"Chat"

Gravitonul a scris:Nu am acum un dictionar in fata, dar cred ca provine din engleza, si e derivat din "chatter", care se traduce prin "trancaneala".

Dacu a scris:Nu are a face nimic chat cu chatter în engleză.....

[Middle English chatten, to jabber, alteration of chateren; see chatter.]

Gravitonul a scris:Te ajut eu, daca ai uitat deja. Ziceai ca "chat" si "chatter" n-au nimic de a face unul cu altul, si trimiteai oamenii la DEX. Iata ca totusi au ceva de-a face unul cu altul, asa ca pune burta pe carte si mai lasa Internetul.
