The Finnish word for night is a real oddball. It is spelled and its pronunciation should be heard. It definately does not resemble any other language name for night.

I think the same can be said about the Basque word for ‘night’: gau. Native words in non-Indo-European European languages very much should be expected to be oddballs.

You can. Just add manually the coloring tags around the expression you wish to color. The pattern is, for example, {color=red}Your expression here{/color} but replace the curly brackets with square brackets. All obvious color names can be used. The above example will then look like Your expression here.

P.S. Just noted that Spiderpig explained it above, far better than I did.



hey =) thank you so much! xD :mrgreen:

Unfortunately German is my second language after my native language English, but as long as "Dick" is your name (as I believe it is) then your German isn't bad at all. :D

Foreign languages are my obsession so may I ask why you are interested in German? Do you have German books to read? It will help you!
