What are you on about? Google Translation works fine....

"Merci pour le compliment ! Moi aussi je suis fatigué car j'ai bu et fumé aussi, un peu trop. Bisous !"

"Merci pour le compliment !"
Mercy pour the compliments!"

"Moi aussi je suis fatigué car"
My Aussie Jesus's tired car"

"j'ai bu et fumé aussi, un peu trop. Bisous !"
runs on butt fumes from Aussies, one fart per tropicana. Cheesy surrender kisses!

Thanks you google translator!

Finalement! Un lieu où je peux parler en français :]

Ca va, mes amis? J'ai écrit récemment que je partais TiBB, mais maintenant j'ai décidé c'était un peu stupide et on ne pourrait soins* pas si j'étais d'ici ou ne pas... aussi quelquefois je peux parler quelque chose, sans les gens moi-dit "Pourquoi es-tu d'ici? Tu as quitté!" :P.

Donc, je suis une "membre un peu inactif", peut-etre?! :P

Sia xxx

EDITED :P
*Googled that, was supposed to mean "care"? as in, the sentence was "they wouldn't care if i was here or not"

Coucou Sia,

ça fait plaisir de te voir ! :hugesmile: Tu m'as manqué, c'était un peu triste sans toi, mais je suis pas venu souvent ici.

There's a few mistakes in your post babe but they aren't big, I'll let you find them alone. :tongue:
Hahaha yeah, i changed it a bit [see above] but i probably made it worse. oh well. Anyway

Merci Remy :), je suis très heureuse, je t'ai* manqué et ton visage d'un ange aussi (:P). Donc... Ça va? Cette Weekend je suis allée au Manchester! C'était très bon, mais je suis très fatiguée maintenant, parce qu'aujourd'hui j'ai beaucoup voyagé :P, et aussi la nuit dernière mon petit-ami a fait une boum que c'était bon mais j'ai fumé trop j'ai bu trop d'alcool... ;P

*haha i'm rubbish at preceding direct objects so i completley guessed that :(
Here are the mistakes:
'que je partais de TIBB'
'soins' means 'health care and DO NOT use Google translation, you have dozens of translators on the Internet, but not that one !
'je peux parler de quelque chose'
'sans que les gens me disent'
'Tu es partie'.

Merci pour le compliment ! Moi aussi je suis fatigué car j'ai bu et fumé aussi, un peu trop. Bisous ! :hugesmile:
Hahahahahahahhahaha
It's morning time and laughing at my mistakes :P

Remy, you shouldnt even dignify that with an answer. Someone who doesnt even speak french trying to teach you about it, is the most laughable thing I have ever heard. Anyways, as a person who speaks both languages fluently, I can say without a shadow of a doubt, french is much more complex than english, and more difficult to learn, thats a fact. It took me 3 months to learn english when I moved to the US, and I can say with a great deal of confidence, I speak English better than most natives. Its a very simple language to learn, asides from the vocabulary which is the same for every language. But as far as grammar is concerned, it doesnt get any simpler.
Now, for the expert in french morphology, can you make a post in french? YOu havent even attempted to do so. Why dont you go ahead and show us just how easy, the language is.
What are you on about “It doesn’t get simpler”? That’s completely wrong!

There are plenty of languages that are simpler morphologically than English – Afrikaans, Thai, Vietnamese, Norwegian, just to name a few. And why have all these Francophones got this attitude that synthesis equals difficulty. Chinese is the epitome of analysis and it’s probably the hardest language anyone can learn and it’s one of the most morphologically simple languages in the world.

French, stuck under the tyranny of “L’Académie Francaise” is going stagnant. English on the other hand is free to change. Although it’s currently semi-analytical, it will become more synthetic at some point in the future when the prepositions merge on to the noun into case prefixes, which will then deteriorate over time, which will make way for postpositions with the language back in its analytical state. Then the postpositions will merge onto the noun into case suffixes which will make English synthetic again, having gone full circle. English is free to develop in circles of analysis to synthesis to analysis like all natural languages are doing and have always done:

Synthetic (suffixes) [Anglo-saxon] ->
Analytical (prepositions) [Modern English] ->
Synthetic (prefixes) [in the future] ->
Analytical (postpositions) [in the future] ->
Synthetic (suffixes) [in the future] etc…
and we will have gone full circle and will continue to do so!

French on the other hand will die out eventually since it’s so tightly regulated and isn’t allowed to evolve naturally. Inflections derive from particles that merge onto nouns turning into prefixes or suffixes. So, why don’t you proud Frenchies let your language evolve?!

So get rid of your egoistic attitude of: “Synthesis = Superiority” and “Analysis = Inferiority”! Languages go through cycles of analysis and synthesis; it just happens to be that English is currently semi-analytical and French is currently semi-synthetic.

I know this is back tracking a bit but someone said French is one of the hardest languages to learn.
I personally think that English must be HORRIBLE to learn.

I'd say it's probably more time-consuming to learn French because it has a higher morpheme-per-word (mpw) ratio than English. That isn't to say that synthesis=superiority though. French has what many linguists call, "stagnant morphemes" since the inflections are supplemented by particles.

Captain.Remy 07-02-2009 04:33 AM

Jeeeez, he's back. :rolleyes:
Because of course he speaks French better than AMA and I do but it's alright.

Fom, French is very hard to learn, that's a fact. Its full of twists and rules which doesn't exists in English.

English, on the other hand, is quite easy: we don't separate gender, tenses are easy (have, have, has, have, have, have) etc... And I love how it sounds (but that's a personal opinion)
