50 Times People Made Such Funny English Mistakes, Others Just Had To Share Them In This Online Group (New Pics)
Sure, you might lose something in translation, but what you get in return—humor—is often more than worth it. English is a darn strange language when you really have a good and long think about it. The rules of spelling, for one, are so inconsistent, it practically borders on cosmically ironic poetry. And it can be a nightmare to learn for anyone hoping to study a second language… or, truth be told, for native speakers as well.
However, some English mess-ups are far worse and vastly more hilarious than others. The r/engrish subreddit has been sharing the most bizarre mistakes spotted all around the world for over 14 years, since 2008.
Check out the most hilarious English translations, typos, and errors below, Pandas. Be sure to upvote the ones that made you giggle the most. When you’re done, check out Bored Panda’s earlier article about the subreddit right over here. Oh, and keep in mind that nobody’s making fun of people who genuinely do their best: learning any new language is hard. But ridiculous mistakes are, well, genuinely funny—and they deserve to have an audience.

Well if you know (even) basic Arabic, you'll know that these are actually colloquial/slang terms used in spoken Arabic and I am guessing they MUST communicate in English so they've literally translated every phrase. In their heads they still read it in Arabic and it makes perfect sense. And going by the Arabic text I am guessing this is Egyptian or some African dialect of Arabic. If I were to translate it by language and not by words the first email says Dear HR, please don't cut my salary, I have mouths to feed and rent to pay. I got children to take care of while you're living a lavish life. The wish about damaging the house must again be something lost in translation because in Arabid even a vovel mark or a tittle changes the whole meaning
