Time for your Foreign Language Training
Apr. 21st, 2010 10:05 amAs a public service to my vast number of readers (both of you), I have decided that it is necessary to teach useful phrases in foreign languages that you may need on your travels, especially if you are stranded in a strange country or time period by plumes of volcanic ash. For today's language, I have chosen the most important Arameic. The pronunciation is dutifully written so that you can learn how to say these important phrases with confidence:
Aykaa beyt tadkeetha? Zaadeq lee d-asheeg eeday men perdey devshaanaayey haaleyn!
Where is the loo? I need to wash my hands of this popcorn.
Een, Yuudaayaa naa, ellaa b-haw yawmaa laa hweeth ba-mdeetaa.
Yes I'm Jewish, but I wasn't there that day.
Da'ek teleyfoon methta'naanaak, pquud. Guudaapaw!
Please turn off your mobile phone. It is blasphemous.
Puuee men Preeshey, puuee!
Boo, Pharises! Boo!
