This is the thing I forgot in the last post. Languages are so cool! My sister got me two phrase books for my upcoming trip to South America: Spanish and Portuguese. I have had a look over both, and my conclusion is that both languages are cool.

For instance, I found two phrases meaning “a red house” and “red houses”. In Spanish, these are, respectively, una casa roja and unas casas rojas. Did you see the cool linguistic thing going on there? In Spanish (if my phrase book is correct) there is a plural of the indefinite article (in English: a, an). Isn’t that the weirdest thing?

Also, there are two verbs for the verb “to be”. That’s really odd. “Be” is always my favourite verb in any language, so it’s usually the first one I pay attention to. How cool is Spanish?

Lol, this is a complete linguistic-geek post.
