Does someone here know some very basic Georgian?
How would you transliterate 'Good Day/Good Morningç How are you? Fine'
Would it be something like
"Gamardzhoba. Radzhibe?" -"Gargarvar" ?
Does the Georgian language have the sound 'f'?
I met a Georgian woman who pronounced words with this letter like a sort of aspirated 'p', but that may have been a speech impediment.
Is a driver's desk only in a train or can it be in a car? Or else, what do you call the part of the car in the front behind the steering wheel and in front of the passenger seat where people can keep plush animals (very important part of the car)?
I can neither remember nor find the Russian word for the very small segment in the corner of a large window that can be opened for a bit of ventilation in the dead of winter.
Can someone please remind me?
спасибо большое
I wrote a short note in French to a hotel in Paris, asking about room configurations. Here is their response:
"Nos chambres triple disposent soit d'un lit queen + 1 lit single soit de 3 lits single."
I am a little confused by the subjunctive useage here. The useage above seems more appropriate to the conditional tense because the room "could" be configured with different beds. As I recall, not every instance of "possibility" requires the subjuntive. Or am I wrong?

Does anyone else always find themselves saying and spelling 'fustrate'. I have to keep reminding myself it's wrong.
This guy is visiting the country and I wondered if there was a title on the name or is it just a name:
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
What does Sri mean? and why is it said twice ( if not a name)
Ravi has nothign to do with Rabbi right?
Is there a translation for Shankar?
Dear Friends,
Few months ago I went to Malaysia for a vacation. There I ate the Malaysian Peanuts. They were much bigger in size and much harder to chew, as compared to peanuts that I get in India.
Names of "Peanuts" -
1) In India - Language "Hindi" - They are called "Moom Phali"
2) In India - Language "Marathi" - They are called "Bhui Moog"
3) In Malaysia -They are called "Kacang Masin".
I would like to know different names of Peanuts in different countries & different languages.
Regards

I think in German, after the last Rechtschreıbreform, there is now words that have three times the same letter in a row. Can anyone name me an example?
Is there any other language that is notorious for using three times the same letter in their writing system?
Or can anyone name the one or other exceptional word (in whatever language) where for one or other grammatical reason there happens to be the same letter three times in a row?
I lately saw this in Turkish:
"Gapayı kapatttın!" I think this…
