er, you mean 2 packs with a total of 20 cigarettes?

in that case you could ask: jeg vil gerne have/købe to ti-styks cecil (or prince or kings or whatever you prefer. oh, i know: look mentol)

how do you say merry christmas and a happy new year in estonian? is it anything like: haeid joulupuehi ja head uut aastat!

Nope, I meant packs of twenty, total 40. Would just two packs be enough or should I mention the size of the pack? You see, we only have packs of 20 here. And our teacher knows nothing about buying cigarettes.

Your estonian is quite . I can see you don't have ä and ü on your keyboard. It's common to replace ü with y but for ä we don't have any replacement. (Exept danish one of course )

Interesting - I thought had just punched keys in random succession Now, what's the normality factor for that spelling out Merry Christmas in Estonian??? (something like a certain story involving monkeys, the complete works of Shakespeare - and a Chesterfield sofa......)

Wha'?
It's so easy - Häid jõulupühi!

i'll häve yöü knöw that i've göt älmöst éverything ôn this here keyboard. just show med where to put the ¨'s and i'll dò it

to tyve-styks grøn savoy



ps: didn't the story also involve a , santra?

Is grøn savoy the best menthol you have?

according to my colleague they are the mildest. he never smokes any others if he can help it.

but you can also get grønne marlboro and grønne look and probably a few others brands too

Marlboro is . The best is YSL.

my colleague thinks look are too strong and too heavy on tar and nicotine.

"smoking is damaging to your health and may even kill you", he says, "but grøn savoy will kill you less", seems to be his opinion.

Makes sense.

better a green than a grey day death

actually that should have been "a grade A death". i wanted to steal that phrase from Spike Jones' "Carmen murdered". but it made a (very) little more sense to write "a grey day death". thank you. end of message

I have to write few sentences about Christmat at my home in Danish. That will be . Or rather pain in the .

*looks at her fingers with a slight confusion*

"... and she dies a grade A death" Some times since I heard that one. it is...!

Oh sure

Wait a minute! Are we discussing *my* death here?

No, no, no, no and no! And Carmen doesn't even die - she just sings the well known bravachi pizzicato poco allegro moderato from the third movement of the andante allegretto.

And then she eventually gets Don Schmosé in the end and chews bubblegum happily ever after

what a relief

chew, chew, chewchewchew hoot-hoot

actually, it's don schmosé's opponent whatshisname who dies a grade A death

it is anyway

so how's your danish x-mas-story coming along, hati?

Ask Santra, he knows everything about it.

I just arrived from our julemad. I am going to explode any minute, I'm afraid. The rice and almond stuff was the best. And the glögg, of course. And we played that gift-game with dice we played in Esbjerg. I was quite lucky.
