[eldhy]

a little enlightenment here:D
can we choose a nice topic to talk to?
coz i'm forget what i want 2 talk about hehehehe

[sakuraba aoi]

Let's talk about... Hmm...
How about ourselfs. You know, like where you live, what you do, your family. Things like that....
Let's start with me. I live in Jakarta, I'm a law student of Tarumanagara University. I live with my grandparents. I'm an Aquarian. My hobby is reading, especially history and gossip.
Well... how about you guys?

[m1sst1qu3]

The rules is "Talk in English, please". But we have no specific topic to talk.. So, miss moderator, do you have an interesting topic? Btw, IMO we can try to reply all the message/topics in english in all KG forums, not only on this thread ;)

I lived with my parents, currently,I were a highschool student in one of an international school in south jakarta.

My hobby are surfing the internet and swimming!

I was thinking that i might have a very good in vocabulary, but i'm lack of grammar, could you please recommend what kind of exercise in building grammar?

thanks

[meae]

Hello everyone!! Waaaw.. feels good to be back!! Well, to build your grammar skills, what you have to do is learn all the 'regulations' or 'rules'. The next step after would be to practice your use of the English language with the people around you.. well, it would be very wise if you choose to talk with the people that might possibly know more than you. That way, those people would be able to correct you in your sentences. But don't forget that language for speaking and writing are 2 different things! So,, being able to talk does not necessarily mean that you are able to write.

Okay, talk about ourselves, hein?! Hm, well, I'm a highschool student in my last year, still searching my way in learning french! That's my priority right now.. I'll leave it at that for the moment!

[kyuniarti]

I live by myself because my father stays at another house and my mom is not in Indonesia.
I graduated already from one of the university outside Indonesia
I like to hang out with my very best friends
Well...what else?
Ehm... I like to read, sport; I am thinking to take a private lesson in tennis, movie, browsing, and play neopets.
Music too...:) ::bentar::

[morningdew]

Is it too late to join?

mmmm...
i wanna be a backpacker next year..wanna see something more than here:D actually im going to bromo next holiday, have u go there? if yes...tell me more about it.::bye::

[arya199]

Hi all.. i had used to write down anything in English, as some of you may already noticed that most of my posts in [KG] were mostly written in English. Aside from school, which is a rarity for me to paying attention to, i had never taken any formal English education. Books and movies are my teachers. Therefore, generally i spoke and wrote English solely based on my intuition which oftenly brought me to a grammar-havoc even though that i could say that i had more vocabulary than most of people my age that i know of (not that i had loads of friend though :) ). Well, all i could say that i'm still learning English especially to correct my Grammars and my first step i guess, by taking TOEFL test, which most people said that you're definitely going to fail on TOEFL if your English only based on so-called intuition.

About me, hmm.. all i could say that i also had a backpack-trip plans sometime this December with destinations abbreviated as 3B (Borobudur, Bromo, Bali). The three of us (me and my friends) had jotted the departure-month but not yet the date as we dont want to ruin our backpacker-trip with supposedly-unnecessary details. Afterall, what would backpacker means if you know every details of the trip you'd had?.

wondering where we're going ...

[eldhy]

hi...
y did everybody so easy come easy go....

i wanna know what these exactly mean:
kissing a fool & hail to the thief

thanx b4....::angel::

[new flair]

kissing a fool (dulu george michael)
george selalu menganggap dirinya looser. hampir semua lagu george michael emang rada begitu mulai dari "i can't make u love me", "where di your hearts go", "one more try"... jadi dia menganggap dirinya seorang "fool" setelah Cathy Yeung (cewe george) putus ama dia cuman karena cathy terlalu denger banyak omongan orang yang khawatir hubungannya dengan george...


hail to the thief ... entar aku tanya ama thom yorke dulu ...


::bye::

[eldhy]

jadi kissing a fool tuh just loser:o

ok i've been waiting u 4 hail to the thief...
thanx bro'::bye::

[eldhy]

hi, actually sentence of hail to the..... isn't only used for thief, but i found already for lies ( hail to the lies ) and there's a lotsa sentences use hail to the.... outhere.

so..the question is what the meaning of hail to the....
coz not only for thief

thanx before!:)

[arya199]

This would be the first entry to this thread after idling for about 13 days.

