Basta?

[_Inconceivable]

Anyone mind explaining what this word means?

I thought I had a decent handle on Latin and it's derivitives. Or am I mistaken?

Is it an Asian word? Maybe ancient Egyptian slang?

Perhaps someone that professes a strong academic understanding of languages, cultures or even world religeons might explain it to me.

..if his schedule will allow.

It's "Like, enough already!" in Italian.

I think you have to realise that this board has lost a real renaissance man in DCP. Sauce bottles ain't in it ...

In Spanish it also means "enough".

At any rate, events have now definitively established that one thing "Basta!" does not mean in any language, known, unknown or imaginary is "I'm outa here for good, for the sake of spending more time with my wife and kids, and because no-one here is worth reading or responding to".

It was never intended to mean that. As I've said all along, I feel entirely free -- obligated, in fact -- to come back for announcements.

And, if there's a legitimate question, I'll consider answering it.

You'll see, over the next months, what I meant. It will be apparent.

You obviously don't speak Daniel. Those of us who do understood exactly what he was saying.

I also speak fluent Teenager.
