Translation Difficulties
So I opened this thread because people many times donīt know how to say certain word in some language and here everyone can help each other.
I can translate Portuguese and Spanish and a bit of French into English if anyone needs.
So Iīve got a question:
Do you say Math or Maths??

Math.... though it looks (and is) singular, it's actually short for "Mathematics" (which is also a singular noun)
