in thread [OT] Recruiting Non-English Speakers for a Perl-based Web Project

Hi Eily,

Thanks for correcting the Finnish! I've fixed that in the Finnish section, though I still need to update the audio (Editnow done). And although Google Translate says that "hymy" means just "smile", I can see from their translation for "hymysi" that the noun incorporates the possessive pronoun as well. Very interesting.

I like the language tree illustration by Minna Sundberg; will have to study it more.

By the way, Finnish is one of the languages I don't have a native speaker's voice for (other than Google Translate's voice). Would you mind asking your friend if she/he would be interested in providing it? :-)

Cheers, golux

    My friend is French, he just lives in Finland :P. But I gave him the link to this thread. And yes -si is a suffix equivalent of "your" (although there is also "sinun" with a similar meaning).

    If some thing seems weird in Minna's illustration it's because it was created in the context of a post apocalyptic comic. :P
