What is the correct way to say I love you in Hawaiian? When searching on the Internet you can find many different 'versions' of it. The version that I just suggested has no accents in it 'aloha wau ia oe'. As Hawaiian has accents (I think those accents have just been added to the written language in recent times), some people suggest that it would need to be written as Aloha au iā ʻoe. Another page suggests that the correct version for this romantic phrase would be Aloha au ia 'oe. So almost similar to the other one, just without the accent on the 'a' in 'ia'. Aloha wau ia oe Another very trustworthy website called Omniglot (I am sure some of my fellow Linguaholics here already know that awesome page) also gathered a nice little collection of useful Hawaiian phrases and they propose to different translations for I love you in Hawaiian: Aloha Au Ia ʻOe or Aloha No Au Ia ʻOe. So to wrap things up, we have lots of different versions at our disposal. But I am almost certain that some of them are not correct. If somebody could spread some knowledge about I love you in Hawaiian, I would be most grateful! And here is even an video with that title. However, it seems like the title is Aloha wau la 'Oe and not Aloha wau ia 'Oe? What's the difference there? So many questions, I know.

What is this supposed to mean in this context? :=) If you need some help with German, let us know :=)

Is there only a difference of formality when using Oyasuminasai or Oyasumi=? As far as I know they both stand for 'Good Night'. I am not an expert in Japanese but my educated guess would be that Oyasuminasai is the more formal version of Oyasumi? -->because of the suffix 'nasai'. What is/are the Kanjis for Oyasumi? @Blaveloper would you be so kind to introduce some sample sentences. That would be appreciated.

Asi es la vida Could somebody please translate what the following sentences mean? I guess they are somewhat connected to 'asi es la vida'.

Lang Leave Quotes Lang Leave wrote some really good stuff. Here is one of my favorite writings from her: “As a kid, I would count backwards from ten and imagine at one, there would be an explosion–perhaps caused by a rogue planet crashing into Earth or some other major catastrophe. When nothing happened, I'd feel relieved and at the same time, a little disappointed.I think of you at ten; the first time I saw you. Your smile at nine and how it lit up something inside me I had thought long dead. Your lips at eight pressed against mine and at seven, your warm breath in my ear and your hands everywhere. You tell me you love me at six and at five we have our first real fight. At four we have our second and three, our third. At two you tell me you can't go on any longer and then at one, you ask me to stay.And I am relieved, so relieved–and a little disappointed.” ― Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

I almost feel like we are some kind of Indiana Jones quest here. Loving it :=)

Have you ever heard about rule 34? If you haven't, then here is what it is: The meaning of rule 34 " It is an i internet rule that states that pornography or sexually related material exists for any conceivable subject. " That's some pretty weird stuff, right? I guess this is supposed to be funny or something. On Urban Dictionary you can find some examples about the use of rule 34 in written language: Examples of rule 34 in written language I saw a rule 34 of Scooby Doo - Correct. I saw a rule 34 of Micky Mouse and Optimus Prime - Wrong. (Please note, since I have suggested the second example, it is now being worked on by Insane Japanese Hentai Animation Artists)

Amazing stuff!

Yes, I know most of them. One of my favorites is RTFM, which stands for Read the Fucking Manual :=)

Learning anything but the absolute basics about Mandarin in 24 hours sounds absolutely impossible to me. After 24 hours you will barely be able to speak a few words, if any (with the right tones). However, I am curious about your progress. Please let me know how it works out for you. PS: I have been studying Chinese myself for many years.

What does tbh mean? What does it stand for? I have heard this abbreviation once in a while on Social Platforms like Twitter and Facebook, however I just ignored it, as I am not really into all those fancy word plays and 'slick' abbreviations. However, as this tbh stuff is used pretty frequently, I had to look the meaning up and all it really stands for is ' to be honest ' . Do you use 'tbh' yourself and if you do, in what kind of situations would you use it? This kind of 'slang' is more for younger people, isn't it?

What's the proper use of indeed? It's a word that I actually really like to use, however I do not often hear it myself from other people. Is indeed rather formal (mainly used in written language) or is it more often used in oral conversations? I use the word indeed when I want to put emphasis on something. For instance, if somebody would ask me: Have you been to the cinema yesterday? I would probably answer: Yes, indeed, instead of only saying yes.

I unpinned our games Blave Hope that is ok for you.

Would that be correct Aureliae?

Thanks for sharing Mereloshn!

Thanks for the positive feedbacks. It is my only app in the app store. It was such an amazing experience to create it, though. Took me a few months to get it done. My coding skills are very limited and I really do not have any talent in coding. So it was some hard work for me.

That's awesome. Thank you GaeilgeGirl
