learn chinese the easy way!

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Here's a Kintyre version :

It's a horruvva de the de---------The weather is rather inclement
He's taken a fanyach--------------The man has taken a fall
That's wile 'n good-----------------That is excellent
He's baraxied and paralettic------I think that chap is inebbriated
He's taken a turravee tae himsel'----The chap who took the "fanyach" has got up and fallen over again
Hoots hepnin' the de--------------Do you have any plans for later?

"It's a horruvva de the de. Hey look at that chap. He's baraxied and paralettic! Woops.. He's taken a fanyach...oh, no! Now he's taken a turravee tae himsel'... yud think he was in acrobatics. Hoots henin' the de?" "I'm going to get baraxied and paralettic and practice my turraveein, too." "That's wile 'n good! I'll join you."

Some say that the easiest way to learn a language is to visualise it, Bobbie

Boy i started my current job with went to work in the Toon took him a while to understand that

Hoots hepnin in tescays --- meant ---- did something happen in the tesco store

and

nahin's hepnin in tescays meant --- meant --- nothing happened in the tesco store

[ionnsaigh]

I thought a fanyach was someone aff their heid

[Ship called Dignity]

I thought a fanyach was someone aff their heid

I actually thought a fanyach was some who took a poulooorri or going droll!

Wile'n tame cat

[Surfbored]

Isn't Tescays actually Tescuz.

Also, if someone asks "hoots hepnin?', the standard response is "naethin"

[4th gen Suthen']

I know pulooori an' gan droll but dont think I've ever heard, or used, fanyyach.

[ionnsaigh]

I think fanyach comes from the Tarbert area?

[The Hitman]

Well .. I talk.

A campbeltown woman was proudly walking through tesco's the other day pushing a pram when she bumped into an old friend.

"Oh my God!, how are you, long time no see!! And you've had a little baby boy, aw he's lovely! Whats he called?"

"Nathan." His mother replied

The woman was aghast, "Ye canna call him Nathin, ye will have to call him something! Poor wee soul, getting brought up withoot a name!!!"

And another thing. As I say Hoot when the "English version is what" how come when I asked for a packet of cheesy hootsits and 6 hunerr hoot light bulbs no-one knew what I was on about.

Nederlands is ook best moeilijk blijkbaar, voor mensen die geen Nederlands kennen natuurlijk. Bijkomende moeilijkheid is dat er nu twee officiële spellingen in omloop zijn. Gelukkig kennen de meeste Nederlanders wel Engels!

[Pete Reek]
