haha....well thanks. I wasn't trying to call you out. I've just seen that expression used here on VGC a bunch and I know english messes a lot of stuff up. To me it seems very wrong, but i also know that with my limited spanish that I create phrases in spanish that don't work and its because I'm trying to use english rules. I think the main difference is that in english our nouns don't have to agree with our adjectives. That creates a whole lot of confusion by itself. English has taken and stolen from so many languages along the way that we play by our own set of rules and I feel bad for any non-notive speakers trying to learn our frankenstein language. |
I understand. You point will help me in the future as a memorisation thing, so I won't make the the mistake again.
And I understand how it is hard to write or speak in another language which doesn't work as the same way your native language does. English is my 3rd language and before this one I have 2 other languages that doesn't follow the same rules. Neither does my 5th language actually, which is japanese, and where everything is context.
