English term or phrase: Have fun!
For private matters:-)

I need to create some "in" bandanas-head scarfs for my ski bar, opening next winter. Who knows a coloquial and young expression. Should be short and fresh. All languages needed: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Arabian, Chinese, Russian, etc.

Thanks a lot for any kind of hints!

de leute!


Explanation:
De leute! Even more casual... Particularly appreciated by East and West Flemings... but since these are the main flemish provinces...

neutral  Miet Ooms: As a citizen of the province Limburg, I can not entirely agree with the comment ;-). I don't know that expression (the word 'leute' in the meaning of 'fun', I do know)

neutral  Els Thant, M.A., B.Tr. (X): Too regional, not understood in the whole of Flanders

disagree  Joeri Van Liefferinge: not standard Flemish or Dutch, this is a regional expression

disagree  Joeri Van Liefferinge: Never heard it... It's not Dutch or Flemish, but half English...

  -> it is half English, indeed, as many coloquial and young expressions that are "in" ;-)
