One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine

Maps! - Audio blog!

Indeed. Estonia IS a spin-off of the Soviet Union. As is Latvia and
Lithuania. They really are counted from north to south. Estonia is
right to the south of the Gulf of Finland.

Anyway, estonian language is really perhaps weird one. We are
pronouncing the words exactly as we write it. For instance.. "Ma
armastan ilusaid naisi" would be translated as "I love beautiful
women", exactly word for word. But unlike englsih, which you would
pronounce as "ai lav biudihvul uimen", we pronounce the "Ma armastan
ilusaid naisi" just the way it is actually written. A bit weird
perhaps, yeah.

Anyway, we have 14 cases, or "declinations". As in english are
Nominative, genitive/Possessive etc etc... (don't know if these are the
terms in english :razz: ) So actually LEARNING estonian would be quite a
pain in the ass. Well, so goes for me for Russian, which does NOT use
world-standard characters, instead Slavish alphabet. (was it called
"slavish"?). We use latin as most world countries do. We just have few
extra characters. Do you have any specific words you want to get
translated??

Anyway, yes, the ordering from north is Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. And
yes, they lie to the east of Baltic Sea. The VERy small island you see
there, is actually part of Estonia - Saaremaa. A small island which,
translated VERY roughly would be "islandland". Indeed. Saar = Island.
And maa = land/country. So... islandcountry or Islandland :biggrin: Might feel
a bit funny :razz:

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -- Toulouse-Lautre, Moulin Rouge

Its amazing how one thing forms another.

So just in case I ever go to Estonia, could you tell me how to say? "Kiss my ass" and "Lick my sack" just in case Hugh is there.

Also, The "slavish" alphabet is calld "Cyrillic" after St. Kyril, the catholic missionary/regional bishop who invented it. the root language is "slavonic", and baltic/balkans countries are called "slavic" as a great generality.

There are a few main types of root languages, which are:

• Germanic, like anglo-saxon, german, polish, swedish, norwegian, etc...
• Romance, like italian, french, spanish, and portuguese.
• Slavonic, like russian, croatian, czech, slovakian, etc.
• there are other groups, like a few in the orient, Pacific islanders, and lots of those indiginous to the americas, as well as african, and arabic types, but, we're focusing on the main european ones. In europe there's also Gaelic and other native languages spoken in certain areas of europe before they were taken over and mish-moshed around.

Most of these languages have influences from each of the others, like estonian is Slavonic/germanic. Romanian is Slavonic/Romance. And english is Germanic/Romance/with some Gaelic.

Anyway, That's a short linguistics lesson for today.but to stay on topic ans keep Satchmo happy, I'll talk about sexual stuff.

So anyway, I used to have a MAJOR thing for asian chicks becaue they have a tendency to be skinny, just like i like them. and asian boobies are nice. And all the white girls i knew at the time were bitches. Anyway, All the asian girls I've dated tended to have nice figure and shapely breasts (can i say "Breasts" on here?) And they have a lower tendency to have weird nipples, unless they're japanese, then they have a higher puffy nipple rate than other types of asians. The "Dirty Asians" (no offense to any Dirty Asians out there) as i like to call them, which are philipinos and Laosians and Malaysians and all those southern ones, tend to have perky nipples and even slighter bodies than the traditional chinese. Alright, that's about all.

ESTONIA RULES!!!

PS. Taiwan doesn't count as D.A. country...

Anyway, at cinema I'm gonna work harder on it... I'm gonna tell I like her :razz:

As I told you, I blew up with Gerli. But this time I'm more wise and DO recognize the signs flipping around me and her. There were a lot for Gerli which actually showed me she liked/loved me, but she had the guts to (is "guts" the real word for dames?) at least hint me.

I've never infact heard of "infatuation"... i'm gonna have to get a dictionary, really...

Okay, got it. Nah, it's not infatuation I have.. it's more like a love at first sight. I don't even have a unbearable feeling to kiss her... neither for gerli, which infact IS one part of infatuation.

