Where does love come from? And why is love in tennis equal to zero?

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE is a 69’s song by the Beatles. I think that the old devil Reagan tried to make love more financially based-like girls going back the marrying men for money. But in the 60’s my dad used to say THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE. He did have some good ideas once in awhile. but Matthew 24 describes cold loveless america well as living in the end times. BECAUSE OF WICKEDNESS THE LOVE OF MOST WILL GROW COLD!! We come to the3 end of america!
Hi Marina,
In Bulgarian language the word love sounds just like in Russian language…lubov.
Btw, you have a very well behaved dog!
Mwaaaa, trustee!
забавный сайт. хорошая реклама в Снобе.
im not spanish but to say I love you is,,, Yo Te Amo.
in polish: miłość
but “to like” is “lubić” in polish – which has the same root as love
So, is there a chance that the short form of the Russian name Lubov’ which is Luba actually comes from Old German and wasn’t developed so by the Russians themseleves? Or it is just a coincidence?
Spanish: amor
French: amour
Italian: amore
Welsh: cariad (n) or caru (v). This might seem to break the pattern, but it’s cognate with:
Spanish: querida (beloved)
French: cher (dear)
Latin: carus (dear)
Love is “rakkaus” In Finland
Love in Malay, or Bahasa is “sayang”…sounds like “sigh-young”…to long for or desire is “rindu”..sounds like “rin-doo”….that’s the other language I speak…
Did my homework.
Love in Dutch/Flemish: Liefde
In French: l’amour

I love you.

When I wake up in the morning
love
and the sun light hurts my eyes
And something without worning
love
bears heavy on my mind.
Then I look at you and the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you and I know it’s gonna be -
A lovely day – lovely day

When the day that lies ahead of me seems impossible to face
And someone else instead of me always seems to know the way
Then I look at you and the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you and I know it’s gonna be -
A lovely day – lovely day

Love = ljubezen in slovenian
HotForWords tells us how universal “love” is as a word. “Love” is part of many phrases also. A word’s use in phrases can raise linguistic questions. Do the connotations of the words in the phrase apply to the phrase also? When words have multiple meanings, which meaning does the phrase depend upon?
As HotForWords has instructed us, words can change meanings. “Make Love” is a phrase that gained a meaning and may have retained it’s original, at least in connotation. So this comment is a Word Request for “make love” and will get the investigation started with the thinnest of resources, i.e. PC and Internet with no special subscriptions or any other references. Referring to the Online Etymology Dictionary provides a start about this but doesn’t explain how or why it happened or precisely when it was gained and what was lost over the centuries. The phrase “Make Love” is attested from 1580 in the sense “pay amorous attention to”. Presumably the act of paying attention could explain the “make” in “make love”, “make love to” or “make love with”. Earlier uses of “love” in compound words include love-letter attested from about 1240 and love-song from about 1310. To fall in love is attested from 1423. All these are say “amorous” but by “paying attention” in words, music or emotion – no sex “action” yet.
The phrase “Make Love” as a euphemism for “have sex,” it is attested from about 1950. So about 1580 “make love” doesn’t mean “have sex”, yet. By 1950, it does.
After 1580 “love child”, a child born out of wedlock, was attested from 1805 which was from earlier “love brat”, attested in the 17th century. Clearly love meant sex with these, whatever word they were using for “sex” then and before. So not long after 1580, it appears that “love” was being used as an euphemism for “sex”.
“Words make love with one another.”
For 2 centuries or so sometime after 1580 “make love” appears to be used also as “flirt” can be used today, as “play at courtship” ( from the 18th century). Flirt originally had a quite different meaning, but that could be another word lesson. Consider these “make love” literary quotes.
Meanwhile in literature for English speakers; no particular word or phrase, acceptable or otherwise, seems predominantly used for sexual intercourse and censorship applied to an incredible degree peaking in the Victorian Era.
While “Affair”, “liaison” and “sleep with” have continued to be used in the 20th century, English speakers began to rally around the long acceptable “make love” phrase with its new meaning. After 1950, or whenever, did “make love” lose it’s original meaning? Apparently largely so. Try to find quotes from the movies in the last 20 years where “make love” doesn’t refer to copulation. OK, maybe that’s just Hollywood. Search the newspaper web sites and search the Internet literary quotes. Good luck.
Perhaps a better question would be has “make love” retained a connotation of enamor or being in love to any significant degree? Some seem to have a broader view of “making love” than others.

Here’s some quotes that I’ve found on “Love”.
“A man is not where he lives, but where he loves”.
Latin Proverb
“Whatever man loves, that is his God. For he carries it in his heart; he goes about with it night and day; he sleeps and wakes with it, be it what it may-wealth or self, pleasure or renown”.
Martin Luther
“We are shaped and fashioned by what we love”.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Where love is, there is God also”.
Leo Tolstoy
Marina, you’ve come a long way! This video, except for one insert, looked like one long take with no cuts. Good scriptwork!
Hey everybody I’m sorry. I’ve come to my senses and I’m saying that I’m not going to evangelize here anymore. If someone wants to ask me something they can contact me at shawnmnorris@hotmail.com, but other than that I’ll not badger you anymore with my endless ranting, and, of course, if anyone wants to be my friend you’re quite welcome – my myspace is http://www.myspace.com/shawnmnorris . I’m calm now and I’ll act responsibly and reasonably.
What are some good words to look up?
-Shawn
I must have missed something here, but I’m glad you feel better.
Umm… perhaps a good way to look at this is to look at this as a growth experience, uncomfortable – but, not painful.
Sometimes the banter in here touches off nerves, chemical changes follow and sensibilities diminish. Hang out at an ER on a Friday night and you will be able to observe this (with more serious connotations).
This is mostly a forum for words and stuff but issues are open for discussion, too. I’m here because I have a really weak spot in my head for sassy blonde women!!
Your response?
Quite normal and healthy as long as you do the analysis.
Come back and play some more when you are happier, ok?

Hi
I am a native speaker of Portuguese. I am from Brazil. Do you know anything about this country down there in South America? I hope all of you guys don’t think we speak Spanish there. Well, Love in Portuguese is AMOR.
I guess micheldiego already knows the etymology of She’ol, but for those less fortunately as we I’m sure others would like to know its origin, date, and so forth.
Marina,
I believe these definitions should fit the answer to that question of translations
French
Love affair – Aventure Amoureuse
love letter – lettre’ d’amour
for love – par amour
German
love song – dias lie beslied
bond of love – bandcher zuneugund
in Chinese
Love that tour translated

Par Amour is also the name of a Nana Mouskouri album/CD. She’s getting up there in years, but I still enjoy her songs. She is of Greek origin, but sings in quite a few languages, including English. She lives in France.
Hey Marina? micheldiego and I would like to know the origin of the words: Sheol (Hebrew) and Hades (Greek), we would like to know the etymology on it. We do know that it’s a place you can go after you die, but, according to the Bible you don’t have to go there if you’re what’s called “saved by grace” (God’s grace), although I didn’t quite know what Micheldiego meant by “incompatible with knowledge” – beyond knowledge or incomparable with knowledge – I don’t know what you meant and no I am not being ignorant I just don’t listen to man’s doctrine that much, just God’s and His Son Jesus Christ’s (which actually is the Father’s doctrine – John 7:16).
Hi dude, I did not ask these words, I know their etymology, and it is not particularly interesting. Aquarium is much more interesting, particularly in french and spanish if considered together with swimming-pool “piscine” or “piscina”.
Regarding religion, maybe you can post your e-mail, I don’t mind in having a conversation with you but better not here.
micheldiego, where could we talk, maybe on MySpace IM or some other of the like?
Thanks, micheldiego.
this is a good one, but will be looking out for kidnap, I like that one.
Dear teacher
With a great pleasure will I assist this talk. In french love is “amour” to be in love is “être amoureux” ou “aimer”. In italian it is “amore”. And french and italian are the langages of love.
I didn’t knew how it was pronounced in russian, and the indo-european root: delicious! So thank you for this very interesting lesson.
Dear teacher, is it possible to learn the origin of the worlds “beyond “and “bootleg”. Thank you for your attention.
Amicalement,
Don Felipe Gonzales El Lobo
I never thought about a connection between the French word for egg and the “love” in tennis. Interesting connection. donfelipegonzales, your comments are “beyond” interesting.
Dear Lividemerald,
I try to “be yond” the lot
But it doesn’t work, The teacher never answer me !

