Xirana Oximoxi: hello Zaldasan :) good morning
Xirana Oximoxi: Zaldaan, sorry
Zaldaan Sirnah: ehlo Xirana!
Xirana Oximoxi: I'm sorry if you are a veteran of the group and I don't know, but are you the guardian of this session?
Zaldaan Sirnah: I've been in here off and on a while, but I am not registered as a guardian with them as far as I know!
Xirana Oximoxi: ok...I will claim the session then:)... but, you know that our converstion is published on the wiki, isn't it?
Zaldaan Sirnah: Yes
Xirana Oximoxi: ok:) everything ok, then:)
Xirana Oximoxi: is it morning for you?
Zaldaan Sirnah: 1am
Xirana Oximoxi: :)... so you are at the other side:)
Zaldaan Sirnah: What's over there where you are?
Xirana Oximoxi: I'm from Spain...Catalonia:)
Xirana Oximoxi: it's a small part of Spainbut somehow we have our own traditions and different language
Xirana Oximoxi: even if actually small cultures are easy to desapear
Zaldaan Sirnah: lol, different language
Xirana Oximoxi: yes... we speak Catalan:)
Zaldaan Sirnah: Oh I thought everyone spoke the same language
--BELL--
Xirana Oximoxi: it comes also from Latin, like italian or French...but it is recognised as a different language
Xirana Oximoxi: in Sapin, fifferent parts come historically from different kingdoms in the Middle ages, so we keep the old languages, but we are bilingual, so everywhere in Spain Spanish is also the oficial language
Xirana Oximoxi: *Spain
Xirana Oximoxi: I love a comment mage of Steiner, a linguist, that says that every langiage is a way to undesrtand better the world...so, when one of it desapears, we loose understandind :)
Xirana Oximoxi: uff..I misstip a lot today:)..sorry:)
Archmage Atlantis: Hello Xirana, Zaldaan
Xirana Oximoxi: hello Arch:))
Zaldaan Sirnah: he said, "the world"?
Archmage Atlantis: Have either of you claimed the log?
Xirana Oximoxi: well...I have made an interpretation of his words as I remember them.
Xirana Oximoxi: I have Arch... but it will be better you do... you konw better how to put it in the wiki
Archmage Atlantis: And who is Steiner?.......ok, I will Xirana, today, but I would love you to post the log regularly
Xirana Oximoxi: every language has words to name what we see, what we feel, what we think... all we are surrounded... but ech language has differences in the meanings of words.. and that is what makes it special for the understanding
Zaldaan Sirnah: yes, and the grammar
Archmage Atlantis: Ah, the meaning of words and the structure of language
Xirana Oximoxi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner
Archmage Atlantis: ty, Xirana
Xirana Oximoxi: and now..even if Rudolf Steiner is very important, I'm sorry..I was refering to Georg Steiner ..my mistake... :) http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Steiner
Xirana Oximoxi: I've read some of his essays on Compared literatur
Xirana Oximoxi: and now the link in English ..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Steiner
Archmage Atlantis: English is such an absorbtive language.......one of my German friends says English no longer exists on the internet
Xirana Oximoxi: I think today I 'm still half sleeping:)
Archmage Atlantis: It has become internet language
Xirana Oximoxi: oh... I come to SL to practice german!!! and even if it's true English is the langiage of the international comunication, German is still an important language
Archmage Atlantis: The first link was in Basque?
Xirana Oximoxi: it was Spanish:)
--BELL--
Zaldaan Sirnah: I wonder if English is more suited than other languages to become the default language for some reason.
Xirana Oximoxi: I think it is related to power and econoy... English is so important because of the strengh of both
Xirana Oximoxi: *economy
Archmage Atlantis: I learned Castellian Spanish in school.......I could not understand my Cuban friends at all.....
Xirana Oximoxi: oh! very nice... we can practice if you want:))...it's not enough to learn a language if you don't keep practicing:))
Archmage Atlantis: De nada (I think).....it was too many decades ago :)
Xirana Oximoxi: I was very good speaking french... and I nearly forgot it... but now, I can practice here in SL too...it's wonderful:))
Xirana Oximoxi: so, if you have a little patience and speak with your Cuban friends, sure you will recover your Spanish:)
Xirana Oximoxi: and the Cuban Spanish is more musical than our Spanish
Xirana Oximoxi: very nice:)
Zaldaan Sirnah: Why/how is Cuban Spanish more musical?
