| 1. limlobin (51) | 10 months ago | The beauty of learning English. The patterns are not always applicable to its certain points. For example, plural of house is houses...but why is the plural of mouse isn't mouses.
| |
| |
|
|
Theresaaiza (1601) | 10 months ago | Yes, you do have a point there. There are more exceptions to the rules than instances that adhere.:-D

2. Archie0 (3139) | 10 months ago | .Well english is a very funny language. not only this but there certain languages where pronounciations are tough. like BUT...PUT, often...we dont say of-10.. well there are some languages where pronounciation are quite weird and difficult, and we cannot exactly explain the reason till we make one of our own. even french is a very weird language. i think it is the most weirdest languages
| |
| |
|
|
Theresaaiza (1601) | 10 months ago | Yah...I guess all languages are like that.:-)

3. Ritchelle (1878) | 10 months ago | somebody likes the letter s so much that he insisted that if it can't be mans and womans at least make it humans.;)
| |
| |
|
|
Theresaaiza (1601) | 10 months ago | who could this s-lover be? I bet he wanted goose to be gooses too but just didn't win! LOL
| |
|
|
Ritchelle (1878) | 10 months ago | no. he wanted sheep to be sheeps but didn't win!
| |
|
|
Theresaaiza (1601) | 10 months ago | I just knew now that sheep can never be sheeps! Thanks to you. Good thing there are barely any farms raising sheep here otherwise I would have sounded funny saying SHEEPS!

4. heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | OH.. I am also really confused man.. What a thought you got. I got so laugh inside me.. I think Human means singular for not only man but also woman .. Human the common noun for Homosapiens species.. some woman should had asked why human why not huwoman.. But human implies that no woman asked such a thing but man were somewhat genourous and so Didnt want to give the same man or men name for plural too and so gave humans.. clear ah??
| |
| |
|
|
| limlobin (51) | 10 months ago | Whoa...the complexity of word construction.
| |
|
|
heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | yeah it is complex.. but may be more funny if you think that there were a war for this word between male and female/
| |
|
|
|
Theresaaiza (1601) | 10 months ago | Is HIStory all about men?
I don't think there can be HERstory!
| |
|
|
| limlobin (51) | 10 months ago | lol. We could make a lot of word plays by thinking what are the exemptions in English words.
| |
|
|
heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | thats looks good buddy.. History.. hmm that may be the reason why I say mean dominated the HIStory and not the women to give it as HERtory.
| |
|
|
heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | his + story= history.. No her+story to give hertory..
| |
|
|
|
heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | yeah.. hatsoff to the person .. "Human" who gave the names..
| |
|
|
|
heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | I didnt tell you that my hat is on your hand it is off my head.. I can give you kisses but not my hats.. sorry..
| |
|
|
|
heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | well then take my hat.. then give me something off yours.. i can have it na. little exchange.
| |
|
|
|
heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | Aiyoo.. So funny you think!! gonna throw those socks in to your wardrobe having your costly costumes.. How is it??
| |
|
|
|
heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | Oh No.. I'm really.. HMmm.. "silence angle.. dont get angry on this small girl.. she is just playing with you.... " I saw myself..
| |
|
|
Theresaaiza (1601) | 10 months ago | Dear heybuddy,
Oh no, buddy. I'll never be angry at you.
Sincerely,
Small girl (adjusting the collar of your clown costume):-D
| |
|
|
heybuddies (514) | 10 months ago | "She is not pretty, she is not beautiful, she is not fair, she is not gorgeous, she is not so hot, she is not a model, she is not so clever, she is not the better.. But I love her a lot since she is my small girl.. For GOD's sake she is having slight confusions in her brain.."

9. savypat (7833) | 10 months ago | Join the club, that is why English is such a difficult language, then there are all those words spelled differently with different meanings but pronounced the same. Like (there), meaning place, I am going there. And (their) meaning belonging to someone, I am their cousin. Enjoy
| |
| |
|
|
savypat (7833) | 10 months ago | I forgot the other (there) meaning to be. There are so many different meanings.

10. victorywp (317) | 10 months ago | alright, please let me try to answer this difficult english. LOL!
maybe here's how:- 1) man is for male (plural is men) 2) woman is for female (plural is women) 3) human is for either one or both (so the word "human" includes both singular & plural)
can you accept my explanation? LOL! now, please answer this question of mine below, i am very confused... LOL!
if horrific means to make horrible, why terrific doesn't mean to make terrible?
| |
| |
|
|
zahfran (334) | 10 months ago | haha.. what a question.. Some terrific things are actually terrible. Anyway, what is this? Some kind of English debate. haha..
| |
|
|
|
victorywp (317) | 10 months ago | please allow me to try to answer this difficult english again. LOL!
maybe here's how:- 1) worth have the same meaning with price 2) 'less' at the back of words means 'no', 'not', 'nothing' 3) worth + less= not worth (negative meaning, because it doesn't worth for any amount) 4) price + less= no price (positive meaning, because it doesn't have a limit for any amount)
LOL! now, if i'm asking the same question of yours but comparing the word 'value' & 'price'. value has the same meaning with price, but why valueless has a contrast meaning with priceless? LOL!
| |
|
|
|
victorywp (317) | 10 months ago | LOL! yes, that's the explanation. i should have asked this question:-
why it is right for infants to enjoy infancy but it's wrong for adults to enjoy adultery? LOL!