You said it was infatuation between me and Gerli aswell? Hereby I grant... you are WRONG. The feeling is in me for 5 years now... do you really think I won't give a damn what happens to women I love? I do. I don't know what I am gonna do if something happens to Gerli. So... I loved her. I really HAVE had infatuation for many girls, yes siree. They fade away. I have wanted to kiss them. I still can hold it back though. But for Gerli it felt different. So does it for Eileen. Only THIS time it is WAY stronger. I'd like to have a sign which tells me I won't lost her :sad:

And thanks :smile:

Thanks. But remember soon after this thread was born, several

the exact reason why censorship is so evil.

As long as the topic doesn't harm anyone, everything should be allowed.

And along the subject of language, there is only one major Asian
language root, and that's Chinese. Every other Asian culture has
been influenced by Chinese, and the Chinese language system formed the
basis for all other Asian language systems. I don't really
consider the Indian subcontinent as a part of Asia, because they have
such distinct culture, which evolved completely independently from the
rest of Asia.

Can you tell that I am proud of my Chinese heritage? By the way,
Chinese and Greek are the only surviving modern languages from the
ancient world.

Hmm... 1) Thank you.

2) No, somehow I don't care what others think. It's perfectly normal
for someome 40 to be with someone 30 :biggrin: I mean... come on :biggrin: ANd 4
years difference is nothing. As I said... I will wait until she is
ready. Yes, you wouldn't do that for anyone you actually love, you'd
just dump her.

3) And I can assure you, I am. No girl has EVER made me do several
things, such as getting me away from computers or given me a feeling
that I'd have to go to gym.

4) Well... I haven't got any issues with courage in the virtual
world, no siree. I used to have problems with courage when I wasn't YET
in the virtual world (remember Gerli, anyone? :biggrin: [dej? vu, anyone :biggrin: ])
But as I said...

The hell... I even confessed about Gerli to an ex-classmate... I told
you, this girl has made me doing things I would never even have THOUGHT
of. Love is an incredible thing. Isn't it? A normal, sane, human being
(guy) ought to be crazy to confess to an ex-classmate (a girl). But
nobody, from the people I know and who know about this, have told ANY
bad words about she being 13 and me being 17. Afterall, we DO only have
3? year difference. Her bday is on Dec. 3 and mine on May 8th.

Anyway, that's not my point. I really appreciate all of you replying and being so reasonable and all...

But yeah, the spilling out my heart on internet forum... well, I told
you, I'm getting quite a sensitive and a lesser macho-type. I don't
actually even like to show off as somekind of a tough guy..

Anyway, at one point I had ideas that... i have actually nothing to
live for, you know, so I went off very careless (hence, diving into the
world of computers and never gettin out...) but now... I actually feel
there IS a life OUTSIDE computers (yes, till that time I was nothing
more but a nolifer). I feel there is something more in there.. Before I
would rather have spent time with computers rather than females, but as
you might have well guessed... Now I'd rather spend my time with her.

I know a bit about asia... I have many friends from there. So I might as well share a few tidbits I've learned, while we're on the topic.

Vietnam (the one with the war) is sort of southwest of china... If you look at a map, theres a big penninsula sorta hanging down under china which looks vaguely like a scrotum, well Vietnam is on the east side of that peninsula. The Vietnamese language is descended from Chinese, but they use a modified Latin alphabet since the French colonisation of Vietnam in the 1800s. Then during WW2, the french left, the Vietcong took over, and managed to fight off the Japanese. Then when the French tried to take back their colony, one thing led to another, there was a war, America lost, and now Vietnam is a communist country. Vietnamese girls are awesome.

Malaysians speak Manglish, which is a combination of Malay and English. They take English, throw in a few Malay words, and put "lah" (which doesnt mean anything) on the end of most sentences. So if you can decipher the accent, you can understand most of what theyre saying.

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

No girl has EVER made me do several
things, such as getting me away from computers or given me a feeling
that I'd have to go to gym.

Aww...a true nerd in love. I can relate to that. However, I
can boast that I've been lifting weights for the past fifteen years
already, so I am no whimp.

