there is a story behind the "aksara Jawa" but I'll give you later....

wah!!! thanks friend!! i am really appreciated it!!

okay now i time for story,
there is a story behind the alphabet.

ha na car ra ka :
once upon a time, there are two devoted servants.
one is ordered to be bodyguard, other one is ordered to guard sacred arms (keris, Spear etc), and the King said no one can enter (take) the arm's room except the King himself.

da ta sa wa la :
one day, the King ask his bodyguard to get his keris. (the king is forget his own word about no one can enter the armory). because the Guardian always remembering the King's task. he doesn't let the bodyguard take the keris.

pa da ja ya nya :
Then the fight is unavoidable. but both side are equal.

mo go ba tha nga :
both servant died...


of course the story is not really happened. it is just a story to spice up the aksara.

intriguing

hihi at least someone reading my "lecture"

I don't get it...but should I be offering French lessons? ^_^

@ Nic well it is kinda story behind the arrangement of javanese alphabetical.
i.e. Ha na Ca Ra Ka ..... it is can be interpreted "there is a story" in normal bahasa hanacaraka = ana cerita (ana = there is/was ; cerita = story)
so tell us to speak french

hehehe i am read it...

well actually I wanna teach more about witing in javanese wordsbut it is so complicated to teach in here. but i'll try teach it simple

okay basic we already knew basi words "ha na ca ra ka"

so we cant only use it right now...
example we wanna write "Jaya"
so we only have to use it letter "ja" and "ya"

well I am dizzy, I'll try to explain later

Well, if you know English, it isn't that hard; as about half of all English words are derived from French.

One of the largest differences is that there are many different verb tenses than in English, and they put adjectives after the object they are describing. There are a few that go before, but I don't want to go that in-depth.

Example:

"I have a blue shirt"

would be:

"J'ai une chemise bleue"

The "J'" stands for "Je", French for "I".
The "ai" is the conjugated form of the verb "avoir", which means to have.
The "une chemise" is the shirt. The "une" marks that it is a feminine word.
The "bleue" is blue, and it is normally spelled "bleu", but an "e" must be added to the end of the word, because the object it is describing is feminine.


and that's probably more than you'd like to know about French

Brings back memories of compulsory French class in elementary school. All I remember is simple phrases:
Comment ca va?
Quelle heure est-il?
Il est (nombre/midi/minuit) heure(s)

And I had to think pretty hard to remember them. Time well spent

Nic I never learn French but I think it is not hard if we are willing to learn
