MarMar Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 I'm not doing English this year, but I wrote similar text last year - translated it in the wee hours of yesterday morning, so please ignore the odd typo or weird sentence
Cal Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Mar, I don't know how you do it - being able to translate your Norwegian Essays into English. I have a hard time learning the Irish language!
MarMar Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Thanks, Cal - I haven't done a translation course yet, but will do if I continue with English next year
Jess Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 Does anyone here speak Italian, or maybe is up-to-date on Italian current affairs? I have to pick some current Italian thing and give a two-minute presentation on it...I'm totally stuck!
ms.megan Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 I learnt italian in primary school so I'm a bit rusty. Try searching on google or something.
Jess Posted December 16, 2006 Report Posted December 16, 2006 I've tried Googling...I s'pose I could translate the Italian news sites into English using Google, and then do it that way. As it stands right now, I don't have a clue what any of them are going on about!
Eli Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 This is probably the weirdest thing I have been asking about so far, but I have a vegetable-related question for all the geniuses out there... I tried googling it, but the problem is I have NO idea what this vegetable is called in English so, it's hard to find info about it. Here's a pic: In school today we were talking about proteins and amines (?) and our biology teacher told us that proteins and amines "leaks" out in the urin when the body is breaking it down and getting rid of it (I'm sorry if I'm getting this wrong, I'm not good at biology-stuff as you might have guessed from my use of words and terms ). She said that we find amines in a lot of vegetables, and I started thinking about the movie "Election" where the girls eat this vegetable (whatever it's called) and then chack how long it goes before their pee smells different because this vegetable changes the smell. So I wondered: is there a lot of amines in this vegetable? And if there is, is that the reason why the smell is different? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out with this weird question. My teacher didn't know, and now I just HAVE to find out, it's driving me crazy!!
Eli Posted January 4, 2007 Report Posted January 4, 2007 Yes! I tried searching for that but nothing came up! I must have spelled it wrong or something...
Jess Posted January 5, 2007 Report Posted January 5, 2007 That is indeed an asparagus. As for amines and the such, I don't know!
