Thanks DSoL!
If anyone else can volunteer, I'm still open to suggestions (and now back to work).

The names in Italian are Morte, Guerra, Pestilenza, Carestia. Not too different from French...

The exact theme is "the Horsemen of the Apocalypse can't ride". 8)
I have an idea involving intensive horseriding lessons and insurance trouble.

Oh, curious how sometimes languages got such.. funny connections: the word rutto in Italian means burp. Well, not that far from Finnish meaning, anyway.. if you know what I mean... :wink:

Sorry for this foolish thing :roll:

Mine didn't really have a definitive title, but it was something completely different (verbs are in the past because i'm realizing I'll never finish it anyway): it involved.. a rockband :mrgreen:

Thanks everyone!
I mixed and matched from different languages, so my Horsemen's names are Soliman Tod, Romuald Kriget, Martin Rutto and Roger Carestia. I'm finishing the first draft of my short story, which takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting, as a stuntwoman is being interrogated after murdering Carestia.
I owe you. :oops:

I'll need to translate it from French, but I'll give it a try when it's done.

Well, I'm also learning a language, Tagalog, to be exact, and thought I'd share it with you all! :) Mind you, this is only informal speech.

How are you? - Kamusta ka?
Yes - Oo (Pronounced Oh-oh)
No - Hindi
We have - Mayroon
We don't have - Wala
I don't know - Hindi ko alam
