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 🌼
@Mandie108 I can speak Balti, Urdu, English, and to some extent, French.
In Balti, for flower, we use "Mindoq", "Snam" for sky, and " Ringchan" for Dearest (quite a poetic collection of words :p)
(Fun fact: Balti and Mandarin have originated from the same linguistic roots)
@MeilleureAmie
Hi there, that is super cool 😮
I didn’t know that Balti and Mandarin share the same linguistic roots, thank you for sharing that super cool fact!!
@Mandie108 Pleasure's mine 💗^^
@MeilleureAmie
Wow. Thanks for sharing!
@trueconfidant123 You're so welcome 💗
Hello! I speak Spanish. Anyone here speak Spanish to?
@mard993
Hello! @Luli26 was looking for another Spanish speaker actually! You can reach out to them if you’d like :)
@Mandie108 how far
Shu hada maskhara ? Arabic. What's this joke ?
@bluetinkerbell1616
Hmm, I don’t know 😅 Google Translate did not do a good job when I typed the joke in haha
😂this expression is very common in the UAE. Depending on the tone, it can mean "What's wrong with you?", "Are you kidding?", "What', the joke about " or "What is this?" If it's said in anger, it can come across as a stronger expression of frustration or disapproval, but the tone and context make the difference.
