With me!

Let's start.

I'm in. Tell me all the pretty words and I'll figure out how many of them are Greek profanities.

It's the other way around, dear.

Remember? Khara means shit in Arabic while it means happy/happiness in Greek.

WE are ridiculing THEM.

I remember the word vlaca/vlaka coming up before. It means 'stupid' in Greek. What is it in Arabic?

As we have just established on MSN, Jane without a Y, malaka is "wanker" in Greek and "queen" in Arabic, but don't worry, there are other words that we'll get them with, those fucking turds took credit for major works of our philosophers and now they attempt to ruin our language? Fuck that, I say.

Nice edit, hah.

I refuse to call you Jayne, you know this.

Still awaiting vlaca/vlaka.

Vlaca doesn't mean anything in Arabic. I just called you that in one of the threads and you called me a malaka in return. That's how the Arabic/Greek conversation started.
Your username means "sugar" in Arabic.

Don't be so down - I said that about Farsi and I speak it fluently now. I also said that about Indonesian and I'm doing really well. It's just the hard work. Hours per day for years. The only thing is pronunciation. Fortunately, growing up speaking Arabic I have a flexible tongue which makes most of the languages very easy to learn, but I know a British guy who taught himself Arabic for 32 years and he speaks it so goddamned well, almost flawlessly. But he only understands and speaks Islamic [formal] Arabic. No dialects. That's the thing with Arabic - we all have our dialects, it's almost like a seperate language. When I talk to him in Bahraini he doesn't understand a word.

i think you told me that before. if i google it, i get results for dr. el-sokkar et al. i intended the scandinavian meaning though.

i don't doubt that i could do it, it's just with 54609845 other languages in my brain, i don't know if i could add it in and keep up with my schedule of other languages (which are falling behind).

That doesn't matter, it's confusing but it doesn't matter. My mother learned 4languages simultaneously. That's why before speaking Indonesian fluently I'm beginning with Kurdish.

i know a very very very little arabic.
ene garip, selamun aleykum, tesekkurler, defter, kalem, veled, zina etc.
i'm sure we stole more words from arabic but i can't remember them cause they're probably too old.
oh the alphabet: elif, be, te, se, jim, ha ???
i was going to an arabic course in turkey to learn to read the koran but i had to quit.
i know some "sure"s, do they count?

How many languages do you speak, Exor?

Well, I'll keep an eye on this thread; I have always been interested in learning new languages.

when this forum first opened, i had wanted to do lessons/tutorials/classes/etc. but it never took off.

I only speak two languages fluently at the moment; Portuguese and English.

But I'm really hoping to be a fluent speaker of Spanish by the time 2008 ends.

I spean 3 fluently. Arabic, Persian, and English. But I'm learning Indonesian and by the time I graduate I might be fluent. I've been learning it intensively for a little over 6 years now. I watch Indonesian movies and listen to their music and I understand a lot of what I hear. I hope to live in Indonesia for at least a year to be as fluent as I can be. My mom speaks it so that's what we use to speak to each other sometimes for practice.

My minor is French lit, in French, so it requires a lot of knowledge in the language as there's a lot of lengthy in-class essays and oral presentations.
