i wish i lived in the uk, i'm hoping i can do some graduate work there

i've been watching peep show and most of the time it makes me want to live there

i drink enough tea to be british

my family is actually pretty traditional. great grandmother from scotland, great grandfather from england. feels weird to kind of represent both groups and not hate either of them.

3 different scripts/alphabet too .

Iran is definitely not as bad as the western media makes it look like (in fact, it's probably thousand times better than what most people on this board think its like), but still not a country I wanted to live in. The culture shock of moving from Italy never wore off for me.


It's not an easy language, yeah. Well, it's easier than Japanese and Russian I'd say, but compared to like, Italian (which is probably the easiest language ever) it's fairly complicated. Like, many letters have different versions, such as 3 "s" and 4 "z"s and you need to know which one to use;
حیاط = this word is read hayaat and means "courtyard".
حیات = this word is also read hayaat but means "life".

Another thing that is weird/difficult in Farsi is that three of the vowels, A, E and O are not written. For example, if I want to write "mana" in Farsi, I write "mn". You could read that as mena, mona, mane, mene, mone, .... You have to figure out which way to read it via context.

It's not as insane as it sounds, but it's usually the most difficult thing for foreigners trying to learn Farsi.


Dari? I assume you're from an Afghan/Pakistani heritage then?

There are many Afghanis in Iran but most of them speak Pashto I think, which is a little different. But the Farsi they speak is definitely Dari, which I understand easily

Fenix.: You are so bloody cool.

As a Human and True citizen of the US, I know that.
Bloody politics.

Newfoundland, Canada. We have the worst weather in the world.

And since we're on languages, I did a ton of french throughout school (obviously) and minored in Russian at University, while also dabbling lightly in Latin and Greek.

Im born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden, I believe there is a town in the US with the same name that was named by a swede dunno witch state though.

oh ye there it is

I wouldnt mind learning Polish, it would be nice to write grim black metal lyrics in the language of my ancestry.

One of my favorite Death metal bands are from poland, Vader. Although they make their songs in english.

The best death metal album is from Death Metal Album.
I saw someone in the Death Metal Album store and they just touched it and they died!
Awesome!!!
(slowly walks away from thread...)

what if you use gloves? could you use it as a weapon of mass Death then?

I think you mean for the loss.

this snow rocks.
look how beautiful this **** where i grew up is

We also want Michigan, Washington and most of the Alaska Panhandle.

Vader is awesome. you should post in the music thread, sir!
