Languages!
Hello everyone!
What languages can you all speak, and could you teach us one word from one of the languages you speak?
I’ll start: flower in Mandarin is 花 🌼
I speak English and Spanish, but I grew up around German and was married to someone who spoke Russian, Yiddish and Hebrew so I learned some of that. I also studied Japanese and know a few things in Ukrainian, Vietnamese and Cambodian.
Oishii means delicious in Japanese. I love that word.
@TovaCares76
Wowwwww!!! That is so many languages and cultures 😮
Oishii is such a fun word, I love it! Thank you so much for sharing :)
I speak Portuguese (mother language), English and Spanish.
Hello is "olá" in Portuguese and "hola" in Spanish.
Whats your name is "como te chamas?" in Portuguese and "como te llamas? " in Spanish
@HonestlyPeachy
Very cool! There seems to be many similarities between Portuguese and Spanish 😮 Thank you for sharing :)
@Mandie108 They're sibling languages
Ooohh I see, thank you for letting me know :)
I have learned a little Portuguese! My Spanish professor always made sure we knew similar phrases. I also love Bossa Nova music so I'd love to learn more!
I speak Dutch, English and some German, French and Norwegian.
I love the word 'levensvreugde' in Dutch. It means 'the joy of being alive'. Always makes me smile when I hear someone say it!

@Mandie108 Swahili: Habari yako rafiki yangu? Translates to "How re you my friend?"
