    I think rubah is right because "Voulez", is being conjugated by "vous". In questions the verb is first then the pronoun. But I think it is suppose to be hypenated like so "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?"

    Yes my french is horrible, seriously. I am just pretty sure I that coucher is not conjugated in this case.

    I'm surprised no one's said Ebonics.

    Take care all.

    "couchez".
    That means to have sex right? Anyways, if it were spelled couchez, then wouldn't the sentance mean "Would you like to sleep them tonight?" (or whatever it translates to)

    Language isn't romantic, I think. None of them are romantic. I hate language in general.

    Coucher cannot mean bed, because bed is not a verb. could it possibly mean "sleep"?
    No... Isn't sleep "dormir" or something?

    You're right. It's indeed "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?", which means "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?", with all that being in the same bed entails

    It's not just what you say, what's far more important is how you say it. Accents and voices are extremely important. For example, some Americans I know have incredibly sexy voices, but some have very unattractive voices. The language is merely English, but the accent and the voice are what make it. Language means little.

    I like German just because even "Good morning, sir! Beautiful day, is it not?" sounds like harsh, guttural profanity. I like profanity.

    Russian's pretty good, too. Lots of good swear words in Russian. English? Na Khuy?

    I was going to say that you'd love Russian then (or any Slavic language) because it sounds like a bunch of swear words. Whenever my grandparents speak Russian around me I always think they're cursing at each other. It's highly amusing.

    Orcish is the most romantic and musical sounding language I have ever heard.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D
