Re: (lang: en) Monks qui parlent des langages autres que les anglais (revenge of rosetta monk)

Sometime in the past year or so I had the following on my homenode. I took it off after a while, but have since wanted to post it as a node for posterity. This thread seems to be an (at least somewhat) appropriate place for it, so... here goes.

Rosetta Monk revisited...

In addition to learning more Perl and the great comraderie, I enjoy the global nature of the Monastery. Just by hanging out in the Chatterbox, I picked up the following greetings. Feel free to /msg me with greetings in other languages. Although I get in trouble when greeting a Monk in his/her native tongue because they respond in that same language, which I know only a phrase or two {grin}</font.

Howdy! While visiting Sweden, I observed that the common greeting was (or sounded like) "Hey!" (which I suspect is spelled hej). Being the monolingual 'merican, I replied with "Hello" to cue them... I took four years of French in high school, and about a semester of Japanese in college...I remember bits and pieces. I manage to read most romance and germanic languages with a some success (at least in the references I am trying to read), but that only goes so far... Lingua::Romana::Perligata is a real hoot! I showed it to friends and they were rolling in the aisles in appreciation. Me, I tend to stick with "Howdy!" these days... yours, Michael	[reply]