Archmage Atlantis: Each Central and South American country has their own version of Spanish.......like us and the Brits or the Aussies
Archmage Atlantis: Interesting Zaldaan.....yes, I hear it as more fluid
Archmage Atlantis: Cuban vs. Castilllian
Xirana Oximoxi: it is because the pronuntiation... the phonetic is more soft and the intonation..the way they talk
Archmage Atlantis: It has an African component
Xirana Oximoxi: it's the same language with some differences:)
Archmage Atlantis: More rhythym
Xirana Oximoxi: exactly:))
Archmage Atlantis: And also, more emotion
Archmage Atlantis: expressed, not in the ppl
Xirana Oximoxi: well.... at this point I think the emotion can be the same...but maybe different way to peceive it:))
Xirana Oximoxi: ahh ok:)
Archmage Atlantis: My friends from Finland are more ..... welll something
Archmage Atlantis: It does come through in the internet English they speak (well type actually)
Xirana Oximoxi: ahhh from Findland they are very very special and reserved. I've been learning german in Edu Findland SL and the teacher was living there and she said that it was not easy to be integrated in the community
Archmage Atlantis: No, and the Samu are even more special
Xirana Oximoxi: probably the weather has also a big influss in characters
Xirana Oximoxi: where are Samu from Arch?
--BELL--
Archmage Atlantis: Lapland, northern Finland, Xirana
Zaldaan Sirnah: People interact with others with their own personality as well as the community, and they perceive from themselves.
Zaldaan Sirnah: Is that well thought out?
Archmage Atlantis: Yes. agree. Zaldaan....
Xirana Oximoxi: thank you Arch:9
Archmage Atlantis: That was well said
Xirana Oximoxi: yes... very well said Zaldaan:)
Zaldaan Sirnah: I could have added more words to describe what I was saying more accurately, but it might then tend towards distraction.
Xirana Oximoxi: no distraction:))... and in Sl we learn to jump to one topic to the other or to have two topis at the same time and follow them perfectly..it happens very oft:))
Archmage Atlantis: To me, it was accurate, Zal
Zaldaan Sirnah: I think this group hurts my back.
Archmage Atlantis: :)
Xirana Oximoxi: hmmmm it that good???
Xirana Oximoxi: *is
Zaldaan Sirnah: It might be my chair.
Zaldaan Sirnah: No, it's terrible.
Xirana Oximoxi: ahhh :)) yes... it's important to sit comfortable:)
Xirana Oximoxi: I've though it was an Idiom:)) and I see that you mean that your back really hurts:)
Archmage Atlantis: Then it is not the group that causes the pain......it is the chair.....unless that is a metaphor
Xirana Oximoxi: sitting like a buda is a way to sit correctly? I mean, is it good for the back?
Xirana Oximoxi: hello Joolan:)
Xirana Oximoxi: good morning
Archmage Atlantis: Hello, Joolan
Joolan Resident: hi Arch
Archmage Atlantis: We are discussing language
Joolan Resident: hi everyone else :) oh I see, so sorry to bounce in here forgot I was last here
Joolan Resident: iteresting subject
Zaldaan Sirnah: Hi Joolan
Xirana Oximoxi: nice to see you again Joolan:)
Joolan Resident: and you Xirana
Joolan Resident: hi zaldaan
Archmage Atlantis: I apologize if I offer a card you have already received
Xirana Oximoxi: I gave her last time Arch:)
Archmage Atlantis: ty Xirana
Xirana Oximoxi: yo're welcome:)
Xirana Oximoxi: have you found the solution to the problems you had with your home Joolan?
Zaldaan Sirnah: Why not have an object tracking every visitor which also tallies how many times they've been warned that their quest may be publicly displayed?
Xirana Oximoxi: rezzing and having a lot of lag?
Joolan Resident: Yes I have, its settled now I love it
Xirana Oximoxi: nice:)
Archmage Atlantis: Because Zaldaan, that is an invasion of that person's privacy
Xirana Oximoxi: I undesrstand what you mean Zaldaan.. but if someone comes oft then we know better and don't have to ask this question every time
--BELL--
Zaldaan Sirnah: It can be asked too, "would you mind if we record that you have visited, so we do not need to bug you each time, asking about publishing your visit?"
Archmage Atlantis: Something close to that is in the GoC guidelines, Zal
Zaldaan Sirnah: yeah, I guess it's not too much of a time-consuming thing to be asked repeatedly, at the frequency of PaB guardian turnover.
Zaldaan Sirnah: Okay, back to your discussion.
Xirana Oximoxi: I must go now... it has been a nice time with all of you, thank you!!! and see you soon:)
Archmage Atlantis: Blessings, Xirana, and Namaste
Xirana Oximoxi: sweet dreams to the ones that have still dark outside:))
Archmage Atlantis: :)
Archmage Atlantis: It appears we are here alone, Zal.......do you have some question to ask?
Archmage Atlantis: This is being publicly recorded
Joolan Resident: sorry, disconnected
Archmage Atlantis: Hello Joolan
Archmage Atlantis: I am turning off the recording
