#6 looks like "toast" to my high school French.

vargas · April 16, 2004 8:33PM

#1 is Chocolate cake in German, I believe

crazychester · April 16, 2004 8:35PM

Nah I'm not looking 'em up. Too much like hard work. I'm just guessin'. Most I wouldn't have a clue and I suspect all my guesses will be wrong.

1. chocolate something or other

2. I'm thinking something "of war". Homem bit like French for man. There's the Portugese Man of War jellyfish but I don't think anybody eats them.

3. musgo rings a bell but that's all

6. pain grille. If I remember correctly pain is French for bread. Grilled bread. Toast? French toast?

I'm not sure I behandelen this the way you intended.

I have been informed that #5 is Italian for "sausage."

8. zevk vermek - my turkish-english dictionary turns up missing. prolly isn't in that anyway. i was going to venture, well never mind but hits thus far indicate maybe some sort o' genital problem

Thanks all. Keep working. I was wondering if zevk vermek might be Turkish Delight?

Vurmak is intercourse. Delightful, but it isn't vermek...i'll know the answer in a little bit...if it turns out to be food i will be so embarassed

...i am the happy dinner man

#1 is cake, not cookie

logan · April 16, 2004 10:39PM

Are you sure on that?

We need more ppl helping! Please help! I don't know anyone who has solved it all yet.

logan · April 16, 2004 11:24PM

Anyone got any leads? You all would be surprised how hard this is even with online translators... Can anyone do it?

daver · April 16, 2004 11:53PM

For #8, vermek appears to to be the Turkish word for "give" or "for".

daver · April 16, 2004 11:57PM

My best guess is that zevk vermek is a Turkish colloquialism for a pleasurable sexual act.

Daver's correct. It means to give pleasure in bed.

logan · April 17, 2004 10:42AM

Ok thats what I kinda came to. So I took it to mean Turkish Delight, you know the food? Any more?

I've tried so many translators and I just cant find a straight answer for any word. Im surprised all the language and technical savvy people on this board havent cracked the code yet.
