Hi there folks!
I just ordered quite a nice pc upgrade that finally enables me to look forward to oblivion instead of saying "hell yeah nice game but won't work @ my pc" ;-)
To cut a long story short, I'm going to haunt this forums regulary by now.

I speak german ( quite well i assume coz its my native language ^^) and rather bad english ( learning it since 7 years at school ). Latin won't count as a language, eh?

Btw:
I like wolves a lot <~> Ich mag Wölfe wirklich gerne

just something my french teaqcher says, we speak american, not english. it's the same thing but apparently american is more slang oriented or sumthin


...your english seems fine, welcome to the forums!

Heh thanks to the people who told me the translations, I find languages so cool... I wish I could understand Gaelic... my bloodlines come from Ireland and I think my last name means "strongman" in Gaelic or something I forget...

I speak swedish, english, german and a tiiiny bit french...

now then I understand norwegian and danish quite good.....and I can read dutch.....fairly good




"I love wolves very much" would be in swedish

Jag älskar vargar väldigt mycket

I'll keep the short version, appreciated very much though! Heh it is amazing how many languages one European or Asian person can understand.... I only know one.... ( I wonder) because the Spanish courses in middle schoola are not very effective (wink wink)

To correct a bit your list Wurlon, I love wolves in spanish is "Me gusta mucho los lobos", I don't know who told you that sentence but it's wrong

French --> J'aime des loups

I also know Swedish fluently and a tiny bit of japanese, (studied it for a year but have forgotten a lot).

so 4 and one 100th of a language it is then

Or simply put,

"Amo los lobos"

I'll take your word that los lobos is wolves, but I think that me gusta is not "I love" but "I like." Actually, specifically, me encanto (might be encanta, I forget) would mean I love, me gusta means pleasing to me, or it pleases me, I believe.

So, "Me encanto mucho los lobos" means "I love wolves very much." Saying, "Me gusta mucho los lobos," means "Wolves are very pleasing to me."


Or at least that's what my teachers taught me. If you think you know better, then trust your Spanish more than mine any day, I don't place great faith in the NYS LOTE system.

Well, I lived in a spanish-speaking country for 10 years but still I don't trust my spanish 100% there are so many "flavours" to it..

However It's true that "Me gusta" isn't "I love" but "I like". but if you would directly translate "I love wolves" it would be as Megil said "Amo los lobos" but I think personally that "Amo" is a bit too much. Only on the most romantic moments when it finally happened that I would use the word "Amo", or maybe when I exagerate over liking something. So I guess you can choose:

"Me gusta mucho los lobos" --> I like wolves very much
"Amo los lobos" --> I love wolves
or
"Me encanta los lobos" that would be "I really like wolves" or something like that..

Man, spanish is hard

very true, amar is a rather strong word for the expression. I liked the "me encatan los lobos" it's more enthusiastic than gustar, and not as passionate as amar. good work guys

I second that. I think they teach Mexican Spanish at my school, but I'm not sure. I'd still trust your word over that of my teachers, not only are they being paid for by the evil school board, but we haven't gotten very far in Spanish yet.

So I was paying attention that day. Great. So, he shouldn't use "amo" unless he's really into beastiality?


Thanks. I guess Spanish class did prove useful for something in the real world. Huh, and I doubted my teacher when she said that. Bad me.

I might be dropping Spanish after this year. Where I live, taking Spanish 2 is required for the Regents Diploma, which is practically the same as the normal diploma, but if you take Spanish 3 (next year for me, if I do take it) you can get the Advanced Regents Diploma, which is better. However, I somehow doubt that taking a foreign language will be required for what I want to take, which is a Computer Programming (specifically video game design) course.

You do? nice....are you by any chance swedish then...I can´t imagine anyone would learn swedish just for the fun of it......except certain ppl in Finland of course!

Yes minque I'm swedish Lived in Argentina for 10 years therefore my spanish and studied french for three years in school.

short version of a long story..

lol short version of a long story. I know what that is like. it is always hard explaining to people I have dual citizenship, venezuelan and british, and that I lived in Venezuela for 7 years, before moving to Panama for another 6, and then moving to the states.

Mi piacciono molto i lupi (Italian)

J'aime beaucoup les loups (French)

The diffuculty with languages that span over multiple countries is how you say it, for now I will use amo los lobos, or whatever I pasted down there and ask my teacher. Spanish is wierd like that

And also, I'm getting two different french versions, can anyone clarify one?

English, Mexican and enough of the various types of Arabic to get by.

Jeah, like me. (I'm on ninth grade and learning swedish all the time)

Hur är du?

English, German and PHP!

What is "PHP"?
