OK, now I get it..

Unusual name you have!

Just joking, it's nice.

Menya zovoot Anders (Russian)

I would write it using the cyrillic alphabet, but I am on a public computer.

Linaewen · 02-04-2004, 07:55 AM

That Polish symbol didn't come out right. The last /e/ is meant to look like an /e/ with a cedilla, not a circumflex.

Eärniel, do you know why the Flamenco art form is named after the Flemish? (And that Flamenco is also a Brazilian soccer team?)

It is? Funny, I always connected it with the flamingo-bird instead of us.

I reckon that means: "No I don't."

You can add Afrikaans: My naam is Anders.

What does your name mean btw? In Afrikaans it means 'Different'

***Jonathan*** · 02-04-2004, 06:02 PM

Anders comes from the Greek word andros, which means 'man'. I see that linguistic course I had last year wasn't totally useless

I thought that too, do you want me to tell you why we were wrong?

Are you only interested in the Dreamtime, or the native Australian languages as well? Because I think you'd have a heart attack trying to learn them, (Words taking 4 cases simultaneously?

), but then not many people can speak much of them anymore.

Flamingo's can't dance? Sure, go ahead and enlighten me.

Erm... myths and history will do, please not more languages.

Remember I don't have your incessant appetite for them.

There are many native languages going to be lost a a few years.

It's a pity, really.

Ah, finally a challenge!

Would be fun to learn, actually...it's sad really, so many languages lost.

I don't know if they can dance or not. I meant, why were wrong in thinking that the Flamenco was named after the Flamingo bird.

That's a shame. I don't know anyone who is as excited about comparing grammar as me.

It'd be good to have a grammar-comparing buddy.

Oh, all those other languages you know were easy, were they?

Yes, it is a pity. There have been thousands and thousands of languages and now only about 6,000 are spoken. And probably a lot of them have no more than a handful of speakers (such as the Aboriginal languages).

Falagar, I don't know about you, but the idea of using 4 cases at a time terrifies me.

I should try and get you the turkish and bosnish translation.

I'm too lazy to search for that old accents thread, so I'll post this here.
