close this topic if it's repeated =x
well, im chinese + i've heard chinese words/phrases that, when you translate it, word for word, it's kinda funny even though it's not the actual meaning. i actually can't think of much right now but i know there's many funny word for word translations in diff languages. ex: "san bah": it's actually a curse/bad word in chinese but word for word, it's 3,8...weird. :"tien boo lah" means like...sweet and sour ( i think ) in chinese but word for word, it's sweet but not spicy. xP can you think of any funny/weird word for word translations? im bored, what can i say? :) |
