communication with his hands - a visit in the Münsterland school

Jasmine & Sophia Helton Firgau

Münsterland The school has a fiber optic cable (Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe) is funding school funding priority listening and communication. Currently there are about 70 teachers and 220 pupils. In school, hearing-impaired children are taught by 5 to 14 years. On the basis of disability of children in this school besides the spoken language, the German sign language is spoken. Without exception, all teachers of this powerful way of communication, so a smooth communication between humans is possible. (Right: sign for butterfly)

students from several counties and cities every morning to be picked up by a taxi and taken to the school. Children from further away, take part, up to three hours for a walk, as this form of school in Germany, only a few times is represented. Students have the opportunity to go after attending the special school in Münsterland to secondary school. The main school is also in Münster in the Disability complex, the secondary school is in Dortmund and the school is responsible in Hamburg.

Pupils should be taught in small classes as of about six students, which must be present in each class at least two teachers. These provisions an individual funding. You can respond to the wishes and needs of children and solve potential problems quickly and effectively. The Münsterland school is also a school, can learn from the hearing children of deaf parents learn the spoken language and hearing parents with deaf children in sign language. The entire Münsterland school is housed in a handicapped school complex in Münster, on the in addition to a special school for speech and physically impaired, a building was built for the visually impaired. In early intervention in the Martin-Luther-King-kindergarten, children learn early on to learn sign language or the Lormalphabet. The Lormalphabet is a manual alphabet for deaf blind people which has been developed. On one hand letters are shown, which are joined to form one word. (Lormalphabet see right)

In the Münsterland school are only children with hearing impairment or hearing-impaired parents included, otherwise the rush of hearing Children who are learning German sign language, would be too high and their schools could no longer be guaranteed.

One morning we went spontaneously on the way to kindergarten, the school center, the Münsterland school belongs. We arrived exactly at the first big break. The children rushed out of the classroom, grabbed their jackets and welcomed us with joy, especially Jasmine, who had been here a month before her high school internship program and the children were very dear to the heart.
Jasmin had been taught me, to, sign language, "Hello, My name is Sophia to say "and it made me enjoy this then apply the same. Jasmin mastered the sign language fluently, I can not say of me, unfortunately, but still I knew a lot, because sign language is very logical and many gestures commonly used in almost all human beings. Thus, a waving hand means nothing other than a hello. agreed
With sign language you but still not quite as one might think perhaps it should. Rather, it is important to talk to also, as many deaf people as well can see from the lips and some even speaking relatively well mastered, which surprised me very much.

Even Start was played during the break, but of course not counting but with a loud show of numbers by the appropriate gestures.
We were lucky and were allowed to go to the swimming lessons. Very impressed me how happy the children in the water. especially wet spraying them made a lot of fun and I thought it was great to be able to communicate with them myself, although I do not know the sign language. But body language actually mean every person and it was funny to learn that some gestures that I even used official sign are.
course one can also see things not only positive, because it is considered that the deaf and multiple disabilities are also often excluded or can not be regarded as equivalent. Sometimes it's people without disabilities also hard to put themselves in these people and apply the necessary patience.
but I can conclude by saying that I liked the atmosphere in the Münsterland school very well, also because the teachers are generally very motivated and have a strong interest in promoting the children really individual.

silence does not mean "- not - say"

Joanna Paderewska

What is "this" communication, which has become in today's world one of the main themes of various seminars and conferences? The word communication comes from the Latin and means communicare communicate, share and do together. The ability to communicate in every area of human activity is of great importance. Indeed it is - if one illuminates the lives of all sides - the only activity that is common to all. Thanks to the communication (ie the exchange and transfer of information, feelings and experiences, etc.), the distances between People will overcome. These distances can be avoided thanks to the various types of communication, but the non-verbal communication is now very highly.

Since it does beg the question whether in fact an understanding without words is possible. Communication consists not only of the verbal communication of information. More than two-thirds of the exchange in a running conversation about the visual or acoustic channel. In order to understand the importance of nonverbal communication can also, you have to be aware that this takes place at different levels. On non-verbal communication includes gestures, namely, facial expression, Posture, stress and intonation, which do we have to communicate successfully. The use of gestures, facial expressions and body postures is part of the social and language is undeniable to the human culture.

