Hi cac bac,

Thuc ra bon Duc cung noi "beine hoch, bitte!" nhung co le chi trong intime
situations thoi ;-) Nghia cua no' tat nhien la khac voi "lange beine".

Co^? cao co le la "langer hals" tuy nhien phai can than vi "lange
beine/langbeinig" is considered a compliment, though it's not a very polite
one. "langer hals" theo toi co ve negative hon, ma hinh nhu bac dinh ham y
khen co nao do "co^? cao ba nga^'n". Kho' qua'.
Nhan cac bac hoi moi nho ra mot dieu thu vi ve su khac nhau giua "nase
hoch/hochnaesig" (mui cao, kieu nga.o) va "lange nase" (mui da`i, to` mo`).
cheers,
david
