does anyone know, please?  by AliceJane   23. Mar 2010   French

Hello - I posted a question. Perhaps it was thought to be rhetorical, but I'm not smart enough to ask rhetorical questions!

We had a sentence of the day that talked about French gastronomy. In English, we talk about French cuisine. In France, do they use the word "cuisine" or "gastronomy"?

Thank you for your time!

March 17 - Sentence of the Day  by AliceJane   17. Mar 2010   French

I'm wondering about our Sentence of the Day. In English, you never hear something like this:

'France is famous for its gastronomy.'

Shouldn't it be 'cuisine,' which is spelled the same in English and French? We often talk about French cuisine. I'm not sure I've ever heard the word, 'gastronomy' outside of a spelling test in school.

Or in France, do they actually use the word, 'gastronomie' the way we use 'cuisine' in English? I guess this is a word usage question.

help me!!  by asd214   22. Jul 2010   Korean

i'm confused! i made my way through different websites that offer lesson in learning korean(hangul). yes, I learned some from them. But I recognize myself as a newbie regarding this. And i'm really running into this trouble.
here; I know that ㄱ can be read as "g" when it is the medial character and "k" when the first character. so how can I figure how to read it as "g" or "k"?
same as with ㅂ. I know it is read as "p" if it is the first or last character and "b" as the medial. but sometimes I read some words with translation as b if it should be p. help!!

Numbers (II) -- Native Korean numbers  by freddycantillo   30. Jul 2010   Korean

Korean lessons: Lesson 12
Numbers (II)
Native Korean Numbers

Another set of numbers are of native Korean numbers. They are indigenous in Korean, possibly stemmed through a different route from that of the Chinese-based set. Although they used to have a complete system of native numbers that can go up to three digits (or more), they now only use the numbers up to two digits (99). The formation of numbers is quite similar to that of English numbers in the sense that you have a set of numbers for single digits (1-10) and another set for tens (10-90).



Numbers and formation

Single digits

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Native numbers 하나 둘 셋 넷 다섯 여섯 일곱 여덟 아홉 열

Ten, twenty, thirty....

Just learning on this side I had this sentence: http://www.chinese-course.com/explain-sentence.php?sentence_id=818
Keep walking ahead from here until the first traffic lights, then turn right.从这里直走到第一个红绿灯右转.
Is 右转 in this context correct? Thought it is for cars and not for pedestrians. I would use 右拐. What do you think?

Korean lessons: Lesson 3  by freddycantillo   30. Jul 2010   Korean

Korean lessons: Lesson 3
Phonological notes

1. Syllable-final Consonants (받침):

1) Theoretically, any consonant can be in the 받침 (syllable final) position. In reality, ㄸ, ㅉ, and ㅃ are not used as 받침.

2) Some of the consonants merge into one sound when they are in the syllable-final position. Orthographically, however, they remain different. Summarized as follows:

consonant endings 받침 sound examples
ㄱ, ㅋ [k] 각, 부엌
ㄴ [n] 눈
ㄷ, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅌ, ㅎ [t] 낟, 낫, 낮, 낯, 낱, 낳 all pronounced as [ 낟]
ㄹ [l] 쌀
ㅁ [m] 봄
ㅂ, ㅍ [p] 입, 잎 both pronounced as [입]
ㅇ [ng] 영

3) These merged sounds regain their original values when they are followed by a zero-initial syllable (i.e. vowel).

각 + 이 (topic/subject marker) = [가기 kagi]
부엌 + 에 (place marker) = [부어케 puo^k'e]
낮 + 에 (temporal marker) = [나제 naje]
낯 + 에 (place marker) = [나체 nach'e]
입 + 이 (top./sub. marker) = [이비 ibi]
잎 + 이 (top./sub. maeker) = [이피 ip'i]

Lesson 5 - Sentence Structure and order  by freddycantillo   30. Jul 2010   Korean

Korean Sentence Structure and Word order
In Korean the structure of sentence differ to English sentences, for example the phrase Chal Chinaessooyo literally means "Well have you been getting on?" which is the opposite from English.
In general the structure of the Korean sentences is broken down as subject - object - verb
"Jon the ball kicked"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"To Go" in order to do sentences
There are a few words that you may add to the end of verb stems at the end of sentences, these include -yo which makes sentences polite, and -ro which means "in order to".
In some cases the verb stems may in effect end in consonants in which case -uro is utilised.

Lesson 3 Use of Consonants (자음) and Vowels (모음)  by freddycantillo   30. Jul 2010   Korean

가 = ka 거 = keo 겨 = kyeo
갸 = kya 기 = ki 고 = ko

바 = pa 버 = peo 부 = pu
뵤 = pyo 지 = chi 저 = cheo
즈 = chu 조 = cho 마 = ma
머 = meo 무 = mo 나 = na
너 = neo 이 = i 야 = ya
디 = ti 고 = ko 댜 = tya
요 = yo 오 = o 도 = to
드 = tu 두 = too 그 = ku



When constructing a word, you must add a mixture of consonants and vowels, beginning with the consonant at the beginning of the word. In some cases, there is no need to use a consonant at the beginning in which case ㅇ (null character) is used.
ㅇ + ㅏ = 아 a
ㄹ + ㅡ + ㅁ = 름 rum
ㄱ + ㅏ + ㅁ = 감 kam
ㄲ + ㅜ + ㅇ = 꿍 kkoong
ㅇ + ㅗ + ㅅ = 옷 ot
ㅇ + ㅓ + ㅂㅅ = 없 eop
ㄲ + ㅗ + ㅊ = 꽃 kkot
ㅎ + ㅏ + ㄴ = 한 han
ㄱ + ㅡ + ㄱ = 극 guk

More on constructing words
A syllable that consists of a consonant and a "vertical vowel" is written with the consonant on the left and the vowel on the right
ㄴ + ㅏ = 나
n + a = na

A syllable that consists of a consonant and a "horizontal vowel" is written with the consonant on top and the vowel underneath:
