I have some questions concerning Føroyskt mál.
1. Is this text (for Wikipedia) correct and meaningful?
Ungarn (Ungarskt: Magyarország) er lýðveldi í Miðevropu. Í vestri hevur Ungarn mark við Eysturríki, í norðri við Slovakia, í eystri við Ukreina og Rumenia og í suðri við Serbia, Kroatia og Slovenia. Høvuðstaðurin er Budapest.
Antissimo wrote:2. Does the term 'Miðevropa' exist (for Central Europe)?
Antissimo wrote:3. The word 'mál' means both 'language' and 'goal' (e.g. in football), doesn't it?

Antissimo wrote:Thank you for the answers!
Antissimo wrote:More questions are coming though...
4. Do you call 'Ukraine' in Faroese 'Ukraina' or 'Ukreina'? Or maybe both are correct? (Both can be found here: http://www.fmn.fo/listar/lond_og_tjodir/lond-tjodir.htm)
Antissimo wrote:And even more:
5. Are these sentences correct?
- 'Ferenc Puskás (1. april 1927 í Kispest - 17. november 2006 í Budapest) var ein ungarskur fótbóltsleikari.'
- '895 var ungariskur landnám.'
- '10. øld taka ungari við kristindóminum.'
- '1. mai 2004 Ungarn blíva alment limur av ES.'
6. Does 'onki' mean 'nothing'?
Takk fyri,
Antissimo
Antissimo wrote:Thank you very much - and I keep asking questions...
7. How do you say the following:
- 'I like someone/something/doing something.'
- 'Do you like ... ?'
Antissimo wrote:8. How do you form the accusative of nouns? (I suppose you need it to say you like something.)
Antissimo wrote:9. What do these mean:
- 'Útvortis ávising'
- 'Slódir'
Antissimo wrote:10. How can you see which gender a noun belongs to? Are there more rules of this? (You wrote nouns with -ur ending are masculine.)

Ja, og eg eri 'Brúkari:Antissimo'. Mær dámar at skriva í Wikipediuni. Skrivi um Føroyar í ungarsku Wikipediuni.
(trying to form sentences... having problems with prepositions and adjective declination... HJÁLP! )
Antissimo wrote:12. If I say 'Mær dámar Eivør', does it mean that I'm in love vith her (I fancy her), or rather just that I like her music? So if I say something like this, is it possible to misunderstand?
Maybe it's not clear... wait... maybe the difference between 'like' and 'love'... Do you understand what I mean?
Antissimo wrote:13. What does 'bara' mean?

Mulder-21 wrote:Í can govern both acc and dat and the difference is that if there's a movement in the sentence you use the acc and if not the dat. I think it's called static and non-static but I'm not sure.

Ja, og [the other] var Arne List [who] skrivaði um Føroyar í týsku Wikipediuni. [A featured article] eidini.

Similar to German, if I remember well.

Takk fyri!
By the way,
13. is there a stylistic difference between 'takk' og 'takk fyri'?
Antissimo wrote:Mulder-21 wrote:The problem with Faroese is, that it has no 'middle-verb'. You only have the weak 'at dáma' (to like/fancy) and the very strong 'at elska' (to love)
14. So 'Eg elski Eivør' would mean 'I love Eivør'?

Antissimo wrote:15. Do you have to use the personal pronoun (eg. 'eg') in every sentence, if more following sentences have the same subject, or it's enough to use it in the first sentence?

These terms aren't and haven't been used, AFAIK however.

That was my theory too. He he, then I should call you Norwegian.

Well, BMG, but my genealogy studies show, that my genes are mostly Danish. I found one Norwegian branch though, yet their ancestors were Dutch, so... But sure, go ahead
Anyway, Antissimo, back for good?
