Hi! I have a rather unusual situation that I need help with!

I just got my Social Security Number 2 years ago. I am a US citizen from birth, but I was raised all my life in Mexico, and never had a...

Hi again! It's great to have such helpful friends! :)

I'm currently teaching English as a second language to 2 groups of intermediate students.

I want to a) get them to use English in a real...

Hi again! It's great to have such helpful friends! :)

I'm currently teaching English as a second language to 2 groups of intermediate students.

I'd really like to come up with a project that we...

Online, but I don't have a credit card/PayPal setup yet. They "place the order" online, make a deposit to the store's account, then send me a scanned image of the deposit slip. Then I ship.

I've...

Hi! I have a small bookstore and recently decided to go online with my sales.

I'm trying to find a software that will help me keep track of orders, and customer addresses.

I know I can do a...

UhnonimuS' answer looks plausible to me, though I'm just a language enthusiast and don't even speak Italian. The weird A's are really e's with an accent mark on them, only AMHD won't post accent...

Thanks!

Thanks to both of you!

Joy--actually, these particular kids like basketball almost as much as soccer--the girls more so. I even think the eBay project is possible, though it would involve quite a...

Hi! I'm a volunteer teacher at a private school in Mexico. Because of the lack of interest in math, and lots of gaps in the math textbooks, I'm trying to supplement the math program with an extra...

Hi! I have ONE YouTube account that I use, but 3 Gmail accounts. Sometimes work requires me to be logged in to one Gmail account for quite a while, and yet get into YouTube. I know I can open another...

Ok!

Well, the page I gave you does has a link to appraisals (upper right side). The problem with appraisals--GOOD ones--is that they are not cheap, for one, and usually the appraiser will want to...

Hi! What exactly are you trying to find out about it?

Ronald Norman Folland was an English artist (1932-1999) who painted quaint English landscapes and villages, and is very likely the Folland...

I don't know if your etching is in color or not, but you might be able to get an idea of its average worth here.

It would help to have a picture, but tickle is right--ultimately, if you want a...

There is a Pisani or Pisanello from the 15th century, but looking at your painting I'm pretty sure it's not that old.

Here is a painter who also signs his name F. Pisani; it could be the same...

Sorry--I was browsing the questions in a mode that didn't allow me to see your attachments.

Oh, and more importantly--what language do you want this translated to?

Somogyi is a Hungarian name, and there are several recognised artists by that name, such as Ervin Somogyi, one of the greatest steel guitar makers, and Erika Somogyi, but this particular painter I...

Sorry! Apparently it was only in the question-browsing format that your pictures were not visible.

Hi! There have been several artists by the last name of Pisani, from completely different eras. Could you possibly upload a picture of the painting to get an idea of what time we´re talking about?

I think you forgot the attachment.

That's a long text--you'll probably need a professional translator.

Unless the textbook gives more indications or context, I would say you are right. Past perfect works "perfectly" in that situation.

Hi! What is the currency being used?

If it is pesos: Setenta pesos con noventa y nueve centavos

If it is dollars: Setenta dolares con noventa y nueve centavos

If it is pesetas: Setenta...

Hi! If you want this translated, could you write it in your native language? It's a little confusing as you have it in English.

Can you post a picture of the painting? If you can, include a zoom on the signature (assuming that it has one and it just isn't legible).

My best guess is that they are multiple metaphors: the belt of this, the breastplate of that, the shield of the other; but the fact that they are all related to each other suggests allegory.

Or......

Oops... clicked the wrong one! Hope it doesn't show up!

The use of "like" or "as" would make it a simile, right?

But as far as the example... would you say it's a metaphor or an allegory?

It looks like Arabic, but I certainly don't know what it says. You might ask firmbeliever here on AMHD.

Are you looking for one Sanskrit word or four?

The answer is a Moebius band.

According to this dictionary, the English transliteration is "svasti," and the word can mean success, fortune, well-being, happiness, prosperity, etc.

Hi! I'm going over the figures of speech for a test I have next month, and really enjoying it. I am still a little unsure about the real difference between a metaphor and an allegory.

As I...

Hello! Apparently you have 2 different questions. As far as I can tell, kauiis not a word in Hawaiian; maybe you meant Aina Kauai, which would make perfect sense--it means Land of Kauai (Kauai is one...

Actually, that last part means, "Vidha must UNBLOCK answers." Débloquer=unblock.

I read recently about a project called EoleWater, in which a windmill (with no other energy source than wind) condenses humidity out of the air, and which works even in completely arid or desert...

Yes, I taught myself to read French without the help of any hundred dollar program, too, and I think I can read and write it passably. Understanding the spoken language is what's hard for me,...

Hamworld, I can't quite get at what's behind your question, but if you're questioning a course that offers to teach you 3,000 words of French, I'd skip it. A real grasp of any language just requires...

Hey, editinspire, how about an annual gratuity for caudex and Wondergirl from the proceeds from the computer game? ;)

Just kidding--more like it, how about a link to the said computer game site?...

Hello caudex, welcome to the HelpDesk! If you know anything about Latin you are doubly welcome here; next to Sanskrit questions there are probably more often requests to translate English to Latin...

Redhed: That might help if he wanted to translate a Latin phrase to English, but I wouldn't recommend an online translator for a tattoo, no sirree.

ROLCAM's suggestion sounds good--it might be hard to find someone who would know the correct imperative form.

And sorry for the acidic answer, but people might try reading a work before judging its more abstruse aspects.

This question goes right along with questions like, "Is Elvis still alive," "Was Jesus married to Mary Magdalene," etc...

If you need to write a report on Shakespeare, you might try reading and...

CS Lewis' Space Trilogy, composed of Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength, is one of my very favorite series. I've read each of the books at least four times. They are...

If you want to make money off Google (indirectly) I recommend Swagbucks. It won't make you rich, but it will earn you from $5 to $25 a month without any participation other than using their toolbar...

Hmm... not the answers, exactly, but I see what you mean. I´ll try to explain the concept next time and not the procedure, if that's what you mean. Thanks.

Seahwk83, if he gets an error message concerning his "audio device," it's probably not muted, right? More likely a driver or hardware problem, I would think.

Bahamut, like Seahwk says, you can...

My pleasure. As long as you are not looking for answers to your homework problems, but just for help in understanding them, remember there are lots of people willing to help here.

Sorry, posted twice by accident.
