Oh indeed. NO DOUBT...

MYANMAR (Burma) is currently under a military government. For a period of time beginning in the 1940s and ending in 1962, it was a constitutional democracy. In 1962, a coup d'état placed Ne Win in power as a military dictator. In 1988, a second coup d'état replaced Ne Win's régime with another military government, which lost overwhelmingly in an election held in 1990 but still remains in power twelve years after the election.

It is peculiar observing the extreme tangency that occurs in some conversations. Also, the correct spelling of the much-emphasised word in the conversation above is "indubitably" (with two "B"s and no "P"s), not "indupitably" or "indupipitably". The word comes ultimately from the Latin verb "dubitare"- to doubt.

It indeed occurs when one does not wish to do one's assignments and decides to babble with a friend, and speaking of that it is rather interesting to bring up your next point afterward, no? Though it is somewhat relevent to the irrelevancy of the conversation I would guess.

me babble never


andy

aww well I said I was babbling with you which only implies you are babbling but never actually states it so maybe you weren't? (crap grammar I know, but I'm doing Span. HW)

ah gracias senorita me non able spanish

as you can see i speak very little spanish


andy

want me to teach you some?
First of all it is not: ah gracias senorita me non able spanish
more of this: ah gracias senorita me no hablo espanol (con accento en la enye)
It's fine to speak little spanish!

it would have helped a little in the countries we have travelled as they are mostly spanish speaking

all we know is

hola
gracias
very sad i know

andy

oh dear! Really whatever you want to know ...I was thinking of making an entry on basic spanish actually. I can't seem to find one...

well you can help me as i usually muddle through!!


andy

Aww well...what would you like to start off with then?

personal pronouns?....
yo=I
tu(with accent on the u)=you familiar singular
Usted (Ud. for short), el(with accent on the e), ella=you formal singular, he, and she
nosotros=we
vosotros=you familiar plural
Ustedes (Uds. for short), ellos, and ellas=you all (you formal plural as well), them (males or mixed group), them (all females).

These are the pronouns you use to conjugate verbs...

i can count a little aswell

uno
dos
tres
quattro
cinquo
i think thats right what do you say teacher


andy

well other than the mispelling of 4 and 5..
cuatro y cinco...
It's pretty good up till then...I can count up to well 999 I believe. (It gets to be VERY repetitive...)

so i know a little then


andy

indeed! you are a very knowledgable student!

for the teacher


andy

*checks it for worms* Bien!
