Welcome to new experts

We have this discussion about how boring Georgian is in a swedish forum. I like the sound of the words, but...monotone.

Hi Cisa
Aha... I didn't think of it in that way, you mean that it's so ordinary?
but...hey, what if there only was the smal (may be funny) languages in the world...we could not comunicate between countries then, not so good anyway. I think that I just mean that if somebody get a big laugh when they hear for an examle swedish...that's much better than if a language make them cry

Ah, thanks for the link Cisa, I'll have a look

Cisa,
sorry to say but I don't get the funny part, my knowledge of finnish is bad and hungarian even worse...

Thanks anyway

Casper, I wouldn't say Georgian is boring, they have a particular tonality though, the tempo in which they speak makes me think of the Kalashnikovs they are talking about. Fortunately, that's the only word I get.

Pias,
I knew it would be so! Still, I pasted in the link for request.

Guilon,
interestingly, when I got that link to that Basque song from you, it really reminded me of Hungarian, it was a very nice experience, not to feel so alone- lingvistically! (Of course, they are no relatives, but for some time, it was believed so and who knows? )

Yes...I know, silly me! (he,he)

I wouldn't say that it's boring too, Guilon. I said it's monotone.

The very opposite of french, where there are LOTSA ups and downs

And don't forget Norwegian too Heidrun

...ups and downs!

A propos Norwegian: Do you have problems with understanding it, or is it very easy for you, as well as understanding Danish? Because I've recently met a Norwegian who told me, it was about the same as Austrian and German (spoken by Germans) - there are differences in pronounciation (and also some words) but it's still mainly the same.

Yes Heidrun...it's easy to understand
harder to write (or talk) for a not native like me I just mean that it SOUNDS like many "ups and downs", same as you mentioned about french..

One week later (bad habit!), congratulations to smy, Tantine and thathavieira!

Hey, don't you throw that monkey wrench on one's head! It hurts!

Merci Goncin

I'll try not to throw it at anyone


bises
Tantine

Goncin!
Why do you say that? Did you trow it in someone? Or in yourself?
(*Almost) Welcome back.

How do you throw it on somebody's head? How it is done?
Welcome back! and thanks!

Folks,

The monkey wrench is just a tool, but may become a weapon in case of misuse.

OK, that is a silly metaphor, but I think is good to have it on our minds. The admin job is as useful as dangerous. Use with care.

No, it was funny GOncin. I understand what you meant.
