Whats funny about your language?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Could it mean spam?

English is a cool language, primarily because it's the language I speak every day.

English is also very strange, we have various dialects and it is possible to carry out a conversation with very few actual english words, but most english speakers would understand.

No its not spam

estoian is the best language, you write as you say things and i can tell w\e I want to anybody and no-body understands.

Whitey, wasn't that chees? Oh no, that was juuuuust or something.
Damn I forgot, you told me once. But I got drunk that night so I can't remember anything.

Btw, South African is partially Dutch (yay) so a lot of words are dutch as well as places, like Kaapstad (Capetown) and I know of a place there called Oranjefontein (Orange Fountain).

I think it's funny that English is the only language that uses 3 tenses for the present, 3 tenses for the perfect plus a pluperfect and 2 future tenses. And thats just in the ACTIVE form.


Ehem, wrong you are. German is extremly complicated...you really don't want to get mixed up...seriously

He's right, the case system can be a nightmare to learn.

It's an axe, I use it to...hack at people

Post Sun Apr 25, 2004 12:08 am

fish, yep... learnt german for some time before.. truly a nightmare to learn the der die das, let alone all the other stuff.

Post Sun Apr 25, 2004 12:33 am

That's one of the (few) simple things about english - you have only the word "the", it doesn't decline or whatever.

Ehem, wrong you are. German is extremly complicated

Go on, how many active tenses are there... oh yes, I forgot the 2 imperfect tenses as well. Not to mention the implications behind the use of each tense. For example, use of the continuous present implies the action is being done at the moment while the the present simple implies habit.

I know there is a helluva lot of complications in German, but at least a lot of it is REGULAR, unlike English.
