Just to mention it. AUSTRIAN is actually the same as German. We have the same book titles.

You can leave out the Belgian and the Luxemburgian. Belgian is just the same as Dutch and as far as I know Luxemburgian isn't a language on its own.

Is German as distant from Austrian as US English is from UK English?

Svenska-Engelska-Bahasa Indonesia
I've just put the singular in, because Indonesian plurals are mostly formed by doubling the word (which may be a tad monotonous for this). I'm not sure if the words for lorry etc exist in the language, so I've left them blank. Oh- and is there more than one way to spell 'tallrik'? Or have I been spelling it wrong? ------------------------------------- Man/Män - Man/Men- Orang laki-laki Kvinna/Kvinnor - Woman/Women -Orang perempuan Barn - Child/Children- Anak Hund/Hundar - Dog/Dogs - Anjing Katt/Katter - Cat/Cats - Kucing ***************** Lejon - Lion/Lions - Singa Leopard/Leoparder - Leopard/Leopards - Macan tutul Gepard/Gerparder - Cheetah/Cheetahs - ? ***************** Bil/Bilar - Car/Cars - Mobil Cykel/Cyklar - Bike/Bikes - Sepeda Lastbil/Lastbilar - Lorry/Lorries- ? ****************** Höghus - Tower Block/Blocks - Blok menara Skyskrapa/Skyskrapor - Skyscraper/scrapers -Pencakar langit Villa/Villor - House/Houses -Rumah Bod/Bodar - Shed/Sheds- Bangsal ******************* Dator/Datorer - Computor/s - Komputer Räknare - Calculator/s- Mesin hitung ******************* Ugn/Ugnar - Oven/s - Tanur Spis/Spisar - Stove/s - Kompur Sked/Skedar - Spoon/s - Sendok Gaffel/Gafflar - Fork/s - Garpu Kniv/Knivar - Knife/Knives- Pisau Talrik/Talrikar - Plate/s - Piring Last edited by Linaewen : 03-07-2004 at 06:53 AM. |
