Cheers Vaskez,

I always learn new words in foreign languages on these threads, I love them. I used to be able to count to 20 in Japanese, but I can only rmemember as far as 5 now, my attempts at transliterations for 1 - 5 is as follows

1 itch
2 nee
3 san
4 chee
5 gor

I usually say that I´m plain simply odd http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Hehe, the question is can u pronounce them? LOL
Most english ppl are completely incapable it seems of pronouncing the sound "gy" in HUngarian as in "egy" (one). The way to pronounce it is like the "d" in "dew" as in the dew on the grass. But all those who I've spoken to cannot seem to transport the sound from english into another language. Hehe. If u wanna know anything else just ask.

I once know how to count to 40 in Japanese, that is how many push ups we did at wrmiong up when I trained Karate..

Now I know some obscure Hebrew words from training Krav Maga... Don´t know what they mean or how to spell though..

Havent read all replies, but ill tell you about spanish.

Man is said "hombre", and it has always said "hombre" for designing the whole humans. For example, we say "El hombre ha ganado muchas batallas a la naturaleza" which literally means "the man has achieved so many wins against nature". Lately (last 1 or 2 years) feminism is rising (and i dont think its bad) so now we say more "La humanidad" (mankind) instead of "el hombre" (the man). This is happening with lotsa words. For example, "médico" (medic) or "juez" (judge) have always been words for both male and female, but now some people has started to say "jueza" and "médica" when theyre female (in spanish female words often end in "a", and male in "o"), which isnt correct in our language, but its politically correct.

Right pair of old warriors we are http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif,

Still wandering off topic here so to steer us back on track I gonna ask does anyone here speak Norwegian, as in my work have had to accept Norwegian text in our program, and it seems to contain some German and some Swedish, but I've only seen a small number of words, can anyone give more information on where most Norwegian words derive from.

Norwegian, is derived from Old norwegian, norse. It is basicly as old as all the rest of the Scandinavian languages. It has some influences from Swedish and you can also find Norwegian in Icelandic.
Due to to battles in the Scandinavian all languages bare traces of each other but also from German and french since we "borrowed" some royalties from there during some tougher years.

But basicly it has developed from far back as its own language.
But you better ask a Norewegian about this, they probably would hate a Swedish wolf-fan as meself to describe their language http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
