Anyone else think this sh!t is ridiculous?

[jurgs01]

I was thinking of freekwonder. Dunno how I got them confused.

Crazy stuff!!

But it's missing some questions:

"Where is Bin Laden?"
"Where are WMDs?"

Just for you.

I enjoy my constitutional right to b**** about you bitching.

And give you negative rep(cool)

if you guys dont give a s*** about my class, exercise your constitutional rights to not view the threads about it. shut the **** up and move on.

no, craig isnt talking about recon, hes talking about airborne infantry. recon is marine corps.

you would do well in this class. the language has very similar words since the arabs conquered persia long ago. the main difference in pronunciations is that arabs have harder sounds...farsi is a little more soft spoken

you are right, the words (i.e spelling)are very minor in difference. however, the language is totally different.
It would be useful becasue i have alot of persian friends and i don't understand what they say. it is hilorious when i talk to them in arabic and they do in persian. the best times. I am from egypt btw, incase u wondering.

yea...in arabic, we like it rough

 

[Matthew]

lol your language is more difficult, and they make sure to mention "that they dont have anything against the arabs, except for their ricidiculously difficult language"

10th day of class homework. this s*** is driving me crazy. i get a ******* headache everyday. this is the easy portion of my homework tonight. my other portion is taking about as many sentance written in farsi, translating them into english, then rephrasing them in farsi to ask something different, then writing the answers to our questions in farsi, then record everything on tape.

holly s***, dood, I'm persian too.

 

[Matthew]

huh?

 

[Mikey444]

it's just nice to know other persian ppl on here

 

[Matthew]

im not persian im in class but im trying...did i do the two questions in post 42 correctly?

 

[Mikey444]

I have no clue, since I dont read farsi, I can only make chit chat. I never bothered to learn the language of part of my culture (bang) . I got a lot of mix in my family so I am more than one thing lol

 

[pro00]

lol your language is more difficult, and they make sure to mention "that they dont have anything against the arabs, except for their ricidiculously difficult language"

hahahaha, that is funny
we try to put our differences aside

 

[Matthew]

you would be suprised how much of farsi is french.

merci, computar, etc are all french words. lots of them...ive learned like 20 words that are french and i barely know any vocab

 

[Mikey444]

LOL, I can speak french perfectly but I hate french. oh ya, and ever try watching a french movie. It sucks sooo bad

 

[Familia323]

not that it matters, but since we are talking about random stuff.. my g/f is persian. And Im going to be in the same boat as you on the class thing... I need to learn Farsi.

 

[TXMazdaSpeeder]

When you are finished, you will appreciate it. I wish I knew more languages. I took Spanish in high school, then didn't use it for like 9 years, and then got a job in a company that was started and run by Spanish speaking people. They spoke English too, so I could know what they were talking about. I worked there for two years. I still don't speak, but I can understand it pretty well. It makes you appreciate them though. Some people talk s*** because somebody that was born and raised in another country and then moves here can't speak English as well. Those are usually the people that can't speak a word of anything else.

i only get pissed when i have to speak spanish to order a cheeseburger

 

[garretts77]

That's understandable...

i can give you some phrases to call her beautiful or tell her you love her, if youre interested.

 

[Familia323]

yeah that would be cool.. the extent of my knowledge are basic words like boos=kiss and stupid little things like that. and the phrase(I really dont know how to spell it,but here goes) chesmat gashangeh... which is, I think, "your eyes are beautiful." what you say to someone when they compliment you to compliment them back. Something like that. But yeah if you have phrases by all means, let'r rip.

 

[Matthew]

the problem is, a lot of the words are hard for americans to pronounce because we have no letter to represent the letter khe..

but dooste dokhtar is girlfriend.

"man ashege tow hastaam" means i love you. actualyl it means "i am the lover of you". the problem is the "g" in "ashege" is different than any you have ever heard...its a little deeper sounding than say the "g" in the word "gone"

 

[Matthew]

i can certainly write them for you if you are in the busienss of leaving her letters.
