Broken English (2007)

Question: Nora goes out with Julian. She asks him where he wants to eat. He doesn't speak. Nora stares at him over sunglasses and says, "Food. Manja." What does manja mean?

Chosen answer: This might actually be the French verb "manger." When spoken it sounds like "manja." It means "eat."