I've been very exhausted for this whole week, i get to sleep for barely five hours a day. And yet nothing, not a single-good-reasonable-significant thing i have achieved. I'm not sure what has gone wrong. I wasn't like this when i was two-three years younger than my current age. *sigh*

[eldhy]

keep patient and try somethin' crazy;p

try to use sleeping pills everyday for sure......

[arya199]

I dont want to take any pills whatsoever, i jez dont wanna get addicted to those stuff. By means that i had done nothing for this week was i hadn't played any games, i hadn't watch any movies, i hadn't read any book, i just simply dozed-off with nothing to do..

forget all of ur problems and WAKE UP :)

[arya199]

If i simply able to forget all the problems i had, then i'd forget about it. But, these problems i had are ones that needed to be solved. If i'd forget about it, then eventually it will come up again in an even more monstrous way.

But however, nowadays, i had taken some different prespective on how i saw the problem (one of my problems actually), and lo! i had seen a light. Though faint it was, but then it was as enough as a drop of water to a lost wanderer in a desert.

I may and will stumbled upon my feet, falls head over heels in order to chase the light. But one wouldn't know the result of his doing before he actually done it. So then, i would follow the light and slightly crossed my finger in hope that it would bring me happiness instead of sorrow.

*mind my English, i am a learner also :D *

i got so pissed off today!!!

i hate today!!!

[LeLuna]

Hi, Ima novice here ::hhh:: nice 2 know y'all (Not a very good openink, but what the hell... [lol])

[Kyoko]

ok.. let me start something...

the first time i studied english, i thought "should" the "L" is not silent. I actually say the L. turned out that its silent.

beh..

and again.. i actually use the word "tomb" to my white friends, and their like,... ooh.. u mean "tomb" (indo-nya: tum, bukan tom)

anyways.. thats my embarassing moments.
glad that my friends always correct me and not somewhat make fun of me.

[LeLuna]

like the word combs. Not the word we use like in the sentence, "I comb my hair." it's the word for the meaning of a long tunnel or some sorts like that. Glad that I heard that word in a cartoon movie i watched, so I didn't pronounce it in a wrong way... hee hee...

[new flair]

why do i always have this cookie error ...
darn ... i hate it ...
it seems that this error has made up its mind to haunt me all the time ...

::bye::

[eldhy]

what's this mean:
bewitched, bothered and bewilder?

lagunya rod stewart niih, penasaran:D

[Kyoko]

google is an excellent dictionary

in the search box, type in "define:bewilder"

of course.. u can change the word "bewilder" with otherones that you're interested in.

i used to use dictionary.com, but.. i like google much better. (preference)

[muttly]

bewitched-- dikutukkan

bewildered- bingung

bothered- repot atau diganggu

[eldhy]

thank u, sista:)

[LeLuna]

Huahm... need some extra sleep... ::sleep2::

Today, I'm so tired. And I'm hatin' it! :o

[eldhy]

so what we gonna talk now?;)

[Kyoko]

i did started something.. i guess noone really cares to continue it

ok.. how bout this

i think.. javanese, not from jakarta, you know.. the accent that they have...

when they speak in english.. they always have their accent with them.

hahahaha.. its too funny sometimes hearing it

[eldhy]

yeah, same problem with india's society....accent
;)

[Kyoko]

apu is considered the most famous cartoon in history :D

[LeLuna]

I have a story about this. I have a friend, he's from east Java. He's new when I was in the second grade. Well, he came in to my class in the english lesson.

My teacher asked him to introduce him self. Bad for him, cuz he has some trouble in speaking 'F' and 'S'. Instead of speaking F, he speaks 'P'. Also in 'S', he speaks 'SH'.

So, this is so far i could remember. He said his name, age... and elses. Then my teacher gave an applause, which was not necessary :D

Then my friend said,

"Mam, where's my shit?"

