Résumé :
|
Why would Germans accuse you of being like the donkey getting cross with a rabbit? Who would a Spaniard tell to go and fry asparagus? And when might the French claim they are without a radish? Furthering your knowledge of the worldÔÇÖs unusual idioms, Toujours Tingo will also explain how ordering ÔÇÿlambÔÇÖ in Ethiopia may see a cow delivered to your table, and how politicians in Sweden may be encouraged occasionally to g├Âra en hel Pudel (ÔÇÿdo a full poodleÔÇÖ) with some humble apologising. Covering such wide-ranging linguistic necessities as arguing, raising children, working and dining out, and filling all those gaps that English leaves thoughtlessly unplugged, this bookÔÇÖs charm would ÔÇô for Russians at least ÔÇô be e┼¥iku ponjatno (obvious even to a hedgehog).
