Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

Thema: Correct expression

Sorry for my English. I would like to ask you:

Is the expression " win over me " correct ? Are the expressions "win over me" and "beat me" the same meaning?
Thank you for your answer.
Igor Svetlik.

SkyLight: I have never heard the saying "win over me"

Yes you can say " You beat me"
or you could say " You have one win over me" meaning the person is beating you by one.

Thema: Re: Correct expression

SkyLight: It is correct to say "She won over me" as the equivalent of "She beat me." However, "She won me over" has a different meaning.
