Hi, can you tell us how to say "No thanks, I have my own aardvark" in your language?
We already have it in many languages, but would like to check some of the major ones, and would love some input from speakers of less well-known languages, particularly African/Middle Eastern/Asian languages!
Also, if there exists a specific word for aardvark in your language, please use it.
Thank you very much!

Oh and obviously there's no need to add English - other languages please.

In French: Non merci, j'ai mon propre aardvark.
There is no word for 'aardwark' in French. If that thing really is an ant eater, than we could translate it into 'mangeur de fourmis'. Non merci, j`ai mon propre mangeur de fourmis.

I dont have a specific word for aardvark (ant eater) but i can sure translate the other parts of the sentence.
IN HINDI - "Nahi shukriya, mere paas mera apne 'aardvark' hai"
IN TAMIL- "Vendaam nandri, en idana enathu sontha 'aardvark'
irruku"
IN TELUGU - " Oddhu Le, Naa degara naa sontha aardvark
undhi"
All the above languages are Indian. TAMIL n TELUGU r south Indian Languages.
Y do u need translation for such a bizzare sentence anyway?

In Bulgarian: "Ne, blagodarya, imam si sobstven "aardvark".
Again, if "aardvark" means "anteater", then its:
"Ne, blagodarya, imam si sobstven mravoyad."

In Portuguese:
