People Are Sharing Hilarious Literal Translations, And Here Are 30 Of The Best Ones

I like the mystery machine

The Latin wlord "data" literally translates as "things given"

Exactly like in Russian- ponedjelnik.

Thanks! Glad you had a good time.

Just because you don't use, don't say it's not used elsewhere, I would NEVER guess that olho de peixe is the same as verruga, but I cannot say for all the regions that speak PT

"Spoke" is the simple past tense of speak. So it can also be used in this sentence. So you can go suck on two lemons. And Yes, "Brazilian" is a thing. It is just considered Portuguese for obvious political reason. Made up words..

and... a hedgehog is not a porcupine.

Agree. Hedgehog is ‘egel’ which does not translate funny

Porcupine is not a hedgehog. In Afrikaans: porcupine= ystervark (iron pig) Hedgehog = krimpvarkie ( little shrinkpig)

Or 'piggsvin' instead of 'pinnsvin', which is more precise in my eyes as it means pointy pig in English.

Thank you for that explanation! It makes the translation make more sense.

Well it’s more of a kiddy way of saying it. We have of course the more “medical” terms penis and vagina. But there’s several words for it, including “tissemand & tissekone” - which translates to pee-man & pee-woman, or as stated in the original post: pee-husband & pee-wife.

Whats not Childfriendly about Vagina?

We are mainly talking about children below the age of 10. I haven’t heard anyone over 13 say it yet. About the thing being child friendly Vicky is actually hard to explain. Danes see “pee man” and “pee wife” as less vulgar than penis and vagina. That’s just how our culture has developed and it has been like that for probably decades. At least way before I was born.

Tiari I don't think children care that much about anatomy that they want to learn the difference between vulva, vagina, clitoris, uterus and all of those stuff when they are under 10. They just want to draw, play and have fun. Furthermore children tend to be vague. They will say it hurts down there "in my peewoman" and then a doctor will examine it and figure something out. No biggie. Especially since we have free healthcare. You shouldn't expect children to say that "my Achilles tendon hurts". They would rather say "my foot hurts" Ps. Of course they will learn the anatomy of their genetalia when they grow older. I think it's before most kids hit puberty. It is part of our the school system don't worry about it
