So you see that's what EBT does to you: once you get bitten by the bug, you never get rid of it!

I have seen the light !
I can read Finnish

It's so great that the BeNeLux keep the Finnish forum active

.
And it's also great that they can read and write Finnish so well

.

I can read finnish as good as Dutch, English, and any other language that uses the Latin alphabet.
But understanding is something different....

I can also read Greek, and a little Japanese

Maybe someday I'll get the crazy idea to learn to read arabic or cyrillic

Well, I guess everyone in Finland understands English. But it's still nice to be sometimes able discuss about the stuff in Finnish, since it's still a bit easier.
And I did the translation for you: "Yritämme parhaamme" That's not exactly the meaning of those words (litterally it means: we try our best), but we say it that way in Finnish.

That's a good point. What a wonderful thing the latin alphabet is.

Reading (and understanding) Japanese would be cool. I can also read greek although I don't understand it at all.

A bit different history and we maybe would write using runic letters in Northern Europe.

hehe

they look nice.
If they were really used, I think I would learn them!
I like being able to read all kind of writings, even if I don't understand anything.
It's always nice to read some Greek text, and everyone being like 'wow, that dude knows Greek !'

And after all it doesn't really matter what you say. No one else understands it anyway.

Iit's alwqays nice to amaze people with my latin skills. I don't really understand that much latin but still it's enough to make a strong WOW-effect.

'alea iacta est'
'cogito ergo sum'

just some stupid latin sentences who really don't make sense, but they can be used to impres ignorant people

... as the saying goes: "Quid quid latine dictum sit, altum viditur".

(translation: Anything said in Latin sounds profound)

That's true.
I know only one Latin saying that is really true:
Cito enim arescit lacrima, praesertim in alienis malis.

Guesses? I'll be away for the weekend and I'm eager to see how fast you guys can figure it out.

Tears dry quickly, especially when they are for others' misfortunes.
