You only have yourselves to blame. At least we can say "give me the stove bowl and the things to turn on the candle, I need to melt some very cold water with corners to wash some nuts with hats".

Instead of "Hola amiko!" <- This is what most of americans remember from their 4 years studying Spanish.
