You are most certainly not alone!!
Perhaps it's a result of this southern hemisphere heatwave we're having?
Currently 40℃ here in sweltering Sydney...

Lovely. I like it! I like it! There's something about it...

Hi, neighbour! don't often see Aussies round here.
'We're not alone', oh my! possums and kookaburra(s), and glads .... (I got it! I got it! Tell me I got it...) rabbit-holes? (hobbit-holes?) let's not go there...
last time I was in Sydney in January there was a terrific thunderstorm. must be the season, right? and pelicans at the Entrance, and Moreton Bay figs. merry merry king of the bush is he'ee. we could settle down with a Kirin, what do you think? maybe it's/he's your favourite.
Take it easy, mate/materess. Too hot to hustle.
Chinese New Year and Australia Day on Monday, hey.
Have fun!
Lesley

Hello Lingua
You speak Serbian and Croatian, that's very impressive. And so many cases. I'm surprised. I only know NVAGDA, six, from Latin.
We had NZ peacekeepers in Bosnia. We have Dalmatian winemakers in Auckland. And a good tennis player Marina Erakovic and a good singer Tina Cross.
communicologist must be like musicologist, I suppose? Can you explain?
Did you know Marco Polo was Croatian?
Siberian horse pot -> Mongolian hotpot (maybe)... See more Hello Lingua

Hello lai an,
Serbian /Croatian / Bosnian are in fact three variants of the same language. Bosnian is closer to Croatian, i.e. they are both Ieakvian variant, whereas Serbian in Serbia is Ekavian ( Iekavian - Ekavian refers to dialectic differences, basically ).
Indeed, seven cases, changes of gender / number / case suffixes on each noun, verb, pronoun, etc... Also, we are using two alphabets : Cyrillic and Latin.

Ha ha.. communicology is a science that studies all means of communication, communicology, communication language and technology etc.. Briefly, anything related to communication and speech ( both verbal and non-verbal).
Actually, I have worked with some NZ officers while I was employed with British Military. They were all so impressed with continental Europe. I guess it must be looking totally different to them, comparing to Asia, Aussy land and NZ. And I must admit that NZ English is very special . It took me some time to get used to it. The specifics are mostly related to the accent and the way you pronounce vowels, it's not that much about the language structure.
Yes, also, right now, Đoković is playing at Australian Open, he is the current AO champion. . And Jelena Jankovic is also the leading female player.
About Chinese : as far as I remember, Chinese is one of those rare languages with SOV lang. structure ? Or perhaps I mixed it up with some other language ? Or was it VOS ?

That's great! Thank you very much. I'll try to make it shorter, shall I?
Oh wow, your Christmas and Easter is a different time to ours. I didn't know.
Actually, I have a novel about Don Cossacks. They are famous. So, you live in a town... nice. do you ride horses? are they common in your area/neck of the woods? Do you mind, can I ask: are you Russian nationality? or minority?
Dementieva and Vesnina had a good time in Auckland. Dementieva likes Russian literature, she said. We have a new Russian icon in our cathedral, like a Rublev one. You are CIS I think. We British Commonwealth. Ha ha. Do you have any religion? or your town?
About deals? I am not sure... we can talk about milk ...? Are you interested? You are a businesswoman? Only 4 tenses you say. one is conditional. So, Russian is not so hard... And no perfect tenses? Chinese uses a particle for that, '了'. FESCO shipping line calls at NZ ports, maybe you know, from Vladivostock? Maybe you travel by boat sometimes? Maybe the river freezes over in winter, and you can skate? like the Dutch people... (I just imagine ...).
Today is Auckland Anniversary Day, they will have a yacht regatta on the harbour. (On Canterbury Anniversary Day we have an A&P show.) The whole country celebrates Waitangi Day soon; it's about the treaty. And you?
Some things I don't understand ... Anyway, best wishes, and thank you for starting this thread.
Lesley

i think, you'd overcome Russian, if had desire for it. hard parts are written &, probably, cases. however, Russian isn't most hard by it, if to compare with others lang. hmmm..... i've been read about Chinese, a few - don't see reasons to learn his for me: Arabic has no less areal, & is less hard to be learned.
