关于Language的意思和用法的提问

A: Phonology is relating to the way a word sounds.

Grammar is the punctuation, sentence structure and general spelling.

Vocabulary is the current knowledge of words you hold and fitting the best words in where possible.

The sentence itself is saying that the language has been created through a mixture of all of those things.

A: @didi9: it could mean that: a language that you are not able to speak, is the most interesting to you.
the "speaks to you" part mean that you are interested in it

A: @Keimiu: Language barrier means that there is difficulty in making conversation because there is no common language spoken.
So this sentence means even though the difficulty in making conversation is high, because there is no common language spoken, she did not second think to talk.

Sorry if this is poorly explained ><

A: 言いたいこと外国語に言えて、母語話者に話せることはいい感じです。

A: 좀 부자연스러운 것 같네요.
I think there are strange things that people say in every language.

언어에는 무엇이든 좀 이상한 표현이 있을 때가 있다고 생각한다는 의미

A: *At first, try to learn some basic words, sentences, expressions and etc.
*Try to watch some videos about learning English and some English movies.
*Try to talk with some English learners and lastly
*Try to talk with native English speaker

A: To break down the sentence...

it's inappropriate
to view the language as
the exclusive property of
any one community of people,
be they English, America or
any other.

"be they" is used like this...

Be they whatever colour, people are all human beings.
= Whatever colour they are, people are all human beings.

This grammar isn't often used for "be he" or "be she"... it's a literary form used mostly in "be they" and "be it".

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.

Please ask if that's not clear.

A: - [It's important to speak the language of the country you are visiting because] you can easily read the signs and find your way easily without getting lost.

- [It's important to speak the language of the country you are visiting because] you can ask a passer-by for directions if you are lost.

- [It's important to speak the language of the country you are visiting because] you could avoid misunderstandings with locals there.

A: Sometimes they are interchangeable. But these examples are different:

"I speak other languages." = "I speak more languages than the one I'm speaking in now."

*SPEAKING IN ENGLISH*
"I speak other languages too. French, Italian, and Portuguese."

"I speak different languages." = "I speak more than one language, including the one I'm speaking in now."

*SPEAKING IN ENGLISH*
"I speak a few different languages. English, French, Italian, and Portuguese."

---

If you say, "I speak different languages too." or "I speak different languages other than (English; etc.)", it means "I speak more languages than the one I'm speaking in now."

A: It is common to find meet someone who first learned a different language but soon after learned another language!

A: Sorry, you had another question before but it looks like you edited it.

Anotherにはanがくっついているから単数形しか使えない
〇 another language
Ｘ　another languages
〇 the other languages

A: They mean the same thing. "Can you speak" is more common than "are you able to speak", but they both sound natural.

However, it should be "how many languages can you speak?" when it's a question. When it's a noun, you can say it as "how many languages you can speak." Example:

"I want to know [how many languages you can speak.]"

A: Fancy that = Cool, Interesting
Imagine that = Difficult to imagine

A: @bahataha: If I understand what you're asking correctly it would be, I'm studying English at college until I can speak it fluently. Few people here say University. They either call it college or school.

A: @Coolsummer: It means "puffy" or "puffiness". In English, depending on the sentence, it can be defined as "puffy" or "swollen". Example: "My eyes are puffy from crying last night." (In this sense, the word puffy can be referred to as "swollen") or "This pillow is so puffy!" (In this sense, the word is used to describe the object as literally puffy and not swollen)

A: I'm looking for someone to do language exchange with.
I'm looking for a language exchange partner.

A: It is a mixture of authentic dialect words, mixed with made up up words, representing country folk and probably based on the former dialects from the south west of England. It is actually quite hard to make sense of at first even for a native English speaker.

A: If I were to pick a new language to learn it would have to be Spanish.

Yes, it is a conditional sentence. It is the second conditional. That means that it is *possible* for (someone) to pick a language, but it is unlikely. In other words, he hasn't picked a language and he probably won't pick a language to learn. But IF he did pick a language, then he would pick Spanish.

A: Of course, although “fluent” is the word most often used in this sentence. Being fluent in a language means being skillful in understanding it so, technically, the two words are synonymous.

A: that makes sense to me but here is a different, more natural way to say it: “we’ve been talking for a while now and I don’t have much more to say about my life so I found some topics from online we can talk about. Would you like to use them?”

A: “Their” is ambiguous but it’s ok if you already stated your subject, e.g. children. If I were writing this I’d say “among their family relationships” instead of “among the family relationship.” This sounds more natural given it’s seen as a series of connections from one person. Other than that good
