Greetings, friends! I am a native speaker of English (from Canada), as well as a pretty fluent speaker of Russian (Standard Russian with possibly a slight Ural Russian influence). I am interested in a wide variety of languages, but the language I wish to learn first is my ancestral Hebrew. A language exchange would be the best option for me. I am interested in macrobiology, linguistics, world history, and politics.

    All of these words but "ludicrous" are synonyms - they mean the same thing (funny). Ludicrous means ridiculous in a funny way.

    English names have the given name first (also called a first name) and surname last (also called a last name). The correct rendering, English-style, would be Ziyi Zhang. However, Chinese names are sometimes kept in their original order, so Zhang Ziyi would also be correct.

    I would like to see your Carola 2011. Where can I meet you? Can I drive it? Does it have any problems? How many kilometres has it driven? Please give me your final price.

    Must = Have to, but Must is more formal. Both mean that the action is required. "You must eat this cheese" vs. "You have to eat this cheese". May means that the action is allowed (or sometimes that the action is possible, like might, but more formal). "You may eat cheese if you wish", "George may come today, but I am not certain of this". Might means that the action is possible. "I might be able to attend". Can means that [a subject] is able to do the action. "I can attend, but I don't want to".

    English transitive verbs can often be converted to intransitive and vice versa. In this case, it means that ink was falling from the sky in the form of rain, snow, hail, etc. "Blow" would mean that the ink is blown around. I don't know where this quote comes from, but it probably doesn't refer to "real" ink, but rather to something for which ink is a metaphor.

    No. The "he" in these cases is mandatory.

    Shoes are plural, but a pair of shoes (2) is singular. So, you can say "This pair of shoes fits me", and "These shoes fit me".

    Other Languages

    A large amount of people on italki who claim to know "other languages" do not specify which these are, and some seem to be lying. If anybody here truly speaks an "Other Language", please announce yourselves here along with the name of the language you speak.
