I live in Denmark where people speak danish. When shopclerks in Denmark have finished calculating the price for your wares on their cash register, they say: "Ellers andet?" which means "anything else?", but when i was a small boy, i thought they said "Æd lasagne!", which means "Eat lasagne!"
A childhood belief about going shopping