I am be extremely nerdy, but I am quite muscular too.

---

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -- Toulouse-Lautre, Moulin Rouge

No. I am not nerdy. I might have been a complete nolifer, but I still
could distinguish. I just was MORE related to computers than to the
reality. I still went to countryside from time to time but that doesn't
matter.

What matters, is.. she reacted just in a way I expected her to. I love
her, yes, but I made a confession to her just a bit time ago. She was
shocked. I thought even before that she would be. But also she was
either away or playing something so I never managed to completely ask
her for a movie. I will give her couple of days to get relaxed from the
shock and then gonna ask her out again. Her first response was "I don't
know what to say..." and "I know you for like 2 days!"..

So I'll give a bit of time for her to get over the first shock and then
asking her out again :smile: She atleast knows my intentions that way... I'm
not gonna leave it like this, although many of you might say she's gone
too. I hope seriously, not, and I have enough time to come clean. She
promised to talk to me in the evening when she gets back home and we'll
see :smile:

To take it like this... life is like a computer game, s**tty story, but graphics are awesome and you cannot save :biggrin:

I would like to load from couple of days behind, though, and tell her already when we met there that I like her :biggrin:

Anyway, what I did was, confess her everything I could about what
happened if I met her, thanked her to lead me out of the "dark side" of
the world :razz: and well... I believe she was shocked so much because she
IS only 13 afterall... But yes, when she gets over it, I'll give a shot
to a cinema :smile: She should be used to it then.

Best of luck to your conversation tonight. But I have to say that
her response wasn't overwhelmingly positive. From past
experiences, a girl in shock doesn't usually bode well for the future.

I hope I am wrong. Keep us posted.

---

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -- Toulouse-Lautre, Moulin Rouge

Well, as I said, she IS 13 years old and a girl in her age might not fully understand what such a relationship actually means.

And, ofcourse, it might just have been a surprise (something tells me
it was NOT a great shock for her) that I opened up my mouth THAT soon.
I also gave her clear signs that I liked her so she knew before. You
never can tell what women want, for sure.

Anyway, I dived into the digital world after the loss of Gerli, and She
brought me out. Noone else has ever achieved this. (as I said) and only
"The One" could have done it. (The One - a Perfect Woman. A Perfect
Woman is a definition set up by me only for myself, the specs are built
on Gerli, when I saw her the first time, the woman whom I loved for
many years... but who will still stay in me heart. There are 8 things
about a Perfect Woman. Doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs, is shorter and
younger than me, is smart and intelligent and is... a virgin). A
Perfect Woman can get me out of anything, but I am afraid, if she can't
keep me in the Real World, I might dive straight back to where I was...
a nolifing idiot. Or, perhaps, since I'm older now, into a Bottle.
Which, I daresay, is MUCH worse than Digital World. But I prefer to
wake up every morning beside the woman whom I love and instead of
turning on my computer, I should turn HER on...

Anyway, my lecture is WAY too long now, so if you are tired of me
telling my "love story" then please, say it and I'll stop. Otherwise...
I can keep you in touch. :smile:

and you do?

But I prefer to

I have a hard time sleeping with another person, Its fun the first few
times, but I had a hard time sleeping when ever my girl friend was in
bed with me. like I'd wake up and it felt like her head had
killed the part of my body she was on.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping the most.. even IF anything goes wrong, I
will hope to dive back into computers rather than a bottle. My own old
"dear" dad went that way (well, he did it on his own free will, not
after a broken heart.. and took me mum with him... she died). I saw
what happened with him.. and I don't like it. I don't actually even
care what happened to him.. is he still alive or already dead. I really
don't give a damn. I'd rather someone gives a damn about me when I'm
old...

Anyway, I will give her time. She needs some. I really rushed things
too much, but I say - better overact than underact. Overacting has only
better results than underacting, which might take her away. Instead,
Overacting can actually BRING her to you. Just for all of you know.
When it's the Time.

