You want to know words in a language?
Where U from? Where U going to?
Should "Where are U from?" be the first question? Perhaps before you do or ask "Where are U going?" you may want to ask:
Why have U come ((down) here)? 1 Samuel 17:28 Que viens-tu faire (ici)?/Pourquoi es-tu descendu? - French Warum bist Du [überhaupt] (her)gekommen? - German Perché sei venuto qui? - Italian ¿Qué has venido a hacer aquí? - Spanish or the similar: What are U/you doing (here), ______? 1 Kings 19:9 Que fais-tu (ici), ______? - French Was tust du (hier), _____? - German Che fai (qui), _____? - Italian ¿Qué haces (aquí), ______? - Spanish
Quo vadis? - Latin Whither goest thou? - King James Version - English Where are U going? - Modern English
This question is about the here and now and about the listener's goals in life. 2 questions for the same words.
Quo vel? - Latin Whence comest thou? - King James Version - English Where do U come from? - Modern English
To find out about another person, U should be interested in these key sentences about past and future goals.
a) Where are U from? Jonah 1:8 b) Where are U going? John 13:36; John 16:5b) Kam chceš odejít? - Czech a) D'où viens-tu? b) Où vas-tu? - French a) Woher kommst du? b) Wohin gehst du? - German b) Ki bò ou prale? - Haitian a) Da dove vieni? b) Dove vai? - Italian b) Hvor går du? - Norwegian b) куда Ты идешь? - Russian a) ¿De donde vienes tú? b) ¿Adónde vas? - Spanish b) Saan ka pupunta? - TagalogThese words were said to Jesus. These words where said to Hagar (a female) - Gen 16:8 These words where said to a male traveller - Judges 19:17
When U have a geographic answer to the question, U can relate where both of U live.
You (2 or 2+) live near us. Joshua 9:22 Vous habitez au milieu de nous. (among us) - French Ihr wohnt mitten unter uns. - German Abitate in mezzo a noi. - Italian Vivís en medio de nosotros. - Spanish
We live a long way from you. Joshua 9:22 Vous habitiez très loin de nous. - French Wir sind sehr weit von euch weg. - German Noi abitiamo molto lontano da voi. - Italian Habitamos muy lejos de vosotros. - Spanish
Sister key questions are: Where are you? Gen 3:9Où es-tu? - French Wo bist du? - German Hvor er du? - Norwegian Mo yèké na ndo oua? - Sango ¿Dónde estás? - SpanishPerhaps soon you will manage to communicate proper location questions...but...be prepared to understand the answer(s) with good maps and pointers. May God bless you regarding all your communication and people skills.
*Where' U staying?
If you want to find someone again, there are key stentences.
This is one of them.
Where are U staying? = Where do you live? John 1:38Wo wohnst Du? - German Où demeures-tu? - French Dove abiti? - Italian Hva vil dere? - Norwegian Mo douti na ndo oua? - Sango ¿Dónde vives? - SpanishMake sure you get the information down on paper. Can't forget unless you mislay it.
You have been talking for a while. Are both of you in transit "killing" time? You may want to ask: What are you waiting for?/Why wait any longer? Acts 22:16 Wat aarzelt u nog? - Dutch Miksi siis viivyttelisit? - Finnish Pourquoi tarder? - French Ora perché aspetti? - Italian Dlaczego teraz zwlekasz? - Polish (Agora,) não te demores. - Portuguese Не медли! - Russian Sasa basi, mbona unakawia? - (Ki)swahili
It doesn't hurt to know what the listener does for a living. This knowledge often helps to locate this person again. If you know for example that you are looking for a barber, then a barber pole can be very helpful. There are professional organizations, clubs etc. that often know where their members are.
Quod est opus tuum? - Latin Jonah 1:8 What is your occupation? - English Quelles sont tes occupations? - French (plural-jobs) Was ist dein Beruf? - German (What is your calling?) Qual è il tuo mestiere? - Italian#z - for U + me
Sometime, you will say something like, "Go!" pointing to a map.
Go. Matthew 21:28 Va. - French Geh(e) hin. - German Và. Vai. - Italian
The person may agree or may not agree to go. a)I will not (go). Matthew 21:29 Je ne veux pas. - French Ich will aber nicht! - German Non ne ho voglia. - Italian b)I will (go). Matthew 21:30 Je veux bien. - French Ja. Ich (gehe). - German Sì, vado. - Italian They will either go or not go to the destination.
