Strewth, turnip! Sounds like it’s been as dry as a *****’s ****** over there. Bit nippy over here. Cold as.
A Dollymaz:
Disculpo, no quise interrompir su conversación con J! Puedo leer francés, pero español sale de los dedos.
had 7mm of rain this month and this is the wet season.
good excuse for a cold beer (belgian since you ask!)
I only just found this most interesting thread.
I read that the best way to learn a language was to 'guess' at new words, as opposed to rushing off to google translate, based on its context, subject, etc. you'll be right more often than wrong.
Merci! La cervelle n'est pas encore morte. Quelle chance!
In this example,
merci ( thank you ), la cerveilr ( the cervix ) n'est pas (i know this from poirot) i(is it not) encore (more) morte (oh no, someone's died, that means dead, sh!t, wonder who?). Ah! Someone called Quelle Chance.
Nexr step rearrange it into English, cos the French tend to mix things up.
So we have
thank you [ for your condolences ] , [my friend] Quelle Chance couldn't be more dead, a bit of a f@nny ( def: as in an American bottom) though was he not?
as a meerkat once remarked: "simples".
earth? I don't get it.
I'll try google translate anyway, see how it compares
ha! Not even close,,you see that's computers for you right there. No concept of subject, context, the nuances and juxtaposed prose, poitt, mood, pathos, gravitas, etc., etc,, etc.
dont laugh but this is googles effort. [stifled chortle up sleeve ]
Thank you! The brain is not dead yet. What luck!

We'll try my theory on this, a brand new language to me, Mexican.
So "buenos nachos toda esperanza" .= good nachos and sparkling wine today
Sometimes spell checker can help, English is a mush of everybody else's language. E.g. Coca cola.
what use guards to sumfin to parkies not much of a color .... Sumfin, sumfin.
Well. Clearly Dolly is enjoying some "vino de plonk" and crisps. Night night. Or "anderé anderé, ariba ariba" as they say in Meheeco.
Hola, Eck!
Que buen teoria tiene acerca de las lenguas!
Espero que le sirve bien.
Eck, ept, etc, eek....
Para los franglofones:
A young newlywed man told his father he would send a postcard home telling his father how the romantic honeymoon was progressing. The son wrote a cryptic postcard in french which was merely
7 13+3
and the father sent an equally cryptic postcard in reply
6 7+3 7 9.
