time knows eternity, but love does not.

[zuzia-82]

Does anyone know more sophisticated version of this what is above?
I wish it was more similar to werter's thoughts.
Although I am learning English all the time, I find it as a useful language, not a beautiful one.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. Czy to co napisalam jest poprawnie? Krytyka mile widziana oraz czy mozna powiedziec:
I am learning English all the time, I find it as a useful language, BUT a beautiful one. (gdzies w jakims zdaniu obczailam, ze tak mozna, ale czy naprawde mozna? :))

[wonski81]

>I am learning English all the time,
I think You should use present simple: I learn English all the time.

[zuzia-82]

Wiem co masz na mysli, moge Ci przyznac racje, ale w ten sposob chcialam tym zdaniem wyrazic moje zirytowanie, ze tepa jestem. Ucze sie troche ang, a nic nie czuje z jego romantycznej/pieknej natury, ze juz powoli przestaje w nia wierzyc:). Więc chyba moglby pr. cont. pozostac??

[mudzyn7]

Ale jak mozma to inaczej przetlumaczyc niz: czas moze poczekac, milosc niestety nie

[zuzia-82]

Probuje znalezc ladne znaczenie powyzszego, rowniez w jezyku Shekspira.
Moim tekstem wyjsciowym jest - "czas wiecznosc zna, a milosc nie".
Wnioskuje, ze polski jest najpiekniejszym jezykiem (chociaz wielu nawet nie slyszalam);).

Zdaje sobie sprawe, ze chodzi mi o niuanse, ale w ten sposob zajmuje sobie wolny czas, mam nadzieje, ze pozytecznie:)

> rowniez w jezyku Shekspira.

Thank you, dear Miss M.
I know it.
My question was simply sarcastic.

[mizzmarymary]

oopss.. przepraszam...

[zuzia-82]

mialo byc Szekspir. Zadowolona?

[mizzmarymary]

Zuzia-82, You are correct in your usage of present progressive.
Wonski81-remember that "you" is never capitalized in English except when it begins a sentence--not
even for emphasis. Polish is different in this way. :))

[mudzyn7]

We (polish people) capitalize some pronuons, like you or yours (Ty, Wy, Wasze)
only as a courtesy. (so you let the guy know you don't think low of him/her).
It was a rather interesting tidbit, if I may say so of information, that in english you don't do it...I'm gonna let you (You) comment about it. hehe

[mudzyn7]

comment on...

[mizzmarymary]

Comment about, or comment on... both are correct. :)))
English is a very informal language as opposed to Polish (or for that matter most languages). There is no
formal vs informal you. "You" is just you and is for everybody including --uggghh George Bush or Lech
Kaczynski (I don't care for him). It is NEVER capitalized in the middle of a sentence to show emphasis--
it's just not. In English there is no emphasis as in Polish (Ty, Cie etc). English is a great leveler of class
and position.

Except that BIG, egocentric, selfimportant "I".
Every time I write I, I feel I should kiss my own hand :])

[mizzmarymary]

Yup--you're right on the money. I can't speak for the other English speaking countries but for Americans
(myself excluded), "I" always capitalized is perfect. As a country, "I" is overvalued and "we" could be
included a whole lot more. Can you say Iraq war??? I rest my case.
MMM

[mudzyn7]

Thanks for the answer Mary, it certainly helped.