"Pardon me?" ::ngakak::

It's so funny!! I guess he meant SEAT. But he pronounced it as 'SHIT' to me... [lol]

[beliez_sic]

he's a real Sundanese, I guess? :D

[ramox]

Most pleasant to the most annoying to the ears:

1. British English
2. American English
3. Irish English
4. Scots English
5. Australian English
6. SingLish

British Aristocratic English sounds real nice to the ears. They sound real cultured. There are other different British English whose accents don't sound as nice to the ear as this Aristocratic English. What I'm referring to "Aristocratic" is what you hear when Prince Edward, Charles, and others speak.

The Irish and Scots sound cool.
American English sounds normal and plain.
Australians make up their own incomprehensible words.
Singlish, sorry but that's the most annoying kind of English.

Let the flamings begin.

[eldhy]

any stories please

[new flair]

i've left all those accent stuffs behind ... not a single javanese, nor sundanese ...

Greetings, I'm new here.
May I join? What are you guys talking about right now?

[beliez_sic]

Hiii...Hyrulian..(what should I call you?)
I'm a newbie too :D
welcome to the thread :)

we're talking about "accent"

ok..see ya ::bye::

[Link]

Call me Link,
Accent? A certain way of speaking, mainly due to intonation. In this case must be an english accent. I personally love how the brits speak. So elegant.. hehe. I happen to work in a Singapore based company and the people I report to (in Sing) speak English with a chinese accent. I've been having problems understanding them, so I stick to e-mails.

[ramox]

Singaporeans are known to make up their own grammars too. One usually says, can you turn off the lights? I had a sporean friend who used to say, can you off it? I was like "huh".

[Link]

Yup, that kinda made up grammar is famously known as singlish.

[eldhy]

my friend stayed in s'pore for 6 month, last year....
and now she's speak english with s'pore accent (singlish)....!

[ramox]

Here is something more screwy. My friend grew up in the States, went back to work in Indo. Lost the American accent & got very thick Singlish cause that's what's mostly spoken at his work place.

[beliez_sic]

maybe there was a lot of Singaporeans at his office ;D

[hansamu77]

More screwy..,I knew english since elementary school.But until now i think tambah ancurr aja.. some time I mixed some word with japanesse.

[ramox]

sorry "screwy" was just tongue in cheek...it's not even a word...so for those people learning the language don't take it too literally.

[eldhy]

i've study japanesse for 'bout 2 years..but what's the result?
totally ancurrr!!

gila tuh bahasa....::sebel::

[LeLuna]

Me also. Sumtimes, my friends from UK, call me, and I was like,

"Nani o deska???" ::hhh::

They were like... TOTALLY missed out!!

"What are you talking about?"

What the hell... And by the way, I can still speak in my british accent when the pepz around me speakin it. But, with a screwed grammar... ^^;

I guess my grammar is worsin since I stayed in Indo and speak less Enggy ::bentar2: Itz really bad... ::nangis::

[mrcerdas]

Australian grammars when I lived in Aussie:

*) Likes to add 'y' to EVERYTHING. :)
"I just did some stupid thingy"
"Hey, put down ur baggy, mate, it's so heavy."
"Hi, Dany, how r u?" (Huh, suddenly my friend Dane has changed name to Dany. :D )

*) Killer = cool, awesome.
"U are a killer, mate." = U are very cool ;)
"I wanna write a killer application." = I want to write a good computer program ;p

*) Keep pronouncing 'shares' as 'chess'. Esp old people.
Dane: "I own gold shares" (pronounced as chess)
Bob: "Huh, what is gold chess for?"
Dane: "I can sell the shares (pronounced as chess) sometimes in the rainy day."
Bob: "That's good idea, selling gold chess during rainy days." ;D

N be careful, Australians can speak thru their nose. :D

[LeLuna]

Nd I lovee itt!!!! :X:X

I love the thing 'y' after every word!!!! Love it sooo much!! Sounds so... funnY!! hahaha... :D

[pipomon]

me dont really liky aussie englishy.

my point is I dont really like using 'y' on the last word its kindy confusingy dont you thingy. :D

Hello,

I want to share this lousy day with u guys. First of all, the flood!
Oh my gosh? Do we really have to face this stinking problem on a regular basis now? Hey come on Sutiyoso! Don't waste our precious tax money on some stupid projects like "THE BUSWAY" man. Handle this flood thing first! Does this have to be an Annual event now? ::sebel::

This morning, it took me over 3 hours to get to my office in Thamrin. It really frustated me a lot!