Hi Marina,
Could you please explore the origin of the word “alight”
thanks,
Al.
Alight would be alright.
Hi Marina
I think the way the word “soccer” and ” football are used on America an in Europe, why on U.S is called soccer and Europe “football” , the origin as the Eurocup is taking place. Hope this Greetings from Mexico
Hi Marina,
I’d like to ask you to search for the origin of the word “nylon”. Someone told me it is a shorten form for “now you loose old nippon”. It’s right ?
I love you!!!
The word ‘love’ is the most overused and least understood in the dictionary. It’s
so similar in so many languages that it must be one of the most ancient human concepts, but what does it mean? We live for it, cry for it and even die for it, but can any of us define it? Poets and artists muse on it endlessly but none have ever pinned it down. It’s what makes us and breaks us, but we can never know it. On the other hand, lust is easily understood but almost taboo. This is a mystery that no philololololologist can explain. Or can you?
I hear ya there!
Hi Marina
I would like to request the word “Pretty”
Thank you!
Could you do an etomology on the beging of the word bra or brassiere and when did women start wearing them
hehehe ok I’m game. Lets keep hounding her on this one.
Marina, a personal question. It’s about time for a birthday isn’t it.
You joined in February 2007 now it is 2008 we need to have a birthday party to celebrate. 
Or are you the kind of lady that likes to keeps her age a secrete 
Come on now share it with us 
We like a good party too. 
Toga party?

Yea I think its time for a birthday party! A bit late but you should do something to mark the occasion. Who knows what would become of it.
You just want to spank her and give her a pinch.
Talking of Birthdays, she’s been 27 for quite a long time. I wonder when her Birthday is.

Marina id like to request a word: Nintendo
MILAYA Marino4ka.. i’d
also have something interesting to request: i would like you to discuss the word ”RUSSIAN ROULETTE” it would be gorgeous if you did this in our beautiful RUSSIAN language such as you did in the MOLOTOV video!.было бы просто великолепно 
поверь мне!
LOVE in the main Neo-Latin languages: Italian=amore,verb=amare,French=amour/aimer,Spanish=amor/amar,Portuguese=amor/amar…from Latin amare=to love,it is very interesting to know that this verb comes from the Latin verb amare which even has a Protoindoeuropean origin,maybe Etrurian…… Longest way to say i love you: in Javanese,i think: kulo tresno marang panjengan!- i also like how this sounds in Creole -Mi AIME YOU in between of ”i love you” and je t’aime!
All you need is love! That’s true
In Slovenia, love sounds like this = ljubezen.
In polish love = miłość
Summer School RAWKS!
It means more one on one education with the instructor…
Hello Marina,
School is out in the States-
will we recieve our Report Cards soon?
Great show, love the new look.
Thank you Marina
I’ll tell you one day Warren how I snuck that one to you. It’s a secret right now.
That would be interesting.
Have you tried that site yet?
I figured that way you could fill me in.
Here are a few phrase requests:
Under the gun
Jump the gun
Behind the 8 ball
I heard all of these at work yesterday and thought that I’d really like to know the origins.
Hi xujof,
Under the gun= under pressure, stressed by a looming deadline, or somehow threatened.
Jump the gun= to start (a race, for example) before the starting signal has sounded.
Behind the 8-ball= derived from billiards game of “eight-ball,” where the 8-ball is supposed to be played only AFTER all the balls for the side have been sunk (1 thru 7, or 9 thru 15). Sinking the 8-ball before the balls are all in on either side results in a loss of the game by forfeit. Therefore, leaving the cueball “behind the 8-ball” at the end of one’s turn makes it very difficult for the opposing side to make a good shot because of the risk of prematurely sinking the 8-ball. It’s another way of saying “under pressure” similar to “under the gun.”
I hope this helps.
ig-pay atin-lay: ove-lay
Hey Marina, just came across your site and think it’s great and so are you
anyway im from Ireland and as you know we like to drink!
we have many words for getting drunk, such as, ‘getting langers’ or ‘getting pissed’. as far as i know the word langer is a slang term for penis. anyway i was wondering where the term getting pissed comes from?
hope to hear from you,
Bryan.
Look for a language not yet mentioned for my homework: Love in euskera (the basque region language) is maitasun.
Nobody knows how to say love in one of the native American languages?
Thanks for the kind words micheldiego. That is how I felt. After 33 years of professionally caring for people it just doesn’t end when you retire. That’s is why I became a firefighter I wanted to help people.
You have to upload the picture. If you have the picture on your computer you can do it. If not …well then it’s decision time.
Oh, by the way I stil don’t understand what you did. But that’s OK.
See if you can send a note from the other site. Or on Yahoo 360.
I ignore everybody that tries to connect but I’m sure I’ll be able to recognize that it’s someone from this site.
That was great!

Thank you for your reply.
I made a reply to you in the same box.