I've known people who turn to drugs/beer when they fail at "love"

But dont think that if this one girl doesn't say yes its over.
You'll find a girl or she will find you when you least expect it.

hell, I dont even try and get with girls and I ended up with a fox... I mean sure we fell apart but you get the idea.

Also, I think when you praise some one as the love of your life you are
only setting yourself up to be hurt. I dont understand how anyone
can love another person after only a short non-personal time with
them... My pal Chris falls in love before he even meets a girl
and already sets him self up to get rejected. Let your feelings
form over time, dont try and force it.

I wanted to say I loved my ex, but never could becuase I knew it wasn't true.

Satchmo your wrong I'm sure! Chinese has changed considerably over the years hasn't it? I'm sure it has. If someone spoke original chinese you probably wouldn't understand, or is that just the writing?

---

-[Better to be Honest than Kind]-

Doc, I cannot do ANYTHING about my subconciousness. I cannot change the
way I am unless my heart thinks so. I guess it just needed a small
break from love.. it hurt, I know. When I understood I lost Gerli, it
hurt so much. I couldn't accept it in 5th grade and still hoped
something will work out.

I believe in destinies. I believe in faith. I believe, that people are
given signs all the time. Perhaps they are only too stupid to
understand or notice them. I believe I had a chance to change my life 5
years ago (well, 6 now). But I was just too stupid to understand that
sign. I also believe, that it wasn't just a coincidence that I set up
the definition of a Perfect Woman and then... couple of years later...
I fall in love with someone who answers to those requirements! I can't
believe it! It can NOT be a coincidence. I fell in love even before I
had learned she is 13 or anything! I thought she was 18. But faith gave
me two signs. I missed the first one though, which was she coming to me
and asked me to ask if a guy had paid for his pizza, cause she was
scared of her. I asked him and went back and told her that he wasn't.
The guy then came and paid. She thanked me. I should have left there to
talk, but I went back to my PC. Anyway, the point is.. i was surrounded
with guys lot better or meaner looking than me :razz: But she took me..

The second sign was when she sat beside me. That was the one I thought
about... hmm... I got a chance.. I wasn't exactly thinking about
it as a sign. But now I'm on a lookout for any of those, since I
foggily know what a sign looks like. Anyways, we talked a lot and I got
this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. I didn't know but I fell
in love. I've forgotten what it felt like, but now I remember it and
hope never to forget it. She then went back and after a while I came to
the bunch of people she was with over there and complained about me
being bored. And then we started talking, we all talked all night long,
we two talked most of time. Made jokes, lauged etc etc. I demonstrated
her my numb hand.. took a pizza she couldn't, which was too hot :biggrin:

Anyway, the next (and final, for now) sign was her coming to my
computer. She went to MSN (I had just written the first post about her
in here :razz: The post with the rate.ee link in it :razz: ) and started
chatting and listening to me MP3-s. Her parfume sticked with my
earphones and are here even now.. It smells SO good... mmm I acted
then. I found out her MSN etc etc and all.. and after I got home, I
started talking to her through MSN. We found lot of things in common,
such as couple of friends :biggrin:

Anyhow, my point is, I personally then recognized those things as signs
and thinking a bit back in time... I reached to Gerli. So, that's when
I understood what an asshole I was with her. And then I asked Eileen
about her virginity... which, as I said, was the final requirement
filled. So my subconcious or whatever (heart, perhaps even) was right.
I think there are powers higher ones than us, that give us the signs. I
almost feel as if I should believe in God! (damn, the first time I
write God with a capital at somewhere middle of sentence... love really
does miracles! I never thought even about BELIEVING in God..)

Chinese has changed considerably over the years hasn't it?

Sounds like you're not sure yourself, so how can you doubt me? I
was born in Taiwan and educated for twelve years in Chinese history and
language. My mother is a Chinese history teacher in high school.

There are many dialects in China, but Mandarin has been the official
language for the past three thousands years. The language has
changed surprisingly little. I would be able to understand
ancient Chinese people's conversation. It's not exactly the same
as modern slang, but it's not drastically different.

