FACT: Eagles are birds. Your welcome.
merry Christmas to everyone
I'm studying Latin and that word has thrown me off so many times. With it's stark contrast it can really messes up sentences.
for some reason Bella can mean either war or beautiful.
I'm back... life was busy so i took a break...
I haven't seen you in awhile 😆😆😆
Bible Quizzer.... is that you? I thought you were long gone 😂
what does Bella mean in Latin?
Talking about different languages, bro. 😂
Interesting! 😄 Henry, I don't know if he was able to clarify later on or not 😆
Oh! 😂 That was actually one of my first guesses 😅
The full one is 美利坚合众国, or The United States (合众国) of beauty, profit, strong (美利坚）😂
beautiful country = 美国 (Meǐguó) = USA 😂
Japan is called Rìběn which literally translates as “sun origin” because you know, Japan is on the east and is known as the Rising Sun
Ummm, beautiful country... maybe... Japan?? 🤷♀️
What country is “beautiful country” in Chinese?
bald mouse 😂 Yeah that’s why I like pinyin. Did you know if he was able to clarify after? 😂
Oh! 😅 Eww, I hate bats 😬 Also, Henry, that's quite amazing about the intonation of the Chinese language! I would hate to end up messing up like that! 😯 I've heard about those kind of instances where a language is so complex that a foreigner trying to speak it ends up saying the wrong thing bc they didn't say it just right...one story I heard was that a missionary (I think they were in Africa) was preaching to the natives, and he found out at the end of his sermon that he had been preaching against cow manure instead of sin! 😂
Ok, you ready? A bald mouse = chauve souris = bat
Can you all guess what a bald mouse is in French?
In Chinese you could end up saying something very inappropriate if you ask someone for a pen and say the wrong tone 😅
Interesting way to put it Roger 🤣 Thats what it sounds like if we try to pronounce them with our English understanding, but with the 5 tones that English don’t have, as shown in pinyin, they sound quite different
I don't know, Henry 😅 And jítā-- ohh! 😂
😆 Speaking of Chinese, my dad was recently saying that it seems that the different towns/cities in China are named by dumping a drawer full of silverware on the floor, and then whatever sound it makes is what they name the place 🤣🤣
I once looked up weird phrases and I vaguely remember that
jítā = guitar It sounds exactly how a person with a Chinese accent would say guitar 😂
how does that make a kite 😅
And Henry, I still have no clue 😂
Lizard, yes! That is what it is! 😅 Flying deer= cerf-volant= kite
idk either of those but is a flying deer a kite?
Ummm... my mind is kinda drawing a blank here 😂
rich is “have money” and famous is “have name” 😂 Yep, it’s something totally unexpected 😏
Rich? um, Famous? 😅 I have no idea, if this is supposed to be something that wouldn't be expected 😂
Meanwhile I have another one. 😏 What does lucky he/him mean?
I'll give Liz a chance to guess before I answer 😏
I had guessed that, too 😂
This is one I just found for French. What does flying deer mean? You'll probably never guess 😏
yeah I’ve heard of the cool as a cucumber 😂
it's like a subject no one likes to discuss but everyone knows about and needs addressed
I've heard of all those 😂 Except I've never heard the one about the elephant. I'm guessing that means let's talk about the important matters? 😅
I've sort of got one for English have any of you ever there's more than one way to skin a cat or let's talk about the elephant in the room the best thing since sliced bread,cool as a cucumber 😂😂
Ok, so I have to preface this by saying I know that the English equivalent is not funny (bc it's not good to do), but I think the literal translation is very interesting considering the actual meaning. Casser du sucre sur le dos de quelqu’un = breaking sugar on someone's back = talking badly behind another person’s back.
Henry, I found an article on interesting French idioms. Some of them weren't so great, but I thought this one was interesting 😂 What does "breaking sugar on someone’s back" mean?
Yeah, French sounds a lot better than Hungarian. 😊 Hungarian has a monotonous, robotic sound to it. Plus, Hungarian is WAY more difficult to learn than French 😅
And, Elgwana, you need to be able to roll your R's in mid-word 😂 That's actually the opposite of French. Cause in French, you say your R's with the back of your tongue (which used to be really difficult for me, but now it's not 😅). But I think on whole, I like French better than Hungarian
*goes off into a tangent* you know, you always called someone older than you básci or néni (aunt). One of the MOST common names for women was Erzsébet (Elizabeth) or Erzsé for short. You practically couldn't move without meeting another Erzsé néni (a bit of an exaggeration, but we knew quite a number of Erzsébets.) Two the most common men's names were Gábor (Gabriel) and András (Andrew).
