Jeff:- Job Tvojematj is pronounced like this:
job = yop - rhymes with `bop`
tvoj = tvoy - rhymes with `troy`
e = u - sounds like `you`
matj = mat - rhymes with `hat` |
German:-
Dan:- When Porta is dying in The Legion Of The Damned his last words are something like "Give old Adolf a kick up the arse for me. Servus!"
Well, I couldn`t find "Servus!" in any German dictionary so I checked with a German guy who works here and he says, "It`s not German, it`s Bavarian.... and it means `hello` or `goodbye` etc."
I guess this is like "Ciao" in Italian, you can use it as "Hi" or "Bye" whatever.
Thanks to Risto and Greg.
