Thanks

Thanks.......

Google translator couldn't translate it either.

I do not speak Romanian but I would bet he is saying something close to this:

"Hello! Can anyone help me with information about jobs in Malta with papers and undeclared money. I love this island and I would like to settle there. Anyone can give me information? I will be grateful. Thank you very much. Greeting from Romania!"

Not sure at all if he really says "with papers and undeclared money" but "ACTE" means papers and "NEGRU" black (in Spanish "en negro" -in black- means undeclared money).

Wow!!...it's as if you're native in so many cultures....

Sir, I bow to your many competencies.

If anyone can help this fellow then I'm sure he would appreciate your answer in his native language..........whatever that is.

Cheers

Mike

Edit....


Indeed Sir

First: I am indeed native in many cultures and languages.

and 2nd: You do not need to speak a language to understand what it (partially or totally) says. e.g. I do not speak Italian but I mostly understand Italian; I do not speak Japanese and I do not understand almost anything in Japanese.

I speak English, French and (some) Italian.....my wife speaks Maltese (of course), English (fluent and better than most in the country), French, Italian and Greek (conversational). 

Not speaking a language and "mostly understanding it" is complete (insert anglo saxon expletive here).

The only problem is that one phrase or word, appearing to be similar in different languages may and usually does have a different meaning, particularly if the roots of the languages are different. Its meaning would also depend upon context. It's about comprehension not 'speaking' a language.

Very interesting Lusco....

from your 'link' the opening sentence is:

"In linguistics, mutual intelligibility is a relationship between languages or dialects in which speakers of different but related varieties can readily understand each other without intentional study or special effort."

Can you please explain the correlation between Spanish and Romanian........as per your link above.

Hey!! you may know something we don't (especially as Greek (and Latin) we are led to believe, is the bedrock of all Western languages (indeed all.....).

just a thought there

Spanish? Who talked about Spanish? I speak 2 romance languages as native languages and I speak 4 romance languages in total. Apart from those romance languages I studied French and I mostly understand anyone speaking Italian (but I do not consider myself an Italian nor a French speaker). The more background you have in Romance languages the easier is for you to understand another Romance language. Romanian is for your information a Romance language.

My apologies

You are indeed Spanish....are you not?

Pray tell, what 'romance' languages do you speak?

I am now intrigued.

Maltese (Malti) is the national language of Malta, and a co-official language of the country alongside English,while also serving as an official language of the European Union,the only Semitic language so distinguished. Maltese is descended from Siculo-Arabic (the Arabic dialect that developed in Sicily, and later in Malta, between the end of the ninth century and the end of the thirteenth century).About half of the vocabulary is borrowed from standard Italian and Sicilian; English words make up between 6% and 20% of the Maltese vocabulary, according to different estimates. It is the only Semitic language written in the Latin script in its standard form.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_language

I know a person from Libya who is fluent in Spanish and she says that she understand Maltese but she does not speak Maltese. The reason? Mutual intelligibility between the languages she knows and Maltese. In Maltese functional words are mostly Arabic words while content words are mostly Italian/Sicilian which she is supposed to understand because her knowledge of Spanish.

The funny thing is that since there is no official rule which draws the line to separate a language from another one, sometimes the intelligibility is higher between two different languages than between dialects of the same language.

The 'real' funny thing is.......that, above, is neither sense nor English.

You need to be very careful what you 'cut and paste' it can be very embarrassing.

Best very the all

I did not cut and paste the text. What exactly does not make sense apart from the "official rule who*" instead of "official rule which"?

.......ermmm, no cutting and pasting eh?

so what does the asterisk here......."official rule who*"
mean exactly?

I know.....explain it in Esperanto .........maybe we will all get it.

The asterisk when quoting and after a correction is commonly used as a net-etiquette to mark which word was incorrect. And that is what I did in my last post; I indicated that when I said "who" I meant "which".

Apart from details exactly the same language and punctuation.

Can no one rid us of this troublesome troll? (Apologies to William Shakespeare.)

I am afraid you are wrong. Those messages are just simply automatically generated by the forum with the data provided by each user.

I know what an asterisk is..............especially in the context you use - I don't need another "cut and paste" reference from another mistake you have made.

You 'pasted' the asterisk by mistake......didn't you?................

Come one, admit your blunder - which word were you "marking as incorrect" in your post?

Sorry to interrupt your lunch at this time........( )

cheers cobber

Mike

You have even quoted my original message which had no asterisk

Do not worry, I am not going to say to you what you just said to me:

The laugh of it all is that put the original post through a translator and it makes no sense at all, though it is identified as being Romanian.
How romantic

Hi Arian,

this is an English speaking Expat.com for Malta. We are happy to give any advice you need but please in English !

If you wish to communicate in Romanian then please go to a Romanian language forum and do not keep posting here in Romanian.

You are being very rude .

Cheers