Elgwana, there are online Hungarian teachers. Or you could listen a thousand times to the CD we ALWAYS listened to (that got really old) 😌 Or I could (can't really do this) get you in contact with our Hungarian teacher András bácsi (uncle Andrew) 😜
Henry, oh! I get your drift 😂 Yeah, that's why I was saying I don't think French has any interesting things like Chinese 😅
@Vera: geez now it's even more of a a challenge And now ibwant to learn it even more 😂😂😂😂
oh 😅 but I can understand that since Chinese has similar stuff. I was thinking if by He is God
I think you meant HE makes it hot, right? 😅 but no, there's no "it", literally
Something interesting about pronouns in Chinese is that “he” and “she” are both pronounced as “tā” but written it is 他 and 她, respectively 😅
Hmm, if have to think about that... well, one that's not too interesting that I can think of off the top of my head is that, "Il fait chaud," literally means, "He makes hot." It's supposed to mean, "It is hot." But I guess all languages have something like that 😅 I'll have to think about this more
Does Do you know if French have any interesting literal translations?
Ohh! I should have thought of the owl! 😂 And the characters are interesting 😅
Yeah, but the second one is just three copies of one 😅
Wow! Those are some complex characters! 😅 Also, that's interesting about the cat head eagle 😆
my eyes hurt looking at these characters: 齉, 麤
It’s your favorite bird 😏 cat head eagle/hawk = 猫头鹰（māotóuyīng) = owl! 🤣
Ummm.....a cat head eagle?? 🤔 uhhh...a hawk? my mind's drawing a blank... what? 😅
Snow cabinet 😅 That's interesting
What does a cat head eagle mean in Chinese? 😂
another one: snow cabinet = 冰柜 = refrigerator
makes sense if you think about it
oh I said really in response to you saying Roger studied some Hungarian. Then I remembered Chinese just put together words that sound the same as an English name for the translation, so I thought I’d say hi 😅
electric brain = 电脑 = computer 😂
J'aime cuisiner et préparer la nourriture 😊
Aucun problème du tout! 😅
désolé j'ai été très occupé
j'en cuisine mais ce n'est pas ma chose préférée à faire
An electric brain... that's an interesting expression 😂 probably it either means smart or a brain that's having a hard time figuring something out 🤷♀️
Hmm, for some reason, your first statement translated to, "Really? Hello Vera, Roger!" Not sure if that's what it's supposed to say 😅
Can anyone guess what an “electric brain” means in Chinese?
// Sosem tanultam magyarul 😅 £€ C'est très difficile à apprendre
Are you sure? 😆 You don't know what you'd be getting yourself into. It's no small undertaking, and uses a ton of brain power 😂
I want to learn Hungarian now lol
check out Dogs for Jesus group 😏
Ok, what about $=Spanish; π= Chinese, pīnyīn; £€=French; Ñ=Norwegian; and // can be Hungarian
I don't care maybe you could put them all together so we could see them 😉
... and then \\ for Hungarian... what do y'all think of that? 😊 Let me know if you have any other ideas
Oh, wait. Maybe for Norwegian, we can do Ñ or sum, cause π is pi for Chinese pīnyīn 😅
Btw, everyone, £€ can be the symbol for French 😏
🤔 hmmm, that's interesting. Well, I have an Android, so that would explain. But maybe let me know if you ever figure out if it's on yours 😅
🤔 the plus symbol doesn’t show
🤔I looked it up and found that the android keyboard has it but not the ios, unless I add the Greek keyboard
😏 Liz, I like that idea. And, Henry, thanks for the tips about the keyboard 😅
(ohh, I found pi on my phone. On the bottom, left corner, click the number and punctuation thing. Then, inside that, you'll see something that looks like =\<. Then, on the top row, right around the middle, you'll find π 😉)
And, according to Google, "Hungarian may be the most difficult language in the world for an English speaker to learn". I never mastered it by any means (I think my mom knew the most of all of us), and I've forgotten most of what I learned. 😅
And, yeah, at least for English speakers, I read that Norwegian is one of the easiest to learn, but I'm not sure how long it takes to learn, cause I've never tried it 😅
😂 To answer the last question about the π symbol, I'll have to check on my phone keyboard, but you can just google "pi symbol" and copy that
how do you get the pi symbol?
