» boompinho - Hindi as a language that only 'crazy westerners' study

To give comment on the remarks placed by him or her that wants to be a second Erasmus (you can forget that, quit trying): don't judge to quickly my friend, because first of all I'm half Asiatic (Indonesian:muslim country although I'm jewish). So I do know other than 'western mentalities', whatever the content of that may be. As for Hindi, I know it's 'just another language'. Do they have to become difficult to be interesting? Hindi is not the only language that is worth studying. Ill mention some that I have been studying: Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Sardu, Mirandes and Hebrew. 'Zelfgenoegzaam' is not the word for it, but rather 'wijde interesses voor de pracht van diverse talen'.
Just like you try not to prejudice on different languages, for instance those we already discussed (portuguese vs spanish), it is certainly not right for an Erasmus-wannebe (now I can imagine your personality), to guess about people you don't know of. This, notwithstanding the fact that indeed there are a lot of Hare Krishna-nitwits walking around in India.
Namaste Erasmus-jee en tot de volgende keer.
Camelinho (that's portuguese, not spanish!)

Tumhare sar tumhare ghand me hain.

Debe ser la primera vez que uno de los prefijos griegos más conocidos fué traducido como "segundo".

Namaste...

Eto -- nepravil'nyy yazyk! Esli ty interesuesh'sya moim proiskhozhdeniem, chitay eto.

Camelinho (that's portuguese, not spanish!)

Balalão, mesmo macacos nos últimos períodos da loucura sifilítica sabem que "camelinho" é uma palavra portuguesa.

» boompinho - muito bem que você sabe falar português entre os outros idiomas

Namaste,

Tenho que agradecer-lhe, pois você fala muitas lenguas como eu mesmo. Nâo tenho a certeza se os macacos com sífilis sabem distingir entre duas linguas românicas, como você.
Mas no caso de você nâo compreender o significado de tudo isto sem procurar no dicionário, I will return to English.
I hope that you see that I am not some crazy westerner, just caught by the light of Krishna. I also know that 'pseudo' is Old Greek (+/- 500 b.c.) and that is actually means 'fake'.
So let's stop acting so childish. You're way too intelligent for that. But is was nice anyway that you tried the fonetic script on russian. óchenj horoshó!
Adeus, tot de volgende keer (se puoi comrendere le cose que io dico)
