Question to Pensive - maybe more suited for the thread about how many languages we speak, but:
can you understand bits of Arabic, Turkish, and Parsee? You obviously can figure out a lot of what is said in Hindi!

I might be able to understand a few words of all these languages. My own real name is Persian.
Is it Miss KatAyoun of Nine Tales?

This is the name of a thing. It will probably surprise you.

due to popular demand (from RJ) I've come up with another weird expression from German. it's comparatively easy to guess i think. the literal translation would be "What does that bring me?" (Was bringt mir das).. There's also "That doesn't bring me anything." (Das bringt mir nichts).
guesses?
Why should I do it?
Vägivald is an Estonian word
Tal-oppresion, sort of?
It looks as though your crow has evolved into some strange new creature.
yep, roughly... it means something like "What's in it for me?", "Why should I do it etc"... hm, you should be banned from answering the German riddles :) Norwegian and German are just too similar... :DQuote:

Cool.. what an interesting thread!! :banana:
I think I have a nice question: what does a Dutch person mean if he of she says "I am doing this for bacon and beans"??
The other questions are still a bit too difficult for me (I have to adjust myself to the English language first and speak no other languages.. not even a bit German ;) . But I will crack my head trying to figure them out :mad: .. the ones that have not been explained :brow: .
Voor spek en bonen! Don't worry, I wont spoil it. :D
As for 'was bringt mir das', I'm guessing it means that the person saying it doesn't do it for free, or more precisely, what is the added value of whatever 'das' (that) happens to be.
:lol: I didn't see the answer was already there
