    It pretty much means 'ah, is that so?', except it's actually something of a rhetorical question...

    I take it its Japanese, since you are learning it, although it doesnt look like katakana of kanji.

      はい、日本語でした。 There are three different syllabaries: Hiragana (ひらがな), used for Japanese words when there is either no Kanji or a reason to not use them; Katakana (カタカナ), used for foreign words and onomatopoeic words, or just for effect; and Kanji (漢字), which are basically adapted from Chinese and are honestly the best part of the language.

            Its actually quite a beautiful writing Japanese. I quite like the contrast between the character sets.

              I assume you meant 'specialised'? I see you gave up arguing about jejune then? ;) And you said you were never wrong. Tsk tsk. You never met me before! ;P

                  No, but it seemed pointless arguing with you when you cannot understand the difference between the French Meaning and the English. All you provided was an etymology of the word. Despite what it's origins were in the French language, it still has other meanings in English. This is why English is the largest language.

                    Langue. And then we come to jejune, which David decides does NOT maintain its meaning as do all the other French derived words he just used. Instead he gives and entirely NEW erroneous meaning. What other words have you changed the meaning of then? Do you intend to do this to others in the future? Perhaps you could redefine 'language' as a sexual position? Dunno, just a hint. :laugh:

                            Your phraseology implies certainty despite a complete lack of intelligence or knowledge - this is probably why you believe in the magical healing effects of colloidal silver. :doh:

                                I've never seen Star Trek before; you, on the other hand, sound intimately familiar with it...

                                      Okay: I was tempted to look cos you replied so quickly and bugger me if I don't agree with what you said! That being the case, stop saying things I agree with or we'll have to start talking again and I will have to stop being belligerent/rude (which, I have to say, you mostly deserve) and I like being belligerent and rude - it's fun. ps. It really isn't that bad here: it's like every country: it all looks very different from somewhere else until you live there and you realise that, mostly, everyone gets up and goes to work and has the same basic problems no matter where you live. Now, feel free to berate me and tell me to eff off so I can tell you what a cunt you are, okay?

                                        はい、日本語でした。 There are three different syllabaries: Hiragana (ひらがな), used for Japanese words when there is either no Kanji or a reason to not use them; Katakana (カタカナ), used for foreign words and onomatopoeic words, or just for effect; and Kanji (漢字), which are basically adapted from Chinese and are honestly the best part of the language.

                                        How are you going about learning Japanese?

                                          I've never seen Star Trek before; you, on the other hand, sound intimately familiar with it...
