Thank you in advance.
DITES-LE AVEC DES FLEURS!
It's French. It means "say it with flowers".
How about this:
"Quest-ce que tu veux?"
What do you want?
Mais c'est "Qu'est-ce que tu veux"
Qu' is short for Quoi=What
est=is
ce=it
que= that
tu= you
veux (comes from vouler)= want
But in French its kinda rude to say "tu" to someone you dont know that well. So better use the polite form and ask:
Excusez-moi, qu'est-ce que vous voulez?
Haben Sie eine KugelSchreiber?
Two years of German...Was it worth it?

Do you have a ballpoint pen?
The correct spelling of the german question is: "Haben Sie einen Kugelschreiber?" You say einen, and not eine, for Kugelschreiber is masculine.
That's pretty good for 2 years of German, New Haven. You can definitely make yourself understood with that - though there aren't too many ball-point pens left in this world :wink: . I guess we'll all have to learn the German for rollerball and gel pen.
Tell me, Lovey, was that flat Dutch, or was that just the regular ol', over-inflated variety?
(Ducks and runs . . . )
you'll have to ask someone else.
Ah, chilly disdain for my inquiry . . . aw come on, i was just afunnin' ya . . .
Stumble It!
