Re:Translation of mandarin Chinese phrases
David,

You could be in trouble here, depending on how you see it! Here's the translation for you:

Wo Ai Ni - I love you
Bai Ma Wang Zi - Knight on a white horse

Go figure!

Re:Per coloro chi parlano Italiano: LUI o EGLI ???
I am also studying Italian so I am not an expert. I believe, however, that Lui is the polite form of the pronoun and Egli is the "super-polite" form. Egli is not generally used except in literature according to my husband who is Italian.

Re:Re:Need help with Japanese
Just to clarify, "Eva" could be pronounced as "eeva" or "ayva" depending on where you are from, so maybe it's not the best example word.

The ii in Kawaii aproximates to the sound "ee" as in the English words "see", "be", "free", etc.

Also, because the i is doubled it is actually a long ee sound, but perhaps that wouldn't be so evident in the word "Kawaii". In Japanese you always pronounce every vowel on its own. Putting vowels together just sounds like those vowels strung together, it doesn't change the sound of the vowels as it would in English.

Re:need help when expressing these situations in english :)
Hi Ahmad,

You would say "I'm listening to music" (youre in the act of listening) or "I hear the music". I hope this helps.
