Never mind, I discovered I can actually change my username. To anyone who wants to add me, Mr.Baron. Yes, without the space.

I imagine you'll have easier time with Welsh, as it also a Celtic language like Irish.


Aw. Well, good luck with Italian.

--------------------

And I just submitted a Hindi translation for a YouTube video. This is quickly becoming a serious business for me.

Ah. I had to sing a song in Welsh called Myfanwy. It's a pretty interesting language, I'll tell you that.

Spoiler: Myfanwy

Paham mae dicter, O Myfanwy,
Yn llenwi'th lygaid duon di?
A'th ruddiau tirion, O Myfanwy,
Heb wrido wrth fy ngweled i?
Pa le mae'r wên oedd ar dy wefus
Fu'n cynnau 'nghariad ffyddlon ffôl?
Pa le mae sain dy eiriau melys,
Fu'n denu'n nghalon ar dy ôl?

Pretty interesting not to only read, but speak the language, too. Foreigners to this have probably zero idea that this is a love song let alone how to pronounce the words in said love song.

Also....

Nice thread title, pardner.

I imagine you'll have easier time with Welsh, as it also a Celtic language like Irish.

They are, however, different sub-families, and the difference is more extreme than, say, German vs. English. An English speaker might be able to make sense of the equivalent phrase in German ("I drink water" vs. "Ich trinke Wasser"), but an Irish speaker would not at all understand the equivalent in Welsh ("ólaim uisce" vs. "dw i'n yfed dŵr" - the sentence isn't even constructed the same way). The similarities are very limited.

Of course Catalan is further distinct, being Romance rather than Celtic, I was just surprised someone actually bothered to make even part of an Irish > Catalan course.

edit: also, yes, that (ŵ) is indeed a W with a circumflex. W is treated as a vowel (pronounced sort of like "oo"), the circumflex acts as a sign to indicate it is lengthened. Welsh is a bit of an odd language like that; W doesn't even exist natively in Irish. You also have multiple instances of Y being pronounced like U, and vice versa (like the Welsh name for Wales, Cymru).

 

[jarbAin]

"ólaim uisce" vs. "dw i'n yfed dŵr"

Now not to be offensive, but are you implying that someone speaks this?

 

[Moydow]

Now not to be offensive, but are you implying that someone speaks this?

These are actual languages, yes. The former is Irish, and the latter is Welsh. I'm close to fluent in Irish, and, while I don't know much Welsh, I'm familiar enough with some of its mechanics and vocabulary to know how it compares to Irish.

Makes it hard to think that all of them are part of the same family. I used think they were at least as similar as English/German, but I guess not. I guess English/Icelandic is a better comparison.

Well, like I said before, learning fluent Chinese will consume your soul and drag you to the depths of hell. I am not joking…

 

[Volga]

Ok, I made an account for Memrise. It's a pretty cool app. I can see why it's a popular app.

Volga FalKoopa You guys wouldn't mind adding me, would you?

Just got back from a friends place. I got you and Fal added.

learning about the language had me looking up stuff about Japan. Like their McDonalds.

also it appears a lot of people here have caught the language bug. we'll be speaking gibberish in no time.

 

[The-Power-Within]

Just warning you in advance: this is NOT a Fallout icon (though it looks like one). It's a Vocaloid icon

It looks more like a Half Life 2 icon to me than a Fallout icon, don't worry.

---

As for the language conversation, I'd be interested in learning Japanese myself, as well as Spanish, Portugese, Italian, Russian, Dutch, Mandarin and French. Out of all those, the ones that are top priority for me would be Spanish and French (French mostly because I'm a Franceophile and plus too it'd be useful when visiting places like France itself or French Canada, and Spanish for mostly the same reasons as France, except I'm also a Spainophile and the Spanish language would be useful when visiting Spain itself or Mexico. )

Welp, time to start singing my swan song.

--------------------------------------------------------

My main motivation for learning Japanese is that I've heard the language long enough to know that some of the subbing and the translations aren't entirely accurate. My case isn't ADHD bad, but I want to be able to understand some of the shows I watch and appreciate the language. It'd also be awesome to talk to some Japanese people and learn even more about the culture. Then again, I should be studying Spanish since it's one of the only three foreign language classes offered at my college.......

Welp, time to tackle both courses on Memrise at the same time. I hope it won't be too bad. My goal is to learn 10 words a day, so they'll stick in my head, I think....

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

So if I may ask, what do the other American users of this thread have planned for the Fourth of July?

 

[FalKoopa]

The languages I'm interested in learning (for now at least) are French, German, Russian, Japanese, Indonesian, and Urdu.

Motivations vary from historical reasons for German and Russian, to anime/manga for Japanese, and cultural interest for Urdu and Indonesian.

Well, like I said before, learning fluent Chinese will consume your soul and drag you to the depths of hell. I am not joking…

I mean, Mandarin Chinese has nearly a billion speakers. Are most of them in hell?