He/____ went. Matthew 21:29 Il/____ alla. - French Er/____ ging hin. - German ______andò. - Italian
He/ _____did not go. Matthew 21:30 Il/____ n'alla pas. - French Er/____ ging nicht. - German ____ non andò. - Italian
In any case, if you want to find this person again, here are other key words to help with those modern numbers...
Those private numbers.... Telephone numbers, passport numbers, health numbers, employee numbers etc.
These numbers are made up of combinations of 10 digits: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0.
1 - one (1 (out of every 50) - Numbers 31:30 一 - yī - Chinese un - French eins - German uno - Italian uno - Spanish
2 - two (2 (fish) - Matthew 14:17 二 - èr - Chinese dy - Albanian deux - French zwei - German due - Italian dos - Spanish
3 - three 三 - sān - Chinese
4 - four 四 - sì - Chinese
5 - five (5 (loaves of bread) - Matthew 14:17 五 - wǔ - Chinese cinq - French fünf - German cinque - Italian cinco - Spanish
6 - six (6 (days) - Genesis 16:26 六 - lìu - Chinese six - French sechs - German sei - Italian seis - Spanish
7 - seven (7 (days) - Genesis 8:10,12; 7 (pairs) - Geneisis 7:2,3) 七 - qī - Chinese sept - French sieben - German sette - Italian siete - Spanish
8 - eight (8 (days) - Genesis 21:4 八 - bā - Chinese acht - Dutch huit - French acht - German otto - Italian åtte - Norwegian ocho - Spanish åtta - Swedish
9 - nine (9 (lepers) - Luke 17:17) nëntë - Albanian 九 - jǐu - Chinese neuf - French neun - German εννεα - Greek nove - Italian nueve - Spanish
Zero is a fairly modern word. "Nothing" is a concept in the Bible. This word is given, since a dictionary is not always available. (Zero can be found in dictionaries or a speaker can tell you.)
nothing - Isaiah 41:12 nichts - German rien, néant - French nulla, zero - Italian nada - Spanish
0 - zero - dictionary líng - chinese Null - German zéro - French zero - Italian
Numbers often come in lists.
Names often come in dictionary order. Alphabetical, syllabic or by character strokes....
Public and private telephone books have name: number or name: address: number lists. Fax numbers often come in lists too. Then all the numbers could be arranged: name: address: tel. number: fax number
There is a Bible pattern like this. The sub-pattern of names seems random. I expected the names in birth order, but no!
The number from __________(Name)was: __________(#) Numbers 1:21-43 (odd numbers)
The results: these were counted: Numbers 1:44 The number from ______was/is: A: (000) 000-0000 G: (333) 333-3333 Her name: (111) 111-1111 His name: (222) 222-2222 Their name: (444) 444-4444 Your name: (555) 555-5555 Z: (666) 666-6666Les résultats: On obtient les chiffres suivants: A: (000) 000-0000 G: (333) 333-3333 Leurs noms: (444) 444-4444 Son nom (f.): (111) 111-1111 Son nom (m.): (222) 222-2222 Ton nom: (555) 555-5555 Z: (666) 666-6666 - French
Questi sono i risultati: I dati seguenti: A: (000) 000-0000 G: (333) 333-3333 Z: (666) 666-6666 - Italian
Zusammen erfaßt: An (Name)________s Stelle steht: A: (000) 000-0000 G: (333) 333-3333 Z: (666) 666-6666 - GermanHaven't found a question in the Bible that asks: What is your telephone number? Use your imagination...show a telephone list or other number list and have a questioning face. Or: You could isolate the word number and add ? to it. Use your God-given deduction processes. Dictionaries are helpful for single words.
number? - English chiffre? (numéro?) - French Nummer? (Stelle?)-German Numero? (cifra?/dati?) - Italian
What other numbers are important in lives? These come to mind...
Your house number, any apartment number, a student or employee number, your social security number, your tax number, your bank pin numbers, the balance of your chequebook, amounts of units for recipes, quantities of your order, prices of your order, measurements of your order, ... Dear Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for the gift of numbers, arithmetic, and all branches of mathematics. Amen *************************************************************** © 2000-current year GGK, member of Blessed Trinity Parish Church, Toronto, ON, Canada; @directq@ourchurch.com Thanks be to THE Blessed Trinity.
