Thanks, btw it's pronounced "key-fik"

[desertdude]

I hear Ki Fak a lot and not fik. But hey its always fun to slide a fuck in every now and then and no one notices.

I don't speak Arabic too much but I hear both but I think it's fik.

I guess either way is okay.

Okay, just asked. Fik is when you speak to a woman, fak or fuk is when you speak to a man.

I wonder if there are any instances in the English language like that, where if you change how you pronounce a word if you are speaking to woman ?

A lot in French but nothing comes to mind in English.

Arabic is full of these gender things, just makes it learning a bit more tough, then there is an added plural for two. So there is a third state between sigular and plural. one, two and many.

Grammar is not easy either. Also heard german is one tough language to learn.

French just sounds wussy. Someone could be cursing the crap out of you and it sounds like "beg your pardon, please"

I went to something like private Muslim school for a couple grades, not an easy language to learn at all.

Then I went to public, learned French, forgot Arabic (most of what I learned anyway, not proud of that). Then went to junior high, forgot French.

I just gotta ask though, what's your take on jews?
