Hungarians used to automatically say...I understand. Hungarians used to automatically say, "Nem ertem" "I don't understand" because my conjugation was wrong. I remember, in our early months in Hungary, taking a baby bottle to the hotel restaurant at 9:30 at night to get milk for our daughter. Eniko had told me that the word for milk was "tej" so I asked for tej for the baby, and handed the bottle to the waiter. He didn't understand. I used German, Milch. He didn't understand. English. He didn't understand. Other waiters came to help. None of them understood. I began acting out milking a cow, while saying "tej." Finally one of them goes, "Na, ertem, ertem." "Ah, I understand." He told me to sit down, while he took the bottle to the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he comes out smiling and shaking a bottle full of brown liquid. "Tea for the baby, he said, with citrom (lemon juice)!" <BR/><BR/>So, I can relate Samuel.Ed Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281788070771190802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3448221391904037524.post-52541250786790658712007-04-19T12:36:00.000-07:002007-04-19T12:36:00.000-07:00Welcome to Peace Corps Morocco!!