"A friendly look, a gesture of affection is more than words." (Anna Strafinger). Among them is to understand that sometimes you do not need words to communicate. The effect of body language is often very powerful, and words have made it difficult to deny him. This can reinforce by example: head nod indicates (but does this mean in Greece and Bulgaria negation). This is the so-called conscious nonverbal Communication in which one learns various non-verbal expressions and rehearsed, in contrast, is on the unconscious or partially conscious non-verbal communication, such as perspiration, heart rate or pupil change, not possible to retain control. leaves as an example of a set of Friedrich Nietzsche. "They lie well with the mouth, but with the mouth, which you do this, they say still the truth"

As I said, you can learn conscious non-verbal expressions, in order to use positive communication as a panacea, can be solved with the problems of all kinds. Through conscious communication behavior, we can use our interpersonal Contacts more successful and benefit from, so shoot in the world today and continuing education seminars on nonverbal communication, such as mushrooms, in which one learns various tricks to successfully and effectively communicate with others. A "self-confident handshake" of the seller, supportive gestures with his hands in the dialogue, Smiling at the person opposite and "Poker Face" of the card players how to contact only the examples of the tricks that people use in order to sell well. How can you sell really well at the interview?

According to the testimony of Ulla Krawczyk, theater educator from Hagen, it is advisable to heed these tips:

first The "Make Nice" is now very highly regarded because the society as in the term "neat" and thus is more attractive appearance. But according to Ulla Krawczyk is a smile that comes from the heart of the most beautiful make-up.

second You should by no means imitate other people to impress some, such as celebrities, but play their own role, because only it is convincing.

third Maintaining eye contact! The "firm view" means attention and serenity.

4th Open hands to show that you come with peaceful intentions. But as far as the handshake, you have to more traditional rituals of the respective Provinces.

5th One should observe the rules of successful body language. (According to Ulla Krawczyk signaled only a natural physical relaxation and serenity fear freedom and sovereignty). See pictures below!

6th Gestures - skillful use of hands can emphasize our statements or contradict them.

a first impression, there is no second chance draw in today's world, communication scientists our attention to the fact that people are being assessed at a glance and to the exterior, although the first impression is deceptive sometimes. One example has a job interview , Cited in which a candidate with very high skills and diverse knowledge in dirty clothes, name basis with chewing gum in the mouth, the employer. What do you think he got the job?

It would always follow the advice of the advantage of communication researchers about body language and other forms of nonverbal communication in order to represent all. The benefits of effective nonverbal communication (of course related to verbal communication) are so numerous because they are all areas of life - improve - from personal to professional.

giraffe language - the concept of Nonviolent Communication

Sophia Firgau
"premises immediately your toys away, or I'll throw them away!" Or "Can you please put away your toys, so I feel comfortable in our house? " Two very different ways of representing the same situation.
on which of the two Aufforderun gene would you react sooner?




It's amazing how much we can change our everyday atmosphere when we formulate requests as their own needs and not as an attack.
That's what the creator of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Marshall B. Rosenberg in the confrontation with the American civil rights movement in the early 1960s developed.
GfK assumes that it reflects the basic nature of man, the good of others to contribute. It is not technology but rather an attitude, the appreciation of the other person is paramount. Rosenberg is also called "the language of the heart" or "giraffe language" in contrast to the "life-border communications sent externally," the "wolf language '.
GfK can be used in many areas and is mainly used for peaceful conflict resolution. It is also influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and his reflections on violence.
The GfK course it is not the avoidance of physical violence, no, words can be very hurtful. It's about avoiding the "language of violence" by trying to identify the needs of the other person and respond accordingly to. The non-violent communication consists of four steps:
The first step is the observation. It is neutral, that is, without judging or blaming. In the case example used would mean "your toys lying on the ground" (and not: "You always do this mess in the living room"). For the second statement would come directly to defense, while the first, an assessment is free expression. In the second step is
expressed the feeling , which is in connection with the observation: "I'm angry!". It is to ensure that only "real" feelings are expressed. "It is unimportant to you, to donate such a disorder. I totally feel provoked. "This statement is not move from true feelings, but from accusations that will make the other person only to the offensive and defensive. In the third step is
formulated their own need . This is particularly negative feelings often hard to detect and requires some practice.
In our example, it is in essence to the need for order and the subsequent relaxation and well-being. Unfortunately, this need is often not clear, but the other is attacked out of anger, although the need actually is not to hurt the others do.
In the fourth and final step it is now is to formulate a concrete Please . In the beginning, to have two sample sets were called. Here it is important to distinguish between requests and demands: a real request is only a request, even if it is "no" can be answered. Demands often provoke resistance and rejection, however, real requests are often happy to meet voluntarily once the need of the other person is detected.

