Hey, thank you for your friendly welcome. I do hope I do not have too many questions, 'cause I've got a German and a French Wikipedia account. But we'll see. It's much easyer here in english Wikipedia than in French.--Fecchi 19:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, very good! You might be interested in helping out at Translation then - I'm sure there's several articles they have that we don't.
 * In response to your questions on my talk page, "ka-nigit" is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail - I'm assuming you've never seen the movie, but in one scene King Arthur is called a "silly ka-nigit (knight)" (among other insults) by a rather rude French guard. As for a Grammar Nazi, it is completely harmless, it just means I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to proper grammar at times. If it's at all offensive, please let me know, and I'll take it down.

 * Oh okay. Sorry for my vulgar choice of words. I'm a little sensitive against the word nazi.--Fecchi 12:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello there!
It's good to see you here on the English Wikipedia. I can't imagine being able to speak three languages that aren't your native language. Corvus coronoides talk 13:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm learning my fourth now.I'm in a special class, where we have 3 languages, now I'm studying Italian at an acedemy. It's no problem for me. I find it easy. I often notice French, English or German people do not speak so many languages (in Germany often English and a little French - or only a bit English)--Fecchi 19:47, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I take German in school, so my German is very poor, and I took one year of French. Corvus coronoides talk 21:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * How old are you, then? German isn't easy because Grammar is very hard, I think.--Fecchi 13:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I am in high school. I think German is easier than other languages because English and German come from the same root. Corvus coronoides talk  02:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's true. But I never have had to learn German in school.--Fecchi 17:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, thank you. "Autobahns and Bundestraßen"- that sounds funny.--Fecchi (talk) 13:09, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for asking. It derives from Zeitgeist, which consists of zeit (English: time) and geist (English: spirit/ghost). "Gespenst" (English: ghost) is a similar word in German but relates more to the physical appearance.--Zeitgespenst (talk) 01:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh? that's interesting.--Fecchi (talk) 09:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Good to see that John MacAdam now has an article in German. A great trivia night question in Australia is "Which nut was named after the man who umpired the first ever match of Australian rules football?" --Roisterer (talk) 22:43, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Roisterer. I don't think his main credit was umpiring the first Australian Football match and I'm not shure if I have just found some irony on my discussion page when I read your comment.--Fecchi (talk) 22:38, 4 December 2009 (UTC) P.S.:But I'm shure (sic!) I found a spelling fault in my answer above.--Fecchi (talk) 20:45, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
