Well, it might sound nice, but it`s a very empty language. In English there`s "avalanche", but in norwegian it`s "snøskred", which literally means "snowslide". Instead of inventing a new word, they just put together two words.

The worst example is what some people in Norway call a frisbee, which is "sendeplate". That literally means "sending plate". How unoriginal is that? Still, pretty much everyone in Norway uses frisbee, I`ve just seen that word in some sport shops.

Norwegian: "Er det det det er". English: "Is that what it is".
Norwegian: "Fart". English: "Speed".

[quote="Azdgari"][quote="lionman"]Los bellos momentos han quedado atrás, los mejores tiempos han pasado ya, solo me queda las mas sublime de las soledades, pero aun queda esperanza, aun queda fuerza, aun hay tiempo de sumirme una vez mas en la melancolía, tu mi dulce compañera, mi fiel amiga, sueña con migo una vez más y porque yo sueño contigo todos los días. Un frío abrazo en la oscuridad, un gélido beso en la noche, una helada caricia que me estremece, que me hace temblar, pero que me hace desearte un poco mas.

Dulces sueños amiga mía.[/quote]
Que lindo...[/quote]
Muito lindo!

Okay, pretty old topic here. I hope, you don't mind I'm pushing it :D

Well, as you can see I speak English (mother tongue) and also learn some German in school. Ehrlich, ich nicht bin gut deutsch in schule.
I fear, this little example is full of mistakes. But for now, I don't mind. Maybe someone else can help me (not right now).

Ik heb echt geen flauw idee meer wat we hier nu aan het discussiëren zijn... Dus wat is het onderwerp? (Dutch)
I have no idea on what we are discussing here, So what's the topic?
