sienna Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Animal noises in different languages are the funniest. An English rooster (or cockerel - male chicken ) says "cock-a-doodle-doo" but a French one says "cocorico". An Italian one says chicchirichì. here it's coo-coo-ree-coo similar to french it seems In Sweden it says:Kuckeliku! Well I can't remember where everyone is really from Hello there I'm from Sweden!

silver Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Good thing we are in the right thread because I'm not sure what live this down means! Oh dear - it's an expression you tend to use without having to explain It generally means an embarrassing situation which people always remember - something that will be there as long as you live (or are around, anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it before but when I get the chance to have an explanation of what it exactly means it's wonderful! Maybe it's hard to understand how much of a guessing game the English language often is!

DerMoment1608 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'd like to hear what a German chicken says It says "kikeriki" OT: @ DerMoment there are threads about every Mika's song in "Mika's Music & Artwork" forum section, maybe that could help you too, I always find useful reading other peoples opinions and interpretations of songs. Or at least interesting Yeah, I have read them before. It where some very long (but interesting ) nights here in the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessa Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Actually that's surprising; as Romanian is a Latin language, I would have thought it would have been closer to the Italian version. well, maybe it is, we'll have to wait for someone from Romania to tell us It's actually coo-coo-ree-goo in Romanian Almost like French and Serbian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnaMariaPetra Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Easy one: What does it mean "to run for cover"? is it like running away from something in order to stay safe? Yeah, like have to seek shelter, so you can not get hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a summary for the trend for people who have been involved with a celebrity to tell the newspapers what the person was really like - the "kiss" part is the relationship and the "tell" is divulging all their secrets.

Shikutukumimika Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Cool thread! I was wondering what "nuff said" meant? It's a short form of "Enough said", which means that, well, enough is said about a subject, that you don't want to talk about it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
