Re: Funniest mistake YOU have made when learning another language?

When I first came to Switzerland I made a very bad mistake.

I had only learnt a few words and we (me and my girlfriend) were at a friends place also with their parents.

Everything was going fine until the cat came in struttin its stuff. I looked down and said "oh hello little murza" (not sure the right spelling) needless to say everyone broke out in laughter and i felt quite stupid .

p.s. for those who do not know, it means pussy but cannot be used like pussy cat.
