On 2019 Jul 10 01:16:10, you wrote to me: ML>> orange is also the name of a fruit in english... AS> Russian has separate words for the fruit and the color, that's interesting... i'm learning something! can you write what the two words are? maybe i can paste them into google translate to see the differences? AS> whereas in English they are one. Likhanov used the fruit word to AS> denote the color, so I wanted an English word more associated with AS> the fruit than with the color, even though it can denote both. i can understand that... translating things is a special gift... especially when marking subtle tings like the difference between an orange (the fruit) and an orange color... ML>> i love eating oranges... especially navel oranges... moreso when ML>> the navel is large enough to eat as well... like a smaller orange ML>> within a larger one AS> I thought it was a kind of nameless defect, but now I know the AS> English term -- and a good one, too! yep! some of them aren't so good to try to eat but when they are good, they're very good )\/(ark And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn it off. ... Waiting for the world's applause. --- * Origin: (1:3634/12.73) |
