Can't speak to the French, but while working for Uncle Sam I was required to get some learnin' in German. Talk about some tough language to understand!!Murfreesboro wrote: That's funny, about how accustomed your have become to the Spanish term. And interesting about the translation. I have studied several languages, but not Spanish. I hear it is very subtle the longer you study it. That is, I have always heard that French starts out hard and gets easier, whereas Spanish starts out easy and gets harder.
I learned just enough German to get myself in trouble. The trouble with German is....Speak it for 5 minutes and you have an incredible urge to invade Poland!
Not only are there subtleties in Spanish, the actual meaning of a word may differ from country to country. Weird but true!
