I just want to comment "nei da", we often use this, I guess every day, as if we don`t bother or it doesent matter. Nei da, it does not matter :-)<br />Ceep up the good work you are doing on this blog.And of course Uff da, it`s is to read alot on the Facebook comments if someones are sick, and they feel sorry for that person. And if we spoild milk on the floor...haha. I did`nt know it was common in USA before I watch the movie "Farge". Funny :-)<br /><br />ElviraDe 4 årstidenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07085511425284904554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479447751939445234.post-47511972606114279432010-03-28T16:17:27.033-05:002010-03-28T16:17:27.033-05:00When we were little, my two sisters and bother wou...When we were little, my two sisters and bother would "occasionally" get into a bit of trouble, as good little children will do sometimes. I can hear my Mother's voice saying "Har du set pa maken" as clear as if it were today. This was enough for us to stop and check out what the problem was. Of course it was never MY fault. This became a common phrase throughout our childhood and today is used by my children but has been shortened to "Har du set". They have children of their own, you see, so the reason for the phrase continues. In our area of mostly Italians and Irish it is neat that the expression I grew up with is alive and well and now my grandchildren have started in on it too.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996223497132193088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479447751939445234.post-48015472284602435222010-03-25T11:43:21.929-05:002010-03-25T11:43:21.929-05:00This is so funny!

I always remember her saying "Uff da Henry" and putting the breaks on in her passenger seat; lol.<br /><br />Thanks for the memory!<br /><br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.com
