I am wondering what is the word that Dr. Abraham Van Helsing says last in the film! Van Helsing lifts the coffin's cover and says one word to the Count Dracula's ashes. I think it might be a German word, but what word is it?
Thank you for advance :)

Yes, that is exactly what I hear too! Now if I could only find out what it means =) But thanks for "confirming" my hearing ;)
shareI dont know if these words even exist! But they might do.
They also say some other freaky words like Volopnik or Foloshtoi!

Mel Brooks is notorious for inventing words. In a Terri Garr interview, she talks about Young Frankenstein where Mel told her to say "He would've had an enormous schwanzstucker." The best line!!
shareFirst I want to thank each and every last one of you [ ;) ] from all the suggestions!
I am now convinced that the last word (FusTa) is a made up word. That said, I conclude my quest for finding the translation, but I give a special thanks to the Romanian message in which the skirt translation were brought up LOL ;)
I have the version that was on VHS, & they have it on there as "Fush-Ta!"
By the way, here are the other "phrases".
"Nosh toi vlecla den moy pushta."
"Stany zsa ploftoi gog mol pafuft."
"Fala dada linka."
"Fay ploy."
"Jan ush."
"Polosh toi."
"Poloid nic."
"Abalutsa."
"Fush ta!"
"Chervania."
It doesn't necessarily mean anything, it's a reference to the joke earlier in the movie where Dracula and Van Helsing are both trying to get the last word in the argument between them, in "Ancient Moldavian". Since Dracula's now dead, Van Helsing can finally get the final word!

That's "Yiddish" and I've never heard the word "fushka" before. And I'm Jewish.

It's "FusTa" and it's a made up word. There is no word like that in all of eastern europe which is where Moldovia is located for those of you who flunked Geography.
shareMoldavian is Romanian. I'm no expert in the language. Google the hell out of it and I'm sure you will come up with something. "Yiddish"?! Come on!!!!!
shareHaha! I'm romanian. Fusta means skirt in romanian, but i don't think it was used in the "ancient moldavian" conversation. FuSHta was the word used and there is no such thing in romanian (or "ancient moldavian":))
shareSo it is "Fusta" or something like that. A little bit like *beep* ya". My best guess is that it's a made up word meaning just that, but that adds to the comedy that it is supposed to be in another weird language and that Dracula and Van Helsing argued in that specific language previously in the movie.
shareDas es nicht Yiddish. Vas Mel sprecht das is gornicht, is nareshkeit, du vashtanen bubble?
shareOf course, after the credits, during the showing of the Columbia logo, we hear Dracula saying the last word and laughing.
shareI'll bet it is all just nonsense words anyway. The whole gag is him and Dracula trying to get in the last word throughout the film.
shareYou're right. If you listen to the commentary, Mel Brooks says that all the "Ancient Moldavian" in this movie is made up and that no one should go trying to find out what it means, because it doesn't exist.