We all know the meaning of the online internet phrase: lol (laff/laugh) out loud, hence L.O.L. , but who made it up and when I wonder?
can you search up how and why people call the passenger seat “shotgun”
Every stagecoach driver had a security guard riding up front. Three guesses what kind of gun they carried.
The kind that shoots bullets!
The kind that soots bad guys (PC… People) Thats Two…
Tnks PT9, I learn something new every day here.
We all know, don’t we…
starts with l & ends in 8? Later
oops… that was meant for someone else.
found my missing “h”… Scared the sit out of me all this talk of guns.
Now this is supposed to be here… “I hope”, he said sheepishly.
can you search up how and why people call the passenger seat
In catching up on my magazine reading, there was an article about “Geek Girls” and how they don’t fit the typical stteriotypes of the typical ugly nerdy type of girl or woman. I thought it might mention you, but it was mainly about girls who are no in college or their teens. Someone at Google won the sexiest Geek of the Year for some magazine. If you haven’r already, check it out. It’s a good article that appeared in last week’s Newsweek.
Need word “Satisfaction”
Marina what do u say about?
If anybody wants truth instead of dare I ask any person “who do you love the most”
Who are you asking? If you’re asking Marina, she is only silent because she doesn’t want the others to be jealous of you. We all know you were one of the first teachers pets
If it is a question for everybody, then that is a very good question to ponder, hmmm…
It’s true. You were one of firsts also. Actually I was right after you. I’m glad I found out 2 days ago that the blackhawks brought back their old play by play announcer. I know a lot of Chicago fans including myself we’re ecstatic about the big news.
In Persian it’s dust or ‘eshq. The word dust can mean either “like” or “love”; ‘eshq means only “love”, but has different connotations. It might almost be better translated as “romance”.
Damn it woman!!! Sorry….. But I’ve asked before, what is the origin of the term “having the HOTS” for someone? As In: I’ve got the “HOTS” for Hot for Words………… Every red blooded American boy wants to know……
Your knowledge thirsty student,
22ocean
22ocean, Yea I think your right about this one.
Marina should do a vid on this word. The word HOT has been over used and has many meanings. 
Privet Marinka.
I just want to say that I’m very proud of what you are doing. I speak several languages my self because I grew up in multi language environment. When you have time, can you please find the origin of Russian word ” privet ” – ” hello “. As you can see it almost looks like English “private”, is there any relation?
With love and uvazhuha
slavakpss
Which of the two theories do you find more likely Marina?
I actually opt for the play for the love of it theory.
3:01 am??
Does this girl ever sleep?
Yea for that.
Teacher there are several problems with this theory:
- You have to be two to love. If the two players were playing for nothing why then calling a score like 15-love, 30-love, 40-love? Should not be love-love all the game long? Since love is only called when in fact the score is called means they are not playing “for love”
- If the scoring 0 were coming from “for love”, why just in tennis? Why not 3-love in football (soccer) or rugby?
- Tennis is from french Tenez, Racquet is from french racquette, Ace is from french As, Deuce is from french Deux le jeu, but Love is english, why?
CRIPTIC
koalabear, Wow and I thought I stayed up late last night.
Can Marina Really be this cute?? For the love.
When I playED Tennis it was a War.
Kill or be Killed. Ace, Slams and flying rackets. Love ???,
IT should be
!WAR!
Yes I agree, but the “l’oeuf” version is not very convincing: shape of a zero??? Probably the reason is somewhere else. Perhaps what happened is that the public of the first tournaments just throw eggs on the looser who could not score any point: they just keep shouting “tenez” “l’oeuf” throwing their eggs on the poor looser, and as this was the best part of the game, it is what remain in the name of the game “tennis” and the score “love”
WAR indead!
Good thinking micheldiego. I can imagine that nasty egg-salad theory very clearly.
Does Marina have any more details of the origin of these two theories?
Hey, Marina, it’s Shawn again!! and I just wanted to point you to something – http://www.studylight.org if you have any words in English that come from Greek such as agape or poimen (which means Shepherd) you can go on this site and find any word in Greek and Hebrew in which you would want to find all the range of meanings and see what they meant in the Bible days (koine Greek) remember Daniel? (God is my judge?) Also, (besides Whitesmoke, dictionary.com and cocomment), what else could you point us to that would be beneficial to our accessing the meanings of words, grammar, and other languages, and that you use so we can get in on the goods as well, m’lady? hmm…. m’lady is that middle english? or ooooold and decrepit english? or maybe even borderline codger English? I wonder – do tell!
- Shawn
Thank you Marina! You are soooo awesome. That was even better than being a teachers pet. Thank you for your answer and maybe you can do the tennis skirt look later, lol for Wimbleton or US Open.
the BRITISH term “Bespoke”
By any definition of the word Marina (except for zero) I love you. All you need IS love. Love is like oxygen. Love lifts us up where we belong. Love Love Love Love, it’s easy. Love Love Love Love, it’s easy. What can I say, John and Paul had it right, not the apostles, the Beatles. Love and peace tothe Universe and my bank account.
ást means love in Icelandic, pronounced sort of like ows(h)t. Anyway, it’s
kind of an odd word, don’t you think?
Marina, could you please tell me how the word MACHO came about?…
That’s Amy Winehouse pre drugs! Shame!
I was watching again some of the older stuff… not that old actually. She was a beautiful girl . Interview gives a little hint at her struggles.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhU11wgznD4 is the best of her for me. But when you burn the candle at both ends and put it in a microwave, then put that microwave in the oven……….. Simultaneously hooked on cocaine, heroin, crack, and alcohol, with a skin condition that ravages her face, endless supply of $, and new $ on the way, beautiful successful Jewish woman from England singing pop/blues from a broken home, with an incarcerated husband lacking social skills and income. I wish her well, but she needs to be able to say, I need help. And that $ making song, “Rehab”, won’t help her issue. just an opinion. See ya, Mr. William B !
Her songs are like cries for help sometimes, I pray for someone strong enough to get her helped. I listen & cry & although my tears dry on their own they return. Amys’ real friends need to grab… step up & be strong in these dark days. Eric Claptons friends came to his side years ago & helped in his recovery & he’s enjoyed a long career & survived some big hits in his personal life.
remembering makes it hard to see a future for her, She mentioned in the Dutch interview a little hint at one of the dreams she has (had) of having a family, Breaks my heart.
There is song she is doing with the band she kinda sounds like Janis Joplin. ( with the raspy voice) . She turned out the same way as Amy on drugs. But I hope it doesen’t take her life like Janis’s.
So sad, the destruction of good talent.
Have you seen the movie about Edith Piaf?
Mich, I don’t believe so.
Another very sad story of tough life, self destruction and art.

Hello dear teacher. I’m a fan of medieval-style combat movies, and I’ve noticed that a lot of the time people refer to releasing an arrow as “firing” the bow. But I would think that you could only “fire’ a firearm, and you would loose a bow.
Is it just Hollywood using modern language and not expecting a super nerd like me, or was the term “fire” used for ranged weapons before muskets became common?
If your wars were in 1200AD or earlier before that they might have said fyr, or maybe feuer. this is a good word for the Teach. a lot of history
Could there be any connection with the practise of shooting flaming arrows, the original incendiary device?
Hello Marina,
It’s another phrase.. “To shake a stick at”
ex.: Well. that’s enough to shake a stick at.
Yes, I know it ends with a preposition but that’s the south for ya.
hey hot for words! how did “pizza” get its name?
may i ask where did “life” come from, as my request
thx
No teachers pet? Whats the deal? I guess no teachers pet is better getting picked only to have your kiss savagely short by the turn of the page.
Jah muhn Kiss no frog
Yea. I guess I prefer not being picked as teachers pet. I might even get servery disappionted. That end game, or game over feeling.
I love your new video!
I have a word request: Onomatopoeia
If you could research the origin on that word it would be awesome.
May I ask you, what is “happiness”?
Have a peachy day.
Would you mind wearing something satin please.

God is love. I would very much like to know more about the origin of the word God and how we got it (the name that is) and how we associate that name with a guy up in Heaven that just floats around with a bunch of angels as opposed to what He really is – a Spirit that is everywhere at the same time and that has a Son named Yeshua who loves us very much and cares for our well-being as well as our friends, loved ones and as well as the rest of our cares. How did we turn someone so holy into someone that doesn’t even exist – if He didn’t – how do we even now?
INVESTIGATE!!!

