Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Kon ban wa" is "good evening" in what language?

Answer: Japanese

Usually you would greet someone this way, in Japan, in the evening. You use this greeting as a "hello" and not a "goodbye" as when you leave someone's company.
2. To say "Do you speak English?" in this language, you would say: "Ni shuo Yingwen ma?"

Answer: Chinese

I chose Mandarin Chinese for this question, although I realize there are other dialects of Chinese, for example, Cantonese.
3. "Where is the bathroom?" is "Przepraszam, gdzie jest ubikacja" in what language?

Answer: Polish

There is a large number of Polish speakers in France, but the largest Polish community outside of Poland is in Chicago, America.
4. To say "thank you" in this language, you would say "salamat".

Answer: Filipino

This is the Tagalog dialect in the Philippines. To say "thank you" more formally, you would say "Salamat po" or "Maraming salamat po" for "thank you very much" in the polite form.
5. "Thelo na nikiaso ena aftokinito" means "I'd like to rent a car" in which language?

Answer: Greek

Greek is spoken by approximately 12-15 million people in the world today. The largest Greek communities outside of Greece are in Victoria and Melbourne, Australia.
6. In which country will many people ask "How may I help you?" by saying "Como le puedo ayudar?"

Answer: Spain

There are a couple of ways to ask this question in Spanish. You can also say "Como puedo ayudarle?". But it is pretty much the same in whichever Spanish speaking country you're in.
7. If you say "Koennen Sie langsamer sprechen?", then you are asking someone "Can you speak more slowly?" in which language?

Answer: German

German is spoken by approximately 95-120 million native speakers with approximately 20 million more, non-native speakers. According to Wikipedia, "German accounts for the most written translations into and from a language". WOW!
8. If you say "I am pleased to meet you" like this: "E um prazer conhece-lo", then you are speaking which language?

Answer: Persian

The Persian language has many dialects, Farsi, being the most widely known. It is the language of Iran and is widely spoken in Afghanistan.
