I\'m supposed to help someone translate a letter, and I\'m having a little trouble with the wording.
What\'s better/correct: \'farmers have gathered their crops\' or \'farmers have harvested their crops\' (or is it something else entirely?).
Thanks. I\'ll give an eBlowJob to whoever helps me. ;)
EDIT: Is \'studytrip\' a word? I\'d think so, but I\'m not entirely sure. :)
EDIT2: Can you say \'Many congratulations from my family and I\'?

They\'re about the same thing. Harvested sounds smarter and might imply the use of machinery while gathered would bring to mind people picking crops and tossing them in a barrel or something.
EDIT: Is \'studytrip\' a word? I\'d think so, but I\'m not entirely sure.
Studytrip is not a word.
EDIT2: Can you say \'Many congratulations from my family and I\'?
I\'m pretty sure it\'s proper to say "Many congratulations from my family and me."
I\'ll pass on the ebj.

Thanks a bunch Eik!
BTW, what\'s the word for "study trip" then? I mean, it\'s a trip* you\'re on with your classmates/school. It must be called something in Engrish. ;)
*excursion?

Just for curiousity questions. How many languages do Danish speaks? Is English their native language?

Most Danes speak Danish, English (2nd language) and German or French (3rd language). And since Swedish and Norwegian is similar to Danish we can sort-of speak that too without too much trouble (Norwegian and Danish is very much alike, Danish and Swedish less so).

oh, cool. I think you people will have no problems getting jobs overseas since you can speak multiple languages. One last question I think...Is yodeling originated over there too?

We don\'t really have a word for "studytrip," I don\'t think.
I\'ve heard "study abroad" but that would be like going to school in France or something.
You might just have to describe it as what it is.
If it\'s just a vacation, it might be a "class trip." Like when a class of students go to Disneyland, they take a class trip.
-
Thanks Eik, I think I\'ll just use class trip instead. :)
-
"school excursion" would be the word.

They still call it that. Maybe it\'s an Australian thing.
