like spanish "el, la, los, las" are the articles for 'the', and "un, una, uno, unas" For 'a'. Unlike Latin where articles are built into the words, which makes sense to me, just like how plural and possesive are too. That's why I have this in my language too :-)

That's just stupid "sol" is spanish for sun. We should say "luna" and if in another language they say "lunano" or something dumb like that it's no different then having "moon" and "moonio" or something. Stupid? Please tell me you didn't just respond by calling my point stupid. 'Sol' is what the Romans called the sun, just like how they called the moon 'Luna'. By the way, what makes you think 'the sun' is the proper name for our sun, and 'the moon' isn't the proper name for our moon? Because they both are the "proper" names. The definite article 'the' means that the noun following it (whether it be 'moon' or 'sun') has a specific referrent. And since we only have one sun and we also have only one moon, the phrases 'the moon' and 'the sun' are just as valid as any other name you want to call them by.

...and "la pizza" and "les sandwiches" and the french equivalent of "to go shopping" is "faire du shopping" and "to go skiing" is "faire du ski" and "to go camping" is "faire du camping", but the best is "du shampooing"...

I just posted a topic in this forum that may be of some assistance to you, Smurf. It's the "Writer's Block" one, and it has a link to a planet name generator, as well as a whole bunch of other ones.
