• 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?

What languages can you speak?

I've pretty much always been interested in language and linguistics however I'm pretty useless at actually learning languages... It's learning all the vocabulary that stumps me...

In this thread, simply post which languages you speak and an example sentence from them. You can't include English. I'll go first:

Welsh:

Mi gysgodd y ceffyl yn ei wely neithiwr.
The horse slept in its bed last night.

French:

Où est l'homme qui salissait mes oignons?
Where is the man who soiled my onions?
 
I do not speak any French. But, every day, I'm learning.
 
El espa~ol es mi lengua materna. (Spanish is my mother tongue.)

Je parle un petit peu de francais. (I can speak a little bit of French.)

(sorry for not putting the accents/tildes/whatever)
 
ho studio un' po italiano all'università per due semestre

(i have studied a little italian at university for two semesters)
 
我应该练习中文,可是太忙 (I should practice Chinese, but I'm too busy.)

Soy una hamburguesa. (I'm a hamburger.)
 
Lladd dafad ddall (kill a blind sheep)
Yes I know mutations don't work that way but it wouldn't be a palindrome otherwise

And Sangfroidish's constant shitposting in my PM inbox somehow got me to start learning Japanese. A good a reason as any, I suppose. I've gone to a fair few lessons and am slowly learning more kanji, though I think I should try to focus more on grammar at some point since I still can't form many sentences.
 
Halveringstid: Fulla livskonsekvenser!

Det är en bra dag för att göra vad som måste göras av mig och hjälpa min bror besegra fienderna.

John Freeman sa "Zombie-spöken, åk härifrån!" och zombie-spökena sa "Men det här är vårt hus!" och John Freeman tyckte synd om dem eftersom de inte kunde bo där längre eftersom de var zombie-spöken så han sprängde huset och dödade zombie-spökena så att de kunde vila i frid.
 
John Stalvern esperó. Las luces sobre el parpadeaban y chispeaban sobre el aire. Había demonios en la base.

Él no los podía ver, pero los había esperado por años. Sus advertencias hacia Cernel Joson no fueron escuchadas y ahora era demasiado tarde, demasiado tarde para hoy, de todas maneras

John había sido un marine espacial por catorce años. Cuando él era joven veía las naves espaciales y le decía a su padre “yo quiero estar en una de esas naves papi”

Papa dijo “¡NO, vas a ser muerto por demonios!”

Hubo un tiempo en el que le creyó. Pero cuando se volvió mayorcete se detuvo. Pero ahora en la estación espacial base de la UAC el sabia donde estaban los demonios.

“eso es Joson” agrietoro la radio. “¡tú debes enfrentar a los demonios!”

Entonces John obtuvo su rifle de plasma y voló la pared.

“¡Él va a matarnos!” dijeron los demonios “yo le disparare” dijo el Cyber-demonio y disparo un cohete John plasmeo hacia él e intento reventarlo. Pero cuando el techo cayó, ellos quedaron atrapado e incapaces de matar.

“¡NO! Yo debo matar a los demonios” el grito La radio dijo “no John, tu eres los demonios”

Y entonces John era un zombi.
 
Á íslensku hefur helmingunartími ekkert með líf að gera. (In Icelandic, half-lives don't have anything to do with life.)

Jeg ved ikke hvad jeg skal sige på dansk. (I don't know what to say in Danish.)

Ich habe meinen Kugelschreiber vergessen. (I have forgotten my ballpoint pen.)

Mon français est très mauvais, mais je suppose qu'il compte.
(My French is very bad, but I suppose it counts.)
 
日本語がちょっとだけ話せるから、この文をなおさなければいけないでしょう。
I can only speak a little Japanese, so this sentence probably needs to be corrected.

I can also understand basic spoken Mandarin, but I can't read or write it and my pronunciation is terrible so I don't think that counts.

Ich spreche Deutsch, aber... nicht so gut. Ich wohne in Deutschland, aber ich gehe nicht gern weg von Basis.

Äidinkieleni on suomi. (My native language is Finnish.)

I'm also near native level in English.

I also know the bare basics of Swedish, Spanish, German, Russian and Japanese (can't read the symbols yet, but romaji i.e. the Latin letter variety is a piece of cake).

V koupelně byl šnek, tak jsem ho šla vyhodit.
There was a snail in the bathroom, so I went to throw it out.

German:

You must look at the puppet salesman all the time.

Spanish:

The dove is sitting on a deer and looking at us.
 
I can speak English, fluent American Sign language and I can possibly hold a conversation in French? Other than that, that's it though.
