Pity I only checked this comment out so late - will have to start learning the Arabic equivalents! Not sure how to type the German S, perhaps it is in symbols somewhere?

How does one type the German S? Schei(german S). Oei.<br/><br/>The translations are: <br/>1. Something to drink for me, please?<br/>2. You are beautiful, come with me.<br/>3. Onion.<br/><br/>Also, since no friend of mine should ever be stranded without a database of insults, "slut" is "Schlumpe", tart (literally, not sure about figuratively?) is "Torte" - and aaah fuck. I shall have to check in my dictionary for "Librarian." Perhaps even "Phys Ed teacher." I'll get back to you.<br/>xx Hm. How does one type the German S? Schei(german S). Oei.

Am trying to translate your phrases without recourse to other resources: “Something something drink for me, please?” and “You are something very, come with me!”

Scheisser! – not so good after all – but I get the gist, and at least I won´t have to limit myself to buying onions ;)

Bravo.<br/>As to "Danke fur die Blumen" - I couldn't think of a more Theresa opening line, so your German teacher clearly has insight. Other possibly useful phrases include "Etwas zu trinken fur mich, bitte?" and "Du bist bildschon, komm mit mich!" (Okay so I can't vouch for the grammar in that one.)<br/>You are certainly doing better than Carol, during her first visit to Germany knew only one word: Zwiebel. She used it every chance she got, though.<br/>(It means "onion".)<br/>xxx My darling, I am extremely impressed to note that Mahendra has left a lasting stain on your writing, in that nearly every post contains at least one reference to clothing – and that said reference has usually functioned as an articulately expressed symbol or indicator.
