"A Subtle Difference"


Mistakes make life super fun,
so, I won't let the humiliation
of telling my coworker, "I have a flat chest"
{pecha pai}
rather than, "I have a mosquito bite"
{ka ni kamareta}
get to me too much.

Oh, Google Translate,
you get me into trouble sometimes.

  3. The best translation error I have ever heard was from my brother. He meant to say (in Spanish), "Wow! You have 7 daughters!" But it came out as, "Wow! You have 7 prostitutes!" Lucky for him it was bible terminology and the man didn't quite understand what my brother said.

    Keep documenting your translation errors, they are a lot of fun to tell and hear once the shock of the error has worn off. :D
