I don't speak Italian, but I did find this on a leather tanning site:

"Tara powder is a natural tan obtained from the pod of cesalpina tintorea.
When finely micronized it can be used for quebracho extract fixing, due to its low pH, for pastel colours retannage or to provide a fine plush to chamois leathers.
It is particularly recommended as a retan for car or furniture upholstery leather, as it provides a good feel, even filling, and high light fastness."

The "You just can't handle Tara being my girlfriend!" line from 'The Yoko Factor' in English/Spanish/English -

"You cause sorrow you cannot handle Tare that is my fiancee"

I'm glad to see BtVS is supporting gay marriage!

Various lines from 'Tabula Rasa', this one from when they wake up in the magic shoppe.

Willow: In this field it sees it fills in the lathe. The jar which the material which is weird is weird. The book which is weird in the handguard which is weird. "The candle plant for magic." Ohio.
Tara: This is the magic shop. R- R- real magic shop.
Willow: I am Willow Rosenberg. Willow of Huh. The name which is fun.
Tara: I think that it is pretty.
Willow: Nothing crooked you it got?
Tara: Tara. And it sees, I am the student in UC Sunnydale.
Willow: Too much in me! Possibly us is the study friend.

I'm surprised Willow thinks Tara is too much in her! Now the "I think I'm kinda gay" line -

Willow: Soul waver in small quantity. I pick entirely it is a B with the enemy, thwu the characteristic and puts the trap, memory it means. hup hyel From the ear it hides inside the tube. And it goes out and I think that it is a kinda which is cheerful.

So, as there's been all this talk of translating from Korean, I thought I'd share with you what one of my Korean students wrote on an end-of-the-semester survey for me under additional comments:

"I want that you need lesson Korean. So we understand your speaking thing. Please. You lesson to Korea. this is I want. Sometime some student don't understand you speaked. teacher thank you. everyting."

Another student wrote "I yearn for you" I think she means that she'll miss me.

Hi Dazey...

You wrote:

Well, being that I know nothing about leather tanning, I did not know why her name came out Celsalpina (thanks Scout for checking it out!) but I CAN tell you how it is pronounced.

It reads like this: Chelsapeenya

Which, I think, is quite lovely. It sounds to me like a pet name I would come up with. *grin*

Just thought I'd add my two cents. Sorry if you already knew and I'm being redundant.
