Title: What does it means...? Post by: Violent Violet on October 04, 2010, 10:27:33 am Hi everybody! I was listening to a song that I really like (Hot Mess by Cobra Starship) and there is a verse which says "let me make you my boo"
Now, exactly what does this verse means? I know that a boo is a sort of scare that you make for scary someone...but it's look strange...does the word BOO has another meaning? thanks to everybody that can speak english in a way better then me ^^' Title: Re: What does it means...?

Post by: Mr.NoName on October 04, 2010, 03:41:15 pm I looked it up and the lyrics say my boo. This is slang for girlfriend or boyfriend.

Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: blind2d on October 06, 2010, 04:09:24 pm So it's "boo" instead of "beau" now? Or are they the same?
Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: Violent Violet on October 06, 2010, 06:22:30 pm So it's "boo" instead of "beau" now? Or are they the same? But beau is not the french for "beauty"? Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: sjonnoh on October 07, 2010, 10:37:18 am according to the translator it is, though I always thought it was belle
Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: Violent Violet on October 07, 2010, 11:29:33 am Well, "beau" is for male and "belle" is for female...
the female version is similar to the italian one... Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: sjonnoh on October 07, 2010, 12:26:05 pm ah I see...how exactly was it again.....I heard from my sisters friend (which is from Italy) that you also split words in male and female...male ends with "e" and female with "a"....or something like that?
Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: Violent Violet on October 07, 2010, 03:52:41 pm Yeah there are many differences between female and male names.
That's right, most of the female italian names end with "a" and male names end with "o" not "e" For example, usually, the female names' plurals ends with "e" and the male ones end with "i" example: Beauty (singular): Bello (male) Bella (female) Beauty (plural) : Belli (male) Belle (female) Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: sjonnoh on October 07, 2010, 05:11:45 pm glad they keep it easy here in the Netherlands :D
here we don't have male or female words.....just to think Germany also have male and female words (der Ferien (the vacation) die Schule (the school)) How can you actually say that a school is a guy and a vacation a woman? (vonhorz?? :P) Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: vonhorz on October 07, 2010, 06:00:37 pm glad they keep it easy here in the Netherlands :D here we don't have male or female words.....just to think Germany also have male and female words (der Ferien (the vacation) die Schule (the school)) How can you actually say that a school is a guy and a vacation a woman? (vonhorz?? :P) well uhhh first of all its always "die ferien" since its always plural. Actually there is no 100% correct rule to decline the right article since there are to man inregularitys(i hope thats a word) within the german languages so mostly you should learn the words with their article.BUT: even if there are no perfect rule its possible to make a list with wordgroups which are usually male female or neutral. These rules have prioritys which can tell you how relyable they are. for example: 99%(works nearly always): male:Days,months,seasons,weather,alkoholic drinks,cars(by brand and by model),male persons exeption: the word"the season"itself so it works only for winter summer aso.;weather:"DAS gewitter";alcohol:"DAS bier" female:ships/aircrafts/motorbikes(even if they have a male name);female persons;plural(funny thing:"the plural" is male) neutral:Languages;countrys/states(political);Towns 80% If the rules above doesnt work out you can go by the ending of the word but thats a bit wacky since there are many excaptions: (works with words with more then one syllable) Male endings: -er,-ling,-us,-or female: -e,-in,-heit,-keit,-schaft,-ung,-anz,-enz,-ik,-ion,-tät,-ur,-is,-ei,-ade Neutral:-chen,-lein,-at,-ing,-ma,-um,-ment,-eau,-o and words beginning with Ge-. 65% male word endings with one syllable: -b,-d,-f,-g,-ck,-p,-sch,-ch,-s,-ß,-lm there is another rule which fills most of the gaps but its much to type so just say if THAT was to much :D Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: sjonnoh on October 08, 2010, 01:35:16 am I'm really forgetting things after 3 years no German lessons...
wasn't there also something about, for example, that "die" from die Schule can change into something else when some other word stand in front of Schule? (oh and instead of "die" Ferien I actually mean die Urlaub X3) Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: vonhorz on October 08, 2010, 06:33:27 am lawl then its "der urlaub" XD uhh anyways: if you simply creaty new words in putting nouns together you always use the article of the last word
example: Der Reliefpfeiler = Das Relief + Der Pfeiler....oh and read Reliefpfeiler backwards :D Title: Re: What does it means...? Post by: sjonnoh on October 08, 2010, 04:08:26 pm right xD
and how come I changed the der and die with Urlaub en Ferien!?.....and how can vacation be male AND female? :D sometimes languages can be funny..... :P |
