"Interjection expressing exasperation". Not idiomatic in English. Translation of Hungarian? DCDuring TALK 20:21, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Surely it's "(I'm telling you) for the last time": a threat that more concrete action will be taken if the behaviour persists. Equinox ◑ 20:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Are you suggesting for the last time as the appropriate idiomatic translation of ? It seems to (literally) mean first time" per this dictionary. DCDuring TALK 23:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know one word of Hungarian. I was looking at the provided English definition; I suppose that doesn't match what I said, but it felt rather close: they both express frustration that is the result of a repeated circumstance. Equinox ◑ 23:26, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps "for once" comes close (ish). Pingku 17:13, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Amazing that we didn't have that or for a change. I don't think we have all the subtleties that would go in a usage note, but it's a great core. I still don't buy "for the first time" as an expression used in English, certainly not any English I've heard or read. DCDuring TALK 16:36, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
