>Btw, I owe bonzaialsatian an apology - it was never my intention to shanghai the thread, as seems to have been the result. So let me reinitiaize it now:

Sneeze-words! Depictions of the sound of sneezing:

English: Ah-choo!/Ker-choo!
Chinese: Han-chee!
Hebrew: Itush!
Czech: Kychnut! (my favorite)
Indonesian: Wa-hing!
French: A-tchouin!
Russian: Ap-chi!

Any more?!

in poland we write "a-psik".

Even more interesting is the response to a sneeze.

szczęść Boże - it's like 'God bless you'. (shtch-and i don't know how the pronunciation goes afterwards:)i suppose you see some bushes in place of polish letters ;P)
or
na zdrowie - i think it's something like 'cherio' or however you spell it. 'for health' exactly

and what the hell means sneezing in bright light? that you sneeze when the sun shines? or what? i would answer but..
