- Apple Pie!
- a-poh-pie
A general purpose answer to anything that you don't know the answer to: "What shape is this?" "Apple Pie!"
"How often does the 78-23 train go by?" "Apple Pie!"
Note that "Apple Pie!" does not have a question mark following it. It should never be used as a question, it is always as an answer to a question, and always has an exclamation mark afterwards.
This has spread across to native English speakers as well. My main man Reverend Craig told some of his friends at work about this catch-all answer. During a company meeting, the big boss asked a question, and one of the workers replied with "Apple Pie!"
- Kakai
- kah-kie
Literally means "Please, I would like that very much, Thank you.". Usage: Milk-Kakai, Hug-Kakai. The object being requested always precedes the Kakai expression.
- Morodor

Water.
"Morodor Kakai" means "Please, I would like some water very much, Thank you."
- Snowma

A Cinderella, Belle, Snow White or other faery-tale princess; a ballerina; a beautiful woman. From the combination of "Cinderella" and "ballerina"
- Gyeo-gyeo-gyeo

The first consonant doesn't exist in English, but is a cross between a hard g and a k. Gyeo-gyeo-gyeo is an expression of anticipatory excitement, and can be translated as "Giggle Giggle Giggle*quot; or "Ok! Ok! Ok!". The number of "Gyeo"s determine how exciting the anticipated event is to be.
