Sorry for the delay, but I just re-visited this thread in a long while.

If I understand well your phrase, well... it seems to be a part of a phrase, not a complete phrase... So it would be harder to translate than if I had the complete phrase.

If you were talking about (for example) a street address that you gave to someone in order to visit somebody, it would be :

"Here is an address for you to visit..." So it would be in French : "Voici l'adresse où tu dois te rendre..."

Or if you meant something like : "I'm waiting for your visit." It would be in French : "J'attend ta venue." Or : "J'attend ton arrivée."

But, as I said, it's hard to translate only a part of a sentence.

Our Army is not much different. There is hardly a soldier that has not spent atleast 2 years on combat now. Most on there 3rd years. Been there done that.

I like the harsher languages like German and Russian. Well I speak one of them, so I guess that is better than nothing.
Same here, very gutsy, the region I grew up in England has a harsh accent too!

Unfortunatlely though, it is becoming Americanised. (like, sooo, totally etc...)

You ever heard a Geordie Der Adler?

Conscription never works.

It must be hard to give all soldiers combat experience?

Glad you made it safe out of Iraq DerAdler.

You reminded me one scene from The Simpsons when the Germans buy Mr. Burns' atomic plant and there's a interview with Mayor Quimby, who says "Ich bin ein Shpringfielder".
Have you seen the episode with grandpa Simpson in WW2 Pisis?

Where he grabs an Admiral or whatever for saying that, thinking he's a Nazi?

No it is a dohnut. A jelly filled dohnut to be exact. When Kennedy said that he said "I am a Jelly Filled Dohnut.

Some argentine idiomatic expresions:

Aprobation:

Fenomeno = terrific

Macanudo = that is OK

Dislike:

Tomatela = Get lost

Andate a la Puta que te pario = Go to Fu... yourself.

"Have you seen the episode with grandpa Simpson in WW2 Pisis? " - no, I damnd missed that one. But I have a catalogue of all episodes and I know this one exists, just didn't seen it.

Speaking of French, here's my latest favorite phrase: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!

And these idiots changed it. Now on some places stand: The Beaujolais Nouveau Has Come!" or something like this...

If you go to Thailand refrain from calling any ladys darling
Dar is Thai for Donkey & Ling means Arse
So when you say "would you like a drink Donkey Arse" dont be suprised at the slap.
