Greetings in Foreign Languages

Bon Dieu, je suis perdu :crazy::crazy::crazy:







Admin note: Sorry to borrow Colin's space here ... he gets credit for starting this new thread but didn't actually start a new thread ... without our help rather, this new thread and its contents were created/harvested from the off topic foreign language postings that started to appear in the Swan Lake thread. Carry on ...

Pourquoi tu es perdu, mon bon ami J.H.C? Apparemment tu parles plusieurs langues. Je te félicite. Tu ne devrais pas être perdu. Le lac des cygnes est une oeuvre purement commercial du IXX siècle...Que veux-tu que je te dise? Rossini en a fait également mais avec plus de talent peut-être...je suis fou de son Barbier!



Cordialement,

Martin

For those wondering, the rough translation from French to English follows:

Why you're lost, my good friend J.H.C? Apparently you speak several languages. I congratulate you. You should not be lost. Swan Lake is a work of purely commercial IXX century ... What do you want me to say? Rossini also did but with more talent ... maybe I'm crazy about his barber!

Sincerely,
Martin

LOL

=============================================
The translation seems to be ok. I have just answered in French because the guy said something in French and French is my second mother tongue...English is my third...

Sincerely,

Martin

For a master of languages you don't recognise Irish

Me dad claimed he spoke English, Scottish and Rubbish. (not sure which order though)

Gaelic as spoken in Eire is very similar to the Scottish version as well. Now for something completely different

Sut wyt ti heddiw.

Le Lac des Cygnes? Well, in Spanish that would be El Lago de los Cisnes. But does the translation change the music?

I would guess Welsh Teddy, but as for what you are saying I've not a clue

Did I...

Did I say I am a master of languages? I AM NOT!

Spanish is my mother tongue (I was born in Buenos Aires)
English my "father's" tongue...LOL (He was British, from Leeds)
French my "mother's" tongue (She was French, from Paris)
I understand and speak Italian and Portuguese...not well, but I can manage.
I am learning Russian...

NOTHING ELSE...

MY German sucks


Martin, LIMITED...You're better than me. I don't speak Irish-Gaelik. I like Oscard Wilde though....
