    [size=large]Oh sorry, you haven't answered yet.[/size]

    [size=large]It is just that many confuse the Spanish version with the Italian. Please answer without checking the dictionary![/size]

    off the top of my head, I would think it was Gratsi.

    In Espanol I think it is Gracias.

    Can't spell very well in English, let alone other launguages :D

    I believe Italian for Badger is Tasso.[hr]
    Spanish for Badger is Tejon.

    Exactly right, Shiney!

    Not everybody knows that GRAZIE= THANK YOU.

    Then, to further complicate things, there is a ladies name which is "GRAZIA"!!!!

    Well it does seem like we are fighting a losing battle here . Why dont you start a new game in the Muppet Show
    called something like "Name the Tune " . You put on a line from a song , the winner names the next song . Plus a strict no googling rule .......your the man to do it :thumbsup:[hr]
    I'll try your Turkish phrase............large beer and a dry white wine and a Porsuk lutven ( without fries )!

    Starting to struggle to think of them without the title in the first few lines, but will do when I think of another.

    Wanted to do "Estuary" By Hugh Laurie, but that starts with the title:DOH:

    French for badger is Blareau
