Hochhaus - high house
Wolkenkratzer - cloud scratcher

Are the both terms used equally?

yes, it's like highrise and skyscraper

what did they mean by this

Rascacielo

rasca=craper - sky=cielo

zgârie-nori

a zgâria = to scratch
nori = clouds

How does one properly do word order when speaking? I'm utter shit with it in German, even though I've noticed that it's similar to Japanese at times, a language I can fluently speak. My mouth seems to always prefer a more English order. Does anybody have any tips for this kind of thing?

Felhőkarcoló - Cloud-Scratcher

Has anyone here tried to learn a LOT of languages?
I mean, like those polyglots who speak 10+ languages, or those who go around the street hitting up on foreigners and starting up conversations, because they speak several dialects and shit.

I highly doubt those people are actually competent in more than 5 or 6 of those languages, but I do think it could be quite fun to learn a bit of several languages for the purpose of better grasping how different languages approach different things.

I am actively studying Japanese and French daily.

And I wanted to learn some basic Chinese, for instance, to understand how tones work, but I don't want it to get in the way of my actual learning of Japanese and French. Is it possible to study "casually" just so you can pidgin a few sentences should you meet a native?

Kök tiregen

Ozaibergen pizda kyrdyk pizdyk

Щo тoбi тpeбa cкaзaти? Cвoю хyйню?

нeбocкpeб - neboskreb - sky scraper

I luv u, Salo :3

By the way, it's "Arranha-céu", literally skyscraper. Guess the image is strong enough to propagate throughout most languages.

Gökdelen, which has a really close meaning to skyscraper.

Grattacielo, which is the literal translation
Gratta = scrape
Cielo = sky

Or maybe because they were first built in America, hence the naming.

How have you been studying Japanese? A mix of grammar and kanji cramming?

I'm currently struggling with what to focus on.

in Japanese, 摩天楼 (ma/ten\rō)

摩 scrape
天 sky
楼 building

How much time should I spend a day on learning a language if i just want to do it as a hobby?

ตึกระฟ้า (Tuekrafa)

ตึก(tuek): building
ระฟ้า(rafa): very high
ฟ้า (fa) also means sky.

Wenn es sind zwei verben, müsst du die letzte verb in die End von der Satz putzen :)

*setzen, entschuldigung

Rascacielos

Wolkenkrabber (cloud scratcher)

skyskraper
i hate norwegian

Nebotičnik - skytoucher
Stolpnica - from stolp (tower)
