Speak another language?

I have this lust for knowledge...
See, by the time I die, I want to know how to say 'I want a beer please' perfectly (including any accent required, etc., to sound like a local) in every language known to man.
But, that comes with a draw-back, as someone might mistake me for knowing more than that, so I need to know 'That's all I know how to say' as well...
Now, on top of that, I might have guests, or be really thirsty, so it'd be handy to know how to count, at least 1-10, but 1-100 would be cool, in every language too...
So, here's what I need; I need the translation for 'I want a beer please' and 'That's all I know how to say' in written form (proper spelling, gramar, etc.), as well as in phonetic form. If it's particularly difficult to pronounce properly, feel free to link an mp3 or something. If you can, do the same with the numbers.
If you could also translate 'I love you', I've got a bud on a similar mission, but with different motives (obviously). Hell, 'I love beer' would be cool to throw him off as well!
Anyways, I'm compiling a database for an application called 'SuperMemo' which helps memorize stuff, and I'll provide it to everybody here once it's done.
Please help, I'll love ya!

P.S., I already got a few, but if you see one, but not another, post anyways, somebody 'might' have made a mistake, etc...

Jan 15, 2008 10:47 am German.
Ein bier, Bitte. = one beer please.
1= ein /just like the ein in "Einstein"
2= zwei /sounds more like schvi
3= drei /dry
4= vier / fier
5= fünf / fewnf
If you say this, don't hold up one finger. Germans use their thumb to show one. Then their thumb and index finger for 2 and so on.
ich liebe dich. = I love you
Jan 15, 2008 10:52 am If I had to learn just one language it would be sign language. I'm pretty sure it is universal.
Jan 15, 2008 10:54 am I know PHP, ASP, VB, JavaScript, HTML, XHTML, DHTML, CSS, SQL...I know lots of languages...

< following dB's lead >
Jan 15, 2008 12:08 pm Beer = do this twice
Jan 15, 2008 12:47 pm echo "<p>".$statement."</p>\n";

Jan 15, 2008 01:48 pm In Dutch:
Een bier alstublieft = One beer please
<eeen bier alstuublieft>
Ik hou van jou = I love you (In Dutch literally = I love off you)
<Ik hou fan jouw>

what's with all the old posts being brought up today.
fortys translation is more akin to gimme a beer.
Don't forget... en botella bue (en botehya way)(in a bottle guy).
Jan 15, 2008 02:14 pm Where is zek with his old english translation, anyway?
Jan 15, 2008 03:21 pm if(!myBeer)

barMaid.m_boobs.Ogle();
wallet.m_Dollars -= beer.Cost();
}
Jan 15, 2008 06:35 pm Italian:
una birra per favore
I love you is done a couple of ways:
To a sweetheart = Ti Amo
To family/friend = Ti voglio bene
Jan 15, 2008 07:25 pm sorry sorry db, I'm on it. :)
Ic wyscan for āna bēor, đances.
agh! damnit!
Ic wyscan for ana beor, (thorn)ances
I wish for a beer (strong drink/mead), thanks. đ is 'thorn' pronounced 'th' ...so it's like a smeagol 'thankses'... precious...
in OE 'want' denotes from poverty... and 'please' is french :P
Jan 15, 2008 07:31 pm Ic lufu eow.
for the I love you
Jan 15, 2008 08:30 pm by the way, ampersands get encoded, so the entity characters won't work right.

Jan 16, 2008 07:21 am BH you are correct aswell, I could also use
Un pression s'il vous plaît
Jan 16, 2008 07:29 am Un demi s'il vous plaît
is basically ordering 'a half'... probably assumed for a half pint.
Jan 16, 2008 10:55 am Quote:
half pint
That would be why I haven't heard of it. Go big or go home, so they say.
Bwahaha, reminds me of when I was in Holland I sat down for a beer at one of the square's. They brought me this really small little glass (like we have here for samples). My first reaction "what the hell is this? Could I have a Canadian size beer please". She then came back with one of those larger than large pints. Sweeet. And so it was, beerhunter was born.
Jan 16, 2008 11:11 am Ha, we just saw Strange Brew the other day. I've seen it before, but the wife and kids hadn't.
Great flick.
Jan 16, 2008 11:23 am "I'd kiss you, but I have puke breath."
"I could crush your head like nut, but I won't, cuz I need you"
bahahahaha, I love that movie, eh.
