I am a native speaker of English and am conversant (but not fluent) in French. I love languages and linguistics in general and am interested in learning anything that any of you have to teach about the languages you know, but, for the time being, I am concentrating my efforts on German. Since I've already recieved a few requests of this nature, I feel that I should say that I don't have skype, and I don't use chat programs. I'm sorry, such things just don't fit into the pace with which I choose to live my life.

    More works are translated into French than any other language (even English); so, it would be useful to, at least, learn to read French. As far as geographic distribution of speakers is concerned, Spanish, Russian and Arabic are English's main rivals. None of these are that particularly "easy" (familiar in stucture and vocabulary) for Chinese speakers, but Spanish has a reputation for being one of the easiest of the languages to learn as a second language among English speakers, even though it is, by far, not as closely related to English as at least a dozen other European languages.

    What is the closest equivalent, as Gailge, for the English word "valiant"?

    Look up the verb "to desacrate". I think this is the word you want.

    "noun is" =noun's pl. (more than one noun) = nouns sing. pos. (belonging to a noun) = noun's pl. pos. (belonging to more than one noun - i.e. nouns) = nouns' "nouns's" is not a valid construction. Jura's answer is correct, in and of itself, but this the answer to the question I think you are asking.

    This is a modern electonic reïnterpretation of a traditional Russian folk song by the band, Иван Купала. You can watch a live performance here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaW0FapfHDs as well as more videos on the band's website: http://www.kupala.ru/video/ The references to "Buffalax" at the beginning of the video seem to indicate that the subtitles are soramimi lyrics. For further explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soramimi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSJw-mB44rc

    First, I would claim the prize discretely and tell no one that anything out of the ordinary has happened.

    No. "On the table", means something is being considered (think of proposals being "spread out" for everyone to "view" on a table around which everyone is sitting). "Marriage isn't even on the table" means that marriage is not an option; it will not be proposed under any circumstances.

    This is not technically "Old English", but "Early Modern English". They are the archaic second person singular (similar to French "tu" and German "du"). The full declesion is: Nominative - thou Accusitive - thee Possesive - thy Genitve - thine Reflexive - thyself Starting about 500 years ago, these forms were gradually displaced by the plural second person forms (you, you, your, yours, yourself) in refering to both singular and plural. These words persist in modern memory due to their presence in literature (Shakespeare, King James Bible, most books over two hundred years old), but they are rarely used in modern speech.