P.S. I love you, Marina lil’ miss Hotforwords!!!!
not to be mean or upsetting lol but what if the bible and god was make believe and really doent exsist ????? interesting huh !!! do you believe in the “City of Atlantis”
I can obviously see that you’re calling God a liar and that you don’t have good grammar skills, the “City of Atlantis” has nothing to do with reality, and that you are really in desperate need for The Lord your God, whom you can’t even realize or see yet because you’re blinded by sin, the world, your flesh and your own selfish pride to see the things that God has in store for you – it’s clear to me.
I know the truth and the truth has set me free.
Augie, of course god does not exist. It only exist in the faith people put in it. Let just suppose that god has an actual existence, that you could somehow “test” him, then you will know instead of believe in god. The religions can only work by belief in something unknowable, or inexistent, and it is called faith.
micheldiego , there is a god and a devil you will probably meet both in your life time.
that was only a question people i did not call god a liar ok im a retired US Navy Seal been to hell and back if you any combat war veterans you will understand me better and faith comes in all different understandings if god is so good and loving than why does he contiune to allow me great sufferin in this world when the govt of the USA i have stood by and fought for infected me with angent orange in the war in my case wheres the faith in lost!!!!!
Augie,
you said it. first thanks.
Different understandings. God for me
has meant many things in many times
and in many ways. Only in struggle can
someone look for alternatives. In rain we
look for dry, In dry we hope for rain.
Shawn shouldn’t be so harsh. We all have
pride and I’m proud of you. I’ve found God
more readily in nature yet I’m a christian.
The likes if man make it hard to see our
divine source, God. Love.
Yet still the likes of man make it clear our
divine source. Debbie Harry.. you’ve got to
run between the rain drops if your gonna see
the sun. thanks 2c.
dvdpage reply thanxs this is my last comment on this item :: not here to discuss religon or god etc here to enjoy and learn bout words !!!! but i like to add I Cannot help anyone unless tht person tries to help themself frist also how can i forgive someone if they dont forgive themselfs frist as my war experence i cant even forget or forgive myself so how can god forgive me as i dont know how to forgive myself have a fantastic day everyone and hoping for peace in this world ‘no more wars’ Ltcom August Van Suchtelen US Navy Seals retired
redhorse, my point is that you can’t phisically meet god (or the devil) in person. Of course you speak metaphorically you suppose taht I could meet the idea of god, that is the belief of god. This is of course possible (even easy) to anyone. But if you actually meet “him” then it means the relationship you have with”him” is no more a relation of faith and believe (a religious sentiment) but a “normal” relation, with the knowledge there is no faith possible. My point is that by “knowing” god you “kill” faith, a religion where you could speak and see or have a physical experience of your god will not be a religion which is based on belief.
If you want to have some more clues anout what I’m speaking about try to figure out why “god” forbid to eat from the tree of knowledge, and why once man knows and sees god for what it is, he could no longer remain in Edenand has to move to a place where he can’t see him.
Then if you prefer the new testament you can also search for any follower of Jesus calling him god. You will notice that during the perios where Jesus was physically present noone called him “god”. The only citation you will find curiously is from the more sceptical of the apostles Thomas, but it is a mistake in the translation, as discussed by many specialist the current translation “you are my god” is one of the many possibles translations and is very unlikly.
Take a look at this: http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=ps+139%3A8§ion=1&it=kjv&oq=Ps%2520139%3A8&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=ps&ng=139&ncc=139
I dare you both to 1. Read that scripture and to 2. Trust in Christ so you don’t have to go to the second place it talks about. It’s not funny, nor is it a figurative place.
God made hell and He created it not for men, but for the Lucifer and his angels because they rebelled against God. God was there before everything else existed, and I’m not making those words up – you can even find them here: (omnipotent)http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/omnipotent
(omniscient)http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/omniscient
and (omnipresent) http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/omnipresent – I’m not makin’ this up, folks and don’t take it figuratively if you wanna fight take it up with my judge – God Himself (Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Meshiach) God is omnipresent, so I would say that if He weren’t to exist in one place He wouldn’t exist at all – so then God does exist in hell as well – no joke! By the way you said it’s impossible? All things are possible with God!! There is nothing too impossible for Him. http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=bed+in+hell§ion=1&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na&Enter=Perform+Search I’m not kidding and God is not just some kind of figurative oh I thought of this concept and I’ll call it God – why for so many centuries have so many people debated over the existence of God? I’ll tell you why – because He’s real and if you would have the decency in your heart to call out to His Son Jesus Christ He would save you from eternal torment in hell. I’m not trying to put you down, I’m showing you that God has to punish sin and sinners, but if you receive His Son Jesus whom He sent us then you’ll have eternal paradise, not eternal damnation. I’m doing this to express God’s love in a comprehensible manner, not to condemn you only you can justify or condemn yourself – and either one by your own words: ( http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=mt+12:37&it=nas&ot=bhs&nt=na&sr=1 ) you have a choice – to be justified before God in His way, or to be condemned in your own way – the wrong way (and by the way there is a right and there is a wrong and you can know the difference if you follow Christ for the rest of your life, forsake yourself, your life and take up the cross) All I’m saying is that there is a God in Heaven who sent His Son Jesus to die on a cross for us and if you would ask God sincerely from your heart to show you He’s real – He’ll do it!!! http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=mt+21%3A21§ion=2&it=nas&oq=mt%252012%3A37&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=mt&ng=12&ncc=12 but you have to confess Jesus with your mouth and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you’ll be saved! http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Romans+10%3A9§ion=2&it=nas&oq=mt%252021%3A21&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=mt&ng=21&ncc=21 – it may have sounded harsh, but the real gospel is a very real thing, not something to be taken lightly. God is who He says He is – believe HIm, not me.
Sorry if I sounded unloving, that’s not what I am,

Plain and simple.
shawnmnorris replies: Wow….I am sure glad you are not a anti-Smoking zealot. You would be annoying, proselytising like a crazy person. Thank GOD you are here to SAVE us ..
WE are really good now , but I can hear someone thinking , on youtube
Copy and paste those links if you can’t click them – I dare you.
Also when you die and see Him you’ll know exactly why all those things happened in your life, because you’ll see God and He will tell you, but if you don’t let Jesus be the Lord of your life (i.e. not you anymore) then it’ll be too late and you’ll have to suffer the consequences. I’m telling you before it is too late, and so you can escape these: the fire of hell, sin, misunderstanding and eternal damnation. So you don’t have to fight anymore and so we can all have peace with one another and love one another – isn’t that what so many people have been desiring, but haven’t had like say…..Israel? God’s own chosen people? Come on, people this is immature and misunderstanding – don’t mistunderstand what I’m saying – get understanding, not from me, however, from the Lord your God. Won’t you? Won’t you finally admit and actually take into account what He says instead of your hard-heartedness and your doubts? Please, do your duty as the creation and sumbit to the Creator – the Lord God Almighty – no one else. Serve God and keep His commandments (in the New Testament, because it actually is impossible to daily complete the old http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Galatians+3%3A13§ion=2&it=kjv&oq=under%2520a%2520curse&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1 ).

Hey shawnmnorris I just read your first paragraf and noticed a huge mistake in the translation you are using of Psalm 139. I will read the rest of your post latter, will just coment Psalm 139. “if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.” is a wrong translation from the hebrew or greek. You can look for example in Collier’s encyclopedia that “She’ol” which is the original hebrew name of the place here refered as “hell” was a place where the dead were resting but without any caracterisation of “good” or “evil” place, and looks like the greek “hades” of most of the greek versions. It is definitivly not the hell, and translating it as hell is a huge mistake. Most of the translations of the bible use “seol” or “sh’ol” or abism or other-world, which is much more apropriate.
As you see I am speaking about words and their meaning. It was also the case when I wrote about faith and belief, but aparently you did not read it this way, or are not interested in undestanding the word and the concept of faith itself, please feel free to have a big breath and read me again, you will see that it does not say belief is wrong or good, it says it is incompatible with knowledge, which is something most of the religious thinkers will agree with.
Now about hades, scheol and hell it will be really interesting in looking to the etymology and history of these words and concepts. I guess that the transition between hades and hell is somewhere between the old and the new testament. The concept of judgement and hell are in fact pretty recent (the concept and the words, I’m here speaking about etymology).
BTW shawnmnorris you did not seem unloving at all to me. I hope you also will consider my discution as friendly, I really am interested in the meaning of words and concepts, even if this matter is the one most of people avoid to speak about, don’t see why it should be taboo.

