: Fenestra is window in Italian. Don't think the italians borrow that word from
: the catalans.

: How come French is your native tongue? I can understand if that's one of the
: language you speak, because Barcelona is close to the french border. But
: it would not be your native tongue, unless your parents were immigrants.

: No, wait a second. They were not immigrants. They were FRENCH SPIES!

I don't think so hehe. My mom is French, my father was English. I actually grew up (after age 6) on a French island on this side of the Atlantic.

As for window.. fenestra, -ae is Latin for window -- it can probably be traced back either to Greek or Sanskrit, but I lack the proper materials (ie, books) to trace it back. The best way to make the "catalan-is-a-blend-of-french-and-spanish" would be to hear it spoken, but I guess until then, you'll have to trust me hehe.