It's equivalent to reading Shakespeare. It's a bit difficult, but
not impossible. And as for the written language, I could read
scriptures from thousands of years ago, from the Tang dynasty.

And if you don't believe me, here is a history lesson for you.

---

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -- Toulouse-Lautre, Moulin Rouge

I am a big history buff, but one place I'm lacking is Asian history. I know middle-eastern and western as well as mesoamerican and pre-colonial america. but asia is a blank spot for me.

also, Satch, what about the Mongolians? thier language was different from Chinese. Is more similar now and of course had chinese INFLUENCE, but it's root was different.

Anyway, I was just trying to talk about the european languages..

[edit]

Anyway, madedog, you told the girl you LOVED her after 2 days? Even if you feel it, don't freak them out with it after TWO DAYS!! You gotta learn to be more sneaky. you know, TRICK them into loving you, by the time they realise they don't you're already married and they're trapped. lol

Satchmo, how much can u bench press?

I tried sniffing coke, but the ice cubes kept getting stuck in my nose.

Well, if anyone, then only me, can talk actually about the
estonian-finnish language. The Estonian language is
I-don't-know-where-originating. But - Finnish and Estonian are VERY
similar. Actually you could almost understand the other if you know
one. so...

"Hello, and welcome to the Estonian class of Snarkpit. Please be seated."

"Tere ja tulemast Eesti keele Snarkpiti tundi. Palun istuge."

Estonian language is a very... cool :biggrin: language. You can use it to make
pronounciations easy for other languages. For instance, I used it all
the time when, in school, we had to learn russian rhymes or something.
Or something like that. It is real cool.

Also, since everything is pronounced as written (except foreign names
and stuff), we actually use sometimes a bit "modified" eengliizh, such
as "I don't want to to that" would, in msn, sometimes written out as...

"ai t?unt vant tu du z?tt" :biggrin: Iz ziimz z?t ai h?v tu pikom ?n ingliz tiidza :biggrin:

Anyway, on pronounciation of those "weirdo" characters, such as ?,?,?,?, they are pronounced as follows:

? - [o]h poo hoo!

? - l[a]ssie

? - s[i]r

? - [?]ber :razz: (in german)

F?r man wo ferstunden deutche, du ferstundent die karakteren. (I said
in german, that "For man who understands german, you understand those
characters") The german language has couple of them. Such as ? in ?ber.
(?ber, for those who don't know, is something mighty. So if you hear
someone say "?ber micro", they usually mean that someone has VERY small
d*ck..)

Oh, but let's go on.

The 14 cases in Estonian are VERY difficult for people to learn them.

These are: Nimetav, omastav, osastav, sisse?tlev, sees?tlev,
seest?tlev, alale?tlev, alal?tlev, alalt?tlev, saav, rajav, olev,
ilma?tlev, kaasa?tlev. The last for cases are called "ninataga" cases,
since they give words suffix "ni, na, ta or ga".

For instance, a word "maja". It means "house" in english.

If we want to put it into the first case, nimetav, or "nominative", in english, it already has a form - maja. The basic form.

If we take the next one or the third one, the word "maja" stays as it
is. It doesn't change. They go as follows: house, house, houses. Like
who, who, whos.. don't know if you'll understand.

But if we keep on getting to "sisse?tlev" (or something like
"into-saying"), we get a first suffix for "maja". The si[SSE]?tlev.
Prefix in []. So we get.. "majasse" like "into house". To not confuse
you, I won't give a shorter form of it.

The next case, see[S]?tlev (already IN something), we get "majas". Such as "in house".

And the 6th one see[ST]?tlev (going out from something), we get
"majast". Like "from house". It might feel a bit confusing, but
they are RULES which ALWAYS follow words such as "house, car, computer"
and all that which notes things. Also, you can use "living" words (such
as woman, dog) etc with it. It'll always work. For instance, i want to
say "I go into a woman" (:lol:), I would say "Ma l?hen naisesse". Ma -
I, L?hen - Go, naisesse - into a woman. Easy as that. (for us :razz: ).
Naine is woman in english.

