Do you know some random foreign words?

[Hylas]

It's been asked several times if you know more than a language, and if you can speak it fluently. People who can speak several languages (I mean 4 or 5 of them, not only 2) are rare, while everybody knows some random words.

Like for example many people do know how to say (and write)
Merci and Vichy fraise (French)
Ciao and Arrivederci (Italian)
Corazón and Hacienda (Spanish)
Arigatô and Sayonara (Japanese)

and many other banal words picked here and there from many sources. Why don't you write here your random words from languages you absolutely don't know XD

It's NANI buddy, which means what. and have you completely forgotten what "aishiteru pai" means, and "biru demo nomimashu ka"?

Funny story- I spent a couple months last summer with my previous girlfriend in california with her parents cuz she was visiting them (as she goes to MIT the rest of the year.) Anyways, her mother and her family are of Filipino decent so they speak Togalog (dont know abou tthe spelling) and her parents eat a LOT and very often and they kept offering me food all day...usually i only eat one big meal a day with snacks here and there. So anyways when i needed them to back off with the food I learned how to say "Basug na basug na ko!" which means "I'm very very full!"

Well, I'm not going to mention words in japanese here because I'm sure Meryl-chan will come and correct them all XD

Some words in Portuguese:(the spelling can be wrong, though)

criancas= children (as in many other words in portuguese, and in this case, the second "c" is actually a different character (it has some "hook" underneath) and is pronounced more like a "z" )
vocé=you
garota=girl
bon dia= good day
bona noite= goon night
obrigado=thank you
fombre=hunger (not very sure about the spelling)


Some words in French:

Bon jour= good morning
bébé= baby
Vous=you (I think)

that's all :P

Here is just a few sentences of Taiwanese ( :shock: ) that I sometimes say in my home. Since Taiwanese, Mandarin, etc. are a little harder to put into the English alphabet, I have to do this phonetically. Sorry if it sounds messed up:

Wabe ki takzhu: I'm going to school
Wa furizhon, furizhon makdouyeow: I'm really, really hungry
Wa jien te-am: I'm really tired
Ii be bei jidei ming-gya: H/She wants to buy this item
Wa mon soun-kwaii: I'm not feeling well/I'm sick
Danjidei: Wait a minute
