Does anyone one know german? can you translate this sentence?:
Oh my god, my dog fell in the river. 
It sounds pretty awesome in German.

Oh mein Gott mein Hund ist in den Fluss gefallen

sounds like every other german sentence

[florestan9]

ouroboros

[alwaystheangel]

Oh mein Gott mein Hund ist in den Fluss gefallen

sounds like every other german sentence

Yeah, but when you say it quyickly in an angry voice, sounds like you're cursing up a storm, but then again, all the sentences in german said angrily sound like you're cursing up a storm.
I once told an english kid to say "allez foutrer un Cochon" to the french teacher, damn, that was funny...

[annoying_airhead]

What ARE you doing to the pig exactly?  Second thoughts... I don't really want to know.

idiosyncratic, phlegm, oyster and sleep - just to name a few.   =)

[alwaystheangel]

Go F(_)ck a pig, directly translated.  good times with that sentence...

phlegm is a good word, it looks so funny...

[annoying_airhead]

lol, I thought 'baise' was 'screw' - I guess not.  =)

[annoying_airhead]

I forgot to ask, how many people did you manage to get into trouble with that one =?

3 or 4, I can't believe that they trusted me or my friend who came up with the brilliant phrase.

My french immersion firends and I also managed to decipher "allez manger un chou sauvage" from a spanish song. (Go eat a wild cabage)  sounds kind of scary when you say it angrily.

[annoying_airhead]

Well, perhaps you are 'alwaystheangel' (which makes their trust misplaced abit)...

"allez manger un chou sauvage" - I'll have to say that tomy mum one day; she understands some french... though it might get me into trouble, she doesn't like cabbage so much.

lol, I thought 'baise' was 'screw' - I guess not.  =)

it is.... at A-level our french teacher was shocked when they printed it in the exam guide (in the oral exam people were getting 'baiser' (to screw/***/words to that effect) mixed up with 'baisser' (to fall/decrease). i would love to be a french examiner.. some sentences people must come up with 

as for my favourite word... umm.... i have too many... but dildo, clitoris and placenta have to be the best

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, a villiage in Wales, I believe, if you like long words I wonder how on earth you pronounce it, anyone here speak Welsh?

[henrah]

My Media Studies teacher can say it. I'll try and get it recorded.


As for my fav word, gotta be 'mmmm'. It can mean so many different things and can be said in so many different ways. Technically it's not a word, but it's still my fav.


Bed is a good one, and a great sounding one right now.... *yawns*

[mike_lang]

Kumquat's always been a favorite of mine.

[annoying_airhead]

Now what does that mean?

[annoying_airhead]

'would love to be a french examiner.. some sentences people must come up with'

I half agree with that - the upside; reading other peoples... well... mistakes? (Bet they're thinking of firing ther person who typed that paper up).  The downside; listening to people pronouncing words wrong and not being able to wince outloud.  =)

(I'd probably fail the 'oral exam' outright. =)

Lol, now that's cute.

Quite like this phrase;  'Ein psychotisches Pfred zu einem brennenden Stall reiten will.'

Something to do with a horse, galloping towards a burning barn... =)

Oh yeah - MY EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!! YAy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Mind you, I probably failed half of them, but never minding that.]

[henrah]

Try this.

Say dyslexia, then lysdexia, then dylsexia, then syldexia, then sydlexia. Then repeat dyslexia three times and hear how odd it sounds.

Well, works for me, great time waster

Logic is another funny one that sounds even more odd the more you say it.

How Americans say Vehicle, that's pretty funny

You mean the Ve*hic*cle?
I didn't realize people actually said it like that...  Wow, now I feel bad for mocking people... no ...not really, it's too much fun to make fun of people's accents.
How about Bostonian for water?  Woodahr

OshKosh B'Gosh and prestissisissisissimo

my least favorite word is "commence." it's a french word intentionally pronounced wrong.  how *** up is that?  I also hate "Volkswagon" and "Porcshe" because it pisses me off how no one in North America seems to be able to say them right.

[pianistimo]

nortti,

zdies - or 'here?'  like 'here' 

is this part of 'naszdrovia' - to your health?  is that 'here's' to your health?  just wondering.

it's odd that you can spell 'preposterous' but still have trouble with 'a lot.'

it's odd that you can spell 'preposterous' but still have trouble with 'a lot.'

Not actually, my english teachers always pounded that into my head that 'a lot' is not one word, i wasnt paying attention to see that i didnt put a space in between the 2.But thanks for noticing my small error ..hehehe

[nortti]

nortti,

Yes

is this part of 'naszdrovia' - to your health?  is that 'here's' to your health?  just wondering.

I have no idea. Я очень плохо знаю русский язык.

getting out my 'russian in 10 minutes a day' book.  this is painful.

(yah) I   ... eat pierogi three times a day?

(yah) I   very  (ploh hah) bad ... (znah yoo) know Russian language.

[pianowolfi]

"strange" "weird" and "scary"  i think because my younger students use these words very often to describe how pieces sound to them when they're not yet familiar with them. Somehow i like these words now. Strange....