Maybe it sounds, the model of Nonviolent Communication at once very complicated and theoretically and the odd can of course very doubtful at this point that this is also practical in everyday use.

"First, what people say when they hear of these four steps, as simple as that. The second thing they say is how difficult it is. We are just not used to it, without violence to communicate. This is also related to the power structures in which we were all brought up and where we live, "says GfK's trainer Teschner Isolde in Munich.

should I believe this model, however, be cultivated. There are now some GfK coach and seminars and Marshall B. Rosenberg has even a specially adapted approach to children.
We see only too often, is how to deal with violent conflicts and escalate it.
hope for me is that the concept of Nonviolent Communication has even been successfully used for conflict resolution in areas of conflict such as Israel, Palestine, Serbia and Rwanda and will be.

communication disorders

by Paweł Szczepanik, Karolina & Zaborska Maciej Latocha

Who communicates these days does not? Everyone who takes part in the communication process, encounters various problems. We can divide these problems into many groups. Of course, there is no way to describe each group. For this reason we have chosen three that are in our opinion, of particular importance. In the first part of the information is about gender differences. The second part presents differences between older and younger people. The third part introduces us to the problem of communication in different occupational groups. Please click and read!




I can say in twelve foreign languages 'no'. That's enough for a woman.

by Paweł Szczepanik

If you want to talk to others, one must know whether you talk to a woman or a man. This is a very important thing, because men and women use different words and can lead to misunderstandings. Communication between the sexes can also be very funny.

An example: One shows a woman and a man into a car.

The man would talk about all the features of the car, how much horsepower it has and of course the speed limit. The sought-wife would just say, yes, the car is red. So we put the attention on other things.

Differences are so large that the people do not understand each other so well. John Gray has written a book titled "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.'' Although both sexes are quite different, they can live together and start a family.

Communication is also difficult, because men and women have different gestures and facial expressions. The women, for example, talk about feelings and use Theorem compounds. The men make many mistakes and speak with pauses. Men generally have an asymmetric, relaxed and engaging space posture. This is reflected for example in a wide-legged Stand on the hips and arms. This signaled a willingness for a fight and gives the opposite impression of aggressiveness. Thus, try men the space that surrounds them to control and maintain their position in it. Women, however, have a more symmetrical, narrow and contracted posture. This shows, for example, sitting in the fact that women hit their legs and have their hands resting on his knees. This ideal type of female posture signals compared to the idealized male body posture rather weak and restraint.

There is still a sensitive subject that with women and Men is connected. When it comes to such as Facebook or Nasza-klasa goes, the people on the Internet are very brave. The boys are not afraid to talk to a girl. But if the young people meet at school, they can not say 'hello'. So the social networks are not good for all people. It is so here and can cause problems with communication in real life have. It istnicht good if you just ties over the computer new contacts. It leads to situations that are known not real life. The contacts between young people play an important role. People should not destroy it.

One can easily observe that the communication much in our world important. One must be careful to maintain the balance between the Internet and 'real' life. Although there are many difficulties, we should not forget that we live together on earth.

"But I speak Polish!"

Karolina Zaborska

When the people who are at an advanced age, knows, you know that it is sometimes very difficult to communicate well with them. Such situations occur most frequently when this old person as a result of illness or bad experiences has its own views. But we should continue to keep contact between people with honor, even if it could be a great challenge.

As a bit of theory, the generational differences is a contradiction in the interests and beliefs among family members. Such problems could already be found in Greek mythology, where Kronos rebelled against his father Uranus. Nowadays, the concern to the views of young and old to new technology and so on. But where do these communication problems?

Every young person is experiencing a period of protest against everything that she does not like. That is, young people agree with the views of parents or grandparents not to, so they exchange of both opinion and often leads to quarrels. What could we do so in order to improve communication between older and younger people?

When it comes, we should not forget that the physical changes have an impact on relations with our elderly family members. When you get old, the hearing also poor and this can often lead to misunderstandings. The is, the caller asks the elderly to speak to younger, louder and younger will be irritated. So what could you do with it? Without doubt, one should speak primarily loud, slow, clear and unambiguous. Then you could understand everything the older and the younger would not have to repeat everything again.

