Teach me your language I teach you mine

[evisu donna]

Ok, thank you!!

Well, I'm trying to find out the name of the song in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csb7VBV64jU
The 2nd song, it's from 1:24 till 2:30...

Maybe if you don't know it, could you put some parts of the lyrics here or something, so I can search on that? I really have no clue on how to find it...

I didn't know the song, but I googled the lyrics and its called 'Bate Lata' by a band called Banda Beijo. I know you'll probably won't understand them, but here are the lyrics:

Era um menino tocador
Que dispensou o Agôgô
E o tambor prá tocar lata
Do Tá Tá Tá ele gostou
Do Tum Tum Tum ele adorou
E muito mais
Do Rá Tá Tá Tá...(2x)

Quer aprender
Pegue a latinha
E bate uma na outra
Tchá Tchá, Tchá Tchá
Segure o Reggae
Não sossegue
Se entregue
A essa viagem louca
Louca, louca
Quer aprender
Pegue a latinha
E bate uma na outra
Tchá Tchá, Tchá Tchá
Segure o Reggae
Não sossegue
Se entregue
A essa viagem louca...

Venha de lata negão
No meio da multidão
Se não tem lata improvisa
Bate na palma da mão...(2x)

Quer aprender
Pegue a latinha
E bate uma na outra
Tchá Tchá, Tchá Tchá
Segure o Reggae
Não sossegue
Se entregue
A essa viagem louca
Louca, louca
Quer aprender
Pegue a latinha
E bate uma na outra
Tchá Tchá, Tchá Tchá
Segure o Reggae
Não sossegue
Se entregue
A essa viagem louca...

(Repete)

How do you say 'dye tag' in French? I just use dye tag every day... but I find it too familiar to use it in a text.

lol. what's dye tag? For dye you can say colorant........

 

[La bordélique]

The security dye tags... that you attach to clothes that you buy. I think in French it's just étiquette de sécurité? Sounds weird... but that's cause I never use it.

 

[gius]

perhaps tag, hang tag or label... ^

i think you can say "antivol"
i think that's how they call this ...
but maybe that's too late ...

how do you say "don`t show off " in french?

ne fais pas le beau / la belle ... but that's common language ... but i cannot think of anything else at the moment ... ah si ! ne fais pas le crâneur .... is what french kids say (well used to say i guess ... because in 2008, i don't know what they say and would be scared to hear it anyway)
Ella, i really doubt that was a great idea to learn some f*** words to impress your teacher .... seriously !

 

[TommyGirl]

I this topic has already gone little further, but I want to teach you little Finnish. So I start with words mentioned in the beginnng:

Hello= Hei, Moi, Terve ( many ways to say this )
Love= Rakkaus
Fashion= Muoti
Cool = cool is used jus t as cool, but other words are: viilee, siisti, makee

 

[Susanna-Cole]

This is kind of a long shot, but does anyone speak Swahili here? I'd like to know how to say, "pray for peace" in Swahili, is it, "sali kwa amani", or is that wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

[getpalmd]

I speak Finnish and Swedish, so I'm up for a trade ;-) I know the basics of Spanish and German.

 

[cattelia]

I'm half persian, and yet I speak very very litte farsi.
In fact it's embarrasing. I can count, say colours, say thank you for dinner but I can't say "My name is..." Anyone knows?

 

[gius]

any idea how to say thank you
if you are at a japanese shop/service ??

for example if they give you your coffee, do you say doumo arigatou or arigatou gozaimash!ta?
or if you are at a restaurant and finished your meal, about to leave...

 

[Ella-Picobella]

I speak finnish, swedish and german all more or less fluent

 

[valentinavee]

French:
Tu me manques! = I miss you!
Bisous = Kisses
Si, arrives-tu a l'ecole, tu etudierais. = If you arrive at school, you will study.

Danish:
Jo = Yes
Jeg er torst = I am thirsty
Jeg elsker dig = I love you

 

[La bordélique]

French:
Si, arrives-tu a l'ecole, tu etudierais. = If you arrive at school, you will study.

My syntax is not 100% correct in French even though it's my first language but I'd rather say this:

Si tu arrives à l'école, tu étudieras.

 

[tortoisie]

I have two questions:

1. Italian
​

Is it true that 'fornarina' mean 'little bakeress'?

Thanks!

2. Swedish
​

Is "I want it and I want it NOW!" translated as "Jag vill ha det och jag vill ha det NUUUU!"? I want to make sure the emphasis is on the word "now", is that the right word order?

Tack!

 

[TheKiwi]

Would any Danish speakers like to give me some lessons? Maybe we could be email buddies?

I'm trying to pick up the language again. I used to live in DK as a child but have lost my Danish. I want to learn to speak it again!

That lyric is very difficult to understand for people who doesn't live in Brazil, it has a lot of words that you can't translate to other languages

 

[maria paula]

Heeyy there!
I'm doing a translation ( from English to French) but i don't seem to understand something...
Does anybody know what a "sterner test" is??
Thank you thank you!
