Bye SG :hug: Have a nice time!

GG2, I don't think they're that alike, just enough for me to catch some Dutch words. From what I understand, Swedish, German, Dutch and even English originate from the same language though, so it would be weirder if they weren't alike. Yes, I'm a language :nerd:

yup, english comes from latin, German Swedish and Dutch from Germanic(dunno how to spell that correctly in english) language :nerd:
 
Hmm, are you sure about that? That English is from Latin, I mean? I'm pretty sure they said it was germanic when I studied English. :scratch: (I like your spelling on Germanic, we'll go with that)

I remembered when we read Beowulf in it's original text, half the words were more or less Swedish. But I don't know, it's been a while since I studied it, so I'm probably wrong there :shrug: It's been over three years since I studied Latin, so most of it is gone by now :lol:
 
Lots of English comes from French also
Pretty much every word ending in 'ion' and 'ence' are derived from French.
I always thought that it would be hard to learn French until this summer. Very easy. :yes:

exactly, and french is also a language from Latin :)

also words like table-table are really alike :)
 
English has actually stolen stuff from a lot of languages :lol: But yes, there are both Latin and Germanic roots to it :) And studying Old English (as in, around the time of the original Beowulf, etc) *is* a different language :wink:

Thanks Galeon :hug:
 
:lol: table-table, I didn't get it at first...

When I studied French, I had no problems, I had more problems with the German. Latin was the worst, though. :huh:

I'm gonna take my doggie for her nightly walk, but I'll probably be back in half an hour. See ya :wave:

:ohmy: I took too long in writing my reply! All these people showed up! :lol: Drea, Sami, Wild, Weldy :hug: I'll be back later.
