  1. Another nonsensical thing about Danish. There is no good explanation as to why one noun uses -et, and another -en for definite reference.
  2. Well, 'bilen, huset, etc' is definite reference.
  3. In Japanese and Thai, probably more asian languages I'm not aware of, the subject is often elided, this makes context an absolute imperative. If you didn't know what the two sentences above were about, the next few may be no help at all. An adjective can constitute an entire clause. I like the methodical approach in English, where you have to mark the place where the subject would have been with 'it' and of course you can't do without introducing it specifically to begin with. Japanese : cold (is) English : It is cold.
  4. Whats an indefinite article, a missing definite article.. ohh nevermind, it's just 'a', 'an', no definite (specific) reference.

    I wish they would start killing characters off for real, start with Peter, Nathan, Claire and Cyler.
  6. So whats your take on 'the boy threw up', can you appreciate where I'm coming from by viewing 'threw up' as the verb and not bothering one bit about the preposition.
  7. I refuse to play the game at anything less than the core rules setting. Best I could do was to kill everyone but the Herald, and by then my party was so battered there was nothing left to do. Tried 4 times, gave up, uninstalled. It's ok, the bad guys have to win sometime too. I mean if they didn't it would take away all their ambition.
  8. My definition is lacking how.. I mean, there are more functions and word types, these are just examples. The point I was trying to make is that 'up' is certainly a preposition, but thinking in groups of meaning, as when you assign syntax within a clause, 'threw up' constitutes one, and further analysis does nothing to improve ones understanding, in fact the opposite is the case. In the grammar I learned long ago one could call it a prepositional clause or a verb clause post modified by a preposition, but a descriptive language like grammatical analysis often forces conclusions that are irrelevant.
  9. Morphology Base word type classification, preposition, noun, verb. Syntax Function within a clause, predicate, object, subject.
  10. I dunno, they could be actual buns, but what would propel them.
  11. 'threw up' is one syntactic unit, not two. The preposition only reveals itself at the morphological level. I'd say it was an exception, which is all good. Exceptions are what makes us remember the rules as much as the rules themselves.
  12. What is that an example of.
  13. I thought it was one long 'meh'
  14. Some gamepads have a handy repeat toggle which lets you machinegun any key.
  15. LOL, actually that does sound a little bit like Swedish, if he would only cut down a little on the diphtongs (does not apply to certain dialects of Swedish). The sk
  16. Also you can insert a non grammatical comma anywhere, stick it right after the subject in a main clause if you like.
  17. Japanese seems to arbitrarily use past or non past as if they were interchangeable. It takes a bit of getting used to.
  18. Or sound like demented faries like the Sweedes

    Institutional discrimination is institutional discrimination, it don't make no never mind what religion does it. It just rubs me the wrong way.
  20. It's not as good as MotB, it's alright.
  21. Whats not all, you have to make sure none of the party have shields in their inventories or the AI will switch to shield and.. fist.
  22. How do you beat the battle with the herald of Zehir. I mean the thing is invulnerable, even if you could stay alive long enough to focus on it, it regenerates. Best effort so far has been to clear them out with the exception of one Yuan ti priest, and the herald. I cast 3 gate spells from scrolls, and all that did was slow them down a bit. Is this the end battle.. doesn't feel like it from the journal.
