It depends how you want to look at it. Spanish is quite widely spoken. So is English.
But isn't Chinese the most spoken language (the most people speak it)?

Spanish +1 :D

It's interesting to read kadaz' posts since I'm suposed to be a translator :lol: and I'm open to every new way of expressions, written and spoken. But still, sometimes it gets hard to understand and it becomes anoying to read twice almost every sentence (in my case :roll: ) to get my mind clear on what i'm reading. I'm mostly onto romanic languages, maybe this is the cause on why I struggle on advanced english compositions but "generally" I have no problems on reading and understanding high level texts of all genres. Personally I don't feel like I would be able to reproduce the same written level (as you may see right now) because my aim is to make myself understood. And If I have the feeling that its not clear for me, it won't be for anyone.

I got no words on eyebo's posts, they're simply well structured and easy to understand.

:clap: Well said eyebo, I like what you said.. TRUE

So when speaking of the most commonly used language in the world, is that saying to subject our personality to the traits of the world? In an comparison void? OR to reason our objectivity so we can rely information correct in order to provide a momentum that is an encouragement flow to grow..

I had a laugh, to explain myself, commonly used language, with the emphasis on the simplicity of it, yet not necessary in the mannerism threads, meaning the fluency, so mind the complications in trying to break the crust, shiver the beads.

The result is, complicational.. are we able to agree that English, in its verbatimicalness, translates more particularly sense worthy? What I mean is in contrast to other languages.. Seeing I don't speak of any another language, in a less dialectical way, understanding it's a thought to point.. this is a question. A word? :)

Interesting, yet.. to bring to point, I would hope that if it was so meant to be said, you would be able to repeat it, till your understood, so not to be "declared" insane.. :D And I like to think that if something be not clear to you, might it be to someone else, so your able to relate straight, personally. Or you get a fubar mixxed cooked nuke.

Words are meant to be shared, and in our commonly used languages, we need to reflect what happens to others inwardly so it provides help for those that lack without.. How might people encourage that. There is a vast of questions to ask and reasoning that we can subject ourselves to further explore the meanings of this..

This topic slowly turns out to be very interesting ;)

Different cultures also express things differently and also more or less detailed, depending on their experience over the hundereds and thousands years of their existence at specific locations.

Let's take one example: the weather.
How many designations are there for the different forms of rain? drizzle, mizzle, mist, shower, etc.

Or take the analogies related to shooting, e.g. "a long shot", which means a target which is difficult to reach.

Other terms might be understandable only in some context, also only in the area of this spoken language.
Which makes it difficult for others to get the actual meaning.

8-) Thanks TMarc for dropping in, and to catch up on those others have followed up, welcome to Knight's Table.

:D We just havn't gotten to the 'ROUND' part of it, so just tug onto table cloth, give it a twist and be patience.

So to elaborate your carry-on TMarc, I can see what differences can be actually 'term' our thoughts, in relevancy of contextual thinking could thwart our thinking pauses.. My question would be, what sort of examples in surrounding experiences that lead you to shy away from being openingly true, least beware your fall into an preconcepational state and start uttering nonsense.

To use an example, lets try to see if we can encourage the evolution process to build a third arm, for example, it probably would be very useful if we try to come up for a reason for it, or perhaps some other extension on our body. But No, we don't need it, and please don't attempt to incite others to follow that inculcate belief, it's insane.

So to avoid the long shot terming/teaming that does predict solutions that would randomize an approach to a situation that is irrelevant to our ever day and age. We are to be mature, informed, least we get a new breed of psychopaths, ie, like the psychedelic hiphop norway mass murder of the camp teens.

Well to slow it down.. and not to mention to many outside resources, or might we start to write a book here. My point of concern in the commoninly used language words, is how it's best explained to allow yourself without deviating from your true from, of culture, religious beliefs.. and basically life, to constitute in being matter of point... without any misconceptions here, like mundane phrases and stuff like that.

:arrow: What's going on here?
