Isaac,
And now, when he sneezes
and I say "Bless you," he says "Shnat paq" (I'm reasonably sure that's how
you write it, though it's not in the online dictionary).

I only took two introductory courses in Albanian last summer, so we did not
really go deep into expressions and such, although the teacher did mention
some when she read them in a newspaper or in a VOA newscast. As to the
online dictionary, are you using Argjiro or Foreignword?

Might it have anything to do with the following?


Shëndet! ("Health!") "Bless you!"
(Gëzoj) Shëndet të plotë "Good health to you!", "Bless you!"



Shumë të fala!
