I am suprised to know many Mudcatters are interested in "linguistics". Here are a few Japanese. Ogenkide-good health (slainte) Sayonara-good bye Kanpai(pronounced kampie)-cheers Kanpai (Chinese kampai) means "Empty the glass!". Tsai tsien in Chisese means "See(tsien) again(tsai)". It's like See you again (Eng), Au revoir (Fr), Auf Wiedersehen (Ger), although there is no preposition in this Chinese phrase. Italian "cin cin" means a penis in Japanese children's talk! Don't worry. "Cin cin" is also an onomatopoeia for a tram (ring ring). slainte Teru
