  • Cumhuriyeti (that I suppose means republic) it is one of the rare Turkish words I know that can be similar to Italian.... We have comunità that means community and theyhave the same origin.... The began all with the latin cum

    It's possible, you just have to believe in yourself and really not care what other people say, because I've heard it all.
    If you let someone else dictate what you're going to do in life, then you won't get there.


    Non so neanche come onestamente: in due mesi ero di nuovo in campo.

  • Thank u yıldızlı bir gece :flower: :lol:


  • @ Joana : Wow, How come are you able to speak Norwegian? :D :lol:

    Sannsynligvis fordi jeg er litt gal :lol: Jeg har alltid vært interessert i Norge, av en eller annen grun, og så for noen år siden bestemte jeg meg for å lære språket, så jeg fikk masse lærebøker, CD-er og sånn, og jeg begynte. Det har vært vanskelig, men nå klarer jeg meg... Nå kan jeg lese uten problemer og jeg forstår veldig mye. Men jeg har ikke snakket norsk så ofte, så jeg er litt redd for å gjøre feil.


    Anyway, I know that Swedes and Norwegians can easily understand each other. It's also easy to understand written Danish, even I can do that.
    Finnish is a completely different matter since it doesn't belong to Indo-European language family.
    Most languages in Europe are Indo-European and it means that, even though they are vastly different on the outside, the basic structure is actually quite similar. Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian, Turkish, Basque, to name some, belong to other language families and they have a completely different "logic", so it's more difficult for an average European to learn them.

  • I always liked Sweden and swedish...my dream is to learn it one day, but from this thread maybe it is better to give up?? :white:

    I have been learning Swedish for a few month, and it is not a hard language to learn at all, especially grammer is pretty easy if you compare it with French or German. They have so many common words with English so it is not hard to guess meaning of some words. The only problem is that they have too many different dialects and it is hard to differentiate for example Stocholmish dialect and Gothenburg sounds very different (maybe not for native but for new-learners). On the other hand, it seems true that Norwegian is similar to Swedish and even I can understand some key words. And agree with you about being crazy since Iscandinavian languages are spoken by very few people (9 million for Swedish) so in order to learn it, some craziness or spesific motivation is needed :lol:

  • Wow, What a surprise :D I've never expected to hear that Swedish is not easy at all to learn. Let's see how you keep going :D All the bosnians I know just suck at Swedish but you're saying It's sort of an easy language to learn! I hope one day we can make a great conversation in Sverige :thumbsup:


    @ Joana - Ja, norsk er et fint språk. Det er en stor overraskelse for meg at du snakker veldig bra norsk. Har du besøkt Norge? Jeg pleide å bo i Oslo i fjor :lol:

  • i would only write the names that are different from other languages :)
    so in Slovak:
    Germany ---> Nemecko
    Austria ---> Rakúsko
    Hungaria ---> Maďarsko
    Italy ---> Taliansko
    the other European sounds quite similar

  • hehe I think Polish language makes me laugh a little bit than the others. (example Wlochy)....


    In Filipino, the translation is 99% the same with Spanish. The difference only is the spelling.


    Italy- Italya
    Germany - Alemanya
    United States- Estados Unidos
    France- Pransya
    Spain- Espanya
    China- Tsina


    Names of other countries are not translated and the English translation is used instead.

    It is odd that Bosnians have problem to learn it since they both in Indo-European :what: It is also Slavic but still closer than Turkish which is Altaic language. I am improving but it would be nice to make some practice with a 'fika' :teach:

  • I know some in Japanese (hope it is right)


    Japan - Nihon
    China - Chuugoku
    South Korea - Kankoku
    England - Igirisu
    France - Furansu
    Italy - Itaria
    Thailand - Tai
    Australia - Oosutoraria
    Brasil - Burajiru

  • It is no odd at all, Swedish is Germanic and Bosnian is definitely Slavic... not to wonder. Personally I don't really like Slavic languages and I always find it funny When some Bosnians speak Swedish.

    I have tried to learn 9 languages till now ( I just know 5 of them). For me most difficult one was Arabic ( even though there are many arabic words in our language). If you learn one european language, others ill be easy, it is like copy paste :D But I dont like as pronounciations are very close and sometimes you can get confused. Altaic language is the best to learn, if it is rule it is rule no exception ( match languages) ^^

  • Brazil 巴西 in internet we called 巴西 is 奶罩(bra) :lol:
    Serbia塞尔维亚 in internet :塞国
    Russia俄罗斯 in internet:罗西亚 螺丝


    but how do we read these chinese characters? Can you write the spelling in roman alphabet? ;)