I see what you’re saying, micheldiego, but your theory on faith is utterly incorrect Biblically. The reason in Hebrews 11:1 in the New Testament (koine Greek): Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. So what it’s saying (and it goes on to talk about it more exegetically afterward) is that faith is the assurance of the unseen or things you can’t see, but are there. Also I hope one day to become a Christian linguist and actually be able to read all of the words in both the Hebrew and the Greek of the Old and New Testaments without any help from man or man’s teaching, but God’s. Another by the by is that the Holy Spirit Himself is teaching me Japanese so I can minister spiritually to the lovely people of Japan – no joke. Sorry to burst your bubble about God not being real, but I didn’t even fully know until I asked Jesus to save me and the Holy Spirit to indwell in me and now I know for fact that He’s real. The mystery of speaking in other toungues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:4) is made known to me and I just love it – to be honest Im havin’ a blast!!
Back to the etymology of Sheol and Hades: Marina, where did they originate, how do we after so many centuries still believe there’s an underworld or hell of some sort, and how do you say and spell them?
-Shawn M. Norris
P.S. – micheldiego, I very much care about the philology and etymology of these words, because they (the words) are very vital and crucial in Bibliology and Theology (the study of the Bible and the study of God). I would like to know who or actually if someone came up with these words in the first place. Marina, you’re doing a great job of bearing with me and listening because I know you’re an extremely busy lady. – thank you!!! One more thing: INVESTIGATE!!!!
One more thing and this is the last thing I’ll say for the night: let’s get together, you bring an actual Japanese person that knows how to speak the language, and I’ll prove that the Holy Spirit is real – by the translation of the tongue that I’m speaking (not interpretation, that’s part’s up to God). I lie not before our Father. I myself don’t fully know how to speak the language, but the Holy Spirit does and He could prove it to you by the tongue that I’m speaking – Japanese. Also God’s name is pronounced Ye-kho-vaw’ (notice the stress mark on the last syllable).
To all of you. Could we please refrain from discussion of religion in this blog before someone gets hurt?
Thank you.
Hey Jack I was wondering how much blue Shawn.. was going to initiate. He’s Young & fiesty & I’m not even going to read all the virtual ink on all this..
I agree that speaking of religion, or politics is “dangerous” nevertheless
1) better doing it here than letting the teacher doing some religious or political conneted word on line. If Shawn want to know the origin of the word “god” perhaps better answering here in the comments than asking Marina to do the job.
2) it’s dificult to get hurt online. I know that some may say that words are more dangerous than weapons, but it should be dificult on HFW
3) The philological part in itself of Shawn request is interesting because it is linked to two of the most amazing quests, the seach of the name of god and the search of a mytological inicial unique language. Kind of graal of etymology
About the name(s) of god do you know Arthur C. Clarke short story? As I don’t want to bother anybody I think its all that I will post on this matter for now.
http://www.geocities.com/rojodos/docs/9000000000.htm
@ Bill, I didn’t read any of his comments because I have heard it all before. Also I didn’t want this discussion to become a who’s religion is more correct or better than what other bloggers believes are.
@ Mich, Yes your right. The subject of Politics and Religion are very touchy subjects that are best left to blogs that are supporting that.
I think Shawn’s goal was not to learn the origin of the word ‘god’. From reading his comments I think he well aware of the origin.
I didn’t mean that someone could get physical hurt online. Thats impossible. To clarifiy what I meant is someone could be offended by others comments about discussions of religious beliefs.
Hey Shawn Norris… chill. If someone disagrees with you, don’t take it personaly or get your back up or even try to change anybodys mind. Be yourself repond respectfully if at all. Be a good witness or saint & let your life speak for itself. I’m a Christian but I’m not going to go to great lengths to explain that. Christ himself did’nt go around stirring people up with argumentitiveness, He did good & the religious folks stirred up the trouble. ’nuff said.
I could not have said it better.
Shawn dont get all ruff up buddy ;; everyone has ther own way of believing in what they want !!!! no-one is right here !!! so just drop all this nonsense now all i did was asked a smiple question not to be lectured here by someone who thinks he has or knows all the answers no one does i dont and you dont so just say good-nite and let it go !!!!!!
im really not in tha mood to argue with ones empty head as yours
Wake me when we get back on subject. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Hello all,
I just found this site a few weeks ago and I have to say I’ve been having a lot of fun just watching the videos and reading the comments. I finally decided to ask for an explanation of the word “Finial.”
One of my hobbies is doing Medieval recreation in the SCA and just last year I was able to purchase my first period pavilion and I am going to use some table legs I found for the finials. **got the idea from walking around Home Depot for a couple of hours…
**
Anyway, I’m curious as to the origin of the word “Finial” and especially what was it’s original purpose? Was it merely for ornamentation or did it have a practical use, such as helping to keep rainwater from entering through the tent pole holes. My opinion is that it had some practical purpose although I’ve never been able to find any documentation to support that.
I look forward to your comments on the subject.
Take care,
Rick
Hey Rick, I was also apart of the SCA. I’ve been to busy and I move round a lot to participate anymore. I do very much miss it though.
Hi Cap,
I know the feeling. I had to lay out of it for a few years but I’m getting back into it finally. I live out in Artemesia right now but I consider Northshield and the Midrealm my home Kingdoms.
Hi Marina,
I have learned that the Polish are a caring and lovely people.
Miłość = Love (noun) “Miłość w moim sercu.” (Love in my heart.)
Kochać = to love (verb) “Kocham cię.” (I love you.)

Greetings Miss Words.
I would like to request that you research the word “Eureka”. It’s origins, original connotations and etc.
Please and thank you.

“Love” is one of the 7 Major Positive Emotions
the emotion of Desire
the emotion of Faith
the emotion of Love
the emotion of Sex
the emotion of Enthusiasm
the emotion of Romance
the emotion of Hope