The other problem that interferes with communication, is that old people sometimes want to remember their past. I like the most of us, because we are young, live in other times and it's all for us is quite impossible to imagine. But we should very understanding be. Let them speak out, we hear too simple and we try to imagine how we would behave in their old age.

which still leads to difficulties in communication, is the knowledge of our older interlocutor. The generational differences can namely lead to understand the young receiver or not accept their views. That does not mean we should deny or ignore their opinions. One should take care that they spent their youth in other times and that they all have different experiences. Therefore, we should be very careful to make them any grief. And even if all this is very difficult, we should keep contact with the elderly because it can give us very much.

opinions of respondents:

Henry G. (70 years):


"You can not understand the now almost adolescents. Well, of course I love my grandson, but I think sometimes that we live in two different worlds. The age difference and the difference in behavior have contributed to that sometimes we can not find any understanding. Nowadays the young people do not appreciate what they already have. They are totally consumer-oriented. They say all the time, "Give" and "Give", and give nothing themselves also use the slang, curse and do not care of it, took what our fathers fought. Quite the opposite - they want to destroy it. Of course I love my grandson, but I am aware that I can not ask him now that he would be as I was in his senior "

Paweł Z. (10 years):

." Grandpa is great, but sometimes he moans and I do not understand why he herummäkelt me. Now make all the people. He understands people of what I say to him. That is, he knows either do not mean what the words, or he simply did not hear what I say. He also says that I should speak to him in Polish. But I can speak Polish! "

How can I communicate with a computer?

by Maciej Latocha

There is no doubt that each profession has its own jargon, but you can not read in mind that some groups are very serious problems in communicating with other people have. For this purpose, it can certainly count the computer. Where is the problem?

is first important to emphasize that these days imagine life without the computer can not. Since the computer is used in every part of our lives, the people who are familiar with the computer are so very popular. The average man can certainly write an e-mail or read the messages, but if he must do something more difficult, there are often problems. If you want to get back, for example, a deleted file, you must ask the computer for help. In most cases, it seems that the Computerlaie has no idea how he can describe the problem only.

Here you get to the first base of the dispute - the difference in Vocabulary. Such terms such as "the Frame" or "the memory is clocked at 400 MHz, are quite foreign to most people. In addition, the computer scientists have a precise thinking mind, so they believe that the records say that other people are senseless and illogical.

It is particularly important to change this situation. Of course, today every student and student computer science education, so the situation is getting better. The current young people have no problems, both with computer use, and with the contact with the computer. On the other hand, there still remains the problem in the older part of society, eg for pensioners. Fortunately, now operate special charities that help people with such concerns and support them for free. Thanks to such activities, the communication between computer scientists and other people over time is always easier.

Computer scientists are still a profession that is not easily understood by the rest of society, but one can speculate that this will change in the future the situation and the fact that we will always have less computer layman.

opinions of respondents:

Karol Dankiewicz (23)
computer

"I am not good with people To communicate with no knowledge of computer science. They do not understand Gründbegriffe from my tray. When I talk with you, I have to tell them all without exception. Although I am not quite satisfied, but it annoys me not because I'm very patient. I do not expect to inspire all of computer science. It would be good if they would also know a little about it. "

Adriana Mankiewicz (17)
Computerlaie

" If it goes for me personally, I've never been interested in computer science. I have a few friends who know about it. Frankly, it bothers me when they are in everyday conversations difficult Use technical terms. The computer should take into consideration that the others must have no such knowledge, otherwise it will lead to misunderstandings, we have to do it with no effective communication. "

history of communication - influence of the hieroglyphs to SMS

Piotr Gruszka

General

Today, the single failure in communication, only the lack of desire to share information. It used to be but not as beautiful and just like now . As we know there were a thousand years, no phones, internet and mobile phones. It was always very important to communicate with others because it is impossible without information flow is to exist.



presented and graphics, that over time more and more types of communication needs. Communication between different individuals in the course of evolution has ever developed. That is so connected, that the need of communication sources the greater the more people there are in the world. It is notable that the time between new discoveries, is becoming increasingly shorter.



