10/10   literal translation of "come se come sa" (sp?) ?
        \_ it means "monkey see, monkey do" in swahili
           \_ Actually, no; that's "paona mbege, pafanza mbege," at least
              in literal translation. -alexf
              \_ where did you find this?
                 \_ A couple of online dictionaries, plus some ling classes
                    with Sam Mchombo who likes to pull up data from Swahili,
                    Nyanja, Zulu, etc.
        \_ "so so". as in "not bad" (pas mal)
        \_ "comme ci comme ca". French. literally "like this like that"
