Huh. I don't understand what's so confusing about that. I've never even studied most of those languages, and it all makes sense to me.
I get confused because they're so short that they're not distinctive from language to language and I can't keep track of all the interlingual false cognates.
I know what you mean Katya. A lot of those words you listed are quite hard to learn for people studying so many languages, and the only easy way to get them down is constant casual conversations.
How many languages do you already know?
Besides English, French is the only language I know well.

Boy, you're dumb.
[yellow voice] Ummm, you got that I was joking, right? You don't hate me now, right?
Heh. No, I don't hate you, I just thought that you were genuinely confused. (Now, Thmazing, I hate.)
Good.
Thanks for taking the heat off of everybody T-H.
