I wish to complain...

...about nothing in particular ;)

Actually, that's the first phrase in The Zompist Phrasebook. I have been looking for lists of common phrases in other languages - German, French and Spanish in particular, and this one came to me as a surprise.

Among the better ones -

• There's a corpse on the bed. Please change the sheets.


• That's not all! I have two more photo albums!


• Where can I rent a camel? and


• One order of fermé le mercredi, please.

Of course, fermé le mercredi means Closed Wednesdays. I will recommend that you visit the page, just for the sheer fun in reading the Intellectual exchanges section - you might need a translator for it, but you should get the jist.

This also brings up Monty Python - particuarily the Hungarian Phrasebook Sketch - take a read through if you hadn't before ;)
