2 AnswersSoftware10 years agoAny language sites like this?
I wanted to know if anyone knew any sites where considerably-sized texts are compared/translated in multiple languages? I figured if they showed a lot of translations and let us take it apart and learn why something is translated a certain way it'd help us find out how the language works so we can know what to study to speak like a native.
1 AnswerLanguages10 years agoHow to deal with this?
I talked this guy I kinda like out of suicide and started to go out with him... after about a day he started demanding sexual stuff...
If I don't keep going out with him he might commit suicide but if I do it will get way too hard...
I'm practically asexual too. :/
Any suggestions? When I told him I'm not very sexual he said our relationship wouldn't work out and got depressed. I actually do like him, he's a great person, I just don't know how to deal with this.
No answered in the dating section but since it's a gay relationship I though I'd find help here.

2 AnswersOther - Hardware1 decade agoHow to get a cat out of a floor?
My cat went missing yesterday and today we started hearing meows throughout the front of our house and when I went into the master bedroom I heard meowing and I put my ear to the floor and could clearly hear my cat. The sound followed so I'm certain she's on another floor level within the floor. I have no access to a phone right now so I can't call someone who could help or the fire department so so far my only idea is to wait until someone who knows what to do gets here.
2 AnswersCats1 decade agoWhich is more difficult; Cherokee or Polish?
I am part Polish, Celtic and Cherokee so I thought I'd learn my native languages. I've decided to do them in sort of a difficulty order. I figured that Gaelic wouldn't be as difficult compared to Polish and Cherokee but I can't choose between the two.
4 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoA random language to learn?
I figured I should try to explore new languages. Unless I get a real oddball language or one where the writing system does not accurately describe pronunciation I should be able to go with my plan.
I have a language plan and I want to try to see how quickly I can reach basic fluency in a language.
The problem is; I'm indecisive.
So:
Nothing real oddball; I doubt I can learn a crazy South American or African language like !Xoõ or something.
Something with a good writing system-pronunciation correlation; I don't mean it has to be simple, I'll even accept character languages, I just mean nothing where a small variation where the alphabet doesn't even tell you will change the meaning. I don't even mean tones; I mean something where I have to listen to every single word for a pronunciation so I can get bulk amounts of Vocab from a dictionary.
Don't say French or Spanish; I got those already. I have some very simple knowledge in a lot of languages, not basic fluency yet though so I'll accept those.
5 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoHow to overcome irrational fear of mind readers?
I seriously have an irrational fear of mind readers...
I constantly try to control my thoughts just because I think it would be weird for someone to know what I'm thinking (I don't think inappropriately, I would just feel embarrassed to say most of the things I think since I think it's stupid.)
It's really starting to bug me though...

Which uses all the cases?
I figure if I have an example like this I'll have something to look back at, if it's not possible (I haven't memorized what all the cases were and I don't know how hard it would be to fit a lot like that into a sentence) could you please give me a few?
1 AnswerLanguages1 decade agoDoes Spanish follow the "B.A.G.S." rule?
I speak French and English, and I'm learning Spanish. I found the grammar rules pretty similar to French but since French has a lot of exceptions I double check to make sure that certain things apply to both. The other day in Spanish class my teacher was talking about adjectives and when he said that adjectives go after the noun I asked what the exceptions were (in French there's the BAGS rules, Beauty, age, good/bad, and size) and he said beauty and size where and he continued to think of more without any luck so I asked if beauty, age, good/bad and size where them and he didn't know. Any help?
6 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoWhat language should I learn?
I've asked this several times and never come to a conclusion.
Please, make a good answer with a good reason.
My dilemma is that I can never choose a language I want to learn, the only language I've been able to sit myself down and learn was French, and now I can't think of what I'll do next.
