Anyone Need Help?
I'm available to help anyone who needs to know anything about the English language, especially those who need to learn to write appropriately, or expand their vocabulary. I have always found this site to be accommodating to my needs, so I want to return the favor. If you are interested, then feel free to contact me on the buletin board.

Re:Anyone Need Help?
How well do you understand and speak Gaelic? I am part Irish and I would like to learn. And also, what other languages do you know? Do you possibly know any Portuguese?

Re:Re:Anyone Need Help?
I would be glad to aid you in your edification (lol)of slang in the English language. My languistics go far beyond proper English. We can work something out.

Re:Re:Re:Re:Anyone Need Help?
'Losing ones Face' means means being insulted or dishonored. At least that's what I think it means. I could be wrong, but I think I'm right. Maybe someone could confirm it for you?

Loss of face
Yes, Brian pretty much has it. To lose face means to be shamed or to lose your honor. I have a sense that it comes from Japanese and/or Chinese culture, but I don't know the details. I just know that if something happens that destroys a person's credibility or one's status in the community, they have lost face. This could be if a parent's child is publicly discovered to be a criminal, drug user, or some such; if a person ends up breaking his or her word or promise, or is him/herself exposed as being involved in some sort of immoral or unethical activity. In traditional circumstances, any show of weakness could result in the loss of face, such as asking for money, or having to tell someone you cannot do what they are asking of you.
I'm sure there are people who know more about it than I do, but anyway, that's what I know.
Great topic! Thank you!
Mark

Re:Loss of face - Brian Allen - Mark
Thank you Brian and Mark!
you both confirmed what I thought...
I don't know where this idea of losing one's face comes from, I only know that in Italy we have it as well : we say " perdere la faccia ", which is the exact translation of the English expression!
isn't it great?!? it makes us understand that , despite our differences, our cultures have common roots!
Thanks
Vale :-)
