DarthTofu Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 My natal language is the hungarian, and since i live in Romania, i speak romanian too Is there a big difference betwenn the hungarian and the romanian language? Oh, my goodness, yes. Romanian is probably the closest living language to Latin, but with curious Slavic influences. Hungarian developed from an entirely different language group from other Indo-European languages, and isn't spoken anywhere else except Hungarian communities. I find them both fascinating, but Romanian stays with me better. --Jonah Ah, jeez, I can never understand how people can speak inflictive languages; maybe it's because I'm so used to inflictive English, but it takes me a good minute or two to process anything someone says in Latin and to rearrange the words in my head to make sense. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrinus Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Yeah. And linear languages in general break down in the face of languages like Japanese. The entire structure of the sentence pretty much as to be worked out before you start, lest you use the wrong modifier with th enoun before you get to the verb... It's holographic, rather than linear, and that can trip early learners up something awful. --Jonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonius Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 My natal language is the hungarian, and since i live in Romania, i speak romanian too Is there a big difference betwenn the hungarian and the romanian language? Oh, my goodness, yes. Romanian is probably the closest living language to Latin, but with curious Slavic influences. Hungarian developed from an entirely different language group from other Indo-European languages, and isn't spoken anywhere else except Hungarian communities. I find them both fascinating, but Romanian stays with me better. --Jonah Yes, the romanian is a descendant of the latin language.The hungarian is absolutelly different, it is not an indoeuropean language, is a finno-ugric and ural-altaic language.Our language is agglutinant, the indoeuropeans not. (agglutinant is the turkish, japanese and the finno-ugric languages)Our language is progressive, the indoeuropeans are regressive. Still it is not decided what is our language ? Since have some similarity with the finnish, but have with the turkish too, and we have common words with the sumerian too (and of the 53 characteristics of the sumerian language, 51 can be found in our language. when compare the sumerian-turkish the turkish have 29 characteristics out of 53).There are many theories. One italian professor, Mario Alinei think that the etruscans were the proto hungarians. Etc,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthTofu Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Nope. I haven't the foggiest. Is it supposed to be Latin? "Res" would be "matter," but I've never heard the words "luk" or "ra'auf." I don't even know if there are apostrophes in Latin, to be honest. The primary reason I'm at the top of my class in Latin II is because the bottom of my class is retarded. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rob Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 I was pretty sure I had posted that phrase on here previously, and Tofu had known right off the bat what it was. Anywho, it is Trandoshan, taken from something that Bossk utters when onboard the Executer in ESB. I could not find the translation, but while searching for it I stumbled across this interesting site. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side!

SOCL Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I guess I only technically speak two languages, but I can understand and read Latin (if not speak it by the end of the summer) and Portuguese, as well as some limited French and Italian. I figure all those partials add up to a third language, so I polled as 3.

DarthTofu Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Oh, it must be a new month. SOCL is back again. Hehehe- I forgot you'd been so absent from the forums since I was talking to you on Facebook, ya crazy bugger. As I've said before, I speak American English and a very very little bit of Spanish, and then a tad more of Latin. The only Italian words I remember are: Prego (Thank you), Ciao (Hello/goodbye), Focacia (freaking amazing bread), Pizza (... Yeah), Firenze (Florence), proscutto (sp? ham), and gillato (tasty-mass ice cream). 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOCL Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Oh, it must be a new month. SOCL is back again. I'm on my single-day-long midterm break.

Mad78 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Sorry to "BEAK" you a bit about that, but "prego" means "please". "Grazie" means "thank you". In fact "please" is "per favore"."Prego" is more the equivalent of "no problem" or "my pleasure".EX: A man in a cafe has just been bought two coffees by a waiter.Man: Grazie. - Thank youWaiter: Prego - My pleasure. Actually that is a bad example since prego is rather informal. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 "Una grande caraffa vino di bianco, prego." That´s what my teacher told me to say to the waiter to order us another bottle of whine, back when we were staying in Italy. So I think it´s also used like "one bottle of white whine, please".

Guest Scathane Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 ...Latin (if not speak it by the end of the summer)... How interesting... seeing that Latin is a dead language... Oh, it must be a new month. SOCL is back again. Guess who's back as well? Isn't this just your month... edit: It would be Dutch, English, German and French for me...
