    Languages are funny. Russian has genders, but you can really easily identify them for most nouns, and the exceptions aren't too awful. But then it has cases, and they're horrendously confusing at first.

    Brainboy is AWOL. I should really go to the library and find a German speaker there.

    More an insight into the weeks love-making in the Stefansen boudoir.

    German- rugged and inflexible
    English- fast and practical
    French- polite and sweet
    Spanish- whiny and pompous
    Italian- poetic and rhetorical
    Wow...
    Aside from the negative connections in there let's just leave it at: no, you're wrong...

    Unless you'd like to dispute this in the form of a rhetorical poem...

    lol... too bad German is a remarkably flexible language.

    I also can't believe you just called the French polite while you called the Spanish pompous.

    i-Dye-iot?
    Are you still afraid of the CIA, FBI, NSA?

    Also it's said "ritardato" as in "ritardato mentale"...That's what Deckard meant to say, not that you're tardy...

    I hate to break this to you, but it's the same here. This is a forum run by a privately owned business. It's not America, there is no protected freedom of speech here.

    For example I like the German language and I think of it as a very sweet and romantic language.
    One word: "Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung". I didn't make this up.

    What I love about Italian is how a potty ugly word like "Viertürer" (Four-door) becomes a piece of art: "Quattroporte".

    Except the south of Italy, right? Bunch of idiots giving the whole country a bad name?

    I don't think this is really the direction poor old RedSparrows envisaged this thread would go...

    Now I remember about you. The Italian who lives in Switzerland with probable origins of southern Italy.
    you who understand Italian, take a walk on the Italian forum and tell me what you think about it. Certainly give me reason

    or maybe not. as you gave me no reason speaking about southern Italy, even though you know the reality of that place
    See? This is what I mean...
    When you first appeared on this forum you started to say that the south of Italy gave the whole country a bad name...I said it wasn't true, so you assumed I lived in the south...
    I explained I live in the north at about 20 minutes from the Swiss border (in Italy) and now you assume I have "probable origins" from the south (I don't)...

    You come here because you're banned from eurogamer.it and whine about not being accepted whilst still seeing the south of our country as inferior...
    How about you migrate again to the romantic eurogamer.de? Google translate works in German too you know...