Klaus Merten: evolution of communication, in: Merten / Schmidt / Weischenberg (Ed.): The reality of the media. An Introduction to Communication Studies. Opladen 1994, p. 142

speaking and writing 10 000 BC

The first was the language of communication. This one could but get no information. That is why we developed the script and characters. Sumerian cuneiform (pictured right) Egyptian hieroglyphs (first finds: receipts for payments received) [3200-3000 BC] This was not only the above information, but also the knowledge of the past just to know through written texts to learn. There were problems too. Only a close circle of people had access to journals. These were mostly religious and scientific

Letterpress

first in the fifteenth century Johannes Gutenberg came up with the idea that fonts should be public. The printing press was certainly a break. It is said that the Middle Ages is over at this time. Later there for a long time only further developments, such as. For example, first newspapers and magazines to the nineteenth century.

Radio waves

, the century of knowledge ". In 1833 they invented the telegraph, and in 1895 it was already on the radio. For people meant that they could communicate between continents without travel. That was certainly a big step for the economy, politics and much more.

mobile

In the beginning, cell phones rarely used because of its weight and size. Nowadays almost everyone has their own mobile phone. The majority of young people can not live without a cell phone. It is a travel set, because you can always be reached thanks to him. Currently, there are almost no differences between mobile phones and computers, but only if it is about communication. All modern mobile phones have access to the Internet, which is arguably the most important communication medium.

computer and Internet

The first computer was created at the end of the nineteenth century. These early computers are different,''minimal in appearance and functionality compared to today. It was the first computer to use them independently, because he was quite large, as well as three rooms. After a hundred years, the computer has a base for almost everyone. One can not ignore the Internet: it enables one to do practically everything from home. In addition, the communication is much faster than before. Knowledge is related to low cost Man is always and everywhere available. WWW stands for World Wide Web. With the Internet write e-mails, forums, or visit Chat rooms and video conferencing out. It's hard to imagine that one could eventually communicate better than today.

future?

Nowadays it is believed that it is not possible in the future is to invent faster and more functional types of communication. But who knows? Perhaps in 10 years more advanced devices are available that allow telepathic talk to?

What Are The Parts Of The Skeletal System

How Social Networks Face - to-face communication?

by Michal Mielnik

Nowadays it is impossible not to notice this phenomenon. Regardless of whether one, either every day or sitting in front of the screen has nothing to do with the Internet, you can hear many, many times words like Facebook or Nasza-Klasa in Poland and Germany SchülerVZ. "What do they mean?" These websites are among the social networks that are represented around the world.

According to Wikipedia, social networks are slang for a form of network communities, which technically Web 2.0 applications and portals are hosted. In English, there is the precise concept of social network service . The German terms "Community Portal" or "online network of contacts" are rather less common.

These web portals allow us to function normally, as to have a Personal Profile that allows users blaspheme participate in such networks. This means that you own write wall posts and join various groups can. It is also possible to have a mail box, so that messages to other members able to write. By and large, they allow social networks to communicate with users to contribute to, and find other members from around the world. On some sites, it is also possible to read new messages, to make different types of quiz and more.

To reflect on the magnitude of this phenomenon in mind, one must see the number of participants. A true leader is facebook.com 400 million personal profiles. Every day, people create new accounts with networks. The number of Polish nasza-klasa.pl user's scary. In Poland, 38 million people live and the largest Polish social network has 27 million active profiles. Yes, of course, not all are genuine, but nevertheless, this is really very, very much, right? So one can safely say that every other person in Poland used nasza-klasa.pl . And today, more and more people sign in at facebook.com .

This development is so present that it affects the everyday life of course. From my own experience I can say that such Internet services have huge potential for addiction. People often all you need to be logged in constantly. They use every opportunity to To view current news, they always have to know what their friends and so on and so forth. It often means that they have no time for the people in the real world, but prefer to share with them through the Internet in connection face-to-face communication loses out. online friendships are becoming increasingly important, people need less and less direct contact and talk to the people with whom they want to do anything normally. This situation should be alarming, because unfortunately no one knows exactly what it may lead.

am For this reason, I get the idea, a few to ask people some questions. I want to know what they think and what experiences they have with social networks and about how often they visit such sites.

Dominika - 20 years old law student from Lublin

"It is well known that a change has taken place in communications. People want to handle banking matters by not only computers but also communicate over the Internet. This has many serious consequences. First, the language is botched because it uses many Abzu cuts that are grammatically incorrect total. This was primarily a very negative impact on young people, which then can hardly express. I also find it sad that people avoid personal contact with others. Therefore, I must admit that I am not arguing for the social networks "

Julian -. 16 years old, students in Münster.