Aw, c’mon, mention ‘em.
Finish what you started.
Can one exist without Love?
Can’t have Good without the Bad.
What’s the rest?
I’m taking notes.
Hy Marina, I’m from Romania and the romanian word for ‘love’ is ‘dragoste’ or ‘iubire’! You’re verry sweet :*:*:* muah
, I love your videos. Bye!!!
For my Homework (as I rarely do them): As my Greek girlfriend would say; Agape, αγάπη. Meaning ‘Love’.
The Greeks have many different words for Love. In Ancient Greek language. It has three distinct words for love: Eros, Philia, and agape. However, it has been historically difficult to separate the meanings of these words.
Eros means ‘Romantic Love’
Phillia means ‘Friendship’ in modern Greek
Agape means ‘Love’
There is also Storge meaning ‘affection’ and Thelema meaning ‘Desire’.
As my Philippine girlfriend would say in Tagalog language, ‘Sinta’ meaning Love. If girl formally accepts the man’s love, they are boyfriend and girlfriend we get ‘magkasintahan’ I found when I was learning Tagalog that is was an easy and fun language to learn.
One thing I like with other languages that you don’t see with English is little over use of a word. Like the French have 7 different words with different meanings for the word love. In English you just can use the word ‘Love’ alone without putting it into a sentence to find out its meaning by the contents of that sentence. The rules of English are just plain ignorant.
(This paragraph is not directed to you. More so to the group)
So how can I be expected to use proper English when the system that develops it is flawed? As I said before who has the authority to make a rule how a word is spelled and how a sentence is structured?
I didn’t realise how alike Tagalog and Indonesian/Malay are, though it is logical that such close neighbours might have much in common.
As to your last question, Jack, it’s the Queen’s English, so, presumably she has the authority, although no-one I’ve ever heard speaks English like she does. Go figure.
Well then I wish she would take more authority over it. But I think we lost out on that deal when the US declared its independence. I guess we made the mess and we have to sit in it. Grrrrr.
Yea I liked learning Tagalog. Just now I have no reason to learn it. My Greek girlfriend said she would teach me Greek if we ever ended up living together. Post 9/11 Dept. Homeland security, the Republican party is killing that chance.
captain, ” Post 9/11 Dept. Homeland security, the Republican party is killing that chance. ” are just trolling, say something so silly that I can’t scroll by??? Is She a mad Greek Bomber, or apart of the Taliban?
I wish I could tell you what I know other that what you read in the newspapers. All I can say is the gates will be locked up soon as per request of the American people. The freedom we had to enter or leave the US is no longer. For example, You have to clear customs to go from one island to the next in the San Juan Islands. San Juan Islands is part of the US and is part of the state of Washington. You can go from island to island without leaving the country. But now you have to clear Customs and border protection to travel. Also as a pilot project they are scanning yachts in Seattle, Wa for background radio activity. A bunch of bananas can set off the detectors because of the potassium in them which is radio active.
immigration laws are stricter that they ever have been before. Well for some borders.
If we do not fix the borders You won’t need to learn Greek, But Spanish Mi amigo, Tu sabe?
You asked: As I said before who has the authority to make a rule how a word is spelled and how a sentence is structured?
Answer: God alone, whether you think so or not, God alone, we can make them up, but God alone has the actual authority over everything in all existence, because He is Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Omnipotent. Omni = all, present (in this case) = everywhere present, Omniscient = all-knowing (but in this case knows infinitely about every subject, because His understanding is infinite [Psalm 147:5 in the Bible] and last, but certainly not least He is Omnipotent = all-powerful or Almighty……..wouldn’t you say HE has the authority?
- Shawn Norris (find me on youtube – chzitthacops and MySpace – /shawnmnorris)
shawnmnorris you can’t be at the same time omniscient and omnipotent. If you are omniscient you know in advance what you are going to do, so you can’t be omnipotent, you have no choice, you know what is going to happen, no potent at all. Anyway have you already thought about the concept of god beeing omni-something? Omnipresent? it means then for example that god is also in hell, a place usually defined by the abandon of god and the absolute evil, is in fact impossible. Omnipotent, it means that god if he wants can do something wrong. Can he? etc etc…. Try to figure out by yourself all the contradictions inherent to these absolutes by themself or together. And don’t run away from reflection using something like “the ways of god are….” instead of thinking.
forgot, LOVE; admire, adoration, adore, affection, agape, amor, caress, charity, cherish, dear, devotion, embrace, enamor, enthusiasm, fancy, feeling, flame, fondness, goodwill, idolize, infatuation, like, precious, romance, sweetheart, valentine etc.
1960 CS Lewis wrote The Four Loves to try & explain the inadequicies of the one word for love, a respected piece of literature in & outside of christian communities. Ulysses by James Joyce has an interesting take on “Four Loves, No loves”.
I’m still out on whether swahili has a word for Love or at least a deeper word than “like a lot” or “affection”. also lacking is a word for depression, as in the mental (medical) condition. No “Bored”.
The Japanese, I discovered have lots of words for love, but culture dictates not using the term for “romantic Love” in public, although that seems to be changing.
Anyone want the true reason we have Love? No? Ok I’m going to tell you anyways. Love is the effect of a chemical reaction in our brains. I love my Dopamine! I have some excess Prolactin if any small breasted woman wants it? The less I have the more women want me.
You know this brings up an interesting question I had with a new friend I made in the game ‘Second Life’. Why is it below average intelligent people have more babies than people with above average intelligence? This seems to go against the survival of the fittest theory.
I have a few theories on that question but so sure I should present them here.
I would like to know more about second life though. I came across it one day and found it rather interesting…p s I sent you a lil something on the wop lesson. 
Hey PD, Yea I would like to hear them. We seem to pay attention to Marina’s lessons for a spell then we end up discussing other things. I have not heard Marina or other say otherwise. I guess if we stay way from politics and religion we are ok.
PD do you have my email addy? If not just go to my website http://captainjack.ws and fill out the contact page. I’ll email you back with my addy.
People call ‘Second Life’ a game which it kind of is right now because its sort of a beta version now. But many companies are using it for true business uses. For example many LEGO employees use it to design new toys or programs for toys in the VR (Virtual Reality) world of SL and then copy the code directly to the toy for production. I myself plan to start a school there for people who want to get a captains license or learn how to operate a boat.
You can meet lots of people and do all kind of people things. Yes even sex. You would be a mazed of what people think up. And the last count I found for the ratio of women to men was 3 to 1. Guys don’t like the world of SL because there is very little shooting and blowing things up. You will find this to be true because of the numerous number of stores catered to women’s clothing and very little for men. I had to visit a store for gay guys to find and good clothing.
I really think that this VR thing is the replacement of webpages or Web 2.0 as we know it. VR is the new internet.
If you download the program and make though the instructions let me know and I’ll come visit you ‘In world’ and give you a tour. Please be prepared to be blown away in amazement. I sure was.
I’ll offer this invitation to anyone who is new to SL and would like to have someone they can trust to give them correct information. Just like any back ally in the real world there are some not so good people. Just remember its only VR and your not going to die.
PD email me if you have more questions about SL. I heard Marina has downloaded the program but has not said a second word about it.
Captain Jack Obvious in the World of Yesterday ; You are getting a little simplistic? What is not a chemical reaction? If we must go to Microbiology, but I would rather stay in the Macro Ok? As for why do stupid people breed like rabbits……….Because any Idiot can get pregnant . And the smarter you are the less likely you are to get pregnant, accidentally.
RR, The reason I’m a bit simplistic is because people tend to loses interest or get angry at me when I go over their heads.
Sometime I ask the question why the sky is blue? I find many people don’ t know this basic knowledge. Obviously your not one of those people. I was just trying to find a foundation for the words you described to work from. Sorry if I insulted your intelligence. 
I’ve been surrounded by stupid people lately. 
The English language is nearly completely foreign to me. Words are just symbols of a common interpretation. I prefer images of complete thoughts (a form of mental telepathy) to communicate. As I alway preach here. I hate English.
So the human race is doom to be over run with stupid people? Or is this a good reason why I don’t have my Jet Pack today?
YES, WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.. I seem to spend a lot of time interpreting my rants. I’ll try to remember, low and slow. Like a good BBQ
Hey captainjack, I just wanted to say that your Greek girlfriend is right about these words
Έρως or Έρωτας (in modern Greek) meaning Romance, Romantic Love and it’s pronounced like Eros / Erotas as you mentioned above.
Αγάπη is for Love and it’s pronounced like Agape.
Φιλία meaning friendship is pronounced like Philia and in ancient times also meant Love. An example of a word that contains the word Φιλία would be Παιδοφιλία, which contains the two words Παιδί for child and Φιλία for Love and it means Pedophilia.
Στοργή meaning affection is sort of pronounced like Storge, but I suppose most of the people who read this would pronounce it like Forge. The letter ‘γ’ (gamma) is pronounced a bit differently like g. I’m afraid you will have to hear it from me to learn it
Finally, the word Θέλημα (pronounced like Thelema) does not really mean Desire. It mainly means to want something rather than desire. In other words, I would not use the word Θέλημα if I wanted to say Desire in Greek. I would probably use the word Επιθυμία pronounced like Epethemia meaning Desire or wishing to have something, but I would prefer the word Πόθος pronounced like Pothos meaning Desire or wanting something really badly.
And btw, I dont want to brag and please dont get me wrong
, if you look at many of these comments there are loads of word requests in which the words arrive from Greek. For example the word Etymology (Ετυμολογία) comes from 2 Greek words: Έτυμος meaning initial origin of a word and the word Λόγος for word, so it means to find the initial origin of a word.
Yea its all Greek to me! (Hey I hope she is not reading this…
)
The sad thing she sometimes corrects my English. I am so pathetic.
Maybe its a good thing she still lives in Greece.
Hi jack, I found out that I stay logged in to Marina’s site all the time. So I started logging out after the end of the day. Now I don’t have the problem with replys not showing up.
Hey Cap’n,
good points on your post.
I find (not knowing all the rules myself
in English) that it seems limited only
by it’s usage and or user. Compared
to other languages wheres a great amount
of inferrence is required as situational
requiates infer. Less clarity,
bad poetry. Like anything I think it’s
how one does it.
Procreation is the base or primal urge.
Maybe that is why more or less educated
peoples procreate more than less. I have
planned to have no children. I mentor for
many so I have many.
The US govt. pays welfare people to have
more childrens. I bet many of them don’t have
any or many books in the home. Mom was a school
teacher and she would speak on the difference
between children depending on what kind of
family environment the child sourced from.
Teach your children well. CSN&Y

Here’s a request for more than a word or phrase. You mentioned the Indo-European origins of the word “love.” I would like to hear more about Indo-European roots and other words that contain them.
Can you find the etymology of linguistics and the word etymology itself?
Very Interesting. Love is Ást in Icelandic and Ai in Japanese ^^
Me and my family had this long talk about the origin of the word hummus (I’m not 100% sure I’m spelling that correctly) but none of us had any idea what it is so I thought maybe you would know, or be able to find out =)

