Hey guys! I was today on facebook and saw that typical phrase about filosophy which girls love to post to look smarter. The thing is that the phrase has no sense to me, am I right, or does it really have sense?

The phrase:

We've got nothing but time you find everything that you didn't do !

#1498: That's my idea, indeed. I just want to get some certificate because I should be able to do it.

But I am taking conversation classes with a native as I said. She worked in business stuff and told me the same you did. Anyway, she said we could try the FCE soon.

#1501 It doesn't make sense.

Ask your friend to go back to the kitchen!

#1501 First off, that's not a phrase, that's a sentence. I don't know but I think it'll make a hell lot more of sense being...

"When you've got nothing but time, you find everything that you didn't do !"

This makes sense, but still, anyone could figure that doesn't come from a leading mind, I guess.

#1504 Yeah, I was wondering which one was the adequate because both are similar I guess. I jsut googled it and it looks like a phrase is just a group of words that have but are not a full sentence.

It's explained here:

#1505 Yeah, word up! You hit the nail on the head.

Examples of phrases: "The green car", "on Friday morning", etc.

#1500 yeah, 200€ is quite a lot, but I think (and hope) it's worth it!

Could anybody help me with the meaning of the following sentence: "she sounded cross"?
I found that on an audio-book and I've looked for its meaning in linguee.es, Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary for "sound" and "cross" and in reverso's web too but there was nothing related to this.
According to the sentence's context I suppose it could be sth like "she seemed to be disappointed" or similar, but I'm not sure and would like to know the exact meaning.
Thanks in advance and please experts correct any mistake in my writing.

#1510 Thanks... How did you learn English? Is English one of your mother tongues?

#1509 It's almost what you suggested, but more angry than disappointed.

I can't see anything wrong with your post, still I'm pretty tired and distracted =]

#1509 Learnt by myself many years ago, watching films, reading, studying the grammar. A few weeks to master the grammar, a few months to make myself accustomed to English as a whole.

#1511 hahaha, but where have you been? at the disco, having some beers with your friends...?

#1526 Believe me, to write I in capital letters is so important. If you write a cover letter applying for a job or something with an error like that, you'll be totally fucked.
