I am emailing these to my family :) My adoptive mom is issei Japanese, and my dad (a white guy :p who speaks fluent Japanese) will get a kick out of them. Well maybe I'll save the last one for my brother to say to her when he stops over for breakfast the next time...without translating it for him hehe

LOL I'd love to be at the breakfast table that day! :D

Here are just a few more handy phrases for when dinning in Japan:

Unagi no nojo wa doko desu ka?
Where is the eel farm?

Kono ika o kette mo kamaimasen ka?
Do you mind if I kick this squid?

Never go to Germany without having memorized these useful phrases:

(Excuse me, where is the cabinet with the oversized dildos?)

"Warum kauft diese Person über der Straße 3 Esel und bra?"
(Why is that person across the street buying 3 donkeys and a bra?)

OH- mein Gott! Ich kann nicht fuck den, sein SEHR GROSSES!!!
(Oh my god! I can't fuck that, its HUGE!!!)

Mag ich andere, Mistress haben? Bitte? OH- ja. JA!!!
(May I have another, Mistress? Please? Oh yes. YES!!!)
 
Dillinger's fabulous examples reminded me of some more truly excellent German phrases that I used for a tutorial I did on the uses of the verb werden: an invaluable verb that everyone really ought to be familiar with - really! It will do you no end of good!! You can thank me later (or now if you want :D ).

The vampire is getting tired.

Er wurde müde, weil sie mit ihn kämpft.
He grew tired because she struggled with him.

Als sie erschöpft geworden ist, hat er sie gebeißt.
When she had become exhausted, he bit her.

We will watch as he ravishes her.

Like your Latin phrases.

I studied Latin last semester (or at least tried to) and I thought no one used it anymore. Thanks for posting 'em!

But I just love your AV!

What?! Of course people still use Latin, gosh, what a thing to say! :eek: After all, Sola lingua bona est lingua mortua*. :D

BTW, thanks for the complement on my av!

* The only good language is a dead language.
 
If you ever go to Holland or Flemish Belgium you will make yourself very popular by introducing yourself using my title;)
 
And let us not forget Portugal:

Por favor, onde você mantem os tubarões da lama?
(Please, where do you keep the mudsharks?)

Meu bichano está assim molhado. Você emprestar-me-á esse pepino?
(My pussy is so wet. Will you loan me that cucumber?)

Por que é que você não pode encontrar um jogador profissional do basketball quando você necessita um?
(Why is it that you can't find a professional basketball player when you need one?)

And, of course...

Eu tenho a razão acreditar que você não pode banhar bonecas de Barbie conseqüentemente que eu penso que é hora de proibir a entrada a Fred Flintstone. Adicionalmente, meu pai disse-me sempre que eu devo nunca banter com octagons.

(I have reason to believe that you can't bathe Barbie dolls therefore I think it's time to forbid entry to Fred Flintstone. Besides, my father always told me I should never banter with octagons.)

Hey VanB what it mean?
Ik wil met je poopen
 
Oh wow, thanks Dillinger, you're a lifesaver!! I have been trying to figure out how to say "my father always told me I should never banter with octagons" in Portuguese since, like, forever man! God, I just can't thank you enough!!

And VanB, thanks for not leaving me hanging you tease! BTW, with that av, you'll be popular anywhere no matter what you say! ;)
