Answer 1

Yo creo que hay días cuando algunas personas, sin tener más nada que hacer, comienzan a pensar demasiado, hasta que los pensamientos comienzar a retumbar por sus cerebros como unas viejas carretas.

A mi me da la impresión de que cuando estos pensamientos pesados, aparatosos, herrumbrosos y carcomidos de comején trastabillan por los senderos convulsos de dichos cerebros, el estruendo que causan al rodar genera ecos y resonancias que los oídos ociosos interpretan como el zumbar de las abejas.

Yo a esta lamentable condición la llamo el síndrome vacante de Pooh, por aquello de la vacuidad causada por el exceso de vacaciones.

No está pensando demasiado, es muy parcial. - BellaMargarita, Apr 24, 2011

Answer 2

It sounds like an old cart because it was meant to have that "antiqued" feel to it.

The beehive aspect was added because the inventor of the language is a practical joker. Little did he realize that the language would catch on around the world. I read a rolling stone interview where he said he was sorry he added that effect, and wouldn't have if he had realized that hundreds of people worldwide would actually try to use it to communicate.

Hope this helps.

I read the same article and checked it on Snopes - it is true. - Ron_Austin, Apr 24, 2011

Answer 4

Yo se me lo hace confundido.

Interesting. I have read that 3 pronouns together are V E R Y rare. - 0074b507, Apr 25, 2011

So is having the verb conjugated so it doesn't match the subject. :) - lorenzo9, Apr 25, 2011

Answer 5

Honestly guys, I was kind of joking around a little bit. I thought I would get a fun answer from Gekko or a lashing from Lazarus. Thanks for humoring me!

You get my vote for being a good sport. I was only trying to have fun, then I thought about it and hoped it did not hurt your feelings. - dc-alien-z, Apr 26, 2011

Not at all. I welcome any responses. I actually laughed out loud when I read yours. - Beatrice-Codder, Apr 26, 2011

Hey! I put some effort in that answer, thank you very MUCH!! It was, however, such an odd question, and coming from a non-newbie, that I really wasn't sure if an all-stops-pulled answer was going to cause damage. :-S - Gekkosan, Apr 26, 2011

Nice to see that we still have some anarchists and provocateurs around, though. Gives one hope in an overly PC world. All the same, I thought my answer was carefully insulting, and nicely resonant. :-( - Gekkosan, Apr 26, 2011

Answer 6

All joking aside , it just has different rhythm and sound which takes getting to use I still get overwhelmed althought I have been listening it. Perhaps you need to train your ear and maybe that choatic sound will go away.