Care to share your day as well?

[mrcerdas]

I guess I m better off.

I stay at home today. Flooding can be blessing in disguise, eh? ;D

[Link]

What do you mean "blessing in disguise ?" Obviously flood is a disaster :o

[mrcerdas]

For me, it's blessing in disguise.

Kan ngak usah kerja. ;D Dan hemat duit, soalnya sehari penuh di rumah, makan di rumah, ngak jalan. :D:D:D

[Link]

Perhaps you don't take your job seriously. For me not being able to come to work on a regular basis would jeopardize the going concern of my company.

[mrcerdas]

Well, that's your business then. :D

I am not being lazy or something like that. I just see the other side of flood. See, sometimes a disaster can be a blessing. ;D

[mint]

Hi Dr. Strange, by the way you write in Melayu, I suspect you are either Malaysian or Singaporean am I right?

[doctor strange]

Hi Hyrulian, I get around. I'm working in agriculture, and my job takes me places. I live in Colorado, USA.

I've just started learning Bahasa Indonesia because I'd like to try something different. Maybe some day my job could take me to Indonesia.

[Link]

whooa.. USA 8O
how could you join this indonesian forum? got an acquaintance here?

soo.. agriculture eh? i assume that you don't work directly on the field (farmer) but more on the research right?

re bahasa, it's the easiest around. you'll master it in no time.

what kind of differences do u expect by learning Bahasa Indonesia?
I think, Indonesia is not very good in agriculture.
Anyway, I don't work in this field ;D ;D ...so probably I am wrong.

[doctor strange]

Indonesia has better soil than America. Volcanic soil is the best soil for growing food. Indonesia has plenty of water too, and is never too cold... besides the tropical climate... which I like.
;)

...also, no Texas president in Indonesia!
:D

[mrcerdas]

yuhu .... no cowboy here. :D:D:D

Plus, Indonesia girls are pretty. Maybe one day u get a beautiful indon bride, who knows. ;)

Yea, half way round the world. The world is getting smaller. I wanted to find people to speak with. I search google.com for "Bahasa" and KG forum comes up - and I joined.

I do soil survey - mapping, describing soils for publications, much like research.

About pretty Indon brides:
::setuju::

Ahh, but my wife says no.
::takmungkin::

She lets me talk. Talking is good. I can do that.

Is Colorado in Texas? my geography is not too good.
So you don't like your prez eh? why don't you impeach him? Clinton was impeached for lesser action than Bush right?

[ramox]

You can't just impeach a US president simply because you don't like him. You have to screw up big time to be impeached. There were only 2 cases in the US history of impeachment.

Colorado is not in Texas. Colorado and Texas are both States.

[Link]

Ha! and unnecessary war isn't a good enough reason for impeachment? get real dude!

[ramox]

1. I'm simply making a fact about how hard it is to impeach a US president. The Constitution made it so. Guess what, that is REAL.
2. If u want to politicize this whole thing go ahead.
3. "Unnecessary war" is an opinion and opinion is not a ground for impeachment. Breaking the law is ground for impeachment, even for "lesser action" i.e. lying under oath like Clinton. US laws deal with facts not opinions.
4. I'm not not arguing about the necessity of war either.
5. Last and not least, you should Chill out, DUDE! This is a place for fun. My first reply was not to flame u but to just bring out a simple statement of how hard it is to impeach a pres.

[Kyoko]

yes.. unnecessary war is only for people who Think Bush is doing so. - its a form of an opinion as what ramox said.

so.. let there be war.

even in the US.. there are Pro/Con war.

Pro.. cuz they got hurt by the twin tower attack. US is Pissed... u think a country like US president will stand there and do nothing while the people are pissed off?

or the president should calm things down, and let his people lose confidence in him while getting terrorist attacks from other countries?

if so.. do u think any countries will help the US from getting more attacks? - i personally don't think so.

the way to hurt the US, not by war, but by economy.. trust me.
US has one of the best army in the whole world, which i think Britain got the best people.. while US got the best equipments.

btw, both are allies.


its not an easy decision... war has its good and bad.

philosophically... war is good.. and bad.
it kills people, obviously, but it makes us value life more.. and by war.. there is a sense of togetherness in hardships.

of course... US is the largest supplier of war equipments. tanks, ships, planes, etc..
i must say.. not the best sometimes... but US got different selections. and who buys them? people who want to get into war.

and war.. does good to both parties.. one can kill, US can have the money.

creating a war over the US, only make the goverment to sell more arms.

shook down the economy.. just by a bit.. not much really.

ok.. i can write all day long.. but i'm at work...
anyways.. those are just my opinions

[prwijono]

Let's just hope and pray that the new US president will be better than before.

