hmm try: TomenAtatenTomaten,TomatenAtfrat <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Tomaten (plural) = Tomatoes (plural)

Potatoe = Kartoffel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Potatoes = Kartoffeln -> plural forms in German often with adding an "n" or "en".
often = oft , almost similar meaning

Potatoe for ever.

That's why I wrote it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

All singing and all dancing new PC i take it Lews, give us the specs then mate.

well in dutch patatoes are aardappels, like the french pommes de tere it littarally means earthapples.

But the flemmish like to call them "patatten"

as the french like to call them "patates" even if "patates" is another root well it is approximately same thing but more sweet...

strange thing... well maybe not so strange... flemmish are influenced with wallon language i think...

In the german Version of "Lords of the Rings", the Hobbits call them "T�ften".

damm..
i don't have any potatoes left anymore..
and on a sunday the stores are closed... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

We call them SPUDS down yer in Devon and up North they call them TATTIES.

flemmish has been greatly influenced by french, especially west-flemmish. Dutch however has also some words directly taken from the french, like "paraplu" or "punaize". Many believe those words to be dialect but they are correct Dutch and not the so called real ducth words repsectivly "Regenscherm" and "Duimspijker".

But what you gonna do about it?

Declare war! They're obviouslly begging for it! Show no mercy!
