今日は、少し虫歯があったから、歯科医院に行った。僕の口はアマルガムがいっぱいあるのを見ると、医者はちょうびっくりした。日本では、危ないかも知れないので、20年前そんな修復が終わっただって。イギリスでは、国民健康公共が普通にすごいことだけど、歯科の包括は大体よくない。で、イギリスの歯医者もだめかも。
kyou wa, sukoshi mushiba ga atta kara, shika iin ni itta. boku no kuchi wa amalugamu ga ippai aru no wo miru to, isha wa chou bikkuri shita. nihon de wa, abunai kamo shirenai node, nijuu nen mae sonna shuufuku ga owatta datte. igirisu de wa, kokumin kenkou koukyou ga futsuu ni sugoi koto dakedo, shika no houkatsu wa daitai yokunai. de, igirisu no haisha mo dame kamo.
Today I went to the dentist because I had a bit of decay. The dentist was very surprised when he saw my mouth was full of amalgam fillings. He told me in Japan they stopped that kind of filling twenty years ago because it could be dangerous... In Britain the NHS is usually very good, but dentistry is generally badly covered. And perhaps my dentist in the UK is also bad.

Bueno, género es pesado. Pero conjugación es un coñazo.
Well, gender is annoying. But conjugation is a bloody bugger.

Edit:
Thry es un pesao, pero en el sentido bueno. Se puede aprender de él.
Thry is annoying, but in a good way. You can learn from him.
It was about time I changed this.

הממ. השעה היא 11 בלילה, ובדרך כלל בשעה כזו אני מכין לי מים חמים עם דבש ולימון, אבל משום מה הערב הכנתי בטעות קפה. ממש התפלאתי כששתיתי מהכוס וטעמתי קפה במקום לימון
Hmm. Hašaá hi axát-esré baláyla, uvdérex klal bešaá kazó aní mexín li máyim xamím im dvaš velimón, avál mišúm ma haérev hexánti betaút kafé. Mamáš hitpaléti kšešatíti mehakos vetaámti kafé bimkóm limón.
Hmm. The time is 11 in the evening, and usually at this kind of time I make hot water with honey and lemon, but for some reason this evening I made coffee by mistake. I was really surprised when I drank from the cup and tasted coffee instead of lemon.

These are my shoes. Don't worry, I also have each one's twin, and the one that appears blue is really turquoise.

¿Hay una minoría significativa somalí en Ohio que estoy desprevenido de?


The Digest Of Ohio Motor Vehicle Laws is available for download in English, Spanish... and Somali.

Is there a significant Somali minority in Ohio that I am unaware of?

La sintasi spagnola proibisce quello tipo di preposizione pendente. Devi tornare alla costruzione col pronome relativo.
Spanish syntax forbids that kind of hanging prepositions. You have to revert to the structure with the relative pronoun.

More or less; the answer I have is needle so it refers to the same process.
