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
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”
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.
“I have my bears” does not exist in the french language.
Kindly,
A french guy.
Who would go on the internet and lie?
Japanese flag week - My friend at uni
Mom used to call it “hilloviikot” or “jam weeks” in English.
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
“The Reds are playing at home this week”… British sports euphemism.

As a Swede, I’ve never heard lingonveckan before.
I have, but that was like 30 years ago.
Garibaldi is coming is oddly menacing.
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).
In Icelandic you say you’re on tour
Well, I am french and I’ve never heard the phrase “I have my bears”…
We have used terms “blood moon” and “bloody hell” with wife, probably not very original

Most common one in Germany is “I have my days”.
