  1. Black : Still, it is an achievment I would like to see coming from myself And countries can be created within older ones... But you need to be independant
  2. Hi back to an old one, from a new one (If I did correctly understand Yukiko-chan)
  3. In Quebec, we pronouce them as full consonants not as a mere diphtongue As for sounding, I wasn't sure, but I'm sure about the nasals.
  4. It's because C is a purely latin letter. They used to both represent the same sound (and indeed K an C look somehow alike), but Socrates is greek (at least, Athenian), not latin (Same remark on Klisthenes) (The latin c developped to be more like ts, later tsh, and even sometimes sh, in some positions)
  5. If you're speaking of Verlan, I indeed do not speak that odd French-like language. To strange to my ears As for the differences between Quebec's French and France's French, their are mostly regarding phonetics. But we also continued on the developpement of the language know as French. Actually, Chuis is just a normal contraction of Je suis. Some people don't even say the last i (but I do, being of an old school). So every Quebecois actually knows two languages : French and Joual. Even the normal French we speak differently. We distinguish more sounds. At least five nasals where msot French people distinguish up to 3. I also noted that we have diphtongs in Quebec (more in Montreal than in Quebec City), which in normative French isn't possible. We distinguish between more voyels : Jeu J'eus Je aren't pronouced alike, the last being slightly longer. tas t'as as well. (Moreover, it seems that because of my English background, I distinguish more sounds that most people... I have clear voyels (as in French) but they are sometimes too clear (because I can distinguish a lot of differences))
  6. I would like to Be : HISTORY 1. Timur Lang (best known as Tamerlan to Westerners like us). He was the King of Samarkand, the Chief city on the Silk Way. Full of culture and cultures, creat arabic an chinese old music, full of treasures and uniqueness, and a great Kingdom to explore. 2. Sokrates (best known as Socrates to us). He was just so a great philosopher. He's one of the greatest Wiseman of all time. A would place him actually above all, for he knew something that noone else knew before him : "I know that nothing I know" 3. Ramses II : He was a great Egyptian Pharaon, and ruled quite well. (Note that he spoke about Habiru in his scrolls, like an invading people.) 4. Klisthenes (Clisthenes) : He is who at last proclaimed Democraty in Athens. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than nothing, and he made The Step. (Drako and Solon only being steps to democraty) MYTHOS 1. Hellenic traditions : Odysseus (Ulysse) of Ithaque, for he was I think the greatest man ever. Not because of great deeds (he did something really wrong, not thanking the gods that helped him during the Illiade), but because he wanted to live and made so as he could. He was the most human among heroes. 2. Tolkien : Faramir II Prince of Ithilien Stuart to Elessar Telcontar. He was wise and cheerful, and was very patient. He was a good Loremaster as well as a great Swordsman. A true Numenatan. ORDINARY PEOPLE 1. Merchant on the Silk Road or Spice Road, as they visited a lot of country. 2. Citizen of Rome, during the Pax Romana, to go whereever I would like to, without bothering. 3. A smith : To make to myself beautiful waepons. What's funny about this is that I could actually be the three at the same time
  7. 1 - Learn whatever I can learn, and get on touch whatever I cross by, if there is something to learn there. 2 - Live my life doing goog deeds for people 3 - Disappear in the mist, leaving a name behind
  8. We could say I'm francophone. Most French-speakinglings understand what I say, but I must say that my French is Enlgish-biased. When I was younger, I was used to say "La rouge pomme", which is VERY bad French. In fact, I would be perfectly speaking English and not using French if I had lived a couple more years in Ontario, where I used to live when I was young. (And that's how I can speak English without having studied it before in class...) My French is now way better, but good French speaking people will recognize my French as somewhat Frenglish At least, I don't need a dictionnary when I'm writing. Sometimes, I should use it (to make sure I'm not using a Frenglish word), but I'm just to lazy to reach it (even if I always keep it next to me ). P.S. : I really did not study English (and I think I don't want to, prefering Japanese, Esperanto and Quenya way before, and having Inuktitut in my mind). I am among the lucky who have it in their soul...
  9. Well, I use as well old ways too, but in another language : Esperanto. (Because there is an old way ;P)
  10. Way to Kiri. Note : Kiri is a local company in Quebec. It may note have the taste Pespi or Coke has, but as we say : It's still Brown Drink.
  11. I'll make good use of that Lore, including it
  12. CheeZy : For she is half-elven, that's for sure (). Argalius and Chichigrande : Thanks, Merci, Danke, Dankon, Arigatou, Xiexie, Gracias and so on... (en,fr,ge,eo,jp,cn,es)
  13. Yahoo! I was called the Melvillian Oh well. I know my dream country is only mine and that noone can see it except if I draw or something like. And I don't have for now my flag with flag tissu (yeah, there are speacial tissues for flag, regarding colors : if you want a good flag, you must use those officialised color tissues.), an I actually only have a small black-n-white paper flag (the flag is supposed to be blue )... So I can't brandish it. But I shall get one before the end of this summer, for I want to have it for University.... I know online people that call me Melvi... But they were only chopping my good old Melville online name. And they were mostly girls. I wonder if I should take "thee" as a respectful adress (as it is today) or as a familiar adress (as it use to be). In these forums, one cannot be sure.
  14. Beurk, Maple... I had to use it years before now (when I was 15) and all I can say is that it may be somehow powerful, I just hate Maple. Hope that I'll never use it again.
  15. People don't seem to hate me that much. I guess I'll just go on. Akya knew that parts of this Forum I would like. But I like it all I'm sure she's a maiden of some god that keeps an I on me. Even though we met not so long ago, she's able to sence what I'll like
  16. It's because you don't know me all. I have strange dreams. I am eager to discover, to learn and to debate on almost everything. I just like to learn about everything (except Celebrities... so useless. But I'll like to learn about movies and roleplaying etc.) I am bizarre, but that is how I like myself. And I highly brandish my own flag to tell the World : this is who am, Human like You, different like everyone.
  17. Black Op : As for me, Esperanto is a language as another. If I indeed want to see people learn and use it for its easiness and helpfulness, I cannot force people to do so. So I just use it when I feel I must use it. In Esperanto I write most of my philosophy, for Esperanto being a great language if you need to build words and new concepts. But I think the language I'm creating for myself easier. (Because I do so) And for Esperanto being Artificial, let's talk about French
  18. Phantom : As for the first two (English and French), it was quite easy. I learned both when I was a young. Actually, my first tongue wasn't neither French or English but some sort of structured language that only I and my sister understood. But I forgot it later, distinguishing between French and English. For the third one, Esperanto, it was as easy, since most of the vocabulary comes from French and German. For Japanese, I say it will be my real first learned language. I hope it will be good.
  19. Well... Who am I. I'm 18. I'm Melvillian. What does it means, only me and some friends know. I'm the only one of that kind, and I'm proud of being so. When I'll be called Melvillian, I'll show a smile and fly my flag over me. I live in a city that is called Montreal, though I wish to live in a city called Cévé. I'm a student learning Japanese. I also speak three other languages : English, French, Esperanto. I was foolish enough to learn Esperanto : it's the best thing I ever did (for because of this I like Japanese and a lot of stuff). I like Mythology, I especially like to imagine Mythos. What else... Saa... There's nothing more for now. If you have questions, ask me, I'll answer
