Dude, I'm an atheist. By the way, godin is indeed dutch for godess. Don't ask about how and why. Don't think it has anything to do with Odin. God is god in dutch, and like in German OR in English -ine, adding -in to a word often makes it femanin like heroine.
Dutch, Danish. Swedish, Norwegian, German, English to some extent and some other languages are part of the Germanic language group. Most languages, are to a certain extend, mutual intelligable. Some more then others, especially when written down.
German and Dutch are mutual intelligable when written down. Swedish and Norwegian are much alike to some extend. Dutch and Swedish is even mutual intelligable to some extent when it is written in simple Dutch (according to wikipedia, never tested it). I speak German, but can't speak Norwegian or Swedish, but I do understand some words, when written down.

Northern mythology is my thing
Wodan. Weda, Woden, Wotan, Odin
Jeff Spicoli, tell me, how did the word Wodan morph from the word Odin, and more importantly, how did it become Godin (Dutch for goddess I think)? Godin, Wodan, Woden, Wotan, and Odin all emanate from the same source, from what I understand of it.
As to gwb4u2c, your membership here will only lead you down the path to everlasting eternal damnation which, Ramblin`Man can tell you, isnt nearly as much fun as promised.

Eurpean spanish and 'south-amrican spanish are not the same. Portuguese dudes usaly underatand Spanis tough. Like Dutch and German. Easier for Dutch to speak German then viceversa...... Right monkey
They do tend to screw up our beaches, digging a hole to sit in
if you know Spanish, you pretty much got Italian, too. I learned that from watching Italian movies.
I know Spanish, but Portuguese confuses the hell out of me, especially when the language is spoken. I always heard that there were only subtle differences between the two languages.
Although I know Spanish, I still don't understand half of what I read in Spanish language forums.
