It's great!
And of course, Czech dumplings are great too :)

toomz, vloženo 01:28:25  23. 01. 2011

Hopefully soon :)

And when will you have any concerts in Prague od Olomouc? ;-)

toomz, vloženo 18:29:50  21. 01. 2011

Yep, eight concerts :) Actually it is quite hard work here, playing with another Czech and Japanese musicians, but I love Japan, so it is really amazing here. Tomorrow and day after tomorrow two last concerts, then go back to Europe. I look forward to Czech dumplings. Really.

Toomz: What are you doing in Tokyo? Some concert?

toomz, vloženo 08:30:49  20. 01. 2011

Well I am just now in Tokyo, and NOBODY here speaks english. Just really few people. But on the other side, everybody is so helpful, that it does not matter :) Today I was in bistro, where were just japanese signs and lady, who could not say even a word "soup", but finally after a minute I was already eating. And food was great! :)

I think in every nation there are people who can speak English good and other who speak terribly. Czech included.

Dara, vloženo 14:07:50  06. 01. 2011

He was our customer, so he somtimes must go abroad and speak English... but it's true, that English in our company is... terrible

Bellatrix, vloženo 12:14:30  06. 01. 2011

I know Indian English from bollywood films (they have this strange habit of putting English words or sentences to Hindi spoken films). It is not that bad, but those are actors who use English often. I can imagine how does it sound from an ordinary Indian :)
But I still think the Japanese are the worst too :)

Dara, vloženo 22:37:19  05. 01. 2011

I just had a chance to speak with a man from India (just few senteces), and i must say, indic accent is terryble. And I thought japanese english is hard to understand. But compared to that, it's a piece of cake.

Bellatrix, vloženo 15:23:49  07. 11. 2010

verlit: I am not happy about that but I have to give up and agree... :o))

verlit, vloženo 22:33:15  06. 11. 2010

It does :-)
Well, we may have a lot of fun with our language but this time, I think, it is English:1, Czech:0 :-)

Bellatrix, vloženo 22:22:02  06. 11. 2010

verlit :o)
I think there is a great advantage of the English language in the fact that a noun that normally isn't collectible can be used as collectible without any change. In the comparison with Czech, I mean. Czech is an inflectional language, therefore collectible nouns already sound collectibly :) and cannot be substituted by random different noun.
(does it make sense?? :D)

verlit, vloženo 22:08:33  06. 11. 2010

Neither have I. Which just confirms my feeling that English people are just a little...weird ;-))

Bellatrix, vloženo 22:00:43  06. 11. 2010

I think it is really odd, I have never heardy about any other language using such collective nouns :o)

verlit, vloženo 16:35:15  05. 11. 2010

I think we have already talked some time ago about English collective nouns for some animals (pride of lions, murder of crows) but here are some I have never heard before:

http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/collnoun.htm

A bazaar of guillemots
A parcel of linnets
A cowardice of curs
A blessing of unicorns

I love English! :-))

Bellatrix, vloženo 14:04:53  05. 11. 2010

Well, I do not know any English nursery rhymes :)

verlit, vloženo 12:00:12  05. 11. 2010

It is classical "nursery rhyme", V for Vendetta only made use of it.

Bellatrix, vloženo 11:39:19  05. 11. 2010

Iwo: They tought you this at school?
I know it from "V for Vendeta".
