Alicatt Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Living here in Belgium I have found a lot of commonality between words we used in Scotland and what they use here in Flemish (Vlaams). I have no feeling for languages at all, been here for almost 10 years now and still cannot hold a conversation in Vlaams, I can read it tolerably well, but I cannot get the words out when I try to speak it. Oh, and here a f*cker is a person that breeds animals :D Sons of Dogs, Come Eat Flesh Clan Cameron
ironmarc Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I my country we actually use "bis" to say, we want "another round" or a "repeat". I didn't know it meant "second" in latin, but it makes sense. So you don't spell it "bi-aɪ-ˈɛs" like I've seen. You just read it as you would a spanish word, "bis".
voodoo.child Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 What country is that Marc? If you don't mind my asking...

It's really hard to learn the local language when everyone speaks your first language really well. You will find many UK/Irish/NorthAm/Aus/etc expats living in Benelux or Scandinavia for 10+ years, not speaking the local language because the locals just speak English at them.
WildBillKelsoe Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Bis is when you open the toilet door, walk to the toilet , raise the toilet seat and be caught in the action of key "R" in flaming cliffs... Its like asking what 'Goose' means? A goose is a goose... Still someone from English literature department should answer. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Art-J Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 According to the Wiki (yeah, yeah, don't shoot me), the first production variant of the 15 had the Bis suffix, so given this I wonder which one was the actual first one... Whoa, that ain't right. The first production version didn't have any suffix. Stick to the english Wiki article, it has all the versions listed more or less properly. So you don't spell it "bi-aɪ-ˈɛs" like I've seen. You just read it as you would a spanish word, "bis". Indeed. I can't stand hearing Wags pronouncing it wrong in all his MiG-15 and -21 related preview clips, but he's a Yankee, so I'm not surprised :D. At least Bunyap knows how to pronounce it properly! i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
