Pili'ōlelo kēiā! Ke kumu waiwai maika'i kahi 'o Youtube.

It's this one! Youtube is a good resource too.

Ua loa'a au i ka kumu waiwai maika'i e a'o i ka 'ōlelo hawai'i! Pū'iwa, 'a'ole i a'o mai hana nui ka pili'ōlelo.
I found a good resource for learning Hawai'ian! Surprisingly, the grammar isn't very difficult to learn.

¡Hola a todos! He vuelto de lo más hondo (como hago ocasionalmente) para preguntarles: ¿Hay alguien que conozca un buen recurso para aprender el idioma havaiano? Me interesa aprender, pero de los recursos que ya he visto, no puedo entender la gramática por nada. ¿Ayúdenme, por favor? :) Olá a todos...

The lyrics I'm posting below are from Céu da Boca by Ivete Sangalo É de babaixá, é de balacubaca (...) Eu quero beijar a sua boca louca Eu vou enfiar uva no céu da sua boca. There is repeating of these lines, but the first and last lines from the lyrics above are problematic for me. I know that "bab...

Like:
Portuguese (I like some nasal vowels)
Turkish (Yay for vowel harmony)
Afrikaans (It just sounds really cool)

Dislike:
Mandarin Chinese (The tones just sound ugly to me)
French (The overwhelming use of nasals just makes it sound terrible)
Polish (szczchjaoeijslav)

I know Nat King Cole was trying to make a tribute to Bossa Nova, but this is just a painful attempt at Brazilian Portuguese...

I don't know how many of you exactly are well-versed in Portuguese phonology shifts, but as I was studying I had a couple of questions and I knew that this would be the best place to go for answers. 1. Why is it that there is a difference between <ti> and <di> in Brazilian Portuguese and European Po...

Done and sent to Cockroach.

All cultures seem to have their share of nursery rhymes, or just traditional sayings in general. I can't think of one that is distinctly American at the moment, but here's a song from Spain that I think is pretty funny: Yo Tengo Un Moco Yo tengo un moco Lo saco poco a poco Lo redondeo Lo miro con de...

In my 'lect, the threadname is ungrammatical: It should be "teléfono políglot a ". Is this different in salvadoran or did you just have a typo/make a joke ? It's fine in the dialect that I learned, as the word "teléfono" is masculine. I would assume the same is the case for whatever dialect he spea...

From: English, Spanish To: English, Spanish I'm such a boring person :P But I would like to participate anyway. EDIT: Oh, and I MIGHT be able to translate from Lakota, if you want to risk me screwing things up. :P SLOW REACTION EDIT: I suppose that if I MIGHT be able to translate from Lakota, then I...

Marãol: Bij kixitan mistija sõar macio.

Literally: To have been sprayed with cheese. (Cheese is sharp tasting and usually served melted in the area where Marãol is spoken, and when too much of it is used it can be a bit overwhelming.)

Next: To have one's head in the clouds

Marãol: Ballaxtiom ecitra

Literally: To find a black cat (referring to the unlucky omen of a black cat crossing one's path, it symbolizes the unfortunate situation of one being non-discrete).

Next: To garner multiple successes/experiences in life.

Marãol: Ayo colleson rexonse

Literally: To smile at one's own ass. Derived from the act of bending over backwards, which symbolizes in Marãol not practicing what you preach.

Next: "To vent, to air out one's feelings"

^I knew someone would bring that up. But in my circumstances, this phrase is incredibly overused by my friends. The maker of XKCD is my hero.

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, because I was too lazy to read through all 8 pages. :P My friends have the terrible habit of using the word "ass" after an adjective" as a means of emphasizing. For example: "That was a long-ass party" or "It's a hot-ass day outside, isn't it?". Then ...

Or Vietnamese... mmm, sexy Vietnamese. Actually Vietnamese is more of a turn off for me... It has one of the worst romanized orthographies that I have ever seen. I've always wanted to make an isolating conlang, but I never took on the task because of its complexity. (Or, what seems to me like compl...

I had a dream that I was about to get into a Cobra Starship concert, but it was $99.99 and it was sold out anyway. Plus, I was late and the concert had already started. Awesome.

I had a dream last night that because I sat on the wrong side of the Pope, I was going to hell.

Go figure.

And while this has less height than that antenna, it's old and crumbly. That video was done without harnesses :o . Skip to 4:49 for death-defying stuff, ...

This is really awesome! I love love LOVE your verb morphology. Mine never seem to turn out quite right.

Lé lílaȟči khilí! Morphology wóškaŋ nitȟáwa kiŋ thewáȟila, thewáȟila, thewáȟila. Mitȟáwa kiŋ tóhaŋni sʼeléčheča šni ečhétu úŋ.

Is this the eddy with the Light Yagami signature?

(Cause if it is then AHAAAAA I KNEW IT)

This is one of the funniest things that I have seen in a while.

Oh my God...

Jashan, I actually used your term today. One of my friends watched me get snapped with a rubberband and they laughed, so I said "You're such a doomglory".
