Do you suppose Gandhi was speaking English, or something else, when > he first said (or wrote) it? > In Esperanto, that that is necessary. > I also debated whether to use deziri, or vidi. What do you think? It sounds a lot like French, "Be the..." and from what I remember of Spanish, about the same..though French uses the verb a form of the verb etre there (sois) btw,How do you say "Bernie Sanders should take over the Democratic Primary and wipe out Hillary"? Lol.. sorry, I'm a real bernie fan. |
