Oh, he is right, meh.

Who knows avoir's passé gérondif? This should be a new forum game. I wish I had a Klingon becherelle, that would be cool. Todshak!(Note: this is acctually Klingon(it means... something)). Anyway wouldn't it be simple past(english has it backwards right)?

Oh cool, language battle!

Nguso, nguya, ngiti, nginig, ngalan, ngunit, ngongo... We have our own set of difficult-for-Westerners-to-pronounce words too ^_^

And our flexible yet messy panlapi system, "naniningalang-pugad" for instance...

It's no wonder that Filipino isn't a popular language ^_^

"An American, a Japanese, and a Filipino got stranded in an island full of cannibals. The cannibals gave the three of them a chance to escape..." (See profile for story)
