Re:Burlap??? (y swap meet)
Matias Burlap 062305
Hola Matias,
Burlap es una tipa de arpillera menos tupida y de color marrón. Lo suelen usar para llevar papas y tales cosas.
No sé como se dice "swap meet" en español. Mi diccionario dice que es un mercadillo, pero esto no es cierto exactamente. Es un lugar muy grande sin techo donde mucha gente pueden alquilar espacio para vender cosas como manualidades, cosas que se puede coleccionar, y otras cosas muy raras y muy económicas. Así que tal vez el "swap meet" es bien parecido al mercadillo, pero jamás lo he visto en los calles. Lo tenemos uno en California del Sur que hubo desde hace muchos decenios en un lugar que antes era un autocine. ¿Crees que "mercadillo" será la mejor palabra en español para describir eso?
Felicidades,

I would like to know what does that word mean, because i couldn't find it in the english dictionary (Is it an english word?). I read it in Nirvana "swap meet" lyrics. Also, what does "swap meet" in spanish? I guess it means "Encuentro para discuciones" o sea, cuando personas arreglan para encontrarse y discutir.
Thanks.

Re:anybody fluent in italian?
Hi Stephanie, I'm an Italian native speaker and I think I can help you with your Italian :) I can speak and write in English but I'm not very good at it so we may help each other :) Unfortunately I'm not a gold member, so we could use this bb or the text chat. Ciao!

Re:Help me I will help you
Ciao Mandi, io sono italiana e, se vuoi, posso aiutarti un po'.
You are going to be a very young bride, really! I think Italy can be a smashing country to go to on a honeymoon, some places are so romantic! Are you coming to Venice too? I live not so far and, trust me, it's worth coming. Please, feel free to ask anything you need and I'll try to help.
Lesson one: è stato bello conoscerti, spero di risentirti presto!
Meeting you was nice, I hope to hear from you again soon!
Ciao!

Re:Re:Re:I'll teach English in return for Italian
Hi Damon! Thanks! Of course, I can help you with verbs, I know they're very difficult because of the huge number of exceptions... I think unless you know Latin you'll just have to keep making exercise until they come naturally to your mind. There's a sort of evolution in language here...conjunctive form (one of the most frightening I suppose, with conditional as well) is slowly disappearing, but in such contexts as university or work you're supposed to make good use of the language :)
For example, hearing something like "se lo sapevo non ci andavo" instead of "se lo avessi saputo non ci sarei andato/a" is quite common. This was just to say that you're not alone in your struggle :D

Re:Strangest Translation Ever
A direct translation in Finnish would be: "Vaara. Veneitä ei ole, kun zombit tulevat." However, if this is a text in a warning sign, terse style is in order, for example: "Varoitus! Ei veneitä zombien tullessa."
