Happy New Year!!!
Also, present time, because my family is weird and only gives presents at new year's eve:
Lots of DVD's:
- Kung-fu Panda
- WALL-E
- Ice Age (Chinese version, I can't believe they managed to track those down!)
- Lion King (Also Chinese version)
Also:
- New iPod, 'cause my old one decided to give out on me
- WALL-E mug to go with the DVD ^^
- New pencil and marker, I needed them desperately
Probably getting more tomorrow, but it won't be as interesting.
Happy new year to all of you!

I'd like to leave it at "It's complicated" since part of my family is from Asia {probably China, maybe?} and part of my family is from the Netherlands (I think). So I'm not really sure. ^^''
Oh, ah, ha, yes, I have that problem as well. I also have a problem with learning new grammar too (especially for formal situations) since I'm usually used to hearing more casual {e.g. "Tu" vs "Vous" in French.}
That's very true. It's 10 million Swedish Kroner, but I'm not sure how much that is. o__o

And the Netherlands? If you ever go there, make sure to pay a visit to the country a bit more to the south ;)
English is 'till thusfar the only language I've come across that doesn't have a formal form, it actually confused me so much when I started learning it (and still kinda does, to be honest)
It sounds like a lot ^^ Which is good :p
no subject
I sure will. =D That's your country, right? ;D
Formal form? That is true. It certainly is a weird language, with a lot of exceptions here and there. {that shouldn't be much of a problem later. ^^}
Yep! XD
no subject
Every language is weird xD I got used to it. (Tip: Don't try to leanr Dutch unless you're a masochist. English and Chinese are both ridiculously simple in comparison)
no subject
That is sure true. xD {Really? Wow...that sounds like Dutch is really hard to learn. x.x English = simple sound very very scary. x.x But thanks for the tip. =D}
no subject
Dutch and English resemble each other quite a bit, but I still think Dutch is harder to learn. We have a lot of weird rules and particles that are hard to use, but invaluable when you want to construct a correct sentence (bit like 了 in Chinese)
no subject
Well, which place would have more of the culture preserved? I'd like to see remnants of history when I go to cities. ^^
I've heard that before, and that sounds...like it's really weird. @__@
{Yep, but then you can avoid 了 by using something more informal like the word for tooth with a mouth before it.
can't type Chinese on my computer. ^^''}no subject
You mean 呀? Heh, I have no idea how to use it, and I don't think we're allowed to either xD; We need to learn the correct way and all that...

My e-mail box got spammed so I didn't realize you replied. ^^
Oh, okay, I'll keep that in mind, and if I ever go, I'll tell you. =D
Yep, that's exactly the word I mean.
It...sometimes signifies annoyance. ^^''
So you'd probably be better off not using it. I know how to express annoyance alright in Chinese. It often annoys others even. XD;;;
no subject
Don't forget! :p
Oh, that's interesting to know! I'll have to pay attention to my Chinese friends then, see if they ever use it (if it's directed at me I'll at least know that I'm being annoying :p)
no subject
However, that word can also be used in a non-annoying way, so don't always think that you're annoying. XD;;
