Spanish:
"Como mi abuelo entonces" - "Like my grandfather then" or "I eat my grandfather then".

Irish:
"Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam" - "A country without a language is a country with a soul". Word.

Swedish:
"Billig Netto-skit" - "Cheap Netto-crap". Netto is a store. This phrase is used very often by me.

Impressed as I am with the New Wave in cinematography, I must say that this particular film seemed both pretentious and unsatisfying, and that the director's imagery, though compelling, is no substitute for a true cinematic message.

Hey - wenn du siehst, dass drei Figuren zu dir in Dunkelheit sprinten, würdest du nicht sie auch schlagen?
