Is Your Daughter Eighteen?
I, Ramón the Mink of Love, am nothing if not the Lover Internationale. How am I doing it, you might ask? The first trick, it is knowing the key phrases in the many different languages. Here, then, is one of my favorites. “Is your daughter eighteen?” Use it with wisdom!

Are you knowing of some language that I, Ramón the Mink of Love, have been missing? Are you seeing some mistake in my translations? Would you like to be adding your Luscious Voice to the audio clips here? If so, you can be writing me at .
In addition, humble mink that I am, I wish to be thanking all of the people who have been already been assisting with their most Talented of Tongues (as well as their skills of language). Unfortunately, for some reason, most of them have been wishing to remain anonymous.