if there's other languages you guys get to abbreviate them
yes I have different key boards
notice how they look similar
Oh but if you are using the translate website on phone, you have to request the desktop site on the browser to get access to the keyboard for each respective language
by selecting the pen button
🤣 what abbreviations should we use? By the way, if you go to Google Translate website or use the app, there is an option to write down the characters for Chinese to English
on other groups we can just talk in random languages and abbreviate so you which one
mwhahahaaaaa I have a evil plan
let's make sure we say which language we use 😬😅
This is starting to get more complicated 😳😅
hint：Español, Français, Zhōngwén, Magyar, Norsk
😬 I'm going to need to use the computer for this *thinks back on my efforts last night* 😬 😅
sorry couldn't translate that second one
lo hace ce 有没有 bármilyen forståelse? 😅😂
Intéressant, no sabía eso. 学习挪威语需要多长时间? mi van a magyarral? Å huske kinesiske tegn for å lese er en ting, men å huske for å skrive dyktig er 😬
I here English is really hard to learn guess I got lucky born into it
😂 Norwegian is one of the easiest languages to learn, from what I've read
haha 🤣 we need some Navajo
*that I can remember how to say
I said, "I'm sorry, I only speak a little Hungarian." And that's true! 😅 Cause that's basically one of the only full sentences I know how to say in Hungarian.
Bocsánat, csak egy kicsit beszélek magyarul.
Yeah, we've got French, Spanish, and Chinese all going at the same time! 😅 What's next?! 😂 Maybe Vera and I should toss in some Hungarian 😏
now everyone on this group knows a bit of everything (nowhere near everything) 😂🤣
Oh, yeah! I do notice the net 😄 2000 characters?! 😮 Wow....写在纸上容易吗？
🤣 Yeah, I was on the app (the computer was turned off), so I couldn't copy it from there and put it into Google translate. So I had to try to go to the website, and it was taking a looong time to highlight it, so I was trying to figure out another way to put the characters into Google translate. But I was finally able to copy it...after a long time. 😅
🤦♂️but with 迷人 instead of 好。Memorizing 2000 characters to fluently reach is 不好 😂
😨🤣 Yes, that answers my question. There’s probably a better way I could have put it, but I said (at least tried to), “umm…like 运动 as in tennis, or 运动 as in walking?” I asked since it could mean either sports, such as tennis, or exercise, such as walking and working out. From what I’ve learned, Chinese people ask stuff like that to clarify the meaning of words. 😅 对啊，中文怎这么迷人。See the net in 网球？😄 I use mostly use pinyin, which is romanized Chinese, to type out the characters instead of writing it. That way I don’t have to completely memorize everything 😅
😂😂 Believe it or not, Henry, that took me probably about an hour to finally figure out what you said 🤣 I should give my answer in English for clarification. 😅 I mean I don't do sports like tennis. I do stuff like walking and sometimes an actual workout on our workout equipment. 😄 Does that answer your question? 😂
那个… 像打网球的运动或像走路的运动？😅 I understood most of it (though I had to look up a few words 😅), but 运动 also means exercise 🤔
... oh wait, I'm not sure if Google translated that properly... 😅
😂 嗯，我只是说我不运动，但我偶尔会做运动，虽然我应该经常做。😅
Liz, you mentioned this group on MGW to Elgwana 😉
Yes, Henry! I said, "no, I don't do sports." 😂
That would be correct! 😂 See? You're already catching onto the French language. 😉🤣
😂 Vera I’m guessing you said you don’t play sports
😂 I think someone mentioned the group in another
if you go way back I was just talking to my self in Spanish 😂😂
Henry, how did you find this group (just cuz no one really knows about it)
Ev, non, je ne fais pas de sport 😄
I had a feeling you were asking if someone else on here speaks Chinese . 😅 我不 😂 But it looks fun
but with everyone else using french you can pick up on it
I don't know Chinese or french
I believe google translate has an auto translate feature. I asked, “Does anyone here know Chinese? I don’t know French. 😅”
I could translate if I knew the language
I'm not even sure what language that is sorry 😐
C'est bien! 😊 Nous n'avons pas d'animaux
avez-vous des animaux domestiques

la pregunté a Vera si estaba estudiando español
Oui! Je veux être missionnaire. Tu voulais dire passe-temps?
