The Blood Moon rises once again (Hyrulian)
The Blood Moon is rising… (Terrarian)
The Bloodmoon is rising (Solstheimian)
I feel like it’d be ‘Solstheimer’, but I can’t explain why. Just rolls off the tongue better.
I can see that. Your suggestion is a lot Solstheimer than what I wrote. Is it the Solstheimest though?
I have my bears (French)
I never heard it before, and I’m french.
We are saying “The indians are coming” though, which is racist af
Never heard it either. Missed opportunity to quote “The English are landing” (“Les anglais débarquent”, referring the Redcoats) though
Yeah it’s “I have my rules” /sj
I never heard about the bears either.
A bit of context for the Indonesian one, the way “moon” is used there is similar to month, so it’s basically “the time of the month is here” said as “datang bulan”

“I have my bears” does not exist in the french language.

Who would go on the internet and lie?
A common one in German is Erdbeerwoche (strawberry week).
I have never heard this expression. Which part of Germany is that from?
I have heard it in numerous places. More predominantly in west to north-west states. But I also remember that TV ads have used this term. So I would say it’s used nation-wide.
I seem to have missed it in the north east and central Germany. Then again, I don’t think I ever heard someone say something other than “Ich habe meine Tage” except for some creepy dudes with skeleton T-Shirts talking about being brave seamen that don’t fear the red sea. Which I always found kinda icky.
Erdbeerwoche and “die Tante ist zu Besuch” are pretty common around Berlin.
German: there are painters in the cellar.
Scottish: got the painters in.
Some things cross language boundaries.
oh lawd he comin
Mom used to call it “hilloviikot” or “jam weeks” in English.
Japanese flag week - My friend at uni
Well, they do have some strong arguments.
A fire….at a SeaParks??
A common one in Guatemala is “I am with Andrés, the guy visits me once a month.”
It is used because Andrés rhymes with month (mes).
I’m pretty sure no Italian ever said Garibaldi is coming, except in 1860 when he actually was coming. But you could say there weren’t any Italian at the time, as Italy was just made
As a Swede, I’ve never heard lingonveckan before.
I have
Is it a generational thing, or perhaps a local thing? I’m from the Stockholm area. Never heard anything but “jag har mensen” or something along those lines.
I have, but that was like 30 years ago.
In Icelandic you say you’re on tour
“The Reds are playing at home this week”… British sports euphemism.
