olmecalmighty said: Rocket is a non-anime interests virgin. and likes circus acts, i like devil sticks myself. .....since I posted here now I think the word "virgin" isn't quite appropriate. let's say beginner lol I hit myself in the head with a devilstick once.... but no, hitting myself in the head with stuff is not part of my non-anime interests. good books, movies and poems are though ........ hm, sounds kinda boring |
| you're right, Rocket was deflowered here(does that make sense in german?). we all like good books, and poems and movies. here's a nice excerpt from John Donne "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee." |
| if you translate "deflowered" into german... it doesn't make sense. the only thing people here would think about when someone says "deflowered" is fixing up their garden. and I beg to differ.... there are lots of people who don't like poems and think Sports Illustrated and Vogue equal books ^^ those are not special interests but not as common as they should be ah, John Donne... |
| in english, deflowering is the taking of one's virginity, innocence, etc. |
| yeah I know.... my vocabulary is limited but as long as the words don't get too medical or too, uhm, slang-y I can mostly follow you guys. and medical terms I could look up of course..... so yeah I guess I got... "deflowered" here. - that sure sounds weird lol |
| i would think that for the most part medical words are universal. not really? |
| not really..... like..... if you talked about spinal disc herniation or the informal "slipped disc" and I wouldn't already know what that is I wouldn't get it....... because the german medical term is "Bandscheibenvorfall". okay, one could use the latin term for it of course but that wouldn't help much either. not me at least and yes, that is a weird example |
| or diseases? what about chemical compounds? |
| chemical compounds are only slightly different, as far as I know as for diseases.... some are only slightly different, others are completely different. it happens a lot that I read something about a disease (90% of the websites I visit are in English) and have to look it up in a dictionary because the german term is too different for me to immediately make the connection |
Rocket_Dive said: i know lots of scholarly articles i see in the fields of chemistry and biology are jointly written by authors from countries of different languages, so i was thinking some of it might be a bit similar.chemical compounds are only slightly different, as far as I know as for diseases.... some are only slightly different, others are completely different. it happens a lot that I read something about a disease (90% of the websites I visit are in English) and have to look it up in a dictionary because the german term is too different for me to immediately make the connection |
| some are... and there are the latin terms of course lol but there are also enough that are completely different. and then there are words (not just chemical, also every day terms) in English that sound like German words but they have entirely different meanings. I wish it wasn't like that... English would be a lot easier for me then lol |
| come to think of it, i've read a few chinese articles in the past that were translated into english. and i remember realizing that none of the technical terms were chinese (wording, not script of course). |
| uhm.... because they were.... translated? |
Rocket_Dive said: lol, but i would think that they needed to come up with a substitute. the thing about english is that it is a mix of a whole bunch of the Indo-European languages, which is why, grammatically, it can be such a pain to learn because it's so counterintuitive sometimes.uhm.... because they were.... translated? |
| yeah, it's definitely different than learning, say, spanish or french or italian... or I could just say latin. those languages make more sense grammatically but still....most people I know learned English far better than e.g. Spanish, even if they had 7 years worth of classes in that other language. hm, maybe has something to do with the fact that one can't really avoid English language nowadays in many parts of the world. Still...I wish there weren't so many "false friends" in the English language, making me believe they mean something entirely different from what they actually do ;D |
| false friends = cognates? |
olmecalmighty said: false friends = cognates? Cognates are words within two languages that look and have similar meanings. Like "Sister" and "Schwester". Both mean "sister". |

| no.....but wait.. cognates are words that have a similiar meaning, right? "False Friends" are: http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/words/false_friends.htm they sound similiar but the meaning is different |
KyuuA4 said: olmecalmighty said: false friends = cognates? Cognates are words within two languages that look and have similar meanings. Like "Sister" and "Schwester". Both mean "sister". hi kyuu xD ... I think Sister and Schwester are a bit too farfetched for that, aren't they? Try Vater and Father :D |
Rocket_Dive said: oh no you're right, i wasn't paying attention, i'm working on something right now. i thought i typed false cognates. o.Ono.....but wait.. cognates are words that have a similiar meaning, right?

Rocket_Dive said: no.....but wait.. cognates are words that have a similiar meaning, right? "False Friends" are: http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/words/false_friends.htm they sound similiar but the meaning is different Hmm... never heard of "false friends" before. However, similar sounds with different meanings. Yes, those are definitely false friends. "bald" is a very clear example - with German being "soon" and in English being a "lack of hair". "Cognates" are similar sounds and meanings. Such as "hound" and "hund" - both refer to dogs (more or less). |

| More false friends... "hi" or "high" in English... vs... "hai" in Japanese XD Then again, y'won't find many cognates within Japanese -- unless -- it happens to be a word borrowed in English... such as "beer" and "biru". XD In any case, I like that table of words. Yet, I'm disagreeing with some of the word entries. |

German language is gold.......... if anything needs some redefining, it's English xD I really think that German is one of the most beautiful languages... grammatic, sound... if used right lol and of course old German.... like Goethe *_______* |

As long as the basic concept this there... For example: Ich denke über meinem Fantasien. Ooo la la XD Rocket_Dive said: so you think knocking a girl up is hot... interesting....... most guys find that terrifying at first :D Well - it IS a job in of itself. Sadly, my cowardice is to the point of being scared of approaching women. However, kids - that's a very good idea to think about. At church, I tend to see a bunch - and - they're the happiest little buggers that I've seen. Also, I have nephews (ages 3 and 7). They're awesome kids. |
