===Encore une autre question de langue !===
{{TNE|remerciement=Thanks ! (Now I know your full name... though it's gonna take me a little effort to pronounce it.)}}


{{Xiggie|text=hehe :P
also, just wandering, how do you pronounce ''Singh''? (is it like ''sængh'' (Æ = I) or is it like ''sigh'' with a ''n'' added...?)}}
{{TNE|text=Pronounce it as you pronounce "sing". With a very hard "ng" sound.}}
{{Xiggie|happy=thanks :P
in case you're wandering, Sigurður Heimir Guðjónsson is pronounced something like: ''Sig-earth-ur Heim-ir Guth-john-son'' (Heimir is similar to Homer, but with a '''ei''' sound (like in h'''ey''') instead of the '''o''' sound) (Guth is something like ''goth''...)
does that help...}}
{{TNE|happytext=Okay, I get it ! Thanks ! :DDDDDDDDD So it's pronounced "hey-mer" and not "high-mer".}}
{{Xiggie|text=yeah, it's like ''hey-mer'' :P}}
{{TNE|text=Nice. ^_^ Guess it wasn't so tongue-tying after all...}}
{{Xiggie|text=hehe :P
well, Icelandic is however sort of a rough language to speak (also, kinda hard to learn)...}}
{{TNE|text=Well... to me I guess it doesn't matter. I love languages (and judging from the amount of Babel I have on my userpage !). It might be sort of an uphill task at the beginning, but as I once told [[User:Unbirth]], learning any language for that matter, is easy, but mastering it is hard.
Heck, I wonder how I managed to pronounce every syllable in Annika Ljungberg's ''Song of Mana'' from Square's ''Legend of Mana'', when I'm not entirely familiar with Swedish phonetics.}}
{{Xiggie|text=just a tip: if you learn any one of these languages, ''Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Icelandic, Faroese'', it is very easy to learn the basics of the others...
guess that's why I am so good at Danish... :P (I can also read in Swedish and Norwegian, since it is similar to Danish/Icelandic).
and, do you know, Faroese is just like a language of Icelandic slang... :P}}
{{TNE|text=Yep, as quite a lot of English words originate from Scandinavian languages, right ?
Ya know, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that "Wednesday", "Thursday" and "Friday" originated from Swedish.
EDIT : No kidding ??????? :D Well, somewhere along the line... every language is closely linked, I guess.}}
{{Xiggie|text=hehe :P see this:
an example of Nordic words used in English but with a different meaning : ''Sky''. however, in Icelandic, ''Ský'' means cloud...
another is : ''Ski''. In Icelandic it's ''Skíði'' (the i is silent, so it's like ''ski-th'')
it's like in Icelandic, ''Sæng'' means duvet, but in Danish, ''Seng'' means bed!}}
{{TNE|text=Hm.... Not bad. ^_^ Guess I can be my very own ''petite linguiste'' (though there aren't any prospects for linguists over here...). I'm beginning to like this '''a lot''' !
EDIT : Remember the userbox ? The word ''kunattu'' (mind the spelling and the accents) - does it mean "command" (of a language), or knowledge, or something like that ? I mean, what's the exact word ?}}
{{Xiggie|text=''Kunnátta'' means knowledge, the Icelandic row of words is kinda messed up from the English perspective... while you say:
''This user is able to contribute with a basic level of English.'', we say: ''Þessi notandi hefur grundvallarskilning á Íslensku. (this user has a basic understanding of the Icelandic language)''}}
{{TNE|happytext=Wait. ''Kunnátta'' means knowledge. The French ''connaissance'' means knowledge. They're linked !!}}
{{Xiggie|text=hehe, isn't everything :P}}
{{TNE|shocktext=Impressive. Though of course, when said verbally, it'll all sound like a Tower of Babel...}}
{{Xiggie|text=...Tower of Babel...?
''(hehe, you know, Babel is similar to an Icelandic slang, "babbl" = bullcrap :P)''}}
{{TNE|text=Tower of Babel... you know, from that biblical story where they wanted to build a tower as high as the heavens... but how God caused confusion among them and all the languages were formed ?
Oh, and there's also the English word ''babble'' - to babble is to ramble or to speak nonsense.}}
{{Xiggie|text=oh... that rings a bell...
and... oh, so babble is a word :P}}
{{TNE|text=Yep. ^_^ Funny how we can draw so many connections, ya ?}}
{{Xiggie|happy=ya :D
it's funny, every time we say "ya?" I think of Wakka :P}}
{{BebopKate|text=German has so many connections to English. They're both in the same language branch, Germanic, so that makes sense I suppose; I didn't realize Icelandic was in there, but it makes sense too now that I think about it. That's part of the reason I took German in high school...I'm very lazy. ^_^  The other reason is its the language of my ancestors.
I never could quite catch on to Romance languages.  I've always had a rough time with Spanish, for example, even though it was taught throughout school when was growing up.  I think it's all the genders; that's always what I had a hard time with in German.}}
{{TNE|text=Xiggie : Exactement !
BebopKate : Here's a thought about genders for Romance languages - they're usually indicated by the '''ends''' of the words. Like in French, almost every other word that has an extra E at the end is feminine. I know I had a bit of a hard time picking that up, but that's all behind me.
Heck, had it not been for the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century our English just wouldn't be like this, with all its connections to Romance languages... I can't imagine what we'd be writing !}}
{{Xiggie|text=hah, lol
in the words which are similar in english and Icelandic, the Icelandic ones just change the word and/or it's ending. e.g. Bath => Bað, eat => éta}}
{{TNE|happytext=Not bad, I'd say ! I could store all this talk on languages for further analysis. :D}}
{{Xiggie|happy=hehe, from all the Icelandic tips I've given you, you can probably understand basic Icelandic... ;P}}
{{TNE|text=I might... I guess. ^_^ Oh, it'll be fun to finally earn an Is-1 ranking !}}
{{Xiggie|text=Oh, i'd be fun to chat in my native language here with someone :P
''Það má vel vera að ég hafi nokkuð sterkar tilfiningar til þín'' ;P (I am so not gonna tell you what that means ;P)}}
{{TNE|text=''Je suis rendue faible.''
Darn, this is turning into a Tower of Babel...}}
