- splinter09, on 07/04/2008, -1/+11Thanks you very much for that list, now I can travel to anywhere in the world and ask for one more beer.
BUT. How do I ask for the first ? no good asking for another when you haven't asked for the first one. - Sverre, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5Well, the attempt in my language wasn't impressive, though you would probably get by. As long as you don't use the phonetic translation, that is... If the rest of the languages are as badly rendered as mine, I wouldn't trust this list very far...
- MartinR, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4I found that the Estonian sentence was all wrong and had nothing to do with beer. I think that puts the integrity of the whole list under doubt, I'd be careful about using those sentences in real life.
- xeno439, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Korean:
Maekju hana deo juseyo. - TaosSW, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5An absolute must for traveling abroad.
- guyro, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4The one for my language made absolutely no sense (it wasn't even IN my language!), but - cool anyway. This should come attached to each destination's Lonely Planet guide or whatever.
- MarkusX, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3This is priceless.
- bexpen, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3Was this machine translated? Way off in some languages. Slavic for example. Some proofreading needed. Then it will be very useful. :)
- greenroom628, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2filipino translation is waaay off. it can be: pahingi po ng isa pang serbesa (or bir). or just: isa pang serbesa (or bir or, if you're really local, just say "san mig".)
- Rotzooi, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2When with a group, ordering only one (more) drink, preferably for oneself: the 100% fool-proof way of letting the bartender know you're American.
- fitqueenb, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2Great list, could be helpful for some!
- fitqueenb, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1The Dutch one was correct, so was the French one. German one was correct too, but all others, no clue.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -1/+2No. 51 from Down Under: Gidday mate, gimme another pot thanks mate.
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Yes, for example Russian is not correct but anyway understandable
- MarkusX, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1From "One more beer, please" to "One beer, please" shouldn't be too difficult.
Just leave the second word out. And if you don't trust this counting method, apply human sense and your natural sense for language: In most languages you can probably figure out, what the words for "one", "beer" and "please" are. So leave the forth word out and you are good to go in 75% of all cases. ;-) - BillE3, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1How about pointing to the empty, putting up the index finger and nodding yes? Sign language.
- luke16, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1English Cockney: One more pigs ear, Hairy Biscuits and Cheese.
- djsbee, on 07/04/2008, -0/+0Hindi translation is way off
Correct way: Kripya, ek aur beer dena (formal)
Drunk way: ek aur beer de bey! (harami, kutte, other expletives) - Tenn0, on 07/04/2008, -4/+2I really want to punch that lady in the face.
