Unique words, trnses and constructions in foreign languages

There's no doubt that every language is unique, original and exceptionel. We see the whole world according to the phrases that we use everyday. But I think that the majority of you has already noticed that ;)

However, I would like to deepen my knowledge in that area and so find out if there are any words, tenses or constructions that are unique for your language or just a small amount of languages as far as you know. 

The best way to boarden your horizons is not recognising the monuments, history or even the culture of the others. It's above all recognising their point of view on as many questions as possible. And you can achieve it easily by learning their language consciously.

Quelle est la différence entre "je n'ai pas le portable" et "je n'ai pas de portable"? Est-ce que ces deux phrases sont correctes?

Demain je vais volar! Salut! Il y a une chose que je vraiment voudrais partager avec vous :) il faut que je commence avec la petite introduction.... J'ai de la chance. J'ai beaucoup de chance dans ma vie. ça arrive à moi presque toujours que quand je rêve de quelque chose, je le reçois tôt ou tard. Alors demain je vais probablement volar dans un ballon! Dans ma ville annuellement il y a des compétitions et en même temps des shows des ballons. Mon ami, qui travaille dans les médias locaux, m'a donné une chance d'être dans un des ballons pendant cet événement! Bien sûr j'ai dit: oui! On commence notre vol à cinq heures du matin, c'est-à-dire dans quatre heures. Pour moi c'est le meilleure temps, parce que j'adore des levers du soleil. Et mainteant je vais regarder le leve du soleil d'en haut des nuages. Je vais observer ma ville en se reveillant. Et, finalement, je vais sentir que mon suivant rêve devient réalité. Je suis énormément excitée! Souhaitez moi bonne chance!

O primeiro texto! Porque quero aprender português? Olá! É o meu primeiro texto escrito em português. Aprendo desde duas semanas, mas antes, quando fui em Portugal, aprendi algumas frases 'muito útilas' como 'estou na lua' ou outras, claro que menos bonitas... :D Quero aprender essa língua, porque queria estudar em Portugal próximo ano. Eu sei, que é o grande desafio, mas sou otimista! :) Eu leio muito em português, ouço umas canções, às vezes mesmo falo um pouco com os meus amigos! Acho que é motivo compartilhar o meu progresso com vocês! :)

What's the difference between "eu costumava ler NY Times" and "eu lia NY Times"?

Songs in portuguese

Hi guys :) I've recently started to learn portuguese by myself. As I don't find the traditional ways of learning languages pleasant,  I always try some unconventional ideas which give me more fun! 

 

I've noticed that for me the most efficient and enjoyable way to memorise new words and whole phrases is listening to music. And what's also important - I can do it almost all the time :) 

 

So, the thing is that I want to find as much songs as possible. It would be prefect if they contained different grammar issues (ex. lyrics in one of the past tenses), but it's not necessary.

 

Unfortunately, everytime when I tried to effectively get myself lost on youtube, the results were poor :( 

 

The gernre doesn't matter that much. I'm a music lover, open to the various sounds!

 

And, what's the most important, I want them to be sung in the (sorry, Brazil! Don't take it personal! ) European portuguese.

 

I will make a playlist out of the best ideas and I can share it with anyonne :)
