As I was interested in Gkatar’s comment on “Happy New Year!”, I checked out mine and my neighbor languages about it by online-dictionaries.
- 彼はジョンだ。彼は東京にいる。(Japanese)
- 他是约翰。他在东京。(Chinese)
- 그는 지역이다. 그는 도쿄에있다.(Korean)
- เขาคือจอห์น เขาอยู่ในโตเกียว(Thai)
- Он Джон. Он находится в Токио.(Russian)
How different my neighbor languages are!!
On the other hand,
- He is John. He is in Tokyo. (English)
- Él es John. Él está en Tokio. (Spanish)
- Lui è John. Lui è in Tokyo. (Italian)
- Il est John. Il est à Tokyo. (French)
- Er ist John. Er ist in Tokio. (German)
- Hann er John. Hann er í Tokyo. (Icelandic)
- Han er John. Han er i Tokyo. (Norwegian)
- Han är John. Han är i Tokyo. (Swedish)
- Hän on John. Hän on Tokiossa. (Finnish)
How similar they are!! They look more the dialects of A language than various sorts of languages.
When I began to learn English, it was very difficult for me. Still now.
By the way, I’ve registered for the Facebook. 🙂