Anyway, let's cut the next ones and get straight to NINATAGA cases.
Remember, the last 4? Rajav, Olev, ilma?tlev, kaasa?tlev. You must
wonder, why such an extraordinary definition for those cases, ninataga?
Well, in estonia, it means something as "behind nose" :razz: this
"ninataga":P

Anyway, as you remember, Sisse?tlev and sees?tlev and seest?tlev give
us suffixes. So do ninataga ones. Now, Rajav - To something. Like "to
car", "to house". Olev - As something. Like "as woman", "as car".
Ilma?tlev - without something. Like "without woman", "without car".
Kaasa?tlev - with something. Like "with woman", "with car".

In Estonian language, it is way different actually. We only use suffixes to express this.

For instance, as I mentioned before, woman = naine, car = auto and
house = maja. Can you form the Rajav case of car without peeking couple
of rows below?

Did you get it correct?

Rajav case gives us suffix -ni. So, if we want to make a case Rajav as
a "car", we would take our word - "auto" and add a suffix to it - "ni".
So, auto+ni would make out... "autoni" or "to car". The same for
"house" or "maja". maja+ni = majani. Simple. The woman, however, is too
different to handle it here, logically you would deduct, that it is
"naineni", but there you are wrong. Actually it is "naiseni". It comes
from "omastav" case, which I'll leave out at this time. It makes things
too complicated enough for you.

Now, Olev case gives us suffix -na. Like

auto+na

maja+na

naise+na

Did you get it all?

You can logically deduct, what are coming next. Very easy to be correct.

Ilma?tlev: -ta

autota

majata

naiseta

and finally..

Kaasa?tlev: -ga

autoga

majaga

naisega

Hell, is an half-filled auditorium

My dad asked me an interseting question, he asked if I thought English
would evolve into common slang. It seems to me that it will,
ebonics and street slang are fast becomming normal speach.

I was at a GED testing center in Atlanta so there were alot of black
girls around, and its really neat to hear how they speak. Its so
much more dramatic and intresting.

I don't know if you're interested, but Estonian language shares the
first place with Italian, if sort them by beauty. Estonians are singing
people. Estonian is a singing language. A very beautiful one.

At difficulty, it is at 5th place, but on development - 200th :biggrin: (lol, we still use borrowed words for most of new things).

I am reading a book on the style of English language, and it's very interesting to learn how the language evolved over the years. It's becoming streamlined and more efficient.

Compared to Spanish or German, English has dropped most of the verb conjugations (tenses, singular/plural, masculine/feminine). It's a lot less cumbersome than other European languages.

Incidentally, there is absolutely no verb conjugation in Chinese. That's why I had such a difficult time when I was learning English.

By the way, I can bench press 255 lb (116 kg). It doesn't seem much, but I only weigh 132 lb (60 kg). That's almost twice my body weight. I haven't met too many people who can bench press more than twice their weight.

I just received a fascinating email from a friend. Interestingly, it's quite relevant to this thread. It's an excerpt from a textbook on sexual education from the 1960's in Great Britain.

I'm sure at one time English was spelled phonetically, it's just changed so dramatically since that time, taking in influences from nearly everywhere, while contracting and compounding words frequently, such that it no longer is. The sheer ascertation that Estonian is entirely phonetic leads me to believe that it's actually a fairly recent invention, at least in terms of it being a written language.

Crazy, from sexy women and kinky ideas and lusts, to how languages have altered over the years... :razz:

That seems like pretty much to me, especially considering your weight. You have to be pretty muscular.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

I am only 165 cm (5' 5"). Remember, I am Asian, and my mom is only 127 cm.

You have to be pretty muscular.

True, I consider myself a muscular guy. But I want to dispell this myth that girls like muscular guys. For all the girls I've ever dated, none of them dated me for my physique. In fact, my wife doesn't really notice my muscles anymore.

Perhaps teenage girls are different, but I can assure all of you that you don't need to be muscular to get the girls. Sense of humor and respect go a long way.