I think Bush is not totally wrong. Making a war against those bad people is a duty.
There must be a killing, as the effect of the war. Everybody should take this risk.

I only see the main purpose of this war, which will make a better living for all of us.

[-Padme-]

I simply cant imagine why people these days really like to fought each other and war... all of them especially Bush and the gang certainly nuts and crazy.it was like a f*****g criminality to do a war and its a stupid things I say. nonsense and wasting time. why cant Bush do something more useful like donate money to the orphans and to poor people. it seems that peace is no longer need in this world ::fu::

[doctor strange]

I hope the next one is better too, prwijono. It seems as if the president had a personal fight with Saddam - so many questions about how and why Iraq - why coalition and not UN.

There is investigation and talk of impeachment - this moves slowly.

[Kyoko]

btw.. bush did donate food and health supplies to iraq. and they're still supplying them

but.. for some brownie points, US got lots of IRAQis that won't even go back to iraq.

of course.. the ones that are in the news.. are the ones that want to go back.

more iraqis love the US lifestyle
trust me.. i have mid easterners as friends also

ya.. seems there should be a better strategy to deal w/ this matter.

but if I Were the president.. i don't think i could come up with any other idea really.

easy to comment than to do

btw...
talk of impeachment.. where did u hear that from?

[doctor strange]

Kyoko, here is a few sites for you if you care to read more.

http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/article_784.shtml

http://www.votetoimpeach.org/

http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/003/781ywdsl.asp

My guess - impeachment talks will become more serious if the president wins reelection this November, and if more Democrats are elected to the House of Representives. As it stands there are not enough Democrats to make a successful move to impeach.

[Kyoko]

its only talk... nothing of a big issue.
thx for the link btw

5. Last and not least, you should Chill out, DUDE! This is a place for fun. My first reply was not to flame u but to just bring out a simple statement of how hard it is to impeach a pres.

i don't take your first reply as "flame". I simply thought that "unnecessary war" that Bush did is far a greater reason for impeachment than Clinton's case w/ Lewinsky. It was only my opinion.

Truthfully i know very little about the presidential law in the states, so again, it was only MY opinion, not based on my knowledge of the law itself.

lastly, I am chillin' Dude! :D Sorry if you thought my earlier post as "flame".. you didn't see angry emoticons on it did ya? that's because I wasn't angry or anything..

ok Bro, nice talkin' to you. you certainly are fluent in English..

again, many people in the world think that Bush shouldn't be the prez anymore.. what do you think ramox?

[ramox]

...everything is cool, get the peace pipe out. ;p

HL, to tell u the truth, I don't know. I don't like politics, I think it sucks. I've had this passive belief that we the little people are just going along for the ride. The people on top are the drivers and we can't make them change their directions.

[Link]

yah, politics suck big time, let's talk about something else shall we? btw ramox, you are a dude right?

[ramox]

Yeap...me = dude.

[prwijono]

hehe .....ok change topic pls.

Since ramox is dude ...so ....shall we talk about chicks? :D

[Link]

chick talks are mostly done in "Boys Talk"
anyway what do you want to share about chicks? :D

[doctor strange]

A chick is a baby chicken.

Don't know why it is also a pretty young girl. (?)

