I need to learn shut up in another language. <br />Shut up was a bad word in my house when I was growing up, so I can cuss like a sailor in front of my kids, but I just can't get the words "shut up" to roll off my tongue. However, shush, zip it, be quiet, and stop talking come out of my mouth a million times a day!!!Krisztina Cliftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083709968500243900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170040048668390939.post-18315950297765958772011-04-24T12:49:49.570-07:002011-04-24T12:49:49.570-07:00I was raised to think "shut up" was a ba...I was raised to think "shut up" was a bad word. I was often heard scolding other children when they said it, that "oooo, you said a bad word!" Then I grew up. And got over myself.<br /><br />I took spanish and often heard my teacher saying, "Ciate la boca!"Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452973364098812124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170040048668390939.post-16440729551934262292011-04-24T07:57:07.514-07:002011-04-24T07:57:07.514-07:00The nice thing about knowing a second language.

I hope I'm spelling that right.<br />She meant it and said it firmly, but it sounded so nice. <br />Maybe a new language lesson? Non?

Sumimasen is the lowest form of apology whereas Gomen nasai is a profound apology usually reserved in situations where someone is deeply offended. I imagine the same thing is going on here. The intricacies of language and communication are fascinating.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170040048668390939.post-77856809544645334062011-04-23T21:27:49.614-07:002011-04-23T21:27:49.614-07:00I can relate to this post!