 

[mario123007]

I mean, Mandarin Chinese has nearly a billion speakers. Are most of them in hell?

There are also different dialects depending on which region you are in. As native speaker learning Classic Chinese poems and linguistic was like hell to me. As for foreigners you need to know which kind of Chinese you should use, and what kind of phonic system to use. Me I use Zhuyingfuhao, a Chinese's alphabet chart. And even you know modern Chinese grammar doesn't mean you can understand Chinese ancient poems and stories.

And with billions of people speak Mandarin, learning Chinese might be necessary over the next few years. A lot if Mandarin speakers are using Simplified Chinese, I used Traditional Chinese that has more strokes.

[Jason the Yoshi]

So last night, my fiancée leaked to my cousin Michael (who's about my age) that I grew out of Sonic, and he went ballistic.

I'm lucky she didn't leak that I'm a brony. That would've ruined me.

Anyway, happy 4th of July fellow Americans.

Well, the classical/ancient form of any language is hell for modern speakers. Sanskrit is just as hard for me, with its huge number of cases and inflections. I think Classical Chinese is as different from Modern Chinese as Sanskrit is from Hindi.

 

[Knight Dude]

Happy Freedom Day! Enjoy the summer air and the fireworks.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

Happy 4th of July, my fellow Americans.

These guys? They're playing the Team America theme song, I reckon

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Happy Freedom Day! Enjoy the summer air and the fireworks.

No doubt there'll be fireworks tonight, but it's pretty nippy out here, and in California out of all places.

This is our country's freedom we're talking about. 240 years of it, and yet we've come so far that fast.

Happy 4th of July, my fellow Americans.

These guys? They're playing the Team America theme song, I reckon

I'll just be listening to THIS all day.

Dude, c'mon, I was joking...sheesh.

It does look like when creating that image you did borrow some Half Life 2 logo elements though, or at least, the circle you used.

Anyways, that aside (I hope...), happy Fourth of July if you live in America. If you don't live in America, then I hope you have a fantastic normal day.

 

[Routa]

Fireworks? So you guys are into watching your monies burn?

 

[FalKoopa]

Happy 4th of July to the Americans here.

Changed the title accordingly.

 

[Volga]

Happy 4th guys!

changed the avatar accordingly for today.
I'm a little sick,so all I can do is stay in and watch fireworks from afar tonight.

 

[Cobalsh]

What's the difference between America and a cup of yogurt?

Leave the yougurt alone for four hundred years and it'll grow a culture.


That's in jest, as I am thankful for all the oppurtunities I have here.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Happy 'MURICA Day, everybody!

I'm just gonna chillax today now that I got off work.

 

[Mythra]

Page 1998?

Uhh... Well, in that year Jeff Gordon had 13 victories (all time record) to win the 1998 Winston Cup.

*vanishes*

 

[EmceeEspio]

In more important 1998 news, Somic Adventure.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

So I played some Smash with my cousins today. It was okay to say the least. My Yoshi's still pretty good, but i still think I need to spend more time working on my skills as Bowser.

In more important 1998 news, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.

Fixed that for you.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

In more important 1998 news, Quest 64.

Fixed for awesome opinions.

But seriously, 1998 had some cool game releases. And I don't just mean my favorite n64 game. OOT and Sonic Adventure were amazing games in their own right.

 

[Volga]

I was 2 on 1998.
whatever games released then I have no clue about em.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

I was born... in 1998.
My birthday is less than a day for now so.....

Well, it's 5th July here, so...
Happy Birthday! जन्मदिन की बधाइयाँ!

 

[EmceeEspio]

I just posted this in the DR and decided to post it here.

Emcee's childhood friend and both the sniper and mechanic of Team PHANTASY, it's Mic!

 

[Moydow]

> people talking about which page matches their birth year

Mine passed ages ago. Way to make me feel old.

Just a suggestion, but maybe you should give him more than just wrenches. A hammer and a screwdriver, maybe?

 

[EmceeEspio]

Wrenches are his go to tool and occasional melee weapon, but they pretty much only signify his status as the team's mechanic and engineer.

That backpack of his is a specially designed self made and upgraded version of their world's pocket space technology holding a wide arsenal of firearms, which are his main combat specialty.

He's got a high impact sniper rifle, a few pistols of varying types, an SMG, an M16, etc.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

These damn fireworks are ruining my SGDQ watching

 

[Ryu_Ken]

Happy birthday, man.

Thanks guys
Btw, I got an early birthday present.

Spoiler

My Voice Acting/Singing career has officially begun. Gotta get some content out on my YouTube channels and promote my voice.

But first, I must master the audacity that is..... Audacity.

*shivers*

 

[Bluehaven]

Is it possible for fireworks to be set off during the day? I swore I heard some about two hours ago.
Also Happy the 4th everyone.
As a special treat, I'll leave this horrible version of the Star-Spangled Banner from 4Kids.
Cause 'Murica.
