but I can say haai just fine

 

hai is also an affirmative in Japanese

and Hayi is no in isiXhosa

 

That's just confuzzling What if they ever meet? :P

 

Also, a question I've been meaning to ask anyone who knows about it.... is Sign Language universal, or does every country have their own version? O.o

I think there's American and... normal

apparently not, seems lots of countries and language groups have developed their own sign languages

Now I think sometimes people at DM have misunderstood me because what I am trying to say was not what they thought I was trying to say.

 

And I cannot use fancy words.

 

Besides, I tend to mix words. I go mad everytime I try to express a complex thought.

I end up misunderstanding a lot. A complex thought is "WTH! What is this?" for me.

Sometimes it boggles me that words like "gotten" exist. They look pretty gruesome..

new words made up-

grossum= great+awesome

hangry= hungry + angry

 

...blame my friends.

I truly understand your pain. I mean, look what we do to this language!

 

 

 

 

 

Does anyone have any funny stories that they'd like to share, involving them speaking a second language in which they said the wrong word and caused a bit of a mishap in understanding?

 

I once ended up getting lynched in Mafia because "hunch" didn't have the meaning I back then thought it had... (will never again forget that...)

 

Making fun of me again, Ed.

 

I mix up words constantly. When I came to the BT I happened to write steel instead of steal. That´s how my steel brownies were invented.

 

When we were in Yosemite we saw signs with "Bear warning". I have a bad habbit of pronouncing bear beer. We had some fun at my beer warnings.

 

I noticed that I accidentilly wrote that I have bugged a admin in a PM just a few days ago. The person I talked to was very nice and pretended she didn´t see it. (Now I have bugged the admin in question but that is a secrete...)

 

Oh! The steel brownies... I've been gone for far too long. Can I have some?

 

thread necro!

 

Would barely call one month a necro...

 

and my search for heavy metal gangnam style continues

 

How did Dragonmount NOT explode when you mentioned "metal" and "gangnam style" in one sentence?

this is closer to the mark, different people singing the lyrics, though still not exactly what I heard

 

Ah, there we got the answer. Bad Metal also exists, of course...

actually the metal gangnam style I was looking for was quite screamy, you like that metal don't you?

I'm not really a fan of screams no.

 

Will post some of my favorite songs in the "favorite songs" thread once I'm finished listining to other people's songs.

thought you were, sorry.

 

Me neither really, but I liked this version despite it, maybe it was just the contrast
