Language Translations for Creation

Dez I only can agree to that, haha. Languages are very interesting, especially finding out how different they actually are even if they might belong in the same category. I always wanted to learn English, German, and Russian. I already know English, am working on German so so and I plan on learning Russian in the future. I can already read azbuka, which makes me happy but that's barely halfway, haha. 

Ah, you are welcome, I am really glad that you expressed interest. Usually, when I tell someone I am actually bilingual they assume I know Spanish and English for example, or English and French. And I partly understand because these are languages which commonly go together in various countries. 

Thank you very much in Czech is: Mockrát děkuji.  (word-by-word it says "Many times I thank you")
Thank you very much in Slovak is: Ďakujem velmi pekně. (word-by-word it says "Thank you very nicely")
But there are of course so so many variations because slavik languages love making things difficult, haha. In English you have "Thank you" and "Thank you very much" and "Thank you so much" and "Thanks". That is like.. 4? (there are of course other phrases expressing thankfulness) and Czech has about 7 maybe 10 ways to thank someone, Slovak the same. We have plenty of formality levels and a quite various spectrum of intensifiers. 

What I understood from your post you only speak English right? Are you American/British/Canadian/Something else? I am very curious. Do you speak with an accent/dialect? 

Oh, sorry to hear that you are sick, but I am glad to know you are doing okay! And thank you! 

sharkimi Wow, you're on a roll with learning then! Russian is a beautiful language! I've always wanted to learn Japanese, German, and Russian :) Languages fascinate me, probably because I have issues learning them 😂

Thank you for sharing more of your languages! I can kinda see some similarities (I think). With the Czech "děkuji" and the Slovak "Ďakujem," but I could be wrong. They just look similar. And yes, MANY ways to say thank you, especially if you add on accents 😂

Yes, I unfortunately only speak English. I'm an American, grew up in the southern part, but have more of a western accent than the southern drawl you tend to hear. In the south many people say "ya'll" when referring to people, I just say "you guys." There's more to it than that but that's just a really common example.

ryxeavrr A third Romanian speaker!! I'm excited! Do you have different dialects, I wonder? It's great to have you here! And your English already looks pretty good to me :) 

How much German do you know and how did you end up learning it? 

I can semi-speak Spanish and I’m learning Japanese. Tbh I’m best at translating things from Spanish/Japanese into English, but I can do both ways c:

arrowXflight Awesome! Welcome to the post! :) Really glad to have you. Thanks for offering up your assistance! 

How long have you studied Japanese? :0 It's such a complicated language, I imagine it's been challenging! 

Not exactly studying, but I’ve been doing it in my free time for a while now. I own multiple books on Japanese and some on culture. Mainly doing hiragana, but I know some kanji c: it’s not too difficult if you start looking for patterns, an example being the “charector” for (a), which is あ. If you look at the bottom, you can see a semi-like shape of the letter a in a almost @ sort of pattern. That’s one thing that helps me learn,  considering that making connections is simpler than trying to fill in sormehting that’s not there. 

arrowXflight That's great! I know trying to make stuff into pictures helps me a ton as well. Like how ぬ looks like a noodle bowl with a noodle dangling 😂 It helps a ton. Katakana on the other hand is a little more difficult. 

ryxeavrr Wow, I've always wanted to see Germany. It looks gorgeous in pictures! It's also interesting to think that people in the same country have different ways of speaking. I wonder why the capitol is different? Like what is it that causes people to speak so differently, I wonder? It's the same in the US, but the question still remains... 

They speak Russian in Moldova? Were they occupied by them at some point? They're close to Ukraine but... 

This is all so interesting, in learning a lot! 😁

SHDfsdf i can't say since chinese and english can't be compared (its like an orange vs an apple) but the grammar rules still screw me up all the time haha. I pretty much just rely on the first instincts sometimes when determining what to say/write. Also yeah def, that'd be pretty cool to pool in different knowledge abt languages and co. :"D

sanduke Yeah Chinese and English are... very different @_@ Honestly the biggest problem I have is learning the grammar. I'm pretty good with vocabulary! I just don't know how to string them together. To me it's if understandable, you're good XD

Another native Finnish speaker here! I'd be more than happy to translate too + if people need name help I'm also more than happy to lend a hand! I also understand meänkieli but it's such a niche language I somehow doubt anyone actually needs to use it haha 

Caine Welcome! We're more than happy to have you join us here! What is meänkieli?? I've never heard of it before :0 Is it a kind of Finnish dialect or another language in the area? 

Dez It's a controversial language in the way people can't seem to really decide if it's a real language or if it's just a dialect, but apparently Sweden does seem to consider it a minority language mostly due to political reasons. It's a language similar to the peräpohja dialect spoken in Finland, but in Sweden (where it's spoken) it has more Swedish words mixed into it & it's own pronunciations is how I'd describe it in the most simple terms. I have been listening to some radio shows in that language and it's like... it's almost like my own dialect but it has something fundamentally Swedish in its pronunciation ad rhythm that makes it really interesting and unique! 

Caine Wow that's fascinating! I didn't know something like that existed. So does that mean you also speak Swedish? Or at least some of it? Omg it's so cool hearing about all this! >w< I'm excited!
