new language

I'm staying over at an Israeli friend's house this weekend and I'm learning quite  a lot of Hebrew.

What's interesting so far:

Mami (pronounced Mommy) means honey. As in the context of: Honey, I shrunk the kids. And not the land of milk and honey.

Dai (pronounced Die) means enough. As in the context of a mother telling her children: That's enough!

I can just imagine seeing a mother with three rowdy children screaming and running around the mall and the mother pointing at them and yelling: Die! Die!!!!!

Hahahahhaaha!
