Howdy, /lang/. I was wondering if anyone knew a translation for "Вoлю зoлoту" in Ukrainian. From what I understand, Вoлю means freedom or will and зoлoту means gold, so I'm guessing it might mean golden freedom. Anyone know? 3 posts omitted.

Spanish to Portuguese View Thread Reply Hide Ian Mummerbotch - Fri, 31 Oct 2014 13:54:54 EST 48iE+eos No.11823 File: 1414778094106.png -(38533B / 37.63KB, 653x467) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. quick question for you guys. I'm aware that romatic language grammar structures are quite similar, but are they basically identical, just with different words, verbsm and conjucations, or are there major grammatical differences between them, specifically Spanish and Portuguese.I have spoken Spanish for nearly 3 years and have obtained a fairly high level of fluency and comprehension in the language, mostly because I have lived in a Spanish speaking country for the time. I like languages and would like to learn another, and figured Portuguese would be a language not all that different (I hear Italian is closer but I have more interest in Portuguese because of Brazil).Issue is, I do not have a lot of time right now, and may be just an hour before bed. How similar are the two languages from a grammatic stand point?Thanks. 7 posts omitted.

Even if it's a story I read about earlier that day. Pronunciation is difficult and there are enough differences in grammar to surprise you occasionally.. but if you speak fluent Spanish and you think Portuguese is hard it's because you've never learned another language, at least not as an adult. I would say it's a massive mistake to start learning Portuguese until you have an advanced level of Spanish unless you have to. I lived in Catalonia and I saw my friends who tried to learn Catalan when their Spanish was only intermediate struggle. They constantly made silly mistakes in Spanish, like writing "havía" instead of "había" or using Catalan words that sound Spanish, confusing which grammar rule was Catalan and which was Spanish.. If you wanna learn a language before you are fluent in Spanish then learn something from another family. German for example, it's much harder, but it won't fuck your Spanish to pieces. >> Lydia Dadgeshit - Tue, 10 Feb 2015 22:30:51 EST 9hlFs5NV No.11996 Reply Você tomará no cu intensamente com a pronúncia do português brasileiro.

I'm at a point in my arabic studies where textbooks and all that aren't getting me much further. When I got to this point with spanish I started watching movies I knew well dubbed in spanish alongside the original english scene by scene until I could move on to actual spanish films. With arabic though, the only torrents I can find are for Dysney movies, all in MSA and Egyptian. Does anyone know where I can find, like, any other movies or TV shows? Fight Club in particular I have pretty much memorized in English and Spanish, so that would be perfect, but others would be fine as well. I'd prefer the levantine dialect (especially lebanese) but MSA or Egyptian is fine too I guess. 1 posts omitted.

Every day life on earth becomes a little more text based. We text more than we talk, and the things we write down will out live our bodies.I've noticed as this happens, punctuation has failed to keep up and it's becoming annoying. Has anyone else felt this? Like you need more symbols to properly convey exactly your tone and intent?I feel like we definitely need a new punctuation mark somewhere between the fullstop and the exclamation point. There are so many times I am writing something and it's emotional enough that the fullstop is just too mundane. But an exclamation point is not accurate either, it's too intense and overuse is quite frankly starting to devalue it. I suggest something like an exclamation point but with a cross on top instead of just a vertical line.Also we need a new set of alternate quotation marks, it feels weird to quote something that already has quotes in it, and it ends on a quoted sentence so you end up with two quotation marks right nest to each other. Like if I wanted to quote a news story that was all like "In his defense, Area Man says his naked marathon is beneficial for the community. "I believe I am providing the sexual education public schools are afraid to.""You see how awkward that last bullshit looks? We have 3 separate varieties of brackets for mathematics, (), [], {}. We're at the point where we need a linguistic equivalent.What suggestions do you have /lang/? >> Graham Goodforth - Wed, 15 Jul 2015 03:51:02 EST 20BU4QeQ No.12224 Reply It doesn't matter how much shit you tack onto the latin alphabet.

I've had a bunch of ideas of how to "improve" the way English is written, but never acted on most of them.About the parentheses though: If you have a quote within a quote, I believe you're supposed to use single quotation marks inside of the doubles. Let's try it.>"In his defense, Area Man says his naked marathon is beneficial for the community. 'I believe I am providing the sexual education public schools are afraid to.'"Okay, it still looks a little strange at the end of the sentence. In situations like that, I think it's best just to rewrite the quote so you don't end up with too many quotation marks stacked at the end. Maybe this would work:>"In his defense, Area Man claims his naked marathon is beneficial for the community. 'I believe I am providing the sexual education public schools are afraid to,' claims <Area Man's surname>." >> CrazyFolksTribe !loJSOMZg0g - Wed, 15 Jul 2015 04:25:50 EST JlPHeb6o No.12226 Reply >>12225And apparently, different quotation marks are used differently depending on whether you use British or American English. I don't want to go into that though.

I've had a bunch of ideas of how to "improve" the way English is written, but never acted on most of them.About the parentheses though: If you have a quote within a quote, I believe you're supposed to use single quotation marks inside of the doubles. Let's try it.>"In his defense, Area Man says his naked marathon is beneficial for the community. 'I believe I am providing the sexual education public schools are afraid to.'"Okay, it still looks a little strange at the end of the sentence. In situations like that, I think it's best just to rewrite the quote so you don't end up with too many quotation marks stacked at the end. Maybe this would work:>"In his defense, Area Man claims his naked marathon is beneficial for the community. 'I believe I am providing the sexual education public schools are afraid to,' claims <Area Man's surname>."

I don't know if many of you have noticed, but the bible is a very good way of learning languages. Maybe not when English is involved because of the archaic language, but otherwise it's more or less similarly translated in all European languages.Many have a gist of some of the stories.Virtually every sentence is numbered.Its easy to find some story that can keep your attention.Reading the bible is quite interesting in many ways even/especially if you're not religious. >> Phineas Blandlelud - Sun, 10 May 2015 10:16:32 EST 4a9FnRGS No.12116 Reply >>12110I have found this too. Being able to look each sentence up in some other language is really helpful.As for>Maybe not when English is involved because of the archaic languageI don't agree. I find the ESV translation is easily to read and it's not that different from what I speak. Also there's the Basic English version I think it's called which sticks to fairly simple language.But in some very obscure languages it's hard to find a good translation. For example the Ainu version (translated by John Bachelor) is unusable to anyone who actually speaks the language today. >> cursive !M6R0eWkIpk - Fri, 03 Jul 2015 17:46:53 EST CEs+htsk No.12211 Reply 1435960013711.gif -(1425502B / 1.36MB, 200x200) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. >>12110so are instruction books and assembly manualssometimes menus too. i cracked the korean alphabet over kim bob (it had each word written ~pheonetically in english also)won't work with chinese menus >_<