Maybe someone didn't know the difference?:D

[mrcerdas]

chick - young lady
chicken - old mummy


sounds right? ::ngakak::

chicken = baby rooster/hen

it means that all fast food restaurants use baby rooster/hen for their menus ??? ::bingung::

chick = pretty young girls (slang language)
babe = hot girls, usually associated with big boobs :D
boobs = girl's / women's breast (slang)

dudes = guys = best friends - male (slang)

gung ho or gung-ho

adj. Slang
Extremely enthusiastic and dedicated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Earlier Gung Ho, motto of certain U.S. Marine forces in Asia during World War II, from Chinese (Mandarin) gnghé, to work together (short for gngyèhézuòshè, Chinese Industrial Cooperative Society) : gng, work + hé, together.]
Our Living Language Most of us are not aware of it today, but the word gung ho has been in English only since 1942 and is one of the many words that entered the language as a result of World War II. It comes from Mandarin Chinese gnghé, “to work together,” which was used as a motto by the Chinese Industrial Cooperative Society. Lieutenant Colonel Evans F. Carlson (1896-1947) borrowed the motto as a moniker for meetings in which problems were discussed and worked out; the motto caught on among his Marines (the famous “Carlson's Raiders”), who began calling themselves the “Gung Ho Battalion.” From there eager individuals began to be referred to as gung ho. Other words and expressions that entered English during World War II include flak, gizmo, task force, black market, and hit the sack.

If you play Heroes Might And Magic, you will find out that angels there are described as male instead of female.

I love women :)

Your dad is right
BiNus is more popular for its IT
It has ten-thousands students right now :o

Some rumours has spreaded
Some said that we would be moved to Tangerang
Others said to JWC (Joseph Wibowo Center)

Another crazier version even said that BiNus was paying millions rupiahs to the "real" owner every day so that we can still use the building :D

[LeLuna]

Yeah I heard that one!! ;0
Is that true??
Wouldn't it'll be a big suffer for BiNus?? ::bingung::

I am just an ordinary BiNus student who knows nothing about what happens inside BiNus :D

[Link]

ck..ck.. such a pity.
well, i hope everything would turn out ok for Binus and its students. it'd be a crying shame to relocate those student to Tangerang 8O

[LeLuna]

And why would it? ::bingung:: Wouldn't that be good? Since I remember UPH at there, so they can compete more competitively... ;D;D

Hehe... ::hhh::

[nospacebar]

How about the students?
Do we all have to move there and find new places to stay or keep staying here and go back Jakarta-Tangerang every time we have classes? ::toeng::

[Link]

yup.. one of the main reason of picking a university is the location. it should be near your home, not too far away 'cause u need to go there on a daily basis. relocating the university to tangerang wouldn't be a great idea and would surely be rejected by most of the students there.

[LeLuna]

It's a good reason 2 do d exercise!! Jogging from Jakarta 2 tanggerang... :D:D every mornin.... ::hhh::
For sure you'll have owen's leg less than a month... ::ngakak::

[nospacebar]

I think I would sit on a wheel chair in less than a month instead of having Owen's legs if I followed your suggestion :D

But that might be a good idea. I mean, I have never, actually only once or twice, done any sport or exercise since I move here

I spend most of my time in front of my beloved computer :D

[robyn86]

I love Lord of the Rings too! I've read all the books and the movies are pretty good at staying true to them, although, in the 2nd one the Ents are Hasty! And they cut out Tom Bombadil:( . He was cool.

About this chubby chicks thing.... what exactly is the debate about? Is it about whether being chubby can be attractive or healthy? If it is, some guys in Oz reckon that what they call 'girl flub' is the sexiest thing on girls.

I think Bush is not totally wrong. Making a war against those bad people is a duty.
There must be a killing, as the effect of the war. Everybody should take this risk.

I only see the main purpose of this war, which will make a better living for all of us.

Sorry to bring this up again guys, but I just want to tell you a couple of things from an Aussie perspective.
Ok, about the 'bad people'. I assume you mean Saddam hussein or the terrorists.
With the terrorists, the western media, and governments portray all Islamic people in overseas countries as being terrorists. Even Indonesians. I don't believe this so dont attack me about it, but for Bush, Indonesian Islamic people are the 'bad people'.
Also, the situation in Iraq- the only good thing that came out of that war was the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime from power. But that would have happened by itself anyway as soon as he died, as even his closest supporters did not like the things he did to his people. The war in Iraq has probably created more terrorists, and I know that Australia is now a much more important attack point for Alquaida since its involvement in the war.
If this war was necessary, whcih I doubt, Bush should have gone through the UN security council and only acted after they passed a resolution authorising it.
Thank you for letting me have this rant.

