    It is a pretty big thread, isn't it? And there are no flames in sight either. -- Berlin rules.

                      Sie haben sehr huepsche augen. I think thats correct. Sie is formal if I'm not mistaken. Du hast sehr huepsche Augen is familiar. I grew up speaking German at home (my parents are from Germany). I've lost quite a bit in the past 5-10 years, though. I have more trouble with vocabulary and grammar than I used to. I should make more effort to read and speak it. It would be a shame to lose that. BW "In a world full of people, only some want to fly,Isn't that crazy?" - Seal

Swedish, a language in the German family. Eventhough German and Swedish are related, their grammars have evolved very differently. Swedish is more relaxed as we don't care much about the sex of objects, and thus we have much fewer versions of verbs and adjectives. Swedish is also much more linear than German - verbs are inlined with nouns and adjectives. German is more of a stack language. Push all the verbs onto the stack, output everything else, and pop the verbs at the end of a sentence. I bet German is great for telling stories, as the anticipation builds up the closer you get to the end of a sentence.. :) Swedish is also much softer than German. Some say we sing when we talk, but I don't know. They have probably never heard a norwegian before - they really sing when they talk! -- Berlin rules.
