...when you stub your toe, and your first instinct is to swear in a language other than your native tongue.
I've been bitten by the wanderlust bug too (...again). I'm struggling to juggle five languages as it is, and now I want to study Dutch too! Edited by Levi on 11 February 2010 at 12:41am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

We are really the nerdiest word nerds on the internet, but we would be even NERDIER if we knew how to declare our status in several languages. This is somewhat lazy research from Google Translate, so please correct/add to the list if you know the correct term!
I think I like Linguanerd the best! That would be a cool username.

I would say "kielinörtti." I've never seen "moukka" before and had to look it up. Kieli moukka translates to something like "language boor/peasant" xD 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

You might be a language nerd when you complain to yourself about how school and homework are getting in the way of your learning...language learning, that is. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

You might be a language nerd if the homework that you make this complaint about is for a course in your target language. "But I already know how to use the instrumental, can't we do something more stimulating?!" 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Something like "повернутый на языках", it is not always easy to find a good equivalent for the word 'nerd' in Russian 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

When you stare endlessly at a painting on a friend's wall trying to figure out what script it's written in... only to
discover it was supposed to be a map. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
