In Rome a few years ago, I bought a souvenir T-shirt with a cartoon Roman solider on it with the title "Er Mejo". I'm guessing that the phrase is Italian or Latin, but I cannot find the meaning.

So, of course, we can't write out the exact sounds animals make, even if those are universal. In English, cats say meow, dogs say woof, pigs say oink, cows say moo, roosters say cockadoodledoo... but around the world, what do they say?

How come our tummy (or abdominal region) is known as the stomach? The stomach is one of the smaller organs in the tummy, so how come we call the whole area the stomach?

Hello, this is a question for people from India. I remember that a city recently changed its name to something like "People of the Bean". I really like that, but I don't remember what city that was. Can you tell me what city means "People of the Bean" or something like that?

I want to get a tattoo that basically says, "what will be, will be" in italian, and I've found that "que sera sera" is Spanish. How do you say it in Italian the right way, so that I won't have a misspelled and/or improper tattoo on my body for the rest of my life?

I have just moved to France and would like to learn French but don't really need to speak French and speak English in the life.

Can I learn French without going to a language school? or Is that necessarily to go to language school for the beginners?

How would you translate sentences beginning with "if only..." in German? For example:
If only it wasn't that hard to do it.
If only I had enough money for another holiday abroad.
If only I spoke fluent German....

Gibt es ausser anpassung und widerstand noch was drittes?
das ist doch kindisch, dass man meint, sich für das eine oder das andere entscheiden zu müssen.

I would like to know how you, English-speaking people, say "poil au doigt", "poil au nez" and so on. I looked on the internet and couldn't find it, even on specialized sites. The better I think is to ask a native English speaker who has learned French.
I'm a native French-speaker who has learnt English...

The idiom is used after something to make it rhyme. For example : "j'ai bien mangé, poil au nez !" (Litterally : "I ate well, hair in the nose")
"Poil au..." is always used, followed by a bodypart rhyming with the word preceding "poil".
Note : "Poil" means "hair", "nez" means "nose" and "doigt" means "finger".
Thanks.

I need a pocket sized dictionary for my office to help out in those occasions when I don't know a word or two. I have the Oxford dictionary, but I have found it to not be very good. I need something that is aimed more at Latin American Spanish. I looked at several at the bookstore, but wasn't overwhelmingly impressed with any of them.

My last name is Dittmer. I know it is German and I have always wondered what it means or what it derived from. Does anyone know?

How do you say "the sexiest" in German? Not a person, but a thing (the sexiest gift for example, or the sexiest word). if there is not such possibility in German, what word (adjective) would you use to express the same idea?

By the way, how would you say "the sexiest" about a person?
