I wrote my post all from memory. I was hoping I got everything right, but it 
looks like I'm not -quite- ready to go without the dictionary yet ;)

reH be'Hompu' ngeD chech DItu'jaj

That's what I was going for. Or:

May we always find easy drunk girls!

>Not sure what to make of this one.  :)  I think the biggest problem, aside
from perhaps /chuch/ not being what you wanted, is that "easy" in the
English phrase "easy woman" is not what /ngeD/ means.  It's an idiom in
English, so it doesn't really translate.

Ok, I can see that. What would you suggest for this particular phrase?

>don't have /pe'DIl/ in my dictionary.  Did you mean /pe'vIl/
"forcefully"?  "You mate with your dear mother forcefully."?

Yes, again, an example of when I should consult the dictionary:


>As far as the grammar goes, the latter is definitely correct grammar,
presuming /pe'DIl/ is, in fact, supposed to be the adverb /pe'vIl/.

>Not sure what you were aiming for with the first one, to tell you how far
off you are.  :)

>...Paul

Thanks again for the help!
