good new year at all of you!

Hi Annelore,

I wish you and your family an happy new year and hope you'll enjoy all the next coming 366 days on this creasy forum.

C'est un lion dans ta cage en avatar ?

[Annelaure]

Thanks. No, it's a bird que j'ai amputé d'une phalange de la patte moi-même (férié, P à ¢ques, et aucun véto à  vouloir à  part le mien alors absent) une semaine après que le véto l'ait amputé d'un autre doigt. Alors que tous les autres véto refusaient ou s'offraient juste à  l'euthanasier, sauf mon véto (de Metz-Tessy (74)), mon oiseau a ainsi été sauvé de la gangrène dont il était porteur, et a gardé quelques doigts à  cette même patte. Il vit comme avant. La photo, c'était à  l'époque des soins post amputation ( à   devoir l'attrapper tous les jours pour). Un bonheur et une victoire pour moi et mon véto (qui a une fois de + preuve que ses choix et conseils sont les meilleurs. Il est vraiment extra et dévoué). Voil à  ...

ah bon et c'est quoi comme oiseau ? Sorry what kind of bird is it ? it seems to be a lion ? quite strange the photo ?

[Annelaure]

It's a sparrow (find in the dictionnary) of Japan.

donc un moineau

But I still maintain that your photo is really strange and I mostly see a lion and not a sparrow.

Any way it has got a real luck to meet you and your veto.

[Maheu]

I agree with you MOnti : I can see a Lion on the veto of Annelore

I agree with you MOnti : I can see a Lion on the veto of Annelore

Thanks because I was really anxious and of having eyes trouble when seing a lion instead of a sparrow.

Maybe Annelore's photo has been so much reduced for the avatar that the bird became a very small lion :roll:

No doubt Annelore will send another photo of her bird

have a nice evening

[Maheu]

(as I miss vocable to express each word I need, I have wroten in italique the words I don't know)

Hello Maheu Gd morning to you,

Yes you'r right it's afraid and not and this is a mistake since I am thinking in french and french gramatical rules dobble consonants between two vowels

Anyway I apreciate to be corrected by you and or any one else since this way is the only way to improuve.

I should translate "grilles" into " iron bars of the bird-cage"

Enjoy your week-end and pleased to meet you again on the fofo.
Bye for now

I don't remember who said that in past messages "Don't abuse of French words" For me it is great error, for the English language has a lot of them, and I will give you an exemple with the following text, written by a reknown american writer, whose name was Samuel Adams.


""If men of wisdom and knowledge of moderation and temperance of sobriety, and true republican simplicity and manners of zeal for the honor of the supreme Being and welfare of the commenwealth; if men possess other excellent qualities are chosen to fill the seats of goverment we may expect that our affairs will rest on a solid permanent foundation.""

As you can see there is in this text more French words than English words.

I tried several times to find the french words in the text but must say I'hve been unable to find them.

Is it a game ? Can you please underline them or explain ?

May be it's too late and my brain is tired .

Thks your reply

I think you brain must tired, or you want to play with words professor.You are going a bit to far, or didn't undertand that I wanted to explain that the text is very easy to understand without having learned much of the English. I don't want to cause you any inconvenienve....When you say " "Don't abuse of French words", you should have said "Don't misuse of French words.
You can abuse a women sexualy!! Moderation, temperance,excellent, affair, solid, and others words quite similar, are indeed from german origin, assistant lecturer !!.Don't even try to understand, and I have nothing to explain.......Anyone who takes himself too seriously always runs the risk of looking ridicoulous, but anyone who can constently laugh at himself does not.We serve a purpose in this topic,it is not an academic discussion. and to close I tell you I don't appreciate your insolence....

[JoeBAR]

and to close I tell you I don't appreciate your insolence....

If you keep trying to drive hopeful English student out of this section, you'll end up talking to yourself, old man.

[Maheu]

Yes, I agree with Joebar. Let's be indulgent with those who - like me - don't speak very well english but would like to try to talk a little bit on this topic !
