Most languages are strange to people who didn't grow up in them.
Personally, I find it strange that a word in German applying only to
females should have a neuter gender, but I'm sure that there are
things in English that look equally strange to Germans, or to you.
>It is a subtility ( or a pain :-)) ) in the french language
When it comes to idioms, every language is subtle and a pain.
>Not sure i make myself clear but i could explain it in french :-))
I'm a native Anglophone, but there are things I wrote in Hebrew that I
found myself unable to translate to English.