Hey Marina! I asked this in a previous video but I’m still curious. I have been hearing so many theories and I want to know the correct one.
what is the origin of the word Cesarean?
I would figure you would want the origin of ghoul or ghost with a nick name like ectoplasm4
Just kidding, but it is a cool name 
somebody
do you really liKE your Mom And Dad?
Umm…jeez, don’t quite know where your going with that one but maybe you ought to go there by yourself…
You can’t love your car like you love your girlfriend. OR can you?
right captain, Is love the exstreme of like ?? My point , You need not like someone to love them. And you need not like them to respect them. But to love someone you don’t respect is hard ….or can you?
@ RR,
This is a good example where the poor use of the English language breaks down and cause confusion. In your context your using the word ‘Like’ and ‘Love’ as a form of measurement. My guess is that your the only one who knows when to switch from Like to Love. Then the other context you mention you not need to like someone but are able to love them. So are we connecting the word ‘Like’ with measurement of one feelings for someone and measurement of someones personality maybe? There are many people I really don’t like but I do respect them for what they do. So I see that the two words are used as a form of measurement of something.
To love someone you do not respect might be because your addicted to the drug dopamine and occurs naturally in our brains. We want the feels that love gives us but we no longer respect the person we are in love with. I think respect is not an emotional feeling and love is. Being in love is linked to a chemical reaction and respect is linked to mental thought.
Did I make any sense? If not maybe someone else here could better elaborate than I did. RR thanks for asking that question. I have not put that much thought into those words before. It was interesting.
__/)___
Measurement? Of …. How. I think you are mixing Love with Lust,
When a Man tells the Teach, I Love You, Does he in fact love her or does he lust for her? I think the later. But he was told as a child this feeling is love, And you need to have her, Love Her.
The word “LOVE” is a catch all. Like extreme, If everything is extreme, then nothing is extreme. I Love Sunsets?? Do you…Love Sunsets or do you like them. Mostly… I think some
are in Love with being in Love and the other person just gets in the way.
All thought is emotion, Maybe not emotional. So to put it in a thought, Love without respect is lust.
ps. When I refer to a Man, I am referring to the Men in these posts.
I dare not impune Her Love life.
Roadrunrnch,
No I see Lust as a different word as with a physical attraction.
I too am bothered when someone just says I love you to someone they hardly know. I don’t say ‘I love you’ until I really do have some feelings for the person. I think some boys are using the word love when they should be saying ‘I lust for you’. But then I would get mad at someone saying that.
Your right RR that the word ‘Love’ has become a catch all. Thats what makes English difficult for me. Like in math 2+2=4 and always will equal four. You can’t changes its meaning without breaking mathematical rules. You just can’t say 2+2=16 for today. No! Can not do that. Period.
I don’t agree that “All thought is emotion”. I think they are seperate as I understand it.
“Love without respect is lust.” Hum yea I can see that. Which reminds me of a common statement women would say to me before sex. “Will you respect me in the morning?” Now maybe I should be asking the same question.
The thing is a little too personal actually when you ask if I “like” my Mom & Dad, too much history & too many vignettes & too many stages in the relationship for a first person answer, besides I’d have to use past tense for one of them. I know some people are removed enough to type away to a bunch of strangers–guess I’m not.
Besides, really I was originally being facetious and think the exercise between love and ‘like’ or anything else is great–Teacher knew this would happen…
I know some people are removed enough to type away to a bunch of strangers–guess I’m not.????????????? This from a guy typing to a Woman He does not know?? But I was only giving you a scenario where you could see Love with out liking someone. Not trying to get in to your history. OK 4 now ?
Yeah you can read…listen poncho, just a little tip: why don’t you ask: can “one” love their parents and not like them? Of course “one” can, and your question suggests personal information about your relationship with your parents, and believe me I don’t want to know. Can parents love their children and not like,them? Interesting question following what you brought-up & I like the logic and discussion & your thought pattern.
As far as typing to strangers it just sometimes crosses a line I guess, this time it did. There are things that I would never say, request, type convey to Marina, or anyone in such a public forum–don’t want to know & definitely won’t ask.
Yeah, ’some are removed enough’ I’m not, buddy. That means in this forum there are things off topic. If you were a friend of mine I’d buy you many rounds of drinks & tell you exactly what I think (have thought) about my parents if it took six hours great have a shot. have ten. But you asked if I ‘like’ my parents and you just don’t have any idea.
Want to start a philosophical discussion, great! But you asked if I ‘like’ my parents & you just don’t have any idea: ok short answer weighing all percentages & balancing all the years–yelp.
WOw , You are wound tight. Take a breath .. Mejor? Let me break it down …….OK? “Do you” as in ( can you see where someone can ) ” like your” as in ( as a teenager thinks his parents are evil , because your make him clean his room ) MOM & DAD ( as in your Parents) .
And then I let you come to the irony on your own of ,, ” Yes, I did love my Parents even when they made me mad and I did not like them.”
Man ……I had no idea I was creating a shit storm about your personal life.. When I was talking Philosophly .. I was not being personal. I was talking hypothetically. Now ….Isn’t that alot about nothing…..Mi llamo no es Poncho
…check…ever worse when I’m freshly wound…
Can you do the word colonel, and can you explain why it is pronounced kernel in english instead of how it sounds?

She has been there, done that (and pretty good, too, I might add).
First love in my native language(slovenian) is called “ljubezen”, verb is “ljubiti”…our southern neighbours use word “ljubav”, which is pronounced almost the same as in russian(according to hotforwords above), but like russian are slovenian and croatian language came out of Slavonic
second, I wonder if that dog knows how fortunate he is? well…

in Slovak it´s Láska, and so it is in Czech. Actually I have requested the origin of the names of our countries: Slovakia and Slovenia wondering why people keep confusing it. But in fact, i used to confuse Latvia and Lithuania as well.
Why do people keep confusing it? OK that’s easy…First Country names are different by one letter. Second flags are almost the same, again difference appears only in coat-of-arms; you have some kind double cross(St. Cyril and St. Methodius legacy I think
) and we have 3 things in our coat-of-arms:our highest mountain(Triglav), 3 stars(reffers to counts of Celje) and wavy lines(lakes and sea). Furthermore in our native language we address ourselfs as “slovenci” or with adjective “slovensko(i)” as you also(for this i’m not sure, could be wrong though)
About Slovenia and Slovakia …they surely derive from Slavonia(we use just name for nation-”Slovani”-english “Slavs”)
If we look back in history, (present-day) Slovaks, Czech(Bohemian???) and Slovenes together as one group left area of Dnjeper and Dniester(Ukraine, present-day) and went towards west.
I would really like to learn somethings about the word SCHISM. Its a song by the band TOOL. The lyric “I know the pieces fit’, is in it. Will you help?
Is that something like a slut?
a schism is a division im pretty sure
may be wrong
You are right. a great divide>>>stretch>>> ok
In french we say “amour” for “love”, “aimer” for “to love” et “je t’aime” for “i love you”.
Thx for your comment and.. What about “french kiss” ?
I think that Love is a very misunderstood word. Love should be and is Respect, And has nothing to do with Sex at all. You can have Sex with anything. You can buy Sex, You can not buy Love. It is true that only Fools fall in Love. Fall? More like fail in Love. Love / Hate are the same, ok let me ………They are both extreme emotions. If You do not care about a person, will you / could you Kill them?
Can I have fries with that.
Sex with anything? What about my sailboat? Boats are commonly referred to as she. Right now I am riding up and down the waves. If this is not sex then what is?
laugh, but in Calif, you will be able to marry it soon. ie, If you can have sex with it, you can marry it. 9th court of Idiots
RR, you have got to be kidding? So if I have sex with a doll, I can get legally married? And before you make up your mine that this is ridiculous as it may seem. Take a look at this website.
Real Doll
I wonder why would someone would get legally married to something. To what benefit? There is a guy who was in love with his horse.
Is society so frustrated with the opposite sex that they have to resort to something different? Hummm… Maybe…Why is this happening. My guess its the break down of our families and values.
Wow, a Marina doll.
How long till Christmas?
A Marina doll for xmas.
I assume that will be before the dvds are available.
Oooooo! Sarcastic.
Hello.
What is the origin of the word “1337″ (elite)?
I’d be glad if you could find it out for me
Homework:
Love in norwegian is “Kjærlighet”.
Too bad you can’t hear how it’s pronounced. Maybe you can look it up yourself 
I think it’s a beautiful word
Thanks, Veldiz.

oops I mean ilskar

Oh. Sorry, I was thinking of something else xD

Damn! Im only 57th.

