Profile
Philology student from Spain. I'm in a serious relationship with languages. Interested in practising German, English, Italian and maybe Japanese, why not. I'm also a fluent speaker of Esperanto, but maybe you won't understand my way of speaking it. My mother tongue is Spanish, but I also can speak Catalan since I was born in Gandia (Valencia). Therefore I'm bilingual.

    The form "USTED" (contraction of "vuestra merced", your *mercy) is used to talk to someone in a pleasant way. It's conjugated in the 3rd person singular. So the sentences "gracias por su tiempo" and "espero noticias de usted" are correct. :)

    The verb "fluere" (flow, stream, pour, be soaked) in Latin refers the continuous motion of all kinds of liquids and gas. Cognate with the English word "flow". The present active participle of "fluere" is FLUENT* (flowing, streaming). This word was originally applied not only to liquids but also to the way of speaking and thinking: when someone speaks fast and clearly, it's said that his way of speaking "flows" like a river. The rapper Guru says in a song: "free with the style / I flow like the Nile / but remember / don't mistake the smile..." So a fluent person is someone that speaks very well: For example: "She's fluent in Russian".
