Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
This reminds me of something which was, at first, mind-boggling to me but then became really cool.
In Hindi, 'kal' means both yesterday and tomorrow. You have to specify the tense to make it clear whether you're talking about yesterday or tomorrow. 'kal' is basically "one day from today".
:D When you finish it, I will speak it with you so that you have someone to practice with! How does that sound?
Once I read about a language that not only has no system of numbers, but has the same word for both "some" and "many".
hi i'm in love with different languages
studying italian atm.
it's such a pretty language. i think you're a little further in it than i am, though.Yay! Another Italian learner! I've just finished learning the basic verb grammar (tenses, etc.) and am about to move onto things like the conditional and subjunctive moods.

"In fact, trolls traditionally count like this: one, two, three... many, and people assume this means they can have no grasp of higher numbers. They don't realize that 'many' can be a number. As in: one, two, three, many, many-one, many-two, many-three, many many, many-many-one, many-many-two, many-many-three, many many many, many-many-many-one, many-many-many-two, many-many-many-three, lots."
uh ?_?who would've guessed that R's are pronounced as H's
