[quote=CARLOS,420816]Today when eating dinner ( duck leg...yummy...) with my wife a strange thought hit the fore section of my brain. I noticed I have a problem with the logic of languages. For example eye glasses. Eye and glass... what could be more logic? Well, in swedish it is glasögon which of course in english means glasseyes. (we call swedes left-handed so they can by all means have their glasseyes) I mean words mean something, yuou know what I mean? But what kind of word is 对不起, duìbùqǐ? 对=correct, 不=no, 起=rise. The only logic in it is that there is no logic whatsoever, or is there? I asked the same from my wife but all she said was that yes, my love, you really have problems... Confused... yes-no-up everyone... Carlos [/quote]
