Czech Translation needed

sdlerner · 11-08-2007, 01:30 AM

Can someone translate the following phrase for me?
I múzy mají své dny.
It was part of an add sent to me and while I found the phrase on several international web pages, I don't know what it means. I believe it to be Czechoslovakian (former) or slavic?

Hi,

Maybe you mean: "I muži mají své dny"...this comes from an ad for Fernet (Czech alcohol - spirit).
This means: "Even men have theirs periods".

Actually, it's a pun with a little double meaning, hope you understand what I want to say but considering the object of the ad it's quite clear, no?

And to be precise, the word múzy means muses as the fairies who give you (or to the poets) an inspiration...

Hope it helps.

It was quite clear, thanks! I was concerned tha it may have been obscene, but given the add and the woman complaining, it makes perfect sense!

Thanks again.
