What Language... - CoasterBuzz

Eeeekkk.... what it says is not good... it's basically says "You S---", meaning a derogatory term.

Yeah, thanks. I'll have to tell my teacher that she's wrong because she taught us that, must be a literal translation that I have. There has to be other buzzers out there...

Actually I think both ways are right. In a spanish dictionary it said rollercoaster is montana rusa. But on a website and also from my friends spanish teacher, they say it is coaster del rodillo and that montana rusa means russian mountain. But I think technically to people who speak spanish a russian mountain is another term for rollercoaster since coasters were originated from russian ice slides.

I speak only enough Vietnamese to order food from restaurants in the city....

Hello sister/brother/father/uncle...I would like...bad reading from menu...I can count to four (mot,hai,bah?,bun) and say thank you and you're welcome. That's about it.

Various Vietnamese folk have tried to teach me more, but I'm just too thick.

Funny tale: The last person to give me a 'Vietnamese lesson' was a woman who immediately went straight to "You are so kind....you are very nice....I like you a lot....you are very pretty..." I thought to myself, okayyyyy....why don't you introduce me to your niece already?

Just read my last post. Or just read this (my last post):

Spanish: Montana Rusa (Translation: Russian Mountain)

Like I said, my Spanish is bad. :)

LocoBazooka--Sevendust, Nonpoint, Stereo Vent, Mushroomhead
Korn Tour (With no name)--Korn, Puddle of Mudd, Deadsy

English is my one fluent language (although even then, I've been able to fool other people into thinking it's a second language...)

However I know bits and pieces of many languages... Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese), Korean, Tagalog/Filipino, Spanish, French, and a small small amount of Russian.

I know just enough Russian to be able to live in Russia: Comrade, Potato, and Vodka. "Comrade" - I'll always have friends; "Potato" - I'll always have some food; and "Vodka" - I'll always have a drink :)

Dutch as my first language
English, German, French, (+ a very difficult Dutch dialect named Fries) all fluent.
Then there's Spanish, Italian, a little bit of Thai and Indonesian. Enough to make clear to people what I want or need after a lot of hand gestures and pointing at things.
Ow, and Nasai, i do happen to speak the Bastard dialect of all these languages too!

oh.. well actually (without meaning to be picky or anything) I guess that should read:

Werner Stengel: Ich spreche, denke und träume Achterbahn!

greetings, supimän

Rollercoaster is rutchebane in Danish lol. I speak Danish, English, German & I understand Swedish and Norwegian (they're nearly the same as Danish, Finnish is the only Scandinavian language that's not similar to the others)

Aren't rollercoasters "Russian Mountains" in German?

English, a decent amount of Spanish, and I've (unfortunately) been exposed to various bits of 'ACEer.'

Isn't Finnish actually *strangely* related to Hungarian (?), I think I remember hearing that from a friend who knows TOO many languages....anybody that lives with reindeer has got to be tough to make it through the eternal Winter...

"Russian Mountains" is kind of like Xerox, there IS a real word for photocopy, but c'mon, when there's only one company in the business, what's the difference....

Finally, SeederPoint....*thinking* that if you have Israeli roots, maybe your SN ought to be SederPoint...
