Language, Part II

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 3:35 am

I want to know what languages everyone speaks just for my own reference. I am also curious of the german to american ratio. (Could someone please translate this message into german for me?)

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 3:37 am

What?! Both option didn't register, so if you speak both, just pick your native language.

Cuderon · Post by **Cuderon** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 4:36 am

I speak german mainly.
But the german/american ratio isn´t possible. I think we have many players from the U.K., Asia and Canada here. So this poll wouldn´t show you how many people are from the USA (not America, America is more than the USA

).
Better ask who speaks english, german or both. Or even other languages.

I also speak a "petit peut" french.

Au revoir,

----------------------------------------------------------

Paul Laffing würde gerne, nur zu eigenen Zwecken, wissen, was für Sprachen ihr sprecht. Auch ist er neugierig, wie es um das deutsch/amerikanisch Verhältnis bestellt ist. Also nicht das politische, sondern das Vorhandensein in Illarion.

There, got the "other" option to work.

This poll is going to be English dominated... those that speak only german might not know what you are talking about... Just a thought.

I speak american english and german and of course a littel bit france but i would say that is different is for geman player plays good rp also when you meet an germany player and he or her plays something differen or speaks german this can have different reasons dond't think you will be ignore.

da nun schon einige darauf hinwiesen das sie beide sprachen beherrschen und es dennoch keine übersetzung des ersten postings gibt *g* mache ich das mal schnell (auch wenns warscheinlich nicht wirklich nötig sein wird ^^).

Paul möchte einfach wissen welche sprache ihr da draussen denn so beherrscht. soll heissen, ist eure muttersprache deutsch, klickt german an, ist sie englisch, dann braucht ihr diese übersetzung nicht *gggg*.

Cuderon Translated it to Deutsch. And looking at the polls, you can see that.

Setherioth · Post by **Setherioth** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:19 am

Galim was just translating your poll for the German people telling them what to do... I think

lol

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:29 am

hmmmmmm... Cuderon, translate Galim's message for me

Setherioth · Post by **Setherioth** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:34 am

lol i'm pretty sure that was the general idea of it, i just might have missed some minor things said. My german isn't very good. heh

Finnish, English and I do have some knowledge of Swedish.

Mishrack · Post by **Mishrack** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 1:03 pm

Hmm... Polish is way to hard

Serpardum · Post by **Serpardum** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 3:07 pm

Yeah, I'm really glad I wasn't born in Poland. I wouldn't know what anyone was saying.

Galim · Post by **Galim** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 3:34 pm

@paul
i have translated your first posting into german, nothing else. punctilliously i wrote: some member have wrote already that they speak both languages nevertheless no one have translated pauls posting. therefore i will translate it.

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 10:09 pm

I wasn't born in poland, my father was. (i know my family history out of game almost as well as in

). My grandfather spoke Polish, german and russian (only spoke german and russian because he was in german and russian POW camps ((captain in the polish army)) )

Sorry, I'm rambling again.

Boremier · Post by **Boremier** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 10:24 pm

I don't think your rambling.

Denkan · Post by **Denkan** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 10:55 pm

I can speak german (native), english (with a heavy german "sound"

), a little bit italian and a few turkish words (I tried to learn turkish in preparation for my trip to Istanbul (Did I mention that Istanbul has 20 million inhabitants?.

))

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 11:12 pm

I personally speak a little polish, a drop of spanish, a tiny hebrew, not to much german... Oh, and did i forget english?

Setherioth · Post by **Setherioth** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 11:14 pm

I am only fluent in english

know some french and a bit of german though,

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 11:14 pm

Only 3 people speak both?

Mishrack · Post by **Mishrack** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 11:47 pm

If you mean both by "other" then it would seem so. "Other" tends to mean things not in the líst, and is usually in singular. As both german and english is in, people just choose their mother thongue...

Roke · Post by **Roke** » Thu Jan 23, 2003 12:41 am

It would have been better to say "Which of the following languages do you speak while playing Illarion" and have options "English only, German only or both"

Josefine da Vince · Post by **Josefine da Vince** » Thu Jan 23, 2003 2:03 am

Well, I speak german (native) and english almost fluent. I also spaek a little bit french, but not so good. What a pity, its such a pretty language.
