It's not my fault. I was trying to cheer you up. Who'd have guessed that causing your stiches to come undone was a bad thing?
Fraktmann Frans Fransen fra Farsund, frakter femten fine fruer fra Fredrikstad, forbi Ferder Fyr. Fruene framfører fryktelige forferdelige fiser for Fraktmann Frans Fransen fra Farsund Høyesterettsjustitiarius sysselsettes i et forlystelsesetablissement. Konstantinopolitanerinnenespiperengjørelsesmaskin erier I should stop thinking about Swedish now. I've started to use its inverted word order all the time. 'Have you any spray? Think you that it was funny? It has I.' etc.. I also have a tendency to yell out things in other languages when emotional (or not). I know Lai uses English words unwittingly in German conversation. Do any of you guys also do this? Last edited by Linaewen : 08-26-2003 at 08:11 AM. |

And yes, we use English words all the time in the Swedish language. And in shool, which is a partly French school, we often use French words as well.

No, I mean use foreign words/grammar unintentionally. I never say 'Where is it?' in English- always Swedish, Indo, Italian or Chinese. Which may cause a few problems when asking other people, but who cares?
Ach, probably just bored 'Niel to death about Indo grammar. My apologies also for the number of PMs it took to cover it. |

Ru, is 'cussing' the same as 'cursing'? When my US cousin came here, I found out that Americans use 'cursing' where we'd use 'swearing'. Ok, posting in other languages. Masak apa? Air? -found it in an Indo movie I watched recently.Translates to 'Cook what? Water?', which was hilarious in that part of the movie. Var är han? In practically every Swedish movie I've watched. Also common to Swedish movies- murder or some other felony. Last edited by Linaewen : 08-26-2003 at 08:01 PM. |

I really appreciated the Belgians way of counting when I was in Brussels and stood in the line in a McDonald's resaurant. The cashier told me that I would have to pay 'septante' euros instead of the more complicated 'soixante-dix' Have fun in Brussels Lalaith! If you ever find yourself looking for a bar, look for a little place called the 'Drug Opera' (I know, the name is a little weird ). Very nice place indeed! Quote:
Murder? Felony? Of course you have to pick the cruelest Swedish movies to watch

I'll see what I can do if we go out. Won't you talk Spanish to me, Jon? I know that you are able to speak Spanish (better than I do).

Okay, I try to post a Spanish sentence now. Will take me hours.
Hola! Fue a el oculista hoy. Mis ojos no se convertio peor. Soy feliz. Que hacen hoy? Hasta luego Lai (I hope you could understand the second sentence). Another question: What plug-ins do they use in Brussels?