"I personally use a lot of social networks, such as SchülerVZ, Facebook or Solarnet - international. I think that these networks are important and useful, but should not be used as the main means of communication. Particularly useful are Social networks when with friends who wants to communicate live far away "

Joanna -. 21 years old, medical student from Lublin

"Thanks to the social networks we have many options available to stay with friends from all over the world here. Although they are time eaters and it is very difficult to do without the social networks that I value them as positive. For this reason I have an account on facebook.com use this social network and contacts with friends to care for them constantly informed his "

Tim Karis -. 29 years old, communication experts from Münster

"are computer scientists, instead of laughing, sometimes regularly," LOL, LOL "cry. But this is certainly the exception. Otherwise, I am assuming that the communication in the Internet the spoken language of face-to-face communication only slightly affected. In written language it is however different: For example, there are Emoticons such as :-), which have developed in the e-mail communication and are often used in chats, and more often in off-line texts. Basically, language, whether on the Internet or face-to-face is a living organism that is changing constantly. This change is not disordered but solely from the Web into everyday life, but runs and multidimensional. "

If you read these brief statements, we can see very quickly that there are different opinions. Frankly, I think that no one can predict exactly how the situation will look like in the future. The social networks are growing rapidly and more and more people depend on a profile, they communicate less and less time with the other face-to-face . Friendships that are closed in the social networks are already superior to the traditional friendship in numbers. In my opinion, if we do not come to their senses, the whole world is crazy. In the Internet world, we need only the profile name or e-mail address of the particular person to instantly find any other information about hobbies, friends, age and place of residence. Here, however, missing the other person sitting with the confidence to touch at any time.

According to the testimony of the famous Author Paulo Coelho:

"There may be a hundred ways of communication in today's world,

but nothing can replace the human eye."

Chile - Communication in a language and culture Andren

Sophia Firgau

Chile - where is that? had to answer that question I often before I made my way into the land of the crazy geography ", the narrow, long land on the Pacific coast. I spent from July 2009, seven months in a Chilean host family - and not only with the Chilean English, the school system and other strange people face - but even with a different culture. The special is not coming as a tourist, but to dive deep into everyday life, with all its large and small curiosities that never notice at first glance. How does communication in a different country? What is perhaps the same and what different total? And how you can experience all this as a foreigner?


If you live in a foreign culture and the language is not perfectly controlled, cultural and linguistic misunderstandings are really inevitable. Cultural misunderstandings may often be seen Not at all. Something's strange, maybe the atmosphere with a certain person suddenly different than usual when this happens, it is best to talk openly about it. But it may be that nothing is really going on, the answer is to say: "nada que ver".
Maybe it was funny so just for me, because I was irritated because my anchored in the subconscious cultural backgrounds?
The very best is really such situations Chilean left to make and with humor, "tomar la vida como Bilz y Pap" (the life-like Bilz and Pap (drinks, take something like Coke and Fanta)), as in a Chilean advertising means.
The linguistic misunderstandings are connected very funny and with lots of laughter. The first has already taken place in Germany, before I even departed:
did I not know how the English letter "ñ" is on the German keyboard, I was in the e-mails to my host family is always a normal n written. For "año" (year) so I had "ano" is written.
In English lessons with my aunt, we then have my e-mails corrected. Suddenly she starts to laugh out loud. What happened? "Ano" means in English "ass"! So does my cousin a "y ano social voluntario" (a voluntary social ass)! Then I
I found my dad after a long search a complicated key sequence. But for a few laughs in Chile has caused the error determined.
Another time I was about to learn the Lord's Prayer by heart and my friends have me "queried". And instead of saying: "Padre Nuestro que estás en el cielo" (Our Father in heaven) I promise me and say: "Padre Nuestro que estás en el suelo" (Our Father on the ground)
is general, it always good to ask, when a word or a thing does not understand. Sometimes that ends in fits of laughter on both sides. Once I sat
for example, with my family at the games. And my Host mom said, "Pero medio obvio it" ("But is it too obvious"). The word "medio" (half), I was in this context but not to assign, and asked why: "They always say" medio "or very often" medio frío "(" frío "means" cold "), what does that mean?" I was then told that "medio" is a noise word and means "much, much .." or you can also say "auto medio" ("horny slide").
But "medio frío, no, that does not exist, that is not" very cold " I had thought. But suddenly catches my host mom to laugh heartily: "You mean" me Dió frío (Literally: "It gave me cold," ie "I was cold") "!"
Yes, because you see me, how much it on the important emphasis, and whether the "me" or the "dio" emphasizes ...