it's hard for me to translate the french so I'm just going to stick with Spanish from now on 🧐
Liz, nous parlons juste 😁
Ev, c'est très interessant! 😃
Je viens de recevoir une application de traduction, cela devrait donc faciliter les choses
Je porte surtout des trucs lourds toute la journée
je n'ai conduit que deux fois et je fais de la construction
Ev, j'aime conduire, aussi! 😃 Tu construis une terrasse? C'est-ce que tu fais pour le travail?
I'll stay as long as I can but we're leaving soon
Btw Liz, I'll probably mess up a lot xD
Hola Liz estoy aquí finalmente

Don't worry, Ev, mine is not that great, either. 😅
Yeah, Liz, 😏 you won't know what we're talking about.
then I can interrupt your convo
i can try but its been months since I practiced
Do you want to talk a little in French?
Yeah, I like French. 😁 (of course I'm not biased bc it's in my background 😏😆)
i don't know a lot but i know the basics
I don't like tea but I might try the coffee
You should try it. It has a bit of a bitter taste and it's dark. I like it! I think there's such a thing as chicory coffee, too
😂 That's very interesting! I think I would like it if it had sugar and cream (I really like the smell of coffee), but my family doesn't drink it. What I like is chicory tea. Ever heard of it? 😋
my dad used to dip our pacifier in coffee and give it to us probably why we all like coffee
I said my favorite is a cup of coffee
I don't drink coffee. I once had coffee beans (when I was little, at my grandparents' house), and I spit them out 😂
You're saying, "My favorite is a (something) coffee"
Oh, ok! In French, it would be "à toute à l'heure"
mi favorita es una taza de café
now it's a secret group no one knows about ,except everyone who knows about it😂😂
I thought this was an abandoned old group now I'm not so sure 🤣😂
see you later =hasta la vista
I'm pretty sure the last two things you said were, "I'm studying Spanish; you're studying French"... but I don't know what the first thing you said was
Yeah 😂 I actually just came on yesterday night to check it, and lo and behold! What do we have here! 😂
haha I didn't know anybody used this group 🤣😂 my sister is learning french she would probably be able to read that
How was that? Ok, I'll admit that for some things I at least had to use Google translate to make sure I was doing it correctly, but it was still good practice 😜
Je ne suis sais pas. Je dois y aller.
Il fait très chaud et beau. Et la?
Je suis comme çi comme ça.
Je suis très bien, merci. Et toi?
I understood some of that 😏 Some of the words are similar to French
yo vivo en muy grande casa
2.hola Buenos días cómo está
is this group still active?
Hey Guys!! lol i havent been active here for the longest time. what's up??
may I ask why? I thought the US was a free country...😂
Hey guys I’m back, Please join The group Honor GOD Almighty, which is my group thank you!

remove
y?
Someone needs to update the description
same to you, bible memorizer
hi I was the original leader and I have not talked in a long time but I am back
lol. it is like no one is active anymore.
I know it is being really weird lol
plz join memorise in quarantine
yeah I feel like you have said that like a million times!!
join prayer requests everyone
no one is really active atm. some groups have not talked for like over a month.
on second thought bye, I know him and will tell him I left so if he comes active again i will join, I have too many groups already
I might also, I’ll wait a while though
and that I’m not allowed to be admin
like it’s because we are the only people talking.
I gunna leave till this group is more active.
we need this group to be more active
I think he is already getting bored because he will get a huge outbreak if he says one swear word.
how is ever if we just acted like we didn’t really care then I could see him getting bored
that might make him worse making him want more attention so...I think not
i wonder if we should just do nothing, you know, talk and don’t listen to him. ignore him.
yea I knew not to talk I just wanted to be backup 😎 (and a witness Incase we take this to federal court) 🤣👌
We have made him stop swearing and, if lucky, he might just leave.
hey guys, don’t talk much on group Ugandan and me, I don’t want him thinking this is a huge deal on the group, I made it private so no others can join, you can listen I. though
yea it’s just slightly annoying
seriously on every group with 3,000 verses or over has a Legends of God ad on it.
