I'm a native dutch speaker, and fluent in French and English. I can get by in German (mostly due to similarity with Dutch), and I know the 20 most popular words in Anime japanese  . Most sexy, yeah that would definitely be French, but it depends quite a lot on the dialect and tone used. (just listen to the Merovingian curse in French.. ) I vote British English as a second. There's something to be said for the soft, quiet and well-spoken tones of the Elizabethean language, not to mention its almost inexhaustible vocabulary. US english, I'm sorry, but it's ugly by comparison. Some Americans sound as if they have a fishhook stukc in the corner of their mouth and someone is pulling on it. As for Dutch (and by extension German) yeah, Van Fanel is right: it sounds like Klingon.. Cheers, Pisceska |

Well, I don't speak many languages. Im a Chinese so I can speak a bit of Mandarin. Sicne I live in Indonesia, I can speak Indonesian. ENglish is taught at school, that's how I can speak English (I have talent in learning English ^_^) When I had a Finnish bf, I managed to learn some Finnish language. BUt when he dumped me, I dumped my Finnish learning too. Now, Im thinking of learning Spanish coz I met a nice Spanish man. If he turns out to be my next bf, I will learn Spanish with all my heart  If he's not, then I will delay learning it |

Namasté or Namaskar (नमस्ते [nʌmʌsˈteː] in Nepali and Hindi (from internal sandhi between namaḥ and te) is an Indian greeting or parting phrase as well as a gesture. Taken literally, it means "I bow to you". The word is derived from Sanskrit (namas): to bow, obeisance, reverential salutation, and (te): "to you"
And I thought namaste is Thai LOL

@Mel: Yeah, just bust it up  So it looks mroe clearly Make me look cute and CHinese looking (but pls dont make my eyes too squinted coz Im not ^_^) Draw me with a handsome hunky muscular man ok? - ENdy blushes I've read somewhere that Anak is name for a god or something? Thus making Anakin Skywalker 'evil' coz the name came from an ancient god's anme? I read it in fanatic christian website which condemns Star Wars... ANak means child here. So if u said, "Anakku" it emans "my child" |

@Mel: That depends on the language... But in this context, Anak here means Child.
Eeewww... it's surely horrible to be given the name XXX's Child if your parent's name is XXX.
