BrainKing - Diskussionsborde (Languages)

Languages

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

Emne: Re:

Reza: the sentences can mean both .. they are ambiguous

the same with the sentence :
i met my cousin and his friend, who married my sister

if course its more like to have the friend marry your sister .. but the sentence could still mean your cousin married your sister :)

in english you have learn and teach .. in dutch we only have 1 word leren .. i cant find an example right now .. but there are a lot of sentences (which happen in every day speak) in which its not clear if you are teaching someone or being taught :)
