What if you two have a real-time conversation through some free internet telephony system (I know skype for example)?
There’s also another way: I’ll try to find some Danish forum and post your sentences that initiated your “Croatian” argument there and ask if there’s something wrong with them. What if both are correct and it’s just another example how different native speakers disagree about the usage of their language :) .
Even if they meet in person, Vendor will maintain that the Croat sent some Danish hotty to trick him. :-) I cannot see any lapse in that logic, though, it is perfectly OK.
....and share my sexy glottal stops with Mr. Grumphy Bear ..... no way, he hasnt earned that :lol: :wink:Quote:

You know, there was this bloke here once who pretended to be Norwegian but confronted with the errors he'd made in his posts he changed his tactics - he started to pose as a Saami shepherd or something. Naive that he was he was soon exposed again - Now, Saami is a rare language but it isn't impossible to find educated native speakers of it, which I did and the little dunlop tyre left the forum in shame.Quote:

I'm sorry, Croatian lad, I have perfectly good reasons to trust his judgement. I'm seldom wrong and when I am wrong I readily admit it. In this case, however, you're the one who's feeding us BS and I'm the one who's exposed your lies.Quote:
Either you really do think Im croatian, which is absolutely insane or you allready know Im not, but are to stubborn to admit you were wrong.
:lol: .. this is very amusing for me but isn't the purpose of language to communicate? Do you really think people can follow stuff like that?Quote:

There's someone at this other forum nicknamed "VendingMachine". He also posts to three more forums. Allegedly he comes from Botswana. That's what his profiles say. I'm that person. My proof is that the profile says the same: VendingMachine. Unfortunately, the location is different I'm not from Botswana, I'm from St Pete, Russia. So you can say that I took that person's nick. Borrowed, stole, whatever. But so did you, my stubborn Croatian lad. Just how does some Danish girl's profile at some obscure forum prove that you're that very same person? Sorry, lad, you're Croatian all the same.
You know, I can do a little search round internet forums and "borrow" some poor git's nickname and open an account here and then refer to that poor git's profile as "proof" of my identity. :lol: :lol: :lol: I've never laughed so heartily in all my born days, Khalida. We're not stupid here, Khalida, we see your moves before you even think of making them.
Why do you think he's Croatian? :D
For ****'s sake, man, scroll up and read my posts, I've explained this a thousand times already.Quote:

I've just ICQ'd the Khalida from that Pravda forum - she has never heard of masterrussian, which means - you guessed it - that that Khalida has nothing to do with our Khalida. It's a fair cop, innit, my dear Croatian friend? Probably you overlooked the ICQ field in that profile and so did I the first time I glanced at it. It was when I decided to study it a bit more carefully that I discovered that there was an ICQ number (whoops, my dear friend, whoops) there and naturally I contacted that person and that person turned out to be someone else. Naturally, I triumphed.
Bla bla bla :lol:Quote:

Stay away form Icelandic, if ease is your purpose.Finnish? HA! Beautiful language, but grammatically the most difficult language I've ever experienced.Unless you're Hungarian (or Turkish, which uses suffixes and stuffs letters in THE MIDDLE of word, of all places), then Finnish is a no go zone for ease of learning.
Previous persons here (quite a way back) said they thought Danish was a gorgeous language.Then others responded saying it was ugly.Well me? I think they're both right.In the right mouth, it's smooth and without abrupt sounds.Hence I agree that "Native Danish women sound sexy".But in the wrong mouth, people can sound (forgive political incorrectness) like they're retarded, especially when they shout.Because it is a mumbled language.It's the most touch-and-go, as far as aesthetics.I find that sometimes, I feel beauty when speaking it.Other times, I catch myself sounding mentally handi-capped.
I'm sure Danes would think it's quite funny people saying Danish pronunciation is hard.Because in fact, its really a lazier/minimal, therefore easier, version of the rest of Germanic language prounciation.The difficulty lays more in telling the difference bewteen two word that sound the same.It takes less energy to speak, but take more enrgy to listen.Swedish, English and German would be the total opposite.More energy to say the hard consonants, but easier to hear them when someone spits those consonants at you.I can't imagine many people in Denmark complaining "My teacher/friend/sister spits when they speak".
I know a person who's Danish and I'd rather ask for directions in Wales than have that guy make a speech in front of me.Quote:
