I would like to say you have a nice arse in 50 languages

I have created a group called 'I would like to say "you have a nice arse" in 50 languages' on Facebook in reply to the more boring "I would like to say 'hello' in 50 languages group".

Actually now I think about it, I'm told that 'tens boas nadegas' is better Portugese, by a native Portugese speaker.
Apparently 'ganbate kudasai' is what you'd normally say in Japanese too, although that's from a less reliable source!

it's not tizak taybe in arabic;dry; not in my dilect at least!
we wouldn't say "you have a nice ass" literally... we'd say "sho hal teez" which is basically "what an ass!" tizak taybe sounds more like "your ass is tasty" :eek4:
