The things you learn: “ĝis la revido”
Monday, 14 May 2012 16:08Today, I found out that in Esperanto, “ĝis la revido” means “up to the dream-child” („bis zum Traumkind“). A curiously idiomatical phrase for a farewell :)
Fun stuff!

Oh, and another joke
Tuesday, 22 December 2009 13:11At Emily's and Ireen's birthday party, when it was time for the presents to be opened, Amy came running into the kitchen, where I was, and said, "It's present time! It's present time!"
And Ireen, who was in there with me, asked me, "Isn't it always the present time?"
Heh :) Another fun play on words.

Tuesday, 22 December 2009 13:03Als wir bei Ireens und Emilys Geburtstag waren, hat Ireen einen Witz erzählt, den ich so genial fand, dass ich ihn hier aufschreiben wollte.

( Ein Seestern mit Sprachfehler? Ein Krebs mit Essen im Mund? )
Herrlich!
