How 'babe' can really change the way a sentence sounds.
But Ralf, I think you can only use those lines with a linguist or a serious language student. Perhaps a medical student too or your personal physician :lol: Nice... |

You're right, Nina. Next time I'll try them on my otolaryngologist. She'll be delighted :o

Good luck, Ralf. She is the best candidate. If you are lucky she won't prescribe you to a psychiatrist. Worse, she might think of getting her own ears checked. :lol:
Just pulling your leg :wink:
Moving on, I notice men are usually the ones who say romantic things to women.
What about you boys? What is the most romantic thing said by a girl to you guys? |

Good question! I suppose most romantic comments I've heard so far started "I like the way you..." Those comments usually refer to the way you say or do things. So "I like the way you look at me when you're tired" is probably as romantic as it gets :?

It's very hard to write it in english for me:/ No matter what how u say and no matter what language u speak, if your feelings are true, it's not important which language you use to express it :)

Just in case you might be interested in the Russian version:
Ia tebia lublu. (= I you love) |

Hi Alex,
My command of the Russian language is extremely limited. In fact, I only remember a few words from a class of Russian ex-pats I used to teach English.
So here's a very unfunded question. When you say "yellow blue" in English, does that make sense in terms of "Ia lublu"?

Hi, Ralf
If you're asking me if "yellow blue" sounds like "Ia lublu", then I'd say foreigners (mostly English-speaking) with a very thick accent (that stands out a mile :)) would pronounce them in the same way. But of course the more you master your pronunciation the more you'll see the difference. |

Could you tell me what you meant when you wrote "unfunded" question, Ralf?

Actually, I thought you might possibly have meant unfounded, but I didn't quite understand that either. Thus the question. I thought it might be some sort of Irish thing...

I knew that... sort of. What's the difference between that and "Ia vas lublu"?
Danke,
Tom