In Polish, my first language, “kochać” means “to love”, and “kocham cię” means “I love you”
Marina, you should know a little Polish ^^
what about the word CRAP?
Thomas Crapper Crapper did much to increase the popularity and came up with some related inventions for the flush toilet. Military called their out houses, Crappers ?? 50.99% sure. Teach needs help but I will not blow you a kiss.
Didn’t Marina cover that in a video about some other word?
maybe but she did do , ass/ass/in,
Dear Marina, I have a word request to make and that word is ‘kidnap’.
I believe it might prove to be rather interesting as it contains the words ‘kid’ and ‘nap’. My lucky guess is that at some period of time, kids were snatched when they were taking a nap and so the word ‘kidnap’ was created. Is that true?
And by the way, as for the homework on this video
‘σε αγαπάω’ (often written like ‘σ’αγαπώ’) pronounced like ’se agapo’ (or ’s’agapo’) is ‘I love you’ in Greek and ‘σε λατρεύω’ pronounced like ’se latrevo’ is for ‘I adore you’. Moreover, the word ‘αγάπη’ is the Greek word for ‘love’ and it’s pronounced like ‘agape’.
Σε λατρεύω Μαρίνα (that means Marina btw
) 
That is a good one troublemaker1991, I will start researching it
Nice Teach, Libido, Never knew. ie Your Libido is ….down? An Origin in a Origin, A twopher, double dip, ok I am * borEd*
RR, I didn’t see that coming. The connection of Libido and Love. I wonder if there is a connection of ‘Making love’ with Libido?
Hey Marina, Good job on tackling that word ‘Love’ I bet that was a difficult one!
Teacher look good source.
Ps. Marina when you send out the EMails and if I respond , Where does my Email go? To You or a centre ? pss why the hell do we use ps?
postscript? why not just chop and drop??
post PC thinking
On the subject of the word Σε would that have anything to do with the French Ce la vie or am I just being purely miopic? Miopic? hmmm I’m sure you know what that means, Marina, but could you (for the less knowledgeable) be so kind as to shed some light for us and investigate?
Θα Σε Χέσω! try myopic
lol, roadrunrnch… who are you refering too? ‘Θα Σε Χέσω’ is not the nicest thing you could to say to someone
and who are you refering to btw?
And shawnmnorris the word Σε can not be really translated into English (at least I think so, I am no expert, but I might know some stuff that could prove useful:D) but it’s used in Greek when you are addressing to someone personally and directly. For example ‘Μιλάω σε σένα’ means ‘I am talking to you’. You might say that the word ‘Σε’ could mean ‘to’ but only when you are addressing to someone else face to face. So it has nothing to do with the french Ce meaning ‘that’, I know that for sure, cause the word ‘Σε’ is used in ancient Greek texts as well, so I dont suppose it’s French
Yeah, that is a good one! I never know why it means to hijack
Can I join to this request?
Well my name is Jack and I like to get high when I fly airplanes. Oh sorry not the right definition you where looking for?
Our faces where bright red. That gawd this happened long before 9/11.
Funny true story, when I flew back home for vacation from the Navy. My dad said “Hi Jack” and I said “Hi Jack” ( His name is Jack too). The security officer came up and said, “I would not say that again if I were you.”
May I take a guess? Jack to steal, to jack. hi as in Highway. so… to steal on the road?? to steal in route. Hijack
Funny you should mention that troublemaker1991. I was just talking to a fellow sheriff 4 days ago about my kidnapping when I was younger. My uncle was a sheriff for some city in Eastern Washington. My sister and I always wanted to know why it was called Kidnapping.
Check this out roublemaker1991 http://www.tombraider.com/legend/
Umm… why would you, redhorse, send me a link of the tomb raider game, one which I have already bought and played? O.o
Anyway, what’s your point?
Have you tried out the desktop Lara gidget? she can be fun at times
yeah i was in a tennis team and i always wondered why love meant 0…now i know and i was mentioned wooooow….lol…but i was wondering the origin of “commando” or ” commander” because why would you say ” i am going commando” ..meaning i am going out without underwear…..what those a commando have to do with underwear…lol
Hi Marina,
I’d like to request the word “bureaucrat”. Hope you get time to look into it!
Thanks,
Aonghus
Dear Teacher,
Recently discovered you on YouTube, and have enjoyed your lessons tremendously… as much for the content as the presentation.
I run a guitar community website, where we get into some rather deep discussions on anything related to our instrument. I’m hoping you’ll take on the origins of the word, “guitar”, and enlighten us with your usual panache and inimitable style. We thank you!
Jeff
StringDancer.com
Jeff the music was just beautiful. Is all of it just music or is there any singing in there also?
Capman, thanks for the kind words!
Bob, Paco is my all-time favorite guitarist. Flamenco is the apex of guitar playing, I often say.
And Billy… yes, ukes DO count. Well, at least a point or two.
Capman! what happen to your gravitar? Its gone. Oh wait maybe I need to do some kind of refresh?
I agree with Capman911; the guitar is one of my favourite musical instruments which I wish I had enough talent to play. I’ve listened to a lot of guitar players and never been so impressed as when I heard Paco de Lucia.
Hi, Bob.
I think some copy editing is necessary in your comment. Let’s get the word “talent” out of there and replace it with “practice time” instead. Now I’ll admit that some seem to have more natural aptitude for certain things than other people do, but 1.) the sensibilities we develop from contact with others as tiny humans growing up into children and then into adults and 2.) the passion we bring, the committment we apply, and the sheer amount of time we spend practicing becomes what others will eventually see as “talent.” That’s my view looking back on 40+ years of guitar playing. But you have to start developing that area of the brain well before age 15 or so for it to work best. After puberty, ‘other things’ start to predominate the mental processes. It all changes.
If you enjoy Paco, you might check out Al DiMeola (one of his students, I believe) who used to accompany Chick Corea’s Return To Forever band. Also, investigate a flamenco duo called Strunz and Farah. They are truly incredible. First time I heard them I was convinced it was Paco deLucia and Al DiMeola trying to one-up each other. Fasten your seat belt, though.
Penny, you’re probably right about practise time, but whenever I would start to practise, someone would tell/ask me to do something else, so you also need support from your family and mates.
My challenge is that I can’t move my fingers fast enough.
Wow, think of the tunes you could play on your girlfriend if you could play guitar like Paco.
Ukuleles count? I used to think of them as starter instruments.
Word request: “coach” (bus). And while youre at it: are coaches realted to the coaches of sports teams?
That would be good word to do. One meaning a riding vehicle and the other meaning to teach someone.
I guess I should have picked the name in the comments about five comments above yours. Troublemaker. It all I seem to do sometimes.
“Coach” (as a bus) comes from the Hungarian “kocsi”, meaning “a wagon from Kocs, Hungary”, which fltered through German, French and Middle English. A human coach also transports a student through learning and training, so yes, they are related in origin.
