OK, it's a conversation, but really, post some of the dialogue that comes before or after, or a general explanation of the situation/characters. It really helps. Thanks in advance. :)
Juan Jacob Dec 26, 2008:
Well, "per mirale..." doesn't mean anything. Moquillo = pip OK, but here must be mucus, snot.
Kimberlee Thorne (asker) Dec 26, 2008:
no more text is available - sorry It's a conversation, and that's the line...
Tarik Boussetta Dec 26, 2008:
More context would be very helpful for all the peers! thx in advance

Careful, he's/she's got snot falling out, just look at him/her!


Careful, there's snot falling out of her/his nose, just look at him/her!

It would be much easier if you included the line before and after the one you're asking. It's very hard to guess like this. It could be someone making fun, or worried, etc.

Happy Holidays and good luck!

His/her nose is running/ he/she has a runny nose

I feel like I'm guessing, as there's not much context, but the term would generally be as above. "His/her nose is running" or "she has a runny nose". With further context it would be easier. It might be something like "Look! His/her nose is running", it depends on tone, register, target audience...
What country is this for, for example?