BTW, I know that the overwhelming majority of muslims are peaceful and do not support terrorism.

Btw, what is a 'flub'?

[robyn86]

Sorry, I meant flab- as in flabby, just like parts of girls bodies which are a bit chubby- like their hips and stuff.

so robyn, your majors are law and int'l studies right? do u like law related movies/tv series? like for an example, do u like the practice?

[robyn86]

The practice isn't on in Australia anymore- I didn't watch it much, only occasionally, but its ok. I like law and order and watch that sometimes, but they are all from America and the legal system in Australia is very different. In Australia the closest you come to a legal show is Blue Heelers and Whitecollar Blue (police shows)!

[LeLuna]

What about Ally McBeal? ::hhh::
[ignoreme] Ignore me. I just love that show... ^^;

Congo word 'most untranslatable'
By Oliver Conway
BBC News
Last Updated: Tuesday, 22 June, 2004, 21:19 GMT 22:19 UK


The world's most difficult word to translate has been identified as "ilunga" from the Tshiluba language spoken in south-eastern DR Congo.
It came top of a list drawn up in consultation with 1,000 linguists.

Ilunga means "a person who is ready to forgive any abuse for the first time, to tolerate it a second time, but never a third time".

It seems straightforward enough, but the 1,000 language experts identified it as the hardest word to translate.


In second place was shlimazl which is Yiddish for "a chronically unlucky person".

Third was Naa, used in the Kansai area of Japan to emphasise statements or agree with someone.

Although the definitions seem fairly precise, the problem is trying to convey the local references associated with such words, says Jurga Zilinskiene, head of Today Translations, which carried out the survey.

"Probably you can have a look at the dictionary and... find the meaning," she said. "But most importantly it's about cultural experiences and... cultural emphasis on words."

The speed at which simultaneous interpreters work only adds to the difficulty of trying to explain words with complex meanings.

And technical jargon, often found in politics, business or sport, has difficulties of its own.

Miss Zilinskiene's own bete noir is "googly", a cricketing term for "an off-breaking ball disguised by the bowler with an apparent leg-break action".

But then many people find cricket incomprehensible anyway. Naa.

i was just trying to bump this seemingly forgotten thread :D
nice post re most difficult words to translate though.

anyway the other day i was watching a spelling contest on cable vision (forgot the channel). i was kinda awed seeing those elementary children trying to pronounce difficult words..

did any of you see the show?

[Kyoko]

umm.. what channel is that?

i live in the US btw :D

ya.. kids really Are scary and somewhat amusing :D...

really show how dumb we are sometimes. :D

[Link]

ic.. how's uncle sam doing?

[Kyoko]

ok i guess....
everytime i hear "uncle sam" i hear money.

"uncle sam is taking big paycheck?"
mostly talking about taxes

beside that.. umm..
i believe you're reffering "uncle sam" as the whole US?

umm... well.. so far.. i'm only thinking about my self truthfully.... getting my work done, life, better salary, etc

--

how u doin?

[Link]

i'm fine. thanks for asking.
btw where do u live? what do you do there?

[Kyoko]

live in SoCal (southern california) i work as a graphic designer (who doesn't?!? :D) and... looking for a new work place for now, got some lil jobs.. not getting paid enough :(

but... just waiting for that larger project / workplace...
hopefully i can achieve it before this year ends

[Link]

but you are indonesian right? or originally from us?

[LeLuna]

It's a good one, Kyoko ;)

Anyway, I've been always wonderin bout your name, don't you reckon that kyoko is a vmale?::bingung::

[Kyoko]

born and raise (till 13 years old) in indonesia, and went school over in the US till now since.

and i have to admit... some people in kafegaul are very knowledgable in typing / thinking in english. kudos to you guys / girls.

ya..

well.. let me tell a weird thing about me.
i'm a guy, but using a girl as my "role-playing"-anything, is already just me.

started in SF2 , i've always used chun-li as my main char - yes she suck.. but.. i like her.

bare knuckle.. a sega game... i used the chick,..

in any games.. i always use the girl. I'm not sure why, but... i always use the girl.

and.. i arrived on the internet, and.. always.. ALWAYS... using a girl nickname...

