Hey Jeff, here it is in Ukrainian: відкрий очі

pronounced something like this: vidkriy ochi

In Russian and Ukrainian you don't usually say "your" in something like this, therefore only two words - open eyes

Thanks for the help everyone!!! I got to see the video this weekend and it is coming along very nicely. It's great being able to hop on the Internet, ask a question, and get piles of answers and assistance!

Quoted Text

This is indeed a nice topic... Now I`m even able to tell the foreign people I work with how they have to open their eyes. You`ll never know when that will be usefull.

Ok I have another pair since Ronny already gave the Dutch way of saying open your eyes which is Open je Ogen. I have some in Dutch Dialects of which I am now imagining it would be extremely funny to hear them out of the mouth of people that don`t speak Dutch.
Ok Here goes

Doe die oogkleppen weg!!!
Luiken open!!!!
Ut worre nou toch toid da`je goa koiken!!!

I`m not really sure if even the rest of Holland is able to speak that last one :-) :-)



Haags: Auguh Aupuh, al dan niet met ernstige ziekte als krachtterm

translated: The Hague dialect: Auguh Aupuh. The The hague dialect is probably the most guttural of all dutch dialects. Also, they have the tendency to add a nasty disease as an adjective ( didn't want to repeat it here, but dutch members will know what i mean )

Rotturdams: kek uit je doppe

Rotterdam dialect: look out of your shells. The rotterdam accent has long o's and rolling r's .
