Unknown words

Salam everybody,

The purpose of this subject is to learn some unknown / Stange words or expressions.
I will start myself :

when you say: "I wanna go" / "I wanna help", this means "I want to ..."

anything from your part ?

Good luck

thanks jojo it seems very interesting
"gotta go" means "got to go" (have got to go)

Good Idea Dear Jojo

@abdel: I think jojo would like to talk about some abbreviations as the ones mentioned above
in continuation to Amen's post:
HYG: here you go
PL: please

I want to add "YOP" that is used in american english which means YES .

also "yep" and "plz" respectively for yes and please, isn't it ?

IMHO: In My Humble Opinion.

By the way, I dare you to find the meaning of these two abbr :

I think that's not english, but arabic expressions :

BLF = Baraka (A)LLah Fik
WBF = Wa Fika Baraka

You're OOT my dear Jojo

OOT: Out Of Time?

cette fois ci c'est pour de bon

Bravo Ranou,
Below is a new (more precisely an old) word:

In the anciant English, people used the word THOU as the second person singular pronoun (instead of YOU).

See the table below for more explanation:


Or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou

Salam

I often see thou and ye, they are even used .. isn't it ?

I think that are till used by homer simpson

I think they are still used in litterature and poesy

Two famous and widely used terms :
Mom = my mother
Dad = my father

salam
another abbreviation widely used in companies:
MOM: Minutes Of Meeting

Salam

Thou is still used in religious books (bible)

@Ranou: i dont think that mom and dad are strange words...Please!