michiru, haruka, kyoko, maiko, etc...

michiru@yahoo - thats mine, registered in 1996..

haruka... is on my other email, kyoko has always been my forum nickname .. EVERYWHERE! (except if someone took it already)

mmm.. anyways.. thats lil thing bout me.

internet... u can be anything you want

power of anonimity

[Link]

chunli doesn't suck.. sakura does! ;p
i like using girl's name too, as an example my e-mail is love_arwen@yahoo.com

i'm a big fan of Liv Tyler, She can do no wrong..::keyen::

[Kyoko]

chunli sucks in SF2.. what u smokin?!? :D

in sf-zero. .chunli kicks ass..and other ones... just except SF2

shoryuken is too dominating.

liv tyler is coo.

[Link]

Btw, yer siggy... England's prior nightmare with penalties continued as Beckham for the second time missed a penalty for England.
I like that sounds... :D
I h8 Beckham since hez out from MU... which cuzed such a bad condition... pretty good there're still RvN, CR~#7, still Roy Keane... Scholes... ::hhh:: all of em..

[Kyoko]

MU's biggest, most stupid, most retarded move was selling becks to real madrid (pretty cheaply too btw). CR7 is still very young and no way he could fill beck's position right away.
look at RvN.. he pretty much sucked during 2003-2004 season w/o beck's famous crosses.

btw BB17 = Buka Bukaan 17 tahun.
I didn't know this is the same Kyoko ;p

[LeLuna]

I thought it was Beck's own decission 2 move? I was wrong then... {:

I knoe2... But RvN is the greatest Striker MU has ever had since I watch EPL... ::hhh::

Ic... Buka2an 17thn: The porn thingi? ::bingung:: My cousin recently visit it... ::hhh::

yes partly it was beck's decision but MU didn't put much of a fight, considering their manager Alex Ferguson and Becks had personal problems towards each other. If it were up to me I'd kick Fergie out and keep Becks.

Well Luna, you must have watched EPL only recently to hold RvN in such great image. IMHO MU's greatest striker is still Eric Cantona. ::keyen::

I think selling Beckham is the right thing to do!

He's got a bad influence for the younger lads in MU and Fergie realized this and imidiately sold him. I think beck's forgot that his main job is a footballer not an artist.......

Although I admit our performance is not quite good last season....
But I'm quite sure that next season we will beat chelsea's and arsenal's asses......

Glory Glory Man United!

hehe, a man u fans aren't you?
many football analysts already stated that the main 2 reasons why MU failed last season were the absence of Rio and Becks.
Rio's absence proved very costly seeing how Man U's defense so easily rattled even when playing against non powerful teams, whilst Becks' absence made the formerly prolific RvN to be the barren RvN ;p

The reason fergie let becks out wasn't all about him being an artist or having bad influence and all but more because of their personal disagreement. Remember the incident with the flying shoe to beckham's upper eye area? :D

[AlphaOmega]

yes, I recalled that incident, but the manager have to show, who's the boss.....and Fergie has clearly stated that he's the boss by selling Becks.....

I agree that United's disappointing performance is because Rio's absence, and beckham departure is also affecting our performance but Rio is the main problem not becks.....

Beck's has lost his star player status since he left United and we've found a new one in Cristiano.....

Yes, I admit that I miss his crosses and free kicks but the show must go on.....

I was happy hearing robben is going to old trafford but in the end he turned our back for chelsea......I was hoping we can buy another winger as a backup for giggs and ronaldo......

I'm quite sure that United will kick arsenal ass and will take the cup back to Manchester where it should be belong.....

okay2.. no point debating w/ a hardcore fans as u obviously are ;p
let's just see next season. If I'm not mistaken the first MU match will be against Chelsea! Now that's a show worth waiting for.
Anyway next season the EPL would be very tight. ManU and Arsie would face major competition with the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool. The latters both just recruited new high profile coaches, Mourinho and Rafa Benitez respectively.
Don't expect MU to regain the title so easily.

Btw, is robben really going to manu? i thought he already signed with Chelsea ::bingung::

[AlphaOmega]

yes, he turned his back to chelsea.....

hehehe....I think we'll have a hell of a season....
