Word for the Travel Wise (11/23/06)

Thanksgiving
Today marks the day of my all-time favorite holiday where year-long stories are exchanged with family and friends over warm plates of turkey, ham, stuffing, and veggies. As people from all corners of the country either relax in the comfort of their own homes or dine out at some fabulous restaurant there will be many toasts, cheers and wishes for good-health over their good meal. It is for this very occasion that I pass this small fruit of knowledge your way to whoever may be reading at this hour.

Today I leave you with various ways to say Bon appetit!
  • Croatian - Dobar tek!
  • German - Guten appetit!
  • Hebrew - Bete'avon!
  • Hungarian - Jó étvágyat!
  • Korean - Mani deuseyo!
  • Persian - Noosh-e jan!
  • Polish - Smacznego!

For a complete list as found on the New York Public Library site in their World Languages Collection follow the link found here. Happy Thanksgiving all!
