei iubesc We love =noi iubim and other stuff : Hello =buna Goodbye=la revedere Thank you =multumesc Love = iubire numbers : one =unu two =doi three=trei four=patru five =cinci six=sase seven=sapte eight=opt nine=noua ten=zece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne84 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Finnish hello: hei goodbye: hei hei, näkemiin (or hyvästi if you're going for a long trip or leaving for good) thank you: kiitos love: rakkaus Swedish hello: hej goodbye: hej då, adjö (or farväl if you're going for a long trip or leaving for good) thank you: tack rakkaus: kärlek, -en In Finland we speak two languages although my Swedish is a bit rusty now. English is mandatory at school as well. I can also speak a little bit of Spanish, French and Russian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yes romanian is related to french and italian and especially latin ! Well at present tense to love (a iubi ) I love =Eu iubesc You love =tu iubesti He loves =el iubeste They love =ei iubesc We love =noi iubim and other stuff : Hello =buna Goodbye=la revedere this sounds nice Thank you =multumesc Love = iubire numbers : one =unu two =doi three=trei four=patru five =cinci six=sase seven=sapte eight=opt nine=noua ten=zece Thanks It's interesting to see the strong Latin influence (I did Latin at school too). I reckon if I put some effort in I could learn this. There are quite a lot of Romanians coming to Britain as immigrants now. I sometimes hear it being spoken in my town! Although it's mostly Polish immigrants in my part of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
