Eccentric Hero Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) Hehe. I love being able to easily tell my age with the year. An amazing coincidence that 3 Muslims that are active on the Shard can speak Urdu. I think we should have Urdu conversations so no one can understand us. >: D I am tan, have black hair and very dark eyes. Can you guys guess my heritage? That's right; I'm Alethi! I wear glasses. Also, I think my eyebrows are like Brandon Sanderson's, except it's my right eyebrow that has that inwards bend. (I just noticed the eyebrow similarity today. I wonder how many people have that type of eyebrows.) Spoiler Edited September 5, 2016 by Eccentric Hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samaldin Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I´m 24 although i forget that all the time (last time i was asked (3 weeks ago) i couldn´t remember and after some thinking said 23 which a friend pointed out was false...). In my defense after you turn 18 age doesn´t really matter anymore (i´m german so i can drink and vote and everything with 18). I have dark brown hair and relativly light blue eyes, i dont realy have a tan but i´m not exactly pale either (no idea how to describe my skintone better). I´m rather heavy with my 101kg (222lb) and also rather tall (189cm/ 6,2ft), but i have wide shoulders, so i get told one doesn´t really think i´m that heavy^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverblade5 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Just now, Mistrunner said: Hello, my fellow teenagers! It seems there's been an influx lately. I'm barely 15, so I'm slightly older than most of you! So there! On topic... My arms are uneven in level of tan. I only really go outside for extended periods of time for marching band, and because my right arm is on top of the instrument and my left arm is underneath supporting it, my left arm is noticeably lighter than my right. It's a little odd. Silverblade, no dad jokes until you have children.

Because clearly you all know what phylacteries and tabernacles are, right? I call it Hebrish. It rolls off the tongue better. My sister and I speak English and Hebrew well, being raised in both Israel and Canada. Our younger siblings, however, have been raised only in Israel and the only English they hear is from home. Therefore, whenever they speak English, it comes out Hebrish. It also occurred to me that when they grow up, they'll probably have different accents than me and my sister as well as a different preferred language. It's weird to think about.

That does sound better. But more like its Hebrew-ish than Hebrew+english. A bilingual cousin of mine, when he was like 4 or 5 or so, goes "Baruch Ata Hashem.....Al To Wash Yadayim." It was adorable. (For everyone else: Its a blessing relating to washing hands the words he should have said were Al Netilat Yadayim - Yadayim means hands). 2 hours ago, I_am_a_Stick said: Basically, Hindi is (among other languages) spoken in India, when Urdu is commonly spoken in Pakistan (also among others) But both are written the same?

Urdu and Hindi are very similar but not exactly the same either. It's weird Arabic isn't related to the two languages at all. Though the alphabets are almost the same, the language itself isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
