Answer 15

Solamente un pensamiento raro : A la lengua inglesa, la falta una palabra para decir la alegría de la vida y los ingleses deben utilizar la expresíon francesa, joi de vivre.

Just a strange thought: The English language lacks a word for the joy of life, and the English tend to use the French expression 'joi de vivre'.

Well, obviously thsi is not realy truye, I think I should go to bed now. Happy dreams! - annierats, Nov 28, 2011

Well we do use several French expressions. - ian-hill, Nov 28, 2011
