Dan: "...............in the Spanish language (which is pretty similar to Portuguese I think..?) that any word ending in -ito means "smaller" or something... example: hermano = brother, hermanito = little brother. I'm probably wrong though.

Brad : No Dan, you're correct. In spanish the 'ito' suffix creates the affectionite form of a word (used with family, close friends, things you love, etc.), although it can also be used to describe things that are little (a puppy would be a perrito rather than a perro which means dog). And yeah Spanish and Portuguese have a lot of similarities so that's quite likely the case.

NOTE: references to the Spanish language.

Brad responded to Dans reference regarding Spanish language, he did not in any of this post say 'YES this is his name and this is what his name means', he merely confirmed that Dans idea re how Spanish works is correct.

However he then says:


"And yeah Spanish and Portuguese have a lot of similarities so that's quite likely the case."

saying it is likely not the case...he did not say ' IT IS THE CASE'

Thus he
1) confirmed Dans assumption re Spanish language was correct and then
2)confirmed it was fair assumption re the name

but did not as you say state it as factually correct 100%

no one was wrong, however they may have been irrelevant

 

You were wrong and must, according to sciforums tradition, commit Harakiri.

 

Dan said "I KNOW in the spanish language...

Brad was telling Dan he was correct about something Dan was never in doubt of. Brad assumed Dan was in doubt of the Spanish situation....but Dan already said "I know" in the spanish language....so why would brad tell him he's correct about something he was never in doubt of?

He said, "No Dan, you are correct."

The only part that Dan was unsure of, was the possibility of it being his baby name. He KNEW about the spanish situation already. Therefore, Brad assumed incorrectly and said, "No Dan, you are correct" and proceeded to talk about the Spanish situation as if Dan didn't know that. Do you understand now?



P.S. What is hakariki? ;p

 

Dan was in doubt he said:

"Dan: "...............in the Spanish language (which is pretty similar to Portuguese I think..?) that any word ending in -ito means "smaller" or something... example: hermano = brother, hermanito = little brother. I'm probably wrong though. "

Thus doubting the accuracy of his own comment

you are not that bright, do not advertise yourself as such

 

So he 'knows' and then 'doubts' himself at the same time? Realllllllly?

Or perhaps he 'knows' about the spanish situation which he went on to explain and only doubted if it was possibly his baby name?

I'll ignore your responses from here on. You smell like a troll.

 

yipee, a 14yr old has me on ignore, fabulous, I can rest easy

oh and do look up definition of troll while you are at it.


meanwhile:

Dan: "...............in the Spanish language (which is pretty similar to Portuguese (I think..?) that any word ending in -ito means "smaller" or something... example: hermano = brother, hermanito = little brother. I'm probably wrong though.

all of this implies self doubt with regard to what he was writing and he was thus seeking reassurance, note the '?'

 

Dude who cares? If he wants to remain wrong that is his right.

 

Yeah it's trivial. fishing for your opinion though

 

A tao poem/The intelligent win arguments and loose, the foolish lose arguments and sulk, the wise refuse to argue and gain, the person close to tao does not argue, because they have nothing to say.

 

you really are having trouble understanding print aren't you?

He told you his opinion

 

"Your current name is Sergio, however, you used to be sergiorito..... was that a nickname your parents called you?"

That's what I wrote. The rest of the text in your quote attributed to me is not by me, it's by Brad.

Thanks for your opinion though. I definitely learned something about those languages.

 

Ok, let's get nitty and picky and gritty and pull the bloody posts apart (what can I say? I'm bored). Mr. Brad asserted this:

Correct about what? Dan made two points:

and

Which was Brad confirming? It could really be either. A lot more uncertainty is expressed in Dan's first suggestion than the second one, but then again there's also Brad's ensuing discussion about the Spanish language. Finally there's this:

What's quite likely the case? That the 'ito' suffix is used the same way in Portuguese as it is in Spanish, or that it has something to with Sergio's old username? I'd put my money on the latter (not that it really matters - Brad didn't make a definite claim), but again, it's ambiguous. In other words, not only is the argument about whether Brad was right or wrong trivial, its pointless and unresolvable.

Do you really want to know? Or do you want a thead supporting you that you can show off to Brad & co.? Seriously, don't go trying to rub people's trivial mistakes in their faces like this. I'd put it in the same category as condemning a poster on the grounds of a typo or bad grammar.

 

I am sorry, I was not going to do that, I promise. I was just curious.

Thank you for the input. I needed neutral opinions, that's all.

P.S.pryzk, what is Hakiriki? seppuku, what?

It's quite a harsh way to go, but we all knew the risks when we signed up and bound ourselves to the Agreement. We still support it, despite the toll it has taken on our community: there were once over 17 thousand members here; now we're down to 50 or so active posters.
